Merchants Asking
Cooperation With
[ Drink Shortage
A number of Kings Mountain
and Cleveland county retail mer
2 chants who retail soft drinks are
cooperating with the retail section
. of the American Bottlers, in ask
1 ing that soft drinks be consumed
'< on the premises.
1 This is only temporary, explain
ed one merchant, and will be re
lieved at soon as an adequate sup
‘ ply of sugar allows soft drinks for
1 home consumption again.
5 At the present time there is an
acute shortage of sugar which in
" turn makes a critically short sup
ply of soft drinks. There just
aren’t enough drinks to go around.
Customers are being asked to
I drink their soft drinks on the
premises thus making more drinks
available in the coolers of their
f favorite stores and eating places.
Several stores in the Kings
j Mountain area put this plan into
operation some months ago when
the sugar first became scarce,
j thus it is nothing new to this
. locality.

Dairy Production
Payments Stepped
Up This Quarter
Dairy farmers in North Carolina
will'have the benefit of increased
payment rates for milk and but
terfat production payments dur
ing the current quarter, beginning
July 1. These government pay
ments to milk and butterfat pro
ducers are adjusted quarterly to
reflect changes in production
costs.
The new rates for North Caro
lina for milk and butterfat pro
duction in July, August and Sep
tember will be 75 cents per hun
dred pounds of milk, and 13 cents
per pound for butterfat, Scott
said. Rates for the quarter just
ended were 55 cents per hundred
pounds for milk and 10 cents per
pound for butterfat.
“Higher payments for produc
tion during the current three
months period will help offset the
extra feed bills when pastures
brown off during the summer and
more mixed feed and hay have
to be fed to maintain production
levels,” the AAA chairman said
