increase in income from farm

from now until next October.
Commercial truck crops, for the
most part, made good progress

of early crops in the South
ind West is ending, and consuming
centers are receiving a heavier
proportion of their fresh vegetables
from less distant sections.
These areas will furnish the bulk

crops, including Irish potatoes,

June were 8 per cent above those

the corresponding period in 1941.

other pertinent programs. There j

munity has elected a man and
woman leader, both in some cases.
These leaders contact and are
responsible for explaining programs
to from 4 to 6 neighboring
families.
The farm agent, Paul Kiser,
says: "I think if an emergency
greater than we have today
should come, every farm family in
Lee County could be reached in a
very few hours."
| Already successfully and effi-'
ciently conducted drives were the
Victory Garden, Scrap Iron Collection,
Farm Machinery Repair, 1
4-H Mobilization, Pledge to Buy
Stamps and Bonds, and Enriched
Flour programs. The most educational
program was explaining the
advantages of using enriched flour
and bread and whole wheat bread
j and flour to isure better health.
The Greenwood Community
leader, L. F. Meador, says: "We
have set up definite goals for all
families in my community. Every
family is to grow a garden, have
a cow, chickens, and hogs.
"And," he continues, "We already
are reaching some of these
goals. Three cows were bought in
one week as a result of the nro
gram."
I The vice-president of the County
Neighborhood Leader Organization,
Mrs. R. L. Ross, of the Colon
Community, says: "I think
{ we as leaders are repaid for the
time and energy used for as
citizens we not only want to have
the good things of life for our!
selves but we do want to share
\ them with those who live around
us."
Mr. T. M. Perry, County Chairman
of the Neighborhood Leader
j Organization, says: "Not only will
i we insure our health in Lee
County by using whole wheat and
enriched bread and flour, but we
will invest in Stamps and Bonds
so that our soldiers and sailors
will have all the food, tanks,
planes, guns, ammunition, and
ships they need to fight the battle
front while we hold steadfast
to the farm and home front.'"
Good Reasons Why
Mary E. Thomas, Extension
Nutritionist from N. C. State
Tomatoes moved in approximately
the same volume as last season.
Rail shipments of commercial
truck crops through June 13 this
year were 13 percent above those
of a year ago. Early cantaloupes
and watermelons are now moving
in fairly heavy volume. Shipments
during the period May 31-June 13
were much heavier than during
the preceding two weeks, but the
movement to date is somewhat
behind that of last season. A total
of 11,339 cars of commercial
early potatoes were shipped during
the period May 31-June 13
compared with 8,654 cars the preceding
two weeks and 8,442 cars
during the corresponding period
in 1941.

r, SOUTHPORT, N. C.
College, gave the Lee County !P
neighborhod leaders these facts, &
and reasons why people should
use whole wheat and enriched l?
bread and flour. !0
For years bread has been call-| (
ed the staff of life, and rightly o:
so, as long as the grain was n
ground and all of It used in cere- 01
al and bread, because it is high -A
in food value. It contains starch P
for energy, protein for building d
muscles, minerals and vitamins;ei
for health and strength. However, 0
In recent years modern milling 'si
processes have removed much of bl
value protein, minerals, and vita-|
mins from flour. The result is re- w
fined white flour having very lit- 01
tie food value except the starch, ,ir

tiave gotten together and with the
approval of the Food and Drug]
Administration are adding some n,
3f the nutrients that have been n
lost in the milling. Chief among b<
the nutrients lost are thiamin,
the morale vitamin, niacin (for- n
merly call nicotenic acid) the t,
pellagra preventative vitamin, jr
and iron needed for rich red blood.
In other words, thev are enrich- ..
Ing white flour by the addition ^
3t vitamins and minerals which t(
nutritionists have found many
people are not getting in suffi- f]
cient amounts. Since everybody cl
sats bread and uses flour, it was
decided that enriching bread and n
flour would be a simple inexpensive
way for all people to get the w
nutrients so necessary for health s
and morale. w
Enriching Costs Little h
"The enrichment does not cost 1
much," says Miss Thomas. "I am ii
told that the expense to the miller c
and baker amounts to about 30c a
per barrel and that many mer- n
chants sell the same grade of'

Miss Thomas urges us to read O

ne can be sure it contains thia- di
lin, niacin, and iron in the am- ir
