JETER EXTENDS THANKS
Dear Mr. Editor:
Some will say, perhaps, that I
should have used this sheet of pa
per for a more valuable purpose.
That would be true under ordi
nary circumstances but I feel so
keenly my indebtedness to you for
the definite services you have ren
dered to us and to the rural peo
ple who read your paper that I do
not feel this sheet will have been
wasted when it is used to extend
to you my thanks and our best
wishes for a Happy Christmas sea
son.
In other words, those of us here
at State College intrusted with the
responsiblity of reporting back to
the people the results of our re
search investigations, our exten
sion demonstrations, and the gov
ernmental rulings which affect
farm life, feel that the part which
you continue to play in this ef
fort is one of greatest value. No
one can deny that the great in
crease in Victory gardens was not
due in large measure to the in
formation which you printed about
the gardens. You encouraged th$
production of more food of all
kinds and you published the nec
essary information pertinent to
the production of this food.
North Carolina has moved for
ward under the pressure of war
in the production of more beef,
more milk and butter, more chick
ens and eggs, and almost all other
kinds of foods. The messages of
how to do this, as carried in your
columns week after week, had its
effect.
A significant thing about all
this increased production is that
it was done with less labor and
with less everything else needed
in good farming except the in
domitable will of our people. No
one can realize the difficulties
which had to be overcome by farm
fam-lies in bringing about such a
production. The encouragement
and suggestions which you have
given through your news columns
helped greatly and because of this
you should feel that you had a
very definite part in winning the
food production victory of 1943.
That is why I say this sheet of
paper is not wasted and why I
extend to you again my thanks
and good wishes.
x Yours very truly,
r* F. H. JETER, Editor

“The story of any child, from birth to maturity, is chiefly a story of diet.
For your own youngster’s sake make rich TRANSYLVANIA DAIRIES MILK
