Grade “A” milk sells for 10 cents a gallon more than ungraded i
milk. If a farmer’s production is 10 gallons a day, this gives him
an extra income of $1 a day, or $365 a year. “The need is for 2,800
North Carolina farmers to change over from ungraded to grade
“A” milk production,” says John A. Arey, Extension dairy special
ist at State College. He suggests that before a farmer makes the
change over, he take the matter up with the processing plant to !
which he has been delivering his milk.

ROUND-UP
U. S: civilians will get 63 per
cent of the vitamin A allocation in
1944, WFA says, as the army gets
most of its vitamins through a
balanced diet. . . . Burn any pack
ing material that comes with gifts
from soldiers abroad to avoid in
sect pests and plant diseases, ad
vises the Department of Agricul
ture. The department also advises
that started chicks, three or four
weeks old, have a better chance of
survival for the poultry beginner
than newly hatched chicks have. . .
With the largest winter cabbage I
crop in history, WFA has asked I
the kraut industry to make 80,000
more tons of kraut. . . . Total U.
S. war casualties as announced up
to January 25 were 142,289—in
cluding 32,662 dead, 47,123 wound
ed, 32,699 missing and 29,805 pris
oners of war. ... In general, ra
tion cost of meats is higher and
of canned vegetables lower during
February'. . . . WFA has ordered
packers to set aside at least 80
per cent of all canner and cutter
beef for the U. S. armed forces.
. . . Prices of fresh tongue range
from four to five cents less per
pound under recent OPA regula
tion than under the previous reg
ulation. . . . Farmers and other
bulk users of gasoline may replace
losses from their storage facilities
resulting from fire, theft, acci
dent or other extraordinary cir
cumstances, under a new OPA
procedure. . . . WFA will soon
release approximately 4,000 cases
or 120,000 pounds of dry pea or
soya soup powder from govern
ment reserves to civilian consum
ers. . . . The Farm Freezer Indus
try Advisory committee has rec
ommended to WPB that 25,000
farm freezers, combining cold stor
age and freezing elements, be made
and distributed in 1944 .
The Army Quartermaster Corps
reports that it has been able to
purchase less than 20 per cent of
its requirements in poultry during
the past year. Certain set-aside
orders were issued at the begin
ning of the year to provide for
military hospitals and other war
services. •

SENSE AND NONSENSE
By Jean Hall
It’s ’’murder” they say, and oh
woe is poor me when those “re
venge seeking” so-and so’s of R.
H. S. get their dander up at the
perfectly harmless (???) little
items I innocently (?) printed
about them. Oh, well, what’s a
broken neck, anyway, so here goes
—and just listen!
News of the moment!!! The
fleet’s in or anyway Charles Lee,
that dashing ex-senior sailor. Eyes
to the right, girls, what are you
waiting for? Oh, oh, I see. Helen
G. has “No Trespassing” signs on
him for the duration—at that!
Oh, these parties, they furnish
the juiciest gossip to write (confi
dentially, here’s where my neck
gets broken.) Everyone has that
“morning after the night before”
look. Sounds mighty suspicious,
doesn’t it? Bob L. and Ruth G.
looked mighty happy the next
morning . . . even if a bit sleepy.
wamea: a ton of dynamite by I
that tall (period) dark (???) hand
some boy am I spreading it on
thick?) redhead to blow to bits a'
driver in an old A model. Does
“my public” catch on to this
item.
“Oh, what a beautiful night” (if
it wasn’t foggy) was Doris P.’s
motto at the party Thursday night.
Could her escort have had any
thing to do with it?
“Bing Sinatra” (T. R. Chastain)
has Miss Dillard walking around
in a trance since he started croon
ing hit songs in English IV. She
does the strangest things — such
as sending him to detention hall
for his “handiwork” and dishing
out home work.
That guy Shakespeare wasn’t
just kidding when he said the
course of true love never runs
smooth, eh, Madrie? Even if the
“wolf pack” does think otherwise.
The navy technique always comes
through with flying colors.
Oh, what an exciting week for
the seniors (girls, I mean). Those
ex-seniors in the navy and air
corps strolling around, distracting
our attention (?) from our books,
should be an alibi for all those
E’s. Anyone who could concen
trate with that excitement going
on has a million dollar willpower.
Would you believe me if I told
you about the new romance? None
other than Wayne H. and June
Lee.
Here’s where I make my exit
because that murderous looking
gang is stalking up!
THERE’S SAFETY IN
GOOD REPAIR . . .
Heels so straight, you won't
risk turning your ankle:
tips so solid stubbing your
toe’s less painful: soles so
firm you won’t skid or be
easily hurt stepping on
rough surfaces. That’s the
kind of shoe insurance good
repair can give! Be sure of
it here.
