Signs Of Progress In Dairying In Transylvania County
With June being National Dairy month, attention is being focused on the industry locally, and a sur
vey reveals that during the past few years remarkable progress has been made in this county in dairying.
Above is the fine herd of C. C. Garren, of the Cherryfield section, and according to Wade Johnson, as
sistant county agent, who can be noted on the right with Mr. Garren in the background, his success can
be attributed to the carrying out of approved pasture practices that included soil testing, applying of
lime, phosphate and potash in accordance with needs of the soil. Mr. Garren has been producing grade
“A” milk for about 2 years, and is today milking 10 grade cows, mostly Guernsey, which give some 30
gallons of milk daily. (Times Staff Photo.)

POLIO PATIENTS
GET $2,750 CHECK
National Foundation Sends
Funds To Aid In Care Of
Ten Victims
A check for $2,750 to help pro
vide care for local polio patients
has been received by the Transyl
vania county chapter of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis, it was announced today by
Dr. C. L. Newland, chapter chair
man.
When the March of Dimes
funds are raised, Dr. Newland ex
plained, half stays here with the
local chapter and half goes to na
tional headquarters for research,
professional education and emer
gency aid such as the check just
received.
Dr. Newland said record-break
ing polio incidence during the last
three years had exhausted the
treasuries of hundreds of chapters
across the country and that $5,
000,000 in the 1951 March of
Dimes funds had been used to pay
old bills even before this year’s
incidence had become a serious
factor.
1 At present the Transylvania
county chapter is providing funds
for the care, in whole or in part,
of 10 patients afflicted this year
in addition to underwriting the pa
tient care costs of others stricken
prior to January 1.
Background Of Industry Is
Given. Urges Greater
Progress In State
By WADE W. JOHNSON
Assistant County Agent
Transylvania county joins in a
nation-wide celebration of the
15lh Annual June Dairy month.
The purpose of the June Dairy
month program is not only to
acquaint the milk consuming pub
lic with the health value of milk
and milk products but also to pro
mote dairying and better dairy
practices on the farms of Transyl
vania county .
The value of milk and milk prod
ucts in our daily diet cannot be
over emphasized. According to
Miss York Kiker, N. C. Depart
ment of Agriculture Marketing Spe
cialist, the human manufacturing
plant, this body of ours, needs the
fuel of milk and milk products
every day. Physicians and nutri
tionists tell us that milk does more
for us and does it cheaper than
any other foods. Milk, nature’s
most nearly perfect food, supplies
some of every food nutrient essen
tial to the diet. Milk and milk
products comprise over 25 per
cent of the foods consumed an
nually by the average American
family. Children should be en
couraged to drink even more milk
in the summer than in the winter.
Summer brings warm weather-and
with the daily expenditure of
childhood energy in all sorts of
pleasures and sometimes strenu
ous activities, milk is needed to

MERCHANTS JOIN
IN OFFERING A
HOST OF VALDES
Special Prices In Effect On
Saturday And Monday
Of Next Week
OBJECT IS TWO-FOLD
With enthusiasm and a remark
able degree of unity, Brevard mer
chants are joining this week in
promoting “Welcome to Brevard”
Dollar Days tomorrow (Friday),
Saturday and Monday. The event
is being sponsored by the Brevard
chamber of commerce, acting upon
a ruggestion of the merchants com
mittee of the organization.
Beginning on June 7, the mer
cantile establishments of Brevard
will stay open all day on Thurs
days during the months of June,
July and August.
The purpose of the event is
two-fold: first, to welcome the
new people who will work in the
cellophane plant to Brevard
stores. The second object is to
give everyone an opportunity to
buy reliable, much- needed mer
chandise in a wide variety at very
greatly reduced prices at a time
when the price trend is steadily
mounting.
“I earnestly urge everyone in
^revard’s trading territory to take
advantage of the "^nuine bargain*
being offered for these three days,”
Dr. E. O. Roland, president of the
chamber said. “By so doing they
will make worthwhile savings and
at the same time show their ap
preciation of the efforts of local
businessmen to attract more trade
to Brevard and thus build a better
and a more progressive town.”
In many instances, much of the
merchandise was gotten for this
particular trade event and quanti
ties in cases are limited. It will
be many months before another
event similar to this is staged, so
the thrifty minded are urged to do
their shopping early.
