' North Carolina imported last year : (;iiiy products of a value equalling v; 1 il:e value ol! the products of the u.iliy industry in the state for th.l ;, same year. Hut even at that, tens ,5 4if thousands of North Carolina farm ' I families to say nothing of families in -' I towns did not consume any whole : j milk and used v,?ry little butter, A lii-t.t and condensed milk. ;',t" "You cannot grow a man without 3iu',." strikingly declared Dr. W. S. , liaiiUin, head of the state board of ,).-:dth, a few days ago. "From the jtarwlpoint of Jiealth, I would not '$v. !h for anything" better than that V;,;4iHh family in North Carolina i-hould have one or more milk cows." ,. i Health experts are agreed that the minimum requirements for the main :!"' $t nance of; health is one quart of Vini!k per day for children under 18 "yt :us of age, and one pint per day adults. The milk that is now being produced in North Carolina is w. jut about sufficient, if it were f evenly distributed and all used as whole milk, to supply the minimum i jrquirements for the children. In order to supply in addition the mini--amim requirements for adults nearly ;",s 70,000,000 gallons per year would have to be produced. y In order to supply the minimum requirements and at the same time to produce the same proportionate ' amount of butter it would be neces-V'-eary for the farmers in North Car Wilina to practically double the number Vj'jlof their milk cows. Inasmuch as families which have appreciated ;;h'e value of milk as a food product vie consumption is two or three ' '-ttimes the minimum requirements it virtnay readily be seen that to - put Jorth Carolina on a really adequate " ,lf supporting basis in the matter of dairy products, it would be nec essary to treble or possibly to quad .,: tuple the number of milk cows.
