NORTH CAROLINA, VARIETY VACATION LAND to The State Department of Conservation and Development has just issued a booklet of views and sent us a copy. It starts with the Atlantic Ocean, gulls, and the Wright Memorial and ends in the Smoky Mountains with rhododendrons and Lake Santeetlah. one turns the pages he MILK Milk is a very important food, which contains the necessary ele ments for a well-balanced diet. Fresh, good, wholesome milk should be a part of the daily diet for both young and old; the underweight and overweight. When used as it should be, with other foods, it will materially aid in bringing the un derweight up to the normal weight, and be used to bring the overweight down to normal weight. The purpose of this article is not especially to point out the value of milk as a food, but to urge the pub lic to acquaint itself with the quali ty of milk used. The Wake County Health Depart ment only recommends milk sold by approved dairies, producing Grade A milk. For the last quart er, ending .June 30, the average bac teria count was most gratifying. Os the 19 dairies selling raw sweet milk, 10 had an average bacteria count of 11,000 and under. The 4 pasteurizing plants had a bacteria count of 11,000 and under. In oth e rwords, 14 of the dairies and dairy plants selling raw and pas teurized milk, had an average bac teria count of 11,000 and under. There was not a single dairy that had a higher average bacteria count than 26,000 for the quarter. When this report was presented to the Wake County Board of Health, it was highly pleased with the quality of milk being distributed by the dairies and dairy plants in Raleigh and Wake County. But this is not all all of the 23 dairies and dairy plants, with the excep tion of one, had a butter fat aver age of 4or more, and some as high as 5.50 per cent. So, in addition to these dairies and dairy plants put- 1 ting out safe milk, they are putting •ut a milk with a high butter-fat content. All cows supplying milk to the public are tested for tuberculosis and Bangs’ Disease. It is gratify ing to know that we have not had a reactor to tuberculosis in Wake County for a number of years. The number of cows reacting to Bangs’ Disease is becoming lower and low er. When a reactor is found, it is immediately removed from the herd and slaughtered. Those who keep a cow to supply the family needs should know the quality of the milk, by applying all the tests necessary to determine the state of health of the cow, and te observe all the rules necessary to produce safe, wholesome milk. Milk from family cow is not per mitted to be sold or vended in the City of Raleigh. This is as it should be, because it cannot he supervised. Patronize our advertisers. Eastern Carolina Mats Open Today Long months of nearly ceaseless toil are now drawing to a close for eastern Carolina tobacco growers. Beginning today they can now ex change their golden leaf for the cash required to sustain them and their families until another harv est period rolls around. Many Nash farmers have been endeavoring to have loads ready for the market opening today and if last year’s average price of $2.85 prevails this year, it is esti mated farmers in the New Bright Belt will receive at least $65,996,- 250 though it is expected that the average will he higher and the in come corespondingly greater. Fourteen markets with 65 ware houses are in the belt that opened today. They are Wendell, Ahoskie, Farmville, Goldsboro, Greenville, Kinston, Robersonville, Rocky Mt., Smithfield, Tarboro, Wallace, Washington, Williamston and Wil son. TIME TO PLANT FALL AND WINTER GARDENS Farm families who wish to enter the fall and winter garden contest Sponsored by the State College ex tension service are urged to start I planting their gardens as soon as [ possible. The first step recommended by extension specialists is that of pre paring the soil and supplying it with plenty of stable manure or other organic matter. Among the vegetables that may i be planted in August are: Broccoli,' mustard, Swiss chard, endive, let- j tuce, cauliflower, cabbage, turnips, carrots, beets, celery, collards, snap beans, lima beans, sugar corn, and tomatoes. Broccoli, cauliflower, and Chinese cabbage may be planted in hills 15 inches apart, or the seed may be sown in plant beds and transplanted later. Side dress the plants with nitrate of sodn three to four weeks after transplanting. Sow celery in plant beds and cover with burlap or heavy paper, but re move the covering as soon as plants appear above ground. Transplant to field 6 to 8 weeks later. Set plants in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart. Celery will not mature in acid soil. Wood ashes or hydrated lime broadcast over the soil a month before plants are transplanted will aid In maturing the celery. Lettuce may be sown in seed beds partially shaded during the day. Cover bed with a layer of woods litter and water thoroughly once a week. Tramplaat to a partially shaded plot, and give a side dress- begins to wonder and wish before he remembers that all these wonderful glimpses from nature are to be found almost at his doorstep. But the scenes are mostly from sports and nature, some thing to appeal to the tourist and visitor. That is all well and good, but Senator Bailey has ex pressed the conviction about the sort of adver tising that will do North Carolina the most good. The big mountains in the west, the fine sports of the Piedmont, and the surf of the east are all worthwhile things to entice the tour ist, but as Senator Bailey so well says below there is something far more important to tell the world: “I think the opportunity lies byway of giv ing North Carolina a place in the minds of the American people as a State in which a man’s property will be safe, in which his right to work will be respected, in which his earnings will not be wantonly taken away from him, in which equality under the law will be maintained and in which he and his wife and his children may rest assured of that security which comes from the sense of law and confidence that the govern ing powers will govern according to the law and will permit no break-down of the law.” ing of nitrate of soda a few weeks later.
