Jews and Cath olics, and is noteworthy in beine the first united church program in which all denominations are participating, in the history of our civilization.

Davis Sons, Publishers Farmers Advised Os Profit in Good Dairy Practices By leveling out seasonal milk production through good breeding and feeding practices, North Car olina dairymen can meet the local demand for Grade A milk in the fall and winter as well as summer months, and at the same time ma teria’ly increase the annual in come from their herds, says Jqhn A. Arey, in charge of dairy exten sion at State College. Milk production in May, 1949, was 65 per cent greater than in November, 1948, Arey asserts, adding that a fairly large surplus existed in most of the larger milk markets of the State during the summer. Since there was no market for this milk in fluid form, 't was converted into butter and other products and the dairyman wes na>d for it on a manufactur m" basis —about $2.50 per 100 ip s «. than if it had been , n t u, e p o ft’ e trade. Seasonal o,, n *; r nfn tv ,j s ev tent is not e-nensive to the producer, , a v,,,f ;t also makes plant '•'"■'Unn difficult. 1 ‘■Yrplus.

It is very im portant that a sizable number of the herd freshen during this per iod, when farmers’ milk bases are being established. It is also during this period that cows which ; freshened during the spring and early summer months drop rapid ’y in milk production. Arev says fall freshening also re ru'ts in a larger annual milk pro durt'on per cow than spring freshening. Cows which freshen ; n the Call have a tendency to go un in production when turned on pasture in the spring, whereas the reverse is true when snring freshened cows are placed on dry barn feed in the fall. Fall fresh ening a’so makes possible a more efficient use of farm labor, and voung calves suffer loss at this neriod of the year from scours, heat, and flies.
