Healthy Herd Is Essential
To Profitable Dairying
A healthy herd is essential to
efficient, profitable dairy produc
tion. But despite great strides
made in control methods, disease
organisms continue to cut produc
tion and eat up the Qrofits in
many dairy herds.
T. C. Blalock, dairy specialist
for the N. C. Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says the worst
"thieves" are chronic diseases
that slip in unnoticed and slowly
eat away a cow's ability to pro
duce efficiently.
Mr. Blalock says mastitis causes
the largest losses. Acute mastitis
is easily detected and readily de
stroyed: therefore, it receives
prompt treatment. But the chron
ic form, caused by many differ
ent organisms, is often not recog
nized because few noticeable
symptoms develop.
Damage to the secretory tissue
occurs, however, and changes
take place more or less gradually
in the udder, depending upon the
virulence of the infection. Even
tually the cow becomes useless,
but long before that milk drops
in production and quality, and
the cow becomes an economic li

The question is frequently ask
ed, "What do we mean when we
speak of soil pH?" Simply stated,
it refers to the relative acidity,
sourness, or alkalinity, sweetness,
of the soil. The pH of the soil
affects the growth of all plants,
and this is the reason Jlme is
needed for some and not for
others. If we apply a set of values
to the pH range, from 4 to 10,
we can state the ranges as follows:
4 to 5.5, strongly acid; 5.5 to 6.5,
slightly acid; 6.5 to 7.5 neutral;
and above 7.5 alkaline.
It is common knowledge that
the azalea and the camellia re
quire acid soils with the azalea
being more tolerant of acid con
ditions than the camellia. Apply
ing the scale already given, the
azalea would fall in the range
between 4.8 and 5.7 and the
camellia between 5 and 6. This is
getting a little technical, but it
illustrates my point.
Since the ranges are not signifl
cantly different, both plans are
usually grown in the same 'general
area. On the other side of the
picture we find that legumes, such
as alfalfa and sweet clover, re
quire a pH range of from 6.5 to
7.5. Spinach, often used as a test
plant. 6.3 to 7.3; gardenia, the
same as camellia; cabbage, 6 to 7;
tomato. 5.3 to 6.3; Irish potato
5 to 5.7; sweet corn, 6.5 to 6.7

A herd known to be Infected |
with mastitis or other diseases
should be treated promptly by a
veterinarian, says Mr. Blalock.
Sanitary management practices
are essential for preventing and
controlling disease. These include
clean, dry bedding; control of
flies, rats and other disease car
riers. Milking machines should be
, disinfected carefully, kept in good
unning order and used accord
ng to manufacturers' instruc
;ions to avoid injuries to the ud

County agents and N. C. State
College specialists can help a
dairy farmer cut losses from dis
ease by closing gaps in his sanita
tion practices and improving his
herd management program. Thest
steps are outlined in Extension

Jaunty Lamb Kabobs
Give a lift to your first fall meals . . . serve broiled lamb
kabobs. Meaty lamb chunks are alternated on the metal skewers
with mushroom caps. To prepare, simply broil at ) moderate
temperature and serve with French-fried potatoes.
If menu monotony Is plaguing
your home, your worries are
over. Lamb and Mushroom Ka
bobs will turn the head of the
most discriminating gourmet for
a second glance.
This meal will undoubtedly be
the talk of the household.
Variations of kabobs are al
most as many in number as
there are homemakers.
Reba Staggs, meat expert, sug
gests that the cooking method
can help to vary kabob cookery
as well as the ingredients. In
this case, the kabobs may be
broiled or braised!
To prepare this unusual meat
treat, first procure metal skew
ers 6 to 8 inches long. Allow
1 Irabob per person . . . Dad and
the other men of the family
might enjoy 2 or more.
Then purchase boneless lamb
shoulder cubes and fresh mush
rooms or canned mushroom caps.
If buying the fresh mushrooms,
use just the mushroom cap. Then
thread each skewer with a lamb
cube, a mushroom cap, then a
lamb cube, etc. until the skewer
is filled.
To broil, place the kabobs
about 2 inches from the heat.
Brush the mushrooms with
melted butter or margarine and
broil at ? moderate temperature
for 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
To braise, brown the kabobs
slowly on all sides, add Vi to H
cup of liquid, either water, to
mato Juice or a fruit Juice, cover
the pan and simmer slowly for
45 minutes.
There's No ?
Button For
Thinking!
RALEIGH? "The 1951 cars are J
really automatic. They have every
thing from push button windows
to push button shifting. But there
still isn't a button tq push that
will do' your be hind-the- wheel I
thinking for you."
That was Joe W. Garrett's slate- '
ment. made to familiarise Tar
Heel motorists with a "know your
traffic laws" program conducted
by the State Motor Vehicles De- '
partment. Mr. Garrett is assistant
commissioner of the vehicles '
agency.
"Every driver has to accept his
responsibility for traffic safety,"
Mr. Garret^ said. "He has to know
all the traffic rules and regu
lations and follow them to the let
ter."
Some law abiding motorists will
treat traffic laws casually and
even ignore them when It becomes
inconvenient to comply. Too many
drivers leave their morality and
common sense behind when they
get behind the wheel of their car,
he said.
"Traffic laws simply cannot be
treated lightly," Mr. Garrett ex
plained. "The attitude that it's
'okay if I can get away with It'
causes many accidents. Every
iriver must be on the aid* at tew
tanuce if we want to cut down
>n North Carolina's shnfttw
loath and Injury toll.
He said the only solution to the
>roblem to voluntary onmphancc
>y drivers and pedestrians.
The vehicles executive offered
.he following rules for safe, and
legal, driving:
Know and obey all the traffic
iaw?.
Drive at a speed that la safe
tor conditions.
Never drive after drinking, and
iont drink if you Intend to drive.
When entering an Intersection,
be prepared to yield the right of
way if necessary to avoid
cident.
Never pass on a hill or
Dr at an intersection.
Don't hog the road ? stay i a
your lane.
Don't follow too closely. Allow
plenty of room to stop.
Read and heed traffic stgna
and signals.
Check your car for safety. Keep
it in first class condition.
Mr. Garrett urged every Tar
Heel citizen to be his own police
man by obeying' traffic laws volun
tarily. By doing so, he said. 1958
will become the decisive year far
traffic safety.
