SHOWING POOR IN DAIRY PRODUCTS ly Jolin raul Lucas Raleigh, April 12. The value of: dairy products produced in the en- i tire country during 1920 was cltwe to j $1,500,000,000, just 100 times the value of dairy products produced in: North Carolina. This toil al in neither i case includes milk consumed on farms, but it does include all butter and cheese made and consumed on farms. North Carolina imiwrted last year dairy products of a value equalling the value of the products of the dairy Industry in the State for the same year. But even at that, tens of thousands of North Carolina farm families to say nothing of families in towns, did not consume any whole milk and used very little butter, cheese and condensed milk. "You cannot grow a man without milk," strikingly declared Dr. W. S. Rankin, head of the State Board of HeaJth, a few days ago. "From the standpoint of health, I would not wish for anything better than that each family in North Carolina should have one or more milk cows." Health experts are agreed that the minimum requirements for the maintenance of health Is one quart oF milk per day for children under 18 years of age, and one pint per day for adults. The miik that is now be ing produced in North Carolina is Just about sufficient, if it were even ly distributed and ail used as whole milk, to supply the minimum re quirements for the children. In or- der to supply in addition the mini mum requirements for adults nearly 70,000.000 gallons per year would 'have to be produced. In order to supply the minim urn requirements and at the same time to produce the same proportionate amount of butter, it would be neces - sary for the farmers in Xorth Caro lina to practicality double the num ber ot their milk cows. Inasmuch as in ramilies which have appreciat ed the value of milk as a food pro duct theinsumption is two or three times the minimum require ments it may readily be seen that to put North Carolina on a really ade- quote seit-supporting nasis in me matter of dairy products, it would he necessary to treibie or possibly to quadruple the number of milk cows.

G. Brlckhouse, of Colum bia, while 'in the city Wednesday. Mr. Briekhouse is a prominent Tyr- rell County farmer, and he offers a , plan whereby this better transporta-i tion may be secured. "It Is twelve miles," says Mr. Hriekhouse, "from the Tyrrell County, .shore of Albemarle Sound to the; Pdsquotank shore at the mouth ol ; Ijittle River.

"As the situation stands at pres ent, we must spend four hours or more on the trip if we go from Co lumbia or other Tyrrell County points by boat to your city morei than .twice as long as it would takei us. if the suggested road werei built. It takes us even longer to come by railroad.
