Questions What can be done to
control Black Spot on rose bushes
Answer: The orgaoiim causing
this disease makes most of its devel
opment within the leaf and is there
fore out of reach of any spray ap
plied to the surface. It is ntvessary
therefore, that the leaves Ue coated
with a 4-4-f0 Bordeux mixture or
with a tine grade of dusting sulphur
at all times. This will kill the sports
before they infect the leaf. The first
application should be made when the
leaves open in the spring and subse
quent applications as often as nec
essary to keep the foliage well covered.

Dairy fainting, from a commercial
standpoint i.s u comparatively new
farm. 'enterprise in North Carolina.
Ti - i ti isms), there was only one
plant in the state to which the term
creamery could be applied. It is true
that prior to this date, there were a
numlter of retail dairies, most of
which poorly equipped, delivering milk
in our towns and cities -and quite' a
large quantity of n Untry butter made
on the farm.s. a goi.l portion of which
was collected by county stores and
shipped to renovating factories be
taiise of its low quality.
The first commercial butter plant
or namel y was erected in Gaston
county in the full of I'JOS). The open
ing of this plant developed an inter
tst among the farmers of that and ad
joining counties in keepig a few extra
cows to supply thi.s market with
i n am. This interest g. ow and dur
ing the following year three other
butter plants wen erected.- two in
CliU'land ami one in Catawba Since
then the number has grown to 2S. a
part of which arc combination milk
and butter plants. They are located
from Hrastown in the Western part
of the st itc to Washington in the
Past, making available a i ream mark

Mime of i. u' cities and the number of
fluid milk pi'-oiluror.s has greatly in
i ; e ,sr, (luring tic past (iflei ii years.
At pie.-erit there arc SO milk ilis
tiibutiiig plnti.s looated in the larger
towns and cities of this state. These
plants handled approximately 10.000.
000 gallons of milk last yea, which
was collected from 1.050 farms. In
addition to these l.Oot) wholtjlale
dairymen there were a'oout 1,000 "re
tail dairymen who delivered approx
imately 25,000.000 gallons of milk.
These dairymen delivered in every
town and city in the state. The total
value of the fluid milk delivered, last
year by both milk plants and pro.
ducer-d'istributors was $12,000 000.
The first North Carolina cheese
factory was erected in the fall of
PJ15. There are now five which man.
ttfactured last year one-half million
pounds of cheese. The milk supplied
to these factories came from 1.0000
farmers who received approximately
$i 50.000. for it.
Along with the milk plants came
ice cream manufacturing In fact,
most of the milk plants al-o manu
facture ice cream. l.a-t ye.r there
were o5 ic,. cream manufactuis lie
sides a number of drug stores and
cafes which make their own cream.
These plants made a market for ap
proximately 1,700.000 gallons of
w hole milk' valued at $255,00(1.
The total farm returns from cream
and milk marketed through creamer
ies, milk ..plants, chee-e factories, and
ice cream plant.- for lOX! was
705.00..' This is in addition to the
milk and its product consumed on the
farm which wa.-i valued at !?o,C:'.7,5C0.
The total value of milk cou.-umed and
sold in l'.l.'!;! wa.s !flS,0 12.500
Besides the progress made in the
nianiil'artiiring and marketing side of
the dairy industry in this slate- doz
ing the past 20 years marked prog:
ies.s ha.- been niade by the daiivinen
in producing milk ..more ellic-ienet Iv.
According to the: Federal Census iv
ports of I HI!) ami I !2!. tliv average
milk production for tli'i.- -late, pc..1'
cow, increased lu0.5 pounds each ye.r
during that ten year period. ln lcl'.t
accordinir to this report the 2SHI.22:;
milk cows in North Carolina pro
duced ;5.747,r;;s gallons of milk. In
li2;t, the number of cows had increas
ed to 2iit'iM ;7'!, but the volume of
milk increased U 1 i;i,;if2,505 gall
lon.s. In other words, although the
cow population of this state had de
creased 215() head from lSHS) to
H'20. the milk production was 24.-2-11.
Sti7 gallons greater m ISfJfi thau
in lilSb North Carolina dairymen
h eve effected this improvement by
U.-iiig in'tter bred dairy bulls, testing
then: cows and culling out the low
producers and by practicing improved
feeding 'methods. In 1!1!) only 21
per cent of the dairy bulls in use in
this state were purebreds. In 1!2S
55 per cent of them were purebreds.
In .several of the piedmont counties
where most of the commercial dairy
ing is carried on SO per cent of them
were purebred
Although the dairy, industry of
thi- state has made much progress
during the past twenty years there i
still plenty of room for improvemen.
W hat the future holds will depen i
upon the ability of our dairymen to
breed, feed and weed successfully.
