Dairying And Dairy Products To
Get Spotlight During This Month
Down through the ages most
people have associated the month
of .June with romance and mar
riage. Since 1938, hwever, many people
have also come to associate it with
June Dairy Month for each year
since then dairy people and people
in related industries have joined
to tell everyone about this tremen
dous dairy industry of ours. It has
food promotion event of the entire
year.
This wee feel is fitting because
dairying is the largest single farm
enterprise in the United States,
accounting, for Just under 20 per
cent of the, total farm income. '
Dairying v Is a big business and
one that' has, made tremendous
stride Ja the past few yean. For
example,, think of the improve

12 Reasons Why I Am
By: Mrs. Lather W. Register
Rockfish H. D. Club
I am a member of the home
demonstration club because the
home demonstration club was or
ganized to assist rural women. It
promotes higher standards of liv
ing in the home and in the com
munity. I live in the Rockfish
Community of Duplin County
and am a rural person myself.
In meeting together and co
operating in the various activities
of the club work, we learn to
know and love our neighbors bet
ter. Club activities promote a
more helpful, friendly and kindly
spirit in the community. We re
ceive much information we would
not get otherwise.
Demonstrations given by the
home demonstration agent in the
club meetings teach us how to
make our homes more beautiful,
with properly planned home gro
unds, making driveways more
conveniently located, lawns cov
ered with grass, shrubbery and
flowers properly set to accent
the beauty of our homes, gives
pleasure to us as well as the passer-by.
We learn how to make the in
terior of our homes more live
able by refinishing floors and
lovely old furniture, painting,
adding closet space where need
ed, sufficient cabinet space in
our kitchens, with good arrange
ment for " saving steps. Lights
and water are a must in a modern
farm kitchen.
We learn of the relation of
food to health, how to supply
our family with a varied and ade
quate diet by canning, preserv
ing, and drying an ample food
supply, by a recommended food
budget.
Clothing is an interesting stu
dy. We learn how to best select
clothing for persons with deffer
ent figure types.
To develop initiative and ima
gination that will enable us to
use what we have to the best
advantage, how tomake over old
clothing in the latest style, hats
and other things in like manner.

Carolina Telephone Send New Phone
Directories; 11,200 Books Go Out 4
Approximately 11,200 new tele
phone directories will be In the
bands of subscribers in this araa
within the next several days, C. G.
Fields, Carolina Telephone and
Telegraph Company Manager said
today. The books are being mailed
to telephone users In Kinston, La
Grange, Pink Hill, (Moss Hill, and
Grlfton. m
The number of books issued
this year will exceed last year's
figure by almost 500, which not
only indicates the increase of
telephone users in the area but
emphasizes the general growth of
the area as well At the end of
April, 1958, Fields stated, there
were 10,697 telephones in the ex
busy enjoying Its wonderful flavor
to give a thought to whether of sit
not it was safe. This kind of sit
uation didn't just happen. A lot
of hard work and expensive chan
ges 'have been made by our dairy
Industry to make this possible.
The average dairy farmer in
North Carolina has today approxi
mately $40,000 invested in his op
eration In' order to bring you this
safe, wholesome supply of milk
and dairy products. Much of the
milk you drink never touches
human hand or i exposed to the
air from the time it leaves the
cow until It 1 delivered safe and
fresh to your doorsteps. ' .
; Thfar bas been made possible
through the installation of either
stainless steel or pyrex glass pipe
lines that take the milk .directly
from the cow Into a stainless steel
refrigerated container where it is
almost instantly cooled to preserve
the fresh wholesome flavor.. Prom
this stainless steel refrigersted
tank est the farm W pwaped into
for $65,023.49. .
Operation, equipment and main
tenance of Duplin General Hos
pital will be $34,000.00 For old age
assistance, $188,180.00 has been set
aside.
According to McGowen , the
Duplin County property valuation
is $51,000,000.

us, we forget our worries in a
good laugh over some game or
song during the recreation per
iod. It is said that a good laugh
often does more goo d than medi
cine. We learn parliamentary proce
dure and how to put it into prac
tice which helps us in other or
ganizations of our community as
well as in the club.
Farm and Home Week, which
is held at State College each year
is a wonderful vacation for farm
women. The demonstrations on
various subjects are instructive,
interesting, and educational. The
tours we take to see many places
of interest are interesting and en
joyable. At the close of each of the
monthly meetings the hostess ser
ves refreshments, which teach
us how to become a better and a
more gracious hostess.
At our meetnig in August we
have a picnic, to the lake or
beach, or plan a program where
by each club member is respon
sible for some type of recreation.
Tobacco Plant
Beds Should
Be Destroyed
Tobacco farmers should prom
ptly destroy plant beds. Some of
our most destructive insects such
as flea beetles, aphids and vege
table weevils breed in, tobacco
plant beds. These insects move
out onto field plants. Destruction
of this breeding ground will re
duce the number of these insects
that the farmer has to fight in
the field. 1
Aphids and Vegetable Weevils
larvae can be eliminated from
the flea beetle since this insect
cides but it is not so simple with
thefle a beetle since this insect
breeds in the soil. A thorough job
of plowing and harrowing the
soil will kill the flea beetle in
the soil. '
changes named above. By the end1
of April, 1959 the total bad risen to
11,159 for a net increase of 463
telephones.
The Kinston exchange, with
gain of 207 telephones, was respon
sible for most of this growth.

The slogan for this year's cele
bration Is "June's Best Meal Ideas
Begin -with Dairy Foods," and this

speaking they are cheaper today
than ever before. For example. In
1940 it took an everage wage earn
er in North Carolina 20 minutes to
earn enough to pay for a quart of
milk. This same worker today
needs less than " minutes to buy
not the same quart of milk but
one that is actually better nutri
tionally as well as tasting better.
This has been made possible
through tremendous improvements
in efficiency by our dairy farmer,
and processors sad fortunately tor ,v
you as a consumer most of the
savings that - have bees realised : ,
have bee passed on te you. So
during June consume lots ef saUk
and dairy products for remember
