To Our Good Health Two-and-a-half millers of milk, less than half a tearupful, may assumes place in historian ith the anonymous Dmh boy’s linger-in-thc-dykc, the spider whose web hid Rober Brute, the cackling of the geese that saved Rome and'the pebble with ■which David slew Goliath. The potentially heroic aspect of a half a tup ol milk is suggested in the message of Agriculture Secretary Benson to the; recent convention of the Milk Industry fmmdatioh in which he said, ", . . in reality, there is no mill; xurldus in the -United States.

This means th.at a small per capita increase in milk . consumption — onlv iwO-and-a hall. oVmccs per person a day — would wipe out the so-called surplus Considering that per rapine consumption of milk and dairy products is but a little'over fourteen ounces (less than A pint), this would not be nearly enough to bring us up to nutritional par. Nutritionists are agreed that a quart a day pros ides the needs ol the body. In his staten.icn'f7 Mr. Broc k pledged the milk dealers of America,to a six point campaign for too percent consump tion of all the milk produced. This will include increased cooperation with a hi- school milk program; increased me ol dispensing: machinery and vending machines: research on new* milk products, such as strawberry-flavored mi}k which is flow 1dn the market and other fruit-flowered milks now - • under study; closer cooperation with.dairy farmers who de sire-assistant e in timing costs ol .production, storage and transportation: and finally. fiueluilH'tt efforts tohclduceidaitylij plafit costs, looking toward The 'day1 lit tornfiletx? . su(t<ni|$ticM!r— It wliiehMr. lb oc k sav s "is not too 'I'ar'distant”. ; I his program.,file' bebsvr.s. will allow^uy!|o buv mO|i{ I mine Tor an bout VTake-fVume Where thirty veins ago. lie points out. it bought three-and a-half quarts, it buys seven today , thus cutting, in half the real pi it e. ft is designed to give dairy fanners more cash money, since they get”a better price for "drinking" milk than lor butter or, c heese milk, and i to give the‘dairy industry a more stable economy.

That’s why some soothsayers are predicting a Nellie-bar-the door battle during the first five or six months of 1956. It’s just around the corner. • COMMERCE RECQMMENDA TIGBIS • . . In last Thursday, Rodly Mount Chamber of Com Om^rce Mu ha get Graham Dozier"' and other representatives of the N. C. Chamber of Commerce Executives Association, visited the Governor, the N. C. Citizens Assn., and two -or three other offices here to feel out sentiment regarding a State Chamber of Commerce. , The report ''of "their findings may not be available for some time yet, but they Came awav ^from the Raleigh meetings with advice that the services which a State Chamber of Commerce would perform are already be ing rendered by several agen cies and organizations already in existence and doing a pretty good jotj. • Chief result of their visits here could be a recommendation to the .Governor. ‘ to the 1957 Leg-, - isktuSre. ot „to„-both,-that the N. C. Dept, of Conservation and Development be strengthened and ' perhaps1 be. divorce'^ VS some way from politics .... or changes brought on by politics. That's a hard—if not impossi ble — dose to swallow. But the chamber of commerce executives are sincere in their efforts. They feel that a good job is being done by the* Dept: of,Conservation and ..Development*' but concensus, seemed to be that it needs stream lining and ihore independence. Those on the Raleigh visit were Dozier, Glenn Taylor oi Al bemarle, and James Glenn Of Charlotte. HAYFEVER ... -A lot has been written in this column in the past few years regarding hay fever. Our readers will remember that I have in various seasons in the past tried everything from pills to nose filters in an effort to alleviate the suffering caused by .ragweijdL and other pollen. Suffering, Which only those who are 'allergic <^n aoWecute. This year I heard two$MMr methods. One is an electronic filter which ”wett'-Vhown' WfrforTppffinfr cofnpanies. artd according to tests will eliminate over 90ri of the. duft ahd pollen if properly a pe rked in any room, I cannot re port on the effectiveness of this rather new development, since this year I took a series of shots and had the most enjoyable sea? son I have experienced in over 15 years.. Fall is one of the most beauti ful seasons, but this has been the first time I have been able to enjoy it without coughing, sneez ing, and eyerubbing. Some say the ragweed pollen was not as prevalent this year as it usually has been, all I know is I have, suffered only little and must at tribute it to the shots administer ed by Dr. F. P.

DELAYING EGG PRODUCTION Last summer several local poul trymen had an outbreak of Black head in their pullet flocks. This ‘disease has long been associated wilth turkev prodouctipn, ubt its appearance m poultry'- ftpeks has been a relatively new thing: Treatment for this disease in tur keys have been a drug called Errhepftn. This drug was tried as treatment on poultry floocks and - apparently reduced the mortality in- the flocks. The after effects of the treatment, however, has not been goood Many of the birds are now. 7 and 8 months old and should be at the peak of produc tion, and in several instances of this type- they are barely coming int olay. Considerable research needs to be done on-this matter. BREEDING TIME November is an excellent month to breed sou* and gilts for spring farroowing.
