AREY SUGGESTS MORE
MILK FOR TAR HEELS
North Carolinians need
to drink about twice as
much sweet milk as is now
being produced in the State
to bring them up to the na
tional average of about 95
gallons per person.
Just how can this extra
milk be obtained? John
Arey, in charge of Exten
sion Dairying at State Col
lege. says that an extra
175,000 cows can do it but
at the same time he points
out that not enough good
roughage is being produced
to feed the livestock already
on the farms.
He explains that more
milk may be obtained thro
ugh better breeding of dairy
cows, better feeding prac
tices, improved farm man
agement, more feed crops,
and more cbws. Along with
this program, he suggests
that Tar Heels, can lean? to
drink more milk and make
a much wider use of it in
the daily diet.
At present it appears
that the biggest problem is
that of feed principally
good, high quality roughage
and grazing crops. With
long growing seasons here
.in North Carolina, State
[ College agronomists say
there is no valid reason for
not growing the supplemen
tal grazing crops, both
winter and summer, , and
putting in well fertilized
permanent pastures, seeded
with the right kind of le
gumes and grasses.

Veterans Insurance
The liberalized insurance
benefits which became av
ailable to veterans when
President Truman signed
the Congressional Act am
ending the National Ser
vice Life Insurance Act of
1940 were anticipated by
numerous e x-s ej* v iceman
and women in North Caro
lina who have recently re
instated policies they allow
ed to lapse when they left
the service.
Widespread reins tate
ments in North Carolina
w r ere attributed today by
Regional Insurance Officer
E. C. Bailey to expectation
on the part of veterans
that the law would b e
changed. Until January 1,
1947, he added, a veteran
may reinstate lapsed Na
tional Service Life Insur
ance simply by paying two
months back premiums and
signing a statement that
his health is as good as it
was when his premium w 7 as
due. After that date a phy
sical examination will be
necessary in most cases.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B.
Wray of Sanford, Fla. will
arrive this week for a visit
with relatives.
Mrs. Grace Banks and
son, Tracy,*spent the past
week end at Qteen, N. C.

The state board of con

explained its purpose in
closing the deer season in
Western North Carolina
yesterday, declaring that its
aim is to increase the num
ber of deer in this section.

deer on federal and state
preserves, and i s using
them to stock the forests
of Western North Carolina

those already in the forests,
( there will be no public or
private deer hunts in this
section this year. The ban
also includes the taking of
deer in state and national
game preserves, the office
of the division of game and
inland fisheries here ex
plained.
Farmers and property
owners in the western coun
ties have been called upon
to assist in this restocking
(program by furnishing pro
tection to the deer and by
helping enforce the closed
season this fall.
