Activities Phoned For
June Dairy Month Here
Appointment of Mr. Jack
Young m June Dairy Month
Chairman for Yancey County
has been announced by Morris
L. McGough of Asheville, Wes
tern North Carolina Chairman.
“Dairying hae become a
$100,000,000 industry for North
Carolina families,’' states Mr.
Young. “Thj* is reason enough
for observing June Dairy Month.
But more important is the fact
that we are drinking far too
little milk in our state, only a
little over half of what we
should. During June, we hope
to get more people in Yancey
County to saying “Make It

habit we can’t go wrong on.”
Mr. Young states that the
purpose of this program is to
acquaint the public with the
nutritional facts about milk. He
states thaf'the American home
maker spends 15% of her food
budget for dairy products, but
this actually buys 80 per cent of
her family’s nutritional needs.
On a nutritional basis, this

ment and soil conservation.
Bicolor, a shrub type of "les
pedeza, is a heavy,seed producer
which provides excellent fopd for'
quail. Due to its ability to grow
on shaded and eroded areas it
serves a three-folcl purpose in
furnishing food for quail, util
izing idle land such as field bord
ers and road banks, and aids in
controlling soil erosion in these
areas. ■;
Sericea i 3 a single stem type
of lespedeza and 1 is very deep ■
rooted. When seeded along a field ,
border or an eroded area it sta
bilizes the soil & that area. It
provides an excellent nesting
site for quail. Both the sericea
and bicolor lespedeza are peren
nial legumes and'need not be re
seeded once they|a#e established
Multiflora rose is an erect type
of rose, which;when properly ,

The Yancey County Soil Cofi- >

with the IN, C. Wildlife Resources
