ARDEN TIME M.G. State College ± “One of the best ways for Nor th Carolina farm families to make up for Income, lost through age cuts and other causes, is to grow most of the food they eatj” so say Governor Hodges and his Advisory Commmittee. “North Carolina farmers spend approximately $275 million a year for food and could save an esti- 1 . mated $lB3 million by producing two-thirds if their food on the farms. Figures foi't> 1954 indicate that 14 per cent of North Caro lina farms grew no vegetables, 24 per cent had no chickens, 31 per cent had no swine, 50 per cent had no nillft cows and 42 per cent hatl no cattle for beef.” "To buy all of the food neces sary to eat well for one year would cost about $366 per person. This amounts to $1,831.25 per year for a family of five, which is equivalent to the gross income from about two acres of tobacco, 12 acres of cotton, 12 acres of peanuts or six mlik cows. Statis tics show that at least ohe person out of every five in North Caro lina does not eat daily the food needed for best" health. Foods most lacking are milk, fruits and vegetables.” Is connection with foods that can be produced on the farm, our Extension Specialists have re cords to show' that, for a family of five, the net income from a one-half acre vegetable garden is $406.40. If you grow tree fruits, pecans, small fruits, grapes and figs, the figure would be consider ably larger. Ts this a challenge? I have departed a little from the usual today but here are oth er interesting statistics. Some 40 per cent of the foods w'e eat come from fruits and vegetables, either fresh, canned or frozen. In 1956. the baby ...food. industry processed 106,600,000 dozens of packages of baby foods. In that year 4 mill • ion babies were born. In 1970, 8 million are expected. This is a small but healthy and well-fed per cent of our population. These are challenging times and will test the mettle of every re sponsible citizen in. North Caro lina. Don't lie afraid of changes because they are coming whether We like it or not. We will solve our problems' only to-..-the....extent that each of us is willing to make our contribution .n the home, on You’ll never know how good n mmm mmm sm can be t - \ : . ,- ~/3» V . •.'■■"• "4MI . * ... >; %«J| ■ n iwifv® V J ■ -- *y« f* j ■1»1 *■/ distinctive flavor-and rich, rich nroma • the world’s choicest coftees .. . give a hearty goodness in cup after cup!

Jan zen, director of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. The proposal, which has the ap proval of the Bureau of Budget, would add one dollar to the cost of the stamps, bringing them to $3. Nearly all of the proceeds from the sale of the stamps would be ear marked for an aceleratefl water fowL refuge purchase program. Only deduction that would be made is the Post Office charges for print ing and distributing the stamps, es timated at $144,000 annually. The new fee would make about $6,606,- 000 available for land purchase, four times the amount budgeted for the coming fiscal year,"” The U..S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice believes an additional 4 mil lion acres of wetlands is heeded to rtsund out the Federal waterfowl noldings at 7li million acres, the minimum necessary to assure the preservation of ducks and geese. Under the proposed new program, it would still take an estimated 25 years to achieve the 7 million acre goal. • • / • * • The game warden, like the Mount •e, usually gets his man. In Califor nia, Warden Floyd Loots found J parts of a 20-year old newspaper | stuck to ,a discarded deer hide. Stamped on the bloodstained scrap vas a post office box address. Warden Loots traced down the lubseriber, who was not the man. 3oots then checked on the occu >ants of the house where the sub icriber had lived in 1937. One of hem admitted illegally taking wo female deer . . . was fined >9OO and jailed in lieu of- payment Attention Fiehexmen' ~r Since fishing season ,is almost here, It would b e .wellto note that there is an exception to the rule allowing night fishing. The lakes and 'streams on the Blue Ridge Ptrkway are open to fishing only from sunrise to sunset. Two other ■" Park Service rules which fisher men are often not awar e of are as follows: (1) Only one fishing pole to a fisherman, ,and (2) no fish alive or dead may be used as bait while fishing in the lakes. For those of you who would j rather fish in a lake, the Trout Lake in the Moses H. Cone Mem orial Park has been well stocked again this year with 2500 •—d” tp 14“ Rainbows. This lake, which is on tbe~l3lue Ridge Parkway, is located near Blowing Rock and is maintained by the Park Service for your pleasure. Good fishing! Easter Seal Sales Support Camps For Crippled Children Every effort i a being made? by the North Carolina Society '“for Crippled Children and Adults ~to give every citizen of the state an opportunity to aid the physically handicapped. Easter Seals have been sent to the people as a re minder that by contributing to the fund drive, the tru e meaning of Easter can better be known. Let the handicapped live again. The Easter Seal Society main tains two summer camps for crip pled children, one for white and one for Negro crippled children. A camping experience will again be provided for crippled adults. The camp for white crippled child ren and the adult camp is held at Camp South Toe River near Bur nsville. The Negro camp is held at Swaqsboro at at the sea. About 200 childreri attended the camps last year.
