Although many other pictures have appeared since that day, none tells more clearly than the above the enthusiasm with which the Belgians welcomed $0 first appearance of British troops to combat the second Ger man invasion of their country in a quarter of a century. This picture was among the very first radioed eu that historic day. Red Clover Is Adapted Better To Eastern Section Raleigh, May 30—An old-time forage crop, red clover, may soon find' favor with Eastern North Carolina farmers, says E. C. Blair, agronctnist of the N. C. State College Extension Service. Although a standard crop in the mountain counties, red clover was thought to he unadapted to the part cf the State east of Raleigh. However, J. B. Patrick of Beaufort County has exploded that belief. In the fall of 1938, Mr. Patrick prepared a Seed bed on one acre of good land and applied lime andi fertillizer according to the directions cf Farm Agent W. 1.. McGahey. Then he sowed a mix ture of red clover and oats. This mixture produced a good crop of hay in June, 1939.

BY COCA-COLA BOTTLING f OBIS iiOwi M mih Cmjfi though that was the last of the' oats, the red clover lived on and, made another crop in August. Blair said Mr. Patrick allowed f this crop to ripen seed before he, harvested it. Before feeding the hay to lvestock, he used a pitch fork to beat out the seed. Through this method, he obtain ed enough seed to sow eight acres in the fall of last year. Meanwhile, the original acre of red clover lived on, and in March of this year it was topdressed with stable manure. During the middle of May, Mr. Patrick cut two tons cif excellent hay from this acre. Since removing the hay, he has topdressed the field again, this time using hog lot! manure. He expects to get more ■ cuttings of hay from the field ■ this year. > “According to this experience,'’! Blair stated ,“red clover can be| made a good sideline hay and grazing crop in Eastern North l| Carolina. It requires a fertile soil, - which must also be fairly heavy PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. North Carolina Joins Nation For i Dairy Promotion j Raleigh, May 30. North Caro lina will join hands with ether states in June to observe Nation, al Dairy Month, says Jlchn A. Arey, extension dairyman of N. C. State College. Twenty Ideal committees have been named to promote the con sumption of milk in their respec tive sections. These committees will work with hotels, cases, drug I stores, and leading food distribut -1 ing agencies to bring milk and j other dairy products to the pub . lie’s attention. , “North Carolina could well as- I i but well-drained. Lime in most and always liberal applica tions of phosphate and potash . are required.’’ ferd to take an active part in Na tional Dairy Month,” Arey said, “sirre it ranks far di:wn the list in the per capita consumption of I milk. At the present time, the j aver-age Tar Heel drinks only I four-tenths cf a pint of milk daily. Along with this js a corre spondingly low consumption of butter and cheese.” I Governor Clyde R. Heey and. ; a number cf North Carolina may-1 | ers have already placed their full ' ■ endorsement on the purposes and : aims of National Dairy Month. The 1939 farm value of dairy production in this State, includ ing these products consumed on tie farm, was $32,000,000. Arey pointed out that if the consum ption cf milk were increased , from the present available sup- j pllv of 403 prund.-, in which are included alll dairy products, to 800 pounds, the national average, the present income from this source to North Carolina farmers would be doubled. The State College specialist said that nutritionists recommend at least a pint of milk a day for adults and a quart daily fer grow ing children. Milk is needed by the young to promote growth and to build resistance to disease. Adults need milk to rebuild worn-out tissue and to maintain j a high resistance to disease. c Britain has moved less than' • one million pounds cf the 173 million pounds of flue-cured to bacco bcught for her and held , under the purchase and loan ar rangement for the British trade. - to check Ik I r k IN 7DAYS Y^/666 [Sw MOBS ? lamß ■>■■'■: ■ ■; it. i, ,-, Ba .A M Jgjj^ " | M m ■ '" jy found Only on Chevrolet and on Higher-Priced Con I NO OTHER CAR, NO OTHER CAR, ■ I "OMOiiss Os "OM"*a of m ttirc rnu ..... r .
