Coffee At
$1.50 A Pound
A major coffee roaster recently pre
dicted that the day was not far off
when housewives will be paying $1.60
for a pound of coffee. This prediction
came after a new increase was an
nounced by several major coffee pro
ducers, the increase ranging from five
to six cents a pound.
That increase pushed coffee prices
well over the (1-mark and the price
of some brands rose to just under
S1.20.
The new increase indicates that thel
investitration by a Senate Banking'
sub-committee has done little to check
the steady rise in coffee prices, and
that the consumer is going to continue
to feel the pinch of higher pnces,
Testimony in the subcommittee has in
dicated that coffee consumption in
general has already decreased as the
remit of hisrher nrices. ;
If prices of coffee continue to go
up. no doubt consumption will con
tinue to go down. At some point along
the line, the market will be stabilized
and nrices will halt their advance.
Evidently, there are not enough cof
fee drinkers who prefer to curtail con
sumption rather than pay higher pri
ces, and, as long as this is the case,
coffee prices will probably continue to
rise.
and perhaps one of the greatest of all
time. i -
The birthday anniversary of James
Monroe, the man who gave this hemis
phere the Monroe Doctrine, also falls
in April. Monroe took part in the
Revolutionary War, was later elected
to the Virginia Legislature,, and then
to Congress. He was elected to the
U. 8. Senate in 1790 and opposed the
administration of President George
Washington. Nevertheless Washinir-
ton appointed him minister to France
in 1794.
Thomas Jefferson, who had become
President by 1801, sent him to France
and with Robert Livingston he ne
gotiated the Louisiana Purchase. Re
turning to the United States, he was
elected Governor of Virginia, resign
ed that position to become Secretary
oi state in the cabinet of President
Madison, and succeeded Madison as
President in 1817. He was reelected
to a second term without serious op
position, receiving every electoral vote
but one.
There are many other famous birth
day anniversaries in April, such as
that of John J. Aububon, the famous
naturalist, who was born at Mande-
ville, Louisiana, in 1780. . The month is
also . the birthday anniversarv of
James Buchanan, the fifteenth Presi
dent of the United States, who was
born at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.
A much misunderstood man, Bu
chanan is finally getting recognition
he deserves, xnougn his position on
secession was unpopular, many consti
tutional lawyers today maintain it
was completely sound. Buchanan up
held the right of opponents of slavery
to petition for its abolition. However,
he also believed Congress had no con
trol over slavery policies in the states.
to 144 ; million, pounds. This amount
sets another record for the month of
March. Production during March of
1953 was placed at 130 million pounds
and at 122 million during March of
Average monthly production
per cow in North Carolina herds was
estimated at 368 pounds or 3 per cent
above the average production rate of
342 pounds during March of 1953.

NATO U.S.
Ace In Hole
The fifth anniversary of the found
ing of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization occurred early this month.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
took occasion to comment on the unity
of the free nations represented in
NATO.
This was not merely a perfunctory
recognition. In the discussion and
planning for the European Defense
Community, which has filled the head
lines recently, some forget that the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization is
the United States' ace in the hole in
its battle against Communism in Eur
ope.' '
This was clearly evident when Rus
sia recently suggested that she would
consider joining the organization.
NATO is still a solid alliance against
Russian attack and includes more na
tions than the European Defense Com
munity will ever include. Even though
" more publicity is currently being giv
en EDC proposals, NATO remains the
cornerstone of the United States poli
cy in Europe and the Middle East It
includes such nations as Greece and
Turkey, and stretches all the way to
the Arctic, since Norway is also a
.member.
General Alfred M. Gruenther, the
President's Chief of Staff for many
years, is the international commander
of NATO. As his command is a con
siderable array of armed forces, in
cluding thousands of aircraft, many of
which are jet models. It is this defen
sive arrangement which is the ma
jor achievement of U. S. foreign poli
cy in the last five or six years.
Whether or not EDC is consummated
(and we believe Europe's best interests
will be served if the EDC Treaty is
ratified by, the six nations involved).
NATO remains a bulwark against
Communist aggression, and an alliance
between the United States and thir-
teen allies who are pledged to fight if
any one or the treaty-countries is In
vaded. This, and not EDC, is the
foundation-stone of U. S. policy in
Jfiurope and the Middle East
State Accepts Four

Famous Men
And April
April, like February, is the month in
which, birthdays and anniversaries of
great men and historic events fall in
great numbers. This is the month in
which the United States entered
World War I and the month in which
the British burned both the Capitol
and tr)e White House, back m 1814.
The towering, figure among those
who have birthday anniversaries in
April is that, of , Thomas' Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson was elected Presi
dent of the United States in 1800 and
remained in office for eight years. His
ideas, hid Inventions and his words on
philosophy, are all eagerly studied to
day and there is a good iifuntent inr
lavor of the view that Jefferson was!

It Takes Care To Raise
Pullets In Confinement
Every poultryman wants strong,
vigorous, healthy birds to place in the
laying house this autumn. He knows
next year's profit is directly related
to the condition of his birds when
they begin to lay. But what if a range
is not available? Can the birds be
raised in confinement?
R. S. Dears tyne. head of the depart-'
ment of poultry science, N. C. State 1
("!aI1ao- nn Vaa T J- '
0F vo A, UU1 MJ UUlWf
if great care is exercised." Dears tyne
says that poultrymen must realize
that during the three months or so
from brooding to laying "a very sub
stantial growth should occur in the
birds." '
Points of special importance in am.
finement rearing include sanitation, a
large amount of feeding, watering and
uoor space, and especially important,
an abundance of fresh air. . Thla im
plies "very careful management,", says
vearstyne. as Uie birds begin to ma
ture, the feeding and watering space
needs to expand, just as does the floor
space requirement Three square feet
of floor space per bird is not too much
for confinement rearing.'
wnen ample, clean range with a
good grazing crop is available, it
should be used. However, if thia fa
not exist confinement rearintr fu,
uccessiuuy , done tt the poultryman
"i""y pay attention to the detail
of the job.
