Cabbage, Tomato Do I Really Need To n: t-.j Eat Breakfast? rules iiiauequcuc This Season The net prices received for tomatoes and cabbage by the growers is not covering the cost of production harvesting this season. Grower income from U. S. , Number 1 tomatoes has fallen to At a pound and income to cab bage producers is down to 1-1 2( a pound for U. S. Number 1 grade. Yields have been very good this year in both tomatoes and cabbage in western North Carolina. This has been true throughout the other areas of the country producing these com modities. Production of trellis tomatoes has shown marked growth in western N. C. during the past decade. And cabbage has in creased over the past several years with substantial upswings in the northwestern part of the state. A major factor in this in creased production is that prior to this Season, the farmer has earned a reasonable profit for these crops. North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Graham has expressed concern for the situation. "If the vegetable farmers are to continue to produce a high quality volume of these commodities, they must receive a reasonable profit for their efforts. "I am appealing to produce buyers and merchandisers, both in and out of state, to feature North Carolina tomatoes and cabbage in promotional programs and through retail outlets. "This is an excellent time to promote cabbage," Graham continued, "because of the in creasing cost of lettuce. "Presently, I am contacting our major buyers across the country to urge their assistance in moving tomatoes and cabbage in order to assist the farmer in gaining the profit he needs and deserves. "I'm certain, too, that the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association will lend their support to this endeavor,". Graham said. Do I really need to eat Break fast? There is only one scien tifically sound answer to this query, states today Mrs. M. B. Taylor, Home Economics Ex tension Agent. The answer is "Yes". Your own common sense supplies the same answer. Even though your body has a reserve of energy to be called on in an emergency, there is no point in pressing the panic button every morning. Studies show that skipping breakfast impairs your health, upsets your disposition and lowers your vitality. Without breakfast, it is unlikely that you will get all the essential nutrients you need every day, or that you will be able to attain and maintain desirable weight. In an effort to lessen mid- or late-morning fatigue, breakfast skippers frequently indulge in snacks which are high in calories but low in protein, vitamins and minerals. Then not being really hungry at lunchtlme, mid- or late-dinner table fatigued and irritable. In the morning a few extra minutes' sleep may seem more important than breakfast, so the pattern repeats itself day after day. Is it any wonder that breakfast-skippers are frequently tired, that the pounds creep on and that they are more often cross than pleasant? For further information contact Mrs. M. B. Taylor, Home Economics Extension Agent, Post Office Box 234, Hertford, North Carolina 27944 or call 426- 7697. Guest and members of the Winslow family gathered on the lawn of Mr. Thomas R.

The Perquimans County Weekly, Hertford, N. C, Thursday, September 3, 1970 - Page 3 Gold Kist Farmers To Receive Refund The E. Y Floyd Scholarship Fund has been established to aid needy students at North Carolina State University and to honor the farm leader who was educated there half a century ago. Rudolph Pate, director of NCSU Foundations and Development and J. C. Powell of Tarboro, president of the N. C. Agricultural Foundation, an nounced a statewide campaign will be launched to raise $50,000 for the fund. Floyd, a native of Granville County, died Aug. 15 in Raleigh at the age of 72. In announcing the E. Y. Floyd Scholarship Fund, Pate noted: "We are honoring a man who was in the forefront of agricultural progress in North Carolina. Pate recalled that Floyd, although hampered by declining health, participated in election night activities at NCSU last Nov. 25 when votes were counted in the seventh of the successful statewide Nickels for Know How referendums. "He was keenly aware of the importance of that vote to this University, and even more of its importance to the economy and the life of North Carolina," Pate observed. As a result of the Nickels program, which Floyd helped organize, almost $3 million have been pumped into agricultural teaching, research and extension work at North Carolina State University since 1951. Buyers assess themselves a nickel on every ton of feed and fertilizer for the educational program. "It is appropriate," Pate continued, "to set up a scholarship which will continue through the lives of young men and women the work to which E. Y. Floyd devoted his life." Floyd was managing director of the Plant Food Institute of North Carolina for 26 years before retiring last fall. After graduating from N. C. State, he worked as an extension tobacco specialist for 11 years and as state director of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration for 10 years.
