L. OUTZ County Agent I attended the Southeastern Da iry Conference in Columbia last week. A great deal of time was given to the aspects of white bever ages. White beverages being used as substitutes for milk. These products are being accepted in Arizona and California by about KFc of the market. Scientist from LandGrantUni versities throughout the South east, along with milk distribu tors and marketing specialist and farmers, attended the meeting. These white beverages seem to want to ride the coat tail of the whole milk market. By doing so they steal a portion of the mar ket. It goes without question that milk is a near perfect food. In addition to containing all the nu trients essential to man. Dairy foods are also recognized for a high content of specific nutrients. For example: in 1967 dairy foods provided only 12^ of the nation’s calories, yet 76^ of the calcium, 44 c c of the riboflavin, 23^ of the protein, 12^ of the Vitamin A, a majority of the Vitamin D. These, combined with thiamine and niacin, make up the perfect food. Now, the makers of these sub stitute products actually, in some cases, remove many of these a- M. L. OUTZ, County Agent arm Market News FARMS and FOLKS bove elements of milk and re- juce the food value greatly and sell it at a reduced price. This, in spite of the fact that the cost is higher than the cost of whole milk. Here is another fact brought out by <>ne of the speakers, “Imi tation milk and certain of the filled milks as formulated today are unsuitable for infants and children.” Some pediatricians say that imitation milk consti tutes a hazard to health for child ren up to 12 years old. The pro ducts were also judged to be po tentially harmful toother groups, such as expectant and breast feeding mothers, or a person on a very low diet. I recall Fred Irwin’s, sales representative for Pet Milk Com pany, reaction to these new pro ducts that seem to compete with milk. Fred says, “the greatest competitor of milk is soft drinks and probably will be for some time.” I’m sure this is true. Milk is most always purchased for its food value. There is no other food known to man than can equal it. There is nothing more whole some and refreshing than a good cold glass of sweet milk. BY M. L.

We have the presence of God right with us. This does not mean that we do not need other persons in our life, for surely we all do. But when we rise out of feelings of loneliness or de jection. when we feel close to God, held in His warm and loving care, we find that this loving care includes not only God’s love but also the love of other persons, for God’s love finds expression through people.

BY HAROLD ROGERS Assistant Extension Editor WALHALLA -SouthCarolina’s apple growers, meeting here in Oconee County where tree- studded ridges spell out “apple country,” have organized their own association to nourish and promote this fledgling S. C. agri cultural industry. Some 50 persons from four upstate counties met at the apple capital of Long Creek to organize the S. C. Apple Growers Asso ciation, Inc. Twenty-six of those attending handed in$10 fees to be come charter members. The organization is expected to bring the growers together “to help solve some of their mu tual problems according to County Agent J. O. Morgan. By concerted effort on a statewide basis, he says, they can have a “tremendous influence’ in these four areas: Getting a research program started on apples; encouraging the printing of educational ma terials on production and market ing of apples; arranging for an apple production meeting; and the general promotion of S. C. apples. The research area is vital, Morgan says. “The big thing we have going for us in beating other areas at' the market place is earliness,” he says. “We’repmducingquality fruit, but unless we can continue this lead time in harvesting and marketing, we will have nothing. Earliness and quality are the two things that will keep us in the apple business.” Like the rest of the agricul tural front, apple plucking and peddling is refusing to stand still in this era of accelerated change. Oconee growers in recent years have gone to the contour in setting trees closer together in rows and spaces. “They used to put out 35 to 40 trees to the acre, now they’re getting 100 to 125,” the county agent says. They’ve also gone to the semi dwarf variety instead of stand ard. “These come intoproduction a little earlier and are easier to pick,” Morgan points out. But he sees the need for still more improvement through re search. “We need more information on root stock, on variety,” he says. “We have to keep trying to ad vance the ripening date, and work for uniform ripening to cup pick ing time.” He also sees the need for research in scientific thinning to cut labor costs, and in in sect disease control. “And there will be many other things and activities the apple association can and will do in the future,” according to the county agent. Steering the group over the new - ground of apple promo tion will be these officers: Her- schel Moore of Oconee, presi dent; Frank Bush of Spartanburg County, vice president; Vernon Davenport of Oconee, treasurer; and J. C. Morgan, secretary. I HOPE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE Bv Tom Plaxico This Is A Joke— A fellow was driving through the North Caro lina mountanis and saw an old mountaineer dusting himself off by the side of the road. He stopped and asked the man, “What hap- ened? Did you get hit by a car?” The old fellow replied, “No, but consarn it, that’s the second time todav I’ve fell out of that corn field.” This Is NO Joke— Our 69 cars and trucks are coming through in good time now; production is at a top pace.
