Edenfield of tbe local Rose’s Store has an nounced that some 2,300 em ployees of Rose’s in seven southern states shared in the company contribution to the Employee’s Profit Sharing Trust The contribution, $1,810, 000, was the largest of the twenty-six consecutive annual payments made by Rose’s since the Profit Sharing Plan was started in 1944. Manager Edenfield handed statements of their personal accounts to four local partici pants, showing how each shared in the Company’s 1969 profits and what each had accumulated. He pointed out that a typical participant in the Plan (a sales lady in one of the stores) who had shared in every one of the twenty-six Coihpany contribu tions now has a balance in her account equal to approximately three times her 1969 earnings. Manager Edenfield advised that Central Carolina Bank & Trust Company, Trustee of the Rose’s Profit Sharing Trust, reports that the Fund now to tals over $12,851,000 and holds $3,191,000 of U.S. Government Bonds, $2,835,000 of Corporate Bonds, $4,676,000 Common Stocks, $555,000 of Notes & Mortgages, and $1,594,000 of other assets.

AT • I Muc/i A/ew Information Available For Dairymen starts today A BY M. L. OUTZ County Agent How many of you have been back to school lately? Last week I had the privilege of at tending a week’s short course in Dairy Science. I found out that those professors and re search people still think their subject is the only one in the world, and we got the works! I came home loaded down with material. There is a great deal of in formation available to dairy farmers if we could get it to them, and get the information in use. I am sure this would be of great value to the industry as a whole. One important phase in dairy production that was emphasized was forage testing. We were shown a dairy farm that tests everything as forage from the silo and replaced everything that was missing in his forage with a grain mixture. This mix was protein, miner als, etc. His production was over 14,000. We also were told that the trend was toward very little feeding, if any, in the dairy barn. Most of the feeding will be done in the bunkers. This is because of labor shortages. Everything is done by machine that can possibly be done. Cows will do whatever routine is es tablished. We were told to stop feeding grain in the dairy barn would cause some problems for two or three days, but the cows then settled down and would give no more trouble. This seemed to be the trend because of milking parlors where dairy cows do not have time to eat sufficient grain anyway. A great advantage is leaving off this ex pensive equipment. Of course, as all dairymen know, there is a tremendous amount of infor mation available on dairy nu trition, and I suppose our Clem- son staff is one of the best equipped in the country in this area. Also, I found that our dairy men, I’m afraid are not breed ing their cattle according to the latest research that we have on the bull studs throughout the country. I hope we can empha size this in the future to the point that we will be using the best bulls' in the country. We were told by Dr. McDaniel, who is a Pickens county native and is now doing research at Belksville, Md., that most of the dairy farmers could improve their production by 1,000 lbs. a year easily by using the best avail able bulls, not taking into con sideration management. Another phase discussed was diseases of dairy cattle, mas- County Road Bid Opening Set For June 16 Bids will be opened June 16 on a Laurens County project for resurfacing 8.5 miles of S. C.

It was felt that milking equip ment in many cases is one of the prime causes of mastitis. We were given a thorough brief ing on the use of urea in for ages and grain mix. We were given a lecture on pollution con trol on dairy farms. And here I am sure dairymen will hear more about as time goes on. Other diseases were covered by Dr. Thomas, such as scours, black leg, and Dr. Kissam gave us a lecture on fly control. We also covered herbicides, forage insects and many other subjects. I hope that I can get some of this material into the hands of uur dairymen in the future. LAY AWAY UP TO $50 OF YOUR CHOICE FOR ONLY $ 1.
