Increase The Use Of Dairy Products Clem son College, June 2.?One of the reasons advanced by the dairy industry why the i>lwi proposed by the Koverment to reduce j>roduc(ion was unnecessary is the fact, that <onsumption of milk and its .product* at the present time is far below what it should ?* , says Prof. J. P. I^Master, head of the dairy department here, who quote- President M. D? Munn of the National Dairy Council in the following statement. "In order to "supply the amount of milk necessary for adequate con-, gumption it would require the production of at least f?<> per cent more milk than is r.??w being produced. In fact, the department of agriculture at Wa-ihngton hm stated that, in o?> ider 'to get all tin- milk we need to put everyone on an adequate diet at moderate <ost. we Would need ! ?.000,000 more cows than we now have. "The government estimates we i have 20,000,000 dairy cows on the farms of this country at the present time, by far the largest number in our history. The increase in number of cow's has not much more than kept pace with the increasing population, while the per capita eonHumption of milk and its products at the present time, as stated above, \n f?(> per cent below what it should be." Urging an increase in the consumption of butter through a nationwide promotive campaign, President Munn continues: "The per capita consumption is approximately 18 ^pounds per year. hood authorities state that the yearly consumption of butter should be at least 28 pounds by each person. In order to do this we would have to increase our present nunvber of cows by 6,000,000. What a market this would make for the surplus grain which the government is now attempting to reduce through controlled production and process tax! "About 4-1 per cent of all the milk we now produce is* used in the making of butter. Approximately 43 per cent is used as fluid rriilk and table cream. Outstanding food authorities of the world say everyone should use one quart of milk daily. Present consumption is about 60 per cent below this amount. Cheese consumption is less than one-third of what it should be, while the ice cream we use can bo more than doubled to the advantage of our health and pleasure. "While these opportunities are before this great industry isn t it time for all groups of this industry to adopt definite plans for a nation-wide program to increase consumption of all dairy products?''

Ex-Sheriff Recalls Conjurors' Doings Ron Harris, colored man who had ( been working for the city for some j time previous to an illness, is improvJ ing and he says he thinks ho will he J all right in the near future. Ben bet lioves that some other negro ca.-t a | spoil on him and that his illness was due to that cause. Realizing that Ron is of a superstitious nature Chief Huey Montgomery got hold of a hard wood knot that had been taken out of a timber and on showing it to Ben -said that this charm would keep evil influence away fromhim, causing him to get well. *Ben said, "I know you were going to do something funny that would help me j out." He says he is now; feeling quite j well and that he eocpects to be able to i work soon. But Ben Harris is not the only negro who believes in conjurors. Voodoo doctors have always Wen able to entice many of the colored people and some of the white people. Former Sheriff J. P. Hunter says that one of the most widely known voodoo doctors ne has ever known was A If Blakeney who lived in Chesterfield county ju-t across the McMa: us bridge rear Taxahaw, A number of years ago a r< cio named John M I'.wain killed a Mr. \Vatkir.> who wa> superintendent of the oil m il her*-. Mr. Watk:r.< was a first cou-in of Judge Watkir.- who i- now federal judge in this state and the murde- created wide-spread nterest. M? Hwam fled and She* .tT Hunter received word that this negro had sought the influence of I>r. A If Blakeney to protect him from "he law. I .ate or.e r. ight Mr. Hur.ter went to see Blakeney and after telling the r.cgr<> voodoo doctor what a great man he was and how he sh u.d turn hi- talents toward upholding 'he law ir.-tead of defeating the ends of ju.-tice he in<!vi red as to the wr.t-'eanouts of Mcllwair.. Blakeney refused to atT.rm or deny that he ?\* v where M?*I1 wain wa> hiding i>u* tmally a few silver dollars ir.d ; > : h m tell 'he Cr.er.tT where M l.wa?r. was working. It seems thn* M ' 1w a: r. ha i pa: } the conjure doctor to keen hfm out of trouble. Mcf'.wain was working or. a farm in Chesterfield county where the land was higher than the surroundings. For this reason he could see a great distance when anyone approached and for this reason Sheriff Hunter had a man pose as a bird hunter. McIIwain was taken in custody but he escaped from his custodian before he was placed in jaiL About a year I later he was arrested at Detroit, Michigan and returned to this state. Dr. Alf Blakeney was successful in working on the superstitions of the colored people and when he died his wife took up the work but she was not nearly so successful. One of the most successful voodoo doCtdrs in these parts was Dr. Jacksoil who lived near Stoneboro and who died recently. More people probably went to consult Dr. Jackson than any other conjure doctor in these parts. Dr. Jackson is now dead but there will probably be some other doctor who will pick up the profession of removing spells from people and protecting them from evil influences.?Lancaster News.
