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
