McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOI 'TH CAROLINA Thursday, July 8, 1943 Importance Of Clean Milk Stressed In Demonstrations “Throughout the ages, milk has been recognized as an indi spensable food, and milk is truly nature’s most nearly perfect food,” stated B. E. Goodale, ex tension dairy products specialist, during his discussion on “The Production of Clean Milk and Cream on the Farm” which was a part of the all-day dairy prod ucts processing demonstrations held in Home Demonstration A- gent’s office on June 21, 1943. Mr. Goodale outlined the ess2n- tials of producing and processing clean milk from the cow to the table, laying special emphasis on cleanliness of barns, yards, cows, milkers, utensils, and the utmost importance of rapid cooling and low holding temperatures. Clean ing and sterilizing all milk uten sils was stressed. “Milk is superior to any other food or combination of foods as a source of calcium,” said Mr. Ooodale in discussing the food values of milk. “Calcium in one quart of milk is equivalent to the calcium in 28 oranges or 6 pounds of cabbage or 7 pounds of carrots or 27 pounds of potatoes or 39 eggs. “One quart of milk furnishes . , , S2.4 grams of protein—about one- 1 * when field work s ac s up ’ half of the daily protein need of haul in ^ain straw, leaves, swamp an average adult and one-third grass ’ and other litter for the or more of the daily need of a compost heap. 2. Sow cowpeas soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. 3. If the acreage or prospective yield of corn and summer forage crops is not sufficient for farm needs, plant additional acreage after thorough preparation of soil. 4. Plan for grazing during a possible late summer drought. 5. Get normal growing child. “Riboflavin, also known as vita min B2 or G, is indispensable for growth—and for health and vigor in adult life. One quart of milk furnished as much riboflavin as 12 eggs or 11-2 pounds dried navy beans or 2 1-3 pounds of lean beef round or 14 ounces of American cheese.” Exhibits and charts added in terest to the discussion and dem onstration. Attending the meetings were 25 farm men and women who sell surplus milk, community or neighborhood committeemen, old er 4-H Club members, a repre sentative for each home demon stration club, vocational agricul tural and home economics teach ers, Farm Security home and farm advisors. Much interest was shown by those attending County Xgent G. W. Bonnette, and Home Demonstration Agent Miss Matilda Bell were responsi ble for the plans and exhibits for the local demonstration.

PRICES TODAY ARE AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH We do not believe stumpage prices can go much, if any, higher. A ceiling on pulpwood prices has been set by the O.P.A. and the \ O.P.A. shows no intention of raising the ceil ing. And if you v wait in ~pe that the price will go a few cents higher, you mry find there is no labor available to cut it. But, aside from your own financial advan- 1939 1941 tage, there is a still more urgent reason for selling your pulpwood now. Uncle Sam needs it! Needs it for a thou sand wartime uses. Many landowners can make a fine profit for themselves; a real contribution to the war effort; and actually increase the value of their timberlands by scientific thinning of their stands at this time. * y Get the advice of the state forester.
