The preeiding examiner was
Howard L. Bums, attorney of
Greenwood. Moat of the qu'.a-

alee an attorney of Greenwood,
who waa representing some of

testimony ia taken from the of-
, fleial record of proceedings of
the hearing.—Ed)
The , testimony of Dr. William
P, Kroschel continues:
Q. Now, Doctor, I believe you
hare told us that fluoridation of
water is not a new development in
the sense that a large number of
communities have had that in
their water all the time, but can
you tell us how many people in
the United States are using water
from a public supply that has been
naturally fluoridated?
A. About 1200 communities with
about four and one half million
people and with the communities
that are adding fluoride, there are
15,000 with about 32 mil-
Q. What portion of the popula
tion of the country would you say
32 million represent of the
tion using public water sup
plies ?,
A. About one in four,
Q, About one-fourth?
A, Yee,
Q. Now, while we «fre talking on
this, what are some of the Barger
cities in the country whieh are
adding fluorides to their water
supply ?
A, Well, cities like Washington,
D, C,; Baltimore, Maryland; Mia
mi, Florida; Little Rock, Arkfan-
aas; Chicago, Philadelphia, San
Franchco, St. Paul and Minnea
polis, Cleveland, Ohio and others.
Q. A number of the larger ci
ties ?
A. That’s right.
Q. In this vicinity, can you tell
mo some of the places that are
now fluoridating their water?
A. In this vicinity, DeKalb
County, Georgia, with a popula
tion of two hundred thousand is
fluoridating; Orangeburg, Rock
Hill, Little Rock, Arkansas; Mia
mi, Florida; Athens, Georgia and
Charlotte, N. C.
Q. How long has Athens had
the program?
A. Athens has been fluoridating
about six years.
Q. Do you happen to know if a
survey has been mrde of the re
sults of the program in Athens?
A. A survey has been made
recently; in fact, within the last
two months, and it is published
and we have the exhibit and it
shows after six years, they are
getting about the same benefits as
the other study programs got.
Q. It measured up to those oth6r
areas ?
A. That is correct. v
Q. Now, Doctor, I will ask you
this question. The question may
have been asked, or may be ask
ed. Why would you recommend
adding fluoride to a water supply
when only a portion of our peo
ple use water from the water sup
ply here?
A. We believe that water is a
natural vehicle which will carry
the fluoride to the entire popula
tion. Two water supplies, of
course, would be very egpeneJvej
that is, one supply juet for drink
ing purposes and another for in
dustrial purposes and other usafe.
We feel water fluoridation i > so
economical. It only costa a peraon
from five to ten cents a year, It
can very easily be done by fluori
dating the entire water supply
rather than have separate sya-
tems.
Q. Well, I will ask you, can the
supply on a farm or in a separate
school be fluoridated?
A. At this time* it is not recom
mended that the procedure be
uhed. There is a fluoridator under
study at this time that can be
used on separate water supplies;
for instance in a rural area where
they have their own water supply,
but enough information has not
been gathered to recommend that
this be done. And I want to say
here that even though we could
fluoridate all of our community
water supplies, there still would
be about forty percent of the
population that could not benefit
from the procedure because they
have their own water systems.
Q. Private wells.
A. That is right.
Q. What about the matter of
adding fluoride to milk, could that
be done?
A. There hasn’t been sufficient
study done on adding fluoride to
milk and it is felt that generally
some groups might not benefit as
much as drinking the fluoride in
the water supply. I am thinking
of people in the lower economic
groups who may not drink as
much milk. It is not consumed as
regularly as the water supply.
Q. Now, what about taking
fluoride in the form of tablets, is
that practical?
A. We must remember that this
must be consumed from birth
through eight to twelve years of
age and if we left it to the aver
age individual and I am perhaps
no different, sometimes I feel if
a little does good, a whole lot will
do much better and add a little

High Quality and Mura Quantity
Forage
One of the highlighte of the An
nual Jersey Cattle Club meeting
was the address by Dr. W. A.
King Jr., Assoc. Prof, of Dairy
Husbandry at Clemson College.
Dr. King’s timely message was
“More Milk from Quality For
age.”
The main theme of Dr. King’s
talk was that our dairy farmers
must produce more high quality
forage in the form of hay, grax-
ing and silage, in order to increase
milk production. He noted that
cows do not like much of the hay
and silage we now grow. There
fore, palatability must be improv
ed in order to get more feed into
our cows. In this connection Dr.
King cited research that showed
cows ate 3 times as much hay that
was cut June 1st as compared
with similar hay left to mature
until July 1st.
Also noted was that it is usual
ly the quality and not the kind of
silage that is best for milk pro
duction. At Clemson, Dr. King
stated that no change in milk pro
duction was noted when cows
were changed from corn silage to
sorghum silage, when both were
of high quality.
Dr. King also emphasized that
some hay should be fed even when
cows are being fed silage free
choice.
Frequent feeding of hay and si
lage rather than only once or
twice each day was important.
Corn silage and alfalfa hay was
cited to still be the top milk pro
ducing combination for getting
most milk from cows.
Dr. King observed that in all re
ports about record producing cows
and. herds one notes that such
statements as “up to 60 pounds of
quality hay was fed” or “all cows
were heavy feeders of hay and
silage.”
Other remarks made by Dr.
King on “How to Make Cows
Milk” included: “Fly control has
increased milk production up to
35%,” an<!, “Avoid any sudden
changes in Feeding and Manage
ment.”
Dr. King concluded his remarks
by stating that usually “The man
determines the production level of
his cows by the feeding and man
agement he gives them.”
Plant Coastal Bermuda Early
Coastal Bermuda continues to
gain favor with farmers who give
it a fair trial. In fact, some farm
ers claim it’s hard to exaggerate
as to what it wil T io when lushed
to the limit. Dr. Glen Burton who
developed “Coastal” at Tifton,
Ga., calls it “The triple threat”
grass. By that, he means it’s good
for grazing, hay and silage.
Some folks in Newberry Coun
ty have been disappointed because
they didn’t get a good stand of
coastal to begin with. To overcome
much of this fault, we’ve observ
ed, is to plant it early when there
is plenty of moisture available.
Sand Hill Farms had outstand
ing results in establishing 10
acres of coastal last year. Here’s
how Wilmer Longshore and the
boys at Sand Hill did it.
In February the land waa pra-
partd. TOO pounds of 4-19-18 waa
disced Into tha top aoil at this
Mm*
Purine tba first week of March,
40 buabala per acre of freahly dug
etolona were put out with a man
ure spreader, Immediately, almost
aa the etolona hit the ground they
were covered lightly with a diac
barrow. Then came the cultipack-
er to complete the operation.
Soon after April 1st a good ap-
plication of nitrogen top dressing
along with April showers put the
ooactal to growing. Then a good
spraying for weed control in early
May and there wae a pretty good
cutting of hay ready by the middle
of June, Two more applications of
nitrogen topdresaing yielded two
additional cuttings of hay during
the summer.
So in the final analysis they had
at the end of the first year’s
growth, a good stand plus over 3
tope of hay ner acre made from
coastal.
And Wilmer Longshore will tell
you they didn’t have any trouble
getting the dairy cows to eat
coastal, either!
Seems like every farm could use
at least a few acres of this out
standing grass to insure a more
adequate feed supply.
Crop Yield Opportunities
There are many opportunitiee in
Newberry County through. the
wise use of fertilizer and lime—
the theme of the local soil fertili
ty program. Here are a few ex
amples of what can be done with
a complete fertilizer program.
We in Newberry County can
produce 600,000 bushels of com
on 12,000 acres or an average of
60 bushels per acre. We can pro
duce 750,000 bushels of oats on
15,000 acres. We can save 60,000
tons of hay on 12,000 acres of
grass, alfalfa and other legumes,
or four tons per acre. We can es
tablish and maintain 35,000 acres
of pasture that will support at
least one grown animal per acre.
On 5,000 acres We can produce 75,-
000 tons of silage.
Such yields would produce
enough feed for more hogs and
c-ttle and give us a sound live
stock program.
On top of that, we can average
at least a bale of cotton per acre
o*i our allotment. All of this could
bring our total cash farm income
to at least several million more
dollars than we now receive. Don’t
you think it’s worth a try?
Buy Good Seed
Good seed is needed in the suc
cessful growing of any crop. Re
member that poor seed o v seed
not adapted to eur soils and cli
mate only produce poor crops.
About this time every year the
seed catalogs and farm maga
zines urge us to buy and often
times the pretty pictures and at
tractive prices prove too much for
us to resist. -
First, get a list of recommend
ed varieties of all seed or plant
ing stock. Our office can furnish
this information. Next, get certi
fied seed if possible. If not, get
seed of known origin or from
someone you know is reliable.
Good seed, treated to withstand
disease, produce better growing
plants. When buying any seed, re
member, the best is none too good.

Frozen Vegetables
Abundance and convenience are
the keywords when cookery of
frozen vegetables is discussed.
Practically every vegetable with
the exception of lettuce, fresh to
matoes and cucumbers has been
or can be frozen. There are many
new attractive, tasty and famil
iar varieties such as: whole green
beans, Italian greenbeans and tiny
French peas. There are many new
ready to serve vegetables in heat
able film bags such as broccoli
with cheese sauce, asparagus with
Hollandaise sauce; and vegetable
made dishes ready to heat in foil
pans such as corn or spinach
souffle.
The cookery of frozen vege
tables is quick t >d easy; a time
saver in meal preparation and a
nutrient saver in method. When
cooking frozen vegetables follow
the instructions given on the pack
age. For top eating quality it is
important to have the water boil
ing. When cooking vegetables that
have been packaged in film bags
it is important to have enough
water so that the film bag can be
ummersed while cooking. It is also
important to follow directions as
to the removal of the cover and
the use of correct boiling tempera
ture when frozen vegetable souf
fles are prepared for serving.
Certain principles and rules have
to be applied to the cookery of
the regular pack frozen vege
tables. The most important prin
ciple is to cook the vegetable as
quickly as possible in a covered
pan. Frozen vegetables are usual
ly cooked in 1-4 to 1-2 cup of sea
soned boiling water. Non-starch
vegetables can be cooked with
butter or margarine plus season
ings with no additional water ad
ded. It is essential that the vege
tables arc cooked in a covered pan
if this method is used.
Most vegetables can be cooked
as scon as they are removed from
the freezer. Partial thawing how
ever hastens heat penetration and
aids in the separation of broccoli
stalks and asparagus spears. This
