This represents over a 700 per cent increase in less than a ten- year period, according to County Agent A1 Busby. In 1963, for the first time in the history of Newberry county, agricultural income from sales of farm products rose to about the 7 million dollar mark. A further increase is expected when the 1964 figures are in, hie directly to increased income from egg receipts. Of the $7,079,000 1963 farm income, egg sales amounted to 25 per cent of this total. Dairy income amounted to 29 per cent and other livestock and poultry sales came to 25 per cent. This means that the county now receives nearly four-fifth of its farm income from livestock, dairy, poultry and eggs. Income from these sources have soared from less than one-quarter million dollars in 1939 to over 5 1-2 million in 1963, an almost incredible increase of 2,242 per cent in less than 25 years! On a State basis, agricultural income is approximately 70 per cent from crop production and only 30 per cent from livestock, poultry and dairy.

Add Goodness to Eating on Every Occasion with Newberry county Eggs From an early morning eye-opener to a late-at-night snack, eggs add goodness to eating on each occasion. In about five minutes eggs can be prepared for break fast. Scramble an egg in two minutes while the water heats for instant coffee . . . soft cook an egg in two to four min utes . . . poach an egg in five minutes . . . team an egg with a slice of toast, a cup of coffee and a serving of fruit juice for a tasty, nutritious breakfast low in calories. More and more busy people are drinking their breakfast. A good meal-in-a-glass can be made by stirring or blending an egg into cold orange juice or milk. Whether for family breakfast, brunch or lunch, plain or party fare, there are hundreds of ways to serve eggs. These all originate in one of the nine basic methods of cooking eggs: soft or hard cooked in the shell, fried, scrambled, broiled, baked, French and puffy omelets. The egg is the chief ingredient for a multitude of main dishes for lunch and dinnertime eating. Salads become more colorful garnished with hard-cooked eggs. Eggs fur nish a beautiful garnish for all cold meat or cold fish plates, and for summer salad plates. Eggs add more energy and nutrition to soups, and they enrich all kinds of sauces. Many popular desserts depend upon the egg for their flav orful goodness, and most cakes, cookies and many breads require eggs. Nature’s Most Perfect Food On the basis of its caloric contribution the egg is one of nature's most nutritious ready-packages of food. Physi cians and nutritionists have a high regard for the nutri ents one medium-size egg provides with its 77 calories. These nutrients are so embracive, so well-balanced that, in a matter of three weeks after fertilization, the egg under proper temperature conditions produces a baby chick and develops it to the point where it can break its shell and step out of it. It comes into the world fully clothed, able to walk, to see and hear, to “talk" and to eat adult food. From the 77 calories in the egg it has stored up within its little body enough nutrients to sustain itself for the first 72 hours of its life. Eggs are especially valued as a source of highest quality protein. In addition, they supply many essential vitamins and minerals. They are especially noteworthy as good sources of vitamins A and D, the vitamins so important during the growth periods of childhood and adolescence, and of the minerals needed for proper utilization. Regard ing their vitamin D contribution they are second only to fish liver oils as a natural source. Qualitatively, egg protein ranks highest of all food pro teins. In fact, egg protein is established as the standard against which the quality of other foods is measured. 4,450,000 Dozen Eggs! Produced in Newberry County in 1963—and Even More in ’64!
