A letter was read from the Newberry County Water and Sewer Authority asking for a meeting with city council next Tuesday to discuss the sale of water to the authority at the Silverstreet tank site. The city has an engineering study under way in regard to this at this time, but City Manager Riebe indicated that it would not be ready for a meeting on Tues day. DAIRY INDUSTRY . . . (Continued from Page 1) Before the dairy picture gets too rosy, let’s look at the dairy farmer. His life is more hectic than ever. He must be a dairy scientist, agronomist, veterinar ian, carpenter, brick layer, me chanic, accountant and fore most, a businessman. Most dairy farmers carry on two full time operations. One, to pro duce feed crops and second, that of managing the herd. The weather never seems to be right. While he needs fair weather for making hay, pas tures and silage crops need rain. With a wide range of feed crops, he is busy harvesting one crop and needs to be plant ing some other crop at the same time. And when the wea ther is just right, some piece of equipment is bound to break down. On today’s dairy farm, there’s always something to build or buy, and the invest ment required to continue dairy farming continues to increase. A modern milking, feeding, and cow-handling system cost about $800 per cow to build. Add this to the cost of each cow, whether purchased or rais ed, the cost of silos, land, con crete, buildings and equip ment and you come up with an investment of over $2,000 per cow. It is little wonder that we have so few dairy farmers these days. The cow herd presents pro blems, too. When to breed, what sire to use, when to turn dry and special attention at calving time can keep you busy. Herd health is very important also. High-producing cows can go down quickly with bloat or milk fever. A delay in treatment can mean the loss of one of the nest cows in the herd. Shots for immunization and tests for disease prevention require plan ning and time. Today’s dairy farmer is a cus tomer for a wide range of goods and services. Thus an almost constant stream of salesmen and service agents hunt a path to his door. Fertilizer, seed, feed, machinery, gas, oil, bat teries, repairs, cars, trucks, and tractors are some of his pur chases. Now back to the end product- Milk! That’s what it’s all about. These millions of gallons of “Nature’s most nearly perfect food” that are produced in New berry County are eventually disturbed throughout South Car olina and even into North Car olina. Health inspectors insure a wholesome, sanitary product for the consumer. Yes, our Newberry County Dairy farmers are doing a great job of supplying the major milk markets with a wholesome, nu tritious and much needed pro duct. During June Dairy Month, we proudly salute Newberry Coun ty’s fifty Grade “A” dairy farmers. They include: C. B. Alewine and Son; Henry Anderson; William Ballentine; J. R. Bishop and Sons; Press- ley Boozer; J. H. Bowers, Jr.; Harold and Guy Bowers; Jim Braswell; A. F. Busby and Sons; Briggs Cunningham, III, and Dr. J. J. Malnetti; W. D.

College team is again honored The Newberry College base ball team has another honor to add to its growing list. First baseman Johnny Dawkins has signed a professional baseball contract for a bonus and a set salary which was not disclos ed. He has been assigned to the Class A Farm team in Au burn, New York. Dawkins is the second player to sign a professional contract from Coach Horace Turbeville’s regular season champions of the NAIA District 6 team. The other player is Johnny Harbin who was the first draft choice for the Los Angeles Dodgers. A native of Florence, Dawk ins has been an outstanding baseball player for the past four years. He led the team in hitting his freshman year with a .334 batting average and also has led in R.B.I.’s for two years. For the past two years, he was on the All-NAIA tour nament team. In 1971 he set a NAIA District 6 tournament re cord by hitting three home runs in two games. He hit one home run in the 1972 play-offs. He has helped Newberry at three different positions—as a catch er, outfielder, and at first base his senior year. Dawkins also lettered in football for the past four years as a tight end. He was the leading pass receiver in 1970. Coach Turbevilie remarked, “I will have a difficult task to try and replace Johnny at first base. He is one of the finest defensive first basemen in the district. He also has been a clutch hitter for us the past four years.” GIFTS FOR DAD ON FATHER’S DAY , SUNDAY, JUNE 18 STRAW HATS KNIT SHIRTS by Dobbs by Puritan, Arrow and Jockey DRESS SHIRTS Enro and Arrow TOILETRIES Hawaiian Surf Brute SUITS by Palm Beach Middishade SPORT SHIRTS by Arrow, Norris Casuals, Enro Beau Brummel Ties SLACKS by Hubbard Farah, Palm Beach SHOES Crosby Square Nunn-Bush SOCKS by Interwoven and Valiant Enro Pajamas ATTRACTIVELY GIFT WRAPPED FOR FATHER'S DAY "The Sfore For Men— — Where The Ladies Like To Shop"
