There can hardly be shadow
of doubt but what the first and
most important factor in the de-
velopment of the farm home, the

of schools and health in the coun.
try, is that of making farming
farming pay better. To do this,
it lis obviously necessary to in
crease our acreage production in
the State at a minimum cost and
at the same time secure at least
reasonably fair returns from the
crops produced. Poor homes, in
adequate church and school fa-
cilities are more prevalent than
we should like to see them in
North Carolina, because of the
fact that so many of our farms
are producing such poor yields
and net returns for the efforts
put into their operations.

WHAT MILK WILL DO FOR BOYS AND
GIRLS.

VURl Wilk WILL w IVU UViS hNV
GIRLS.
The following was the prize.
winning essay in the Canton, O.,
Milk Campaign conducted by the
National Dairy Council, the O.
hio State University and the o.
hio State Bureau:
milk is a vital human food. 1t
is good for both young and old.
A quart of milk day is not too
much, and each should have at
least a pint. Plenty of milk gives
children the chance for health
they ought to have. 1t helps them
to grow, sleep we'll, and to build
strong, vigorous bodies.
"A mother having the respon-
sibility of the development and
nourishment of an infant should
use a quart of milk day in or.
der to meet this additional phys.
ical demand.
milk gives US protein for
building muscles and other body
tissues. 1t also gives US lime,
which is needed for our bones
and teeth, and for other b 20 d y
uses.
Protein and lime are also i'm
portant in repairing our bones
and in muscles which are used
and replaced as a result of the
normal wear and tear of our bod
les. Well.developed muscles and
strong, well,formed bones and
teeth are just as essential for a
strong body as are goood materi.
ais and good construction for
well.built engine. Strong, heal.
thy teeth are not only signs OF
health, but they also resist de-
cay.
"Milk supplies energy for the
needs of the infants body, and
adds to the fuel food of the child
and adult. A baby will double
and often treble it's weight il
six months with no other food.
Almost every one likes to drink
milk, but it is more than a bever
age, it is efficient food.
milk produces energy, pro
mates growth and and maintains
health. Milk is a protective foo(
and as such is in the class O
those foods whose liberal ust
protects health and promote.
growth. 1t excels all other pro
tective foods being approached il
value only by fresh vegetables
such as lettuce, spinach, etc
The liberal use of milk is tho
; best food for main tanning goo(
! health in all individuals, and 70
promoting rapid, healthy growtl
j, in the young.
milk is the most excellen
food known because it is a com
plete food. 1t contains larg
quantities of mineral matter
which is lacking in most foods.
Good health demands plent
G of milk. 1t supplies the bod
with necessary materials in el
ceptionally healthful and ect
nomical form. An abundant SUI
ply of good milk is of nation;
