DAIRY CAMPAIGN
TERMED SUCCESS

RALEIGH, June 3O.-John A.
Arey, Extension dairyman of N.
C. State college, today reported
that the June Dairy Month cam
paign in North Carolina was highly
successful and he expressed ap'
probation to all of those who par
ticipated. Mr.. Arey was chairman
of the State producers committee
and a member of the Nationa
Dairy Month campaign committee
Enthusiastic support was giver
to Dairy Month by dairymen, milk
plant managers and other distrib'
utors of dairy products" the State
college man said. This resulted
in a substantial increase in the
consumption of milk, butter, ice
cream, cheese, and other products
of the cow"
1.-THE value Oft this campaign
Mr.. Arey continued, sis shown by
the fact that the average daily con.
sumption of milk in North Carolina
is only about four-tenths of a pint
of milk per person, whereas the
average in the Nation as a whole
is one pint per person. If the aver.
age consumption in North Carolina
can be brought up to the national
average, it should result in a hap.
pier and healthier citizenship"

BUYING OF STOCK
REDUCED IN STATE
Interest In Raising Animals
Has Reduced Number I'M
ported Each Year
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
N. e. State College

RALEIGH, June 30 -(R- A re.
newed interest in raising workstocl
at home Is gradually reducing the
number Of horses and mules i'm
ported into North Carolina each
year, Fred NJ. Haig, professor OIL
Animal Husbandry at N. S. State
college, said. today.
Until recently practically all Of
the requirements of work animals
were shipped into the state at a
cost to farmers conservatively es'
timated at SO, 500, 900 each year.
In recent years, however, North
Carolina farmers have made at
tempts to keep some of this money
at home. AS a result, about 5000
horse colts and 1000 mule colts
were born on Tar Heel farms last
spring.
although this is a good START
Professor Haig said, 1--WE still lack
more than 20, 900 colts to meet the
needs created by the elimination
Of animals who have passed the
stage Of usefulness to farming op.
erations. Ordinarily, since Is years
is the average life of work animals,
it is necessary to replace approx
mately 5000 horses and 20, 00C
mules annually in this state"
The State college man explained
that a small number of colts can
be raised on a farm at a non-cash
cost, that is, the small additional
amount Of feed required for one or
two colts can be raised with practi-
cally no additional outlay Of cash.
On farms where no workstock is
raised, the operator is forced to
spend $500 to 5000 for a good team
every few years, professor Haig
stated. Because this amount re.
presents a considerable outlay OF
cash to the average farmer, home
grown animals would provide a
substantial saving.
With the rise in home . grown
Workstock interest has come the
placement OF high-grade sires in
a large number of North Carolina
communities. Many of these Jacks
have been purchased through the
farm security administrations loan
program.
At present, Professor Haig said,

lation numbers $50, 600, of which

DINA wheat growers can now start
planning on guaranteed income fol-
1941, DR.. l.. o. Schaub, director Of
he N. c. State College Extension
Service, announced today.
In those counties growing wheat,
farmers will soon begin signing ap-
plications for "all-risk" insurance
on their 1941 crop. This is the
third consecutive season that crop
insurance has been available to
wheat growers.
1.-THE experience gained in in
surfing the 1889 and 1910 crops has
been used to make a better, more
smoothly operating program" DR..
Schaub said, land the main pro-
visions of the 1871 program are the
same as those governing the 1910
program"
Each wheat grower will be noti-
fed of his insurable yield and the
premium rate which applies to his
1871 crop, the Extension Service
director said. Yields and premium
rates are being revised to bring
the base period of the insurance
up to date by including actual
yields or losses recorded for each
farm in 1889.
All the farmer has to do, DR..
Schaub explained, is to file an ap-
plication with the county commit
tee and pay the premium. This
can be done in one operation. The
application will cover the growers

have enabled farmers of
Wayne County to harvest one
of their best small grain crops
in years, reports C.. S. Mintz,
farm agent of the N. C. State
College Extension Service.
The quality and quantity are

no small grain on their places
but who intend to plant some
of these crops in the future.
The increased planting of
small grains has also caused
an increase in the seeding of
