Standard and commercial grading rows hav-e sold in a general range cf sl4$17.75 while commercial bulls have topped recently at $22 Feeder cattle have shown signs of normal seasonal strength. no ( doubt partly in sympathy with the stronger fat cattle market and partly because of the approach of spring in the southernmost sta'es. With cheaper feed in prospect, marketings of Stocker and feeder ( type cattle are reduced and when ( met by stronger demand, prices rise. Kansas City reported prices on yearling steers up to S’O while choice type steer calves advanced to the $35 level. " Hog prices showed gains across 4ge board, with best meat t vogrades reaching $15.25 at both Indianapolis and Chicago. This represented the best prices since last August. However, the prospective larger supply of hogs for March and April will probably lead to same once loss as soon a* weath- ' er conditions correct themselves. Mitchell says.

Os This And That IXMM M. FOLK Heme ftamawaUattan Agent A few week* ngo the tree bud* I were ta-ginning to swell and spring was in the air. Now we are "knee I Iderp" tn snow, but don't let thb I dampen your spirit There l« beaujty in the air. regardless of th« I i All we must do is ka>k for : it. 1 believe we can all take a lea ' .on from the youngster! here.

Nutrition Nntes Even though you might cut down I <>n tita quantity of food during I la-nt. there is no reason why good | ' nutrition cannot be maintained. I Mrs Homemaker should first con i I sider overall nutrition when planning Lenten meals. For example. I even if breakfast is lighter, it] | should include a fruit juice or solid j .fruit and a protein food <Eggs. I fish, cheese, are three excellent! 'substitutes for meat since the quality of protein is the samel. A poached egg or soft-borled egg for | breakfast with toast, fruit and milk I is filling enough to last until lunch.! Then for lunch, the other meal that |is usually decreased, keep plenty of cheese and peanut butter on ; hand for sandwiches or canned j tuna for salad. Now that carrots. green onions, radishes, and celery. . are inexpensive, keep your hydra- j tor pan full A sandwich, salad and j [milk would be a light lunch and yet still nutritious. Whatever you' , do, don’t omit vegetables or fruits lor both for lunch because you need ■ [them. Since a full meal is allowed I once a day for Lenten observers.] 'be sure to have a good serving of I meat, fish or eggs and several [vegetables and fruits at the main I meal. You'll find at the end of I Lent that you're not run down, but) [fnay feel even better, especially | iif you lost a few excess pounds | along the way For in-between I meat fill-ups try tomato juice, ori ange juice, or other fruits. Yaung Homemakers The snow seems to be upsetting i our schedule in th«t Decatur area j We had to cancel the Thursday, evening class, therefore we won't; begin the classes at the Decatur, high school until March 15. By j then we hope spring is in the air. • or at least milder weather. ' The Berne class is meeting on i schedule. The first class was Feb.! 28 with a good number in attendance. “Make Money Behave was the topic for discussion. 'A finanjdal plan for spending). Next Monday evening, buying tips and hab--1 fits'will be the topic discussed under "What Makes A Good Buy." Os Bottles and Bleaches Have you ever finished the laundry to discover that sour good ; white blouse was a lovely, streaked yellow? Or perhaps it was your husband’s white sihrt. If you investigated further, you may have discovered a label dr a hang tag which stated, "Do not use chlorine bleaCh.”. Yes. there are two types of bleaches on the market. The chlorine bleaches are those in liquid form plus Beads-O'Bleach. These i are very strong and produce immediate results. Nine out of every ten dollars spent bn bleach is spent for liquid chlorine bleach. Never allow any chlorine bleach directly ■ from the container to come in contact with your laundry. Always dilute it and never just pour some 1 into, your laundry water -— measure accurately. Do not use chlorine bleaches on wool, silk, rayon, or some resin-treated cottons, as r they are harmful to these fibers. To be safe, read the hang tag on .the garment and follow the specific instructions. Oxygen-based bleaches are milder, therefore several laundryings will be necessary to restore gray ’ and full garments to their original

Electronic Brain i Aids Mating Game By GAY FAULEY I Fl Women's Editor NEW YORK < UP!'—Twentieth I Century electronics have come tn! the aid of a ritual old as man- [ (kind—the mating game < The mechanical brain to some degree even measures sex appeal, that quality which makes a Mari-1 lyn Monroe into a global institu-1 ! tion, says Lee Morgan, a graduate | sociologist. Miss Morgn. a brown - eyed | I brunette in her early 30s, and hap-; Ipily wed. Ls founder and director; I of the Scientific Introduction Serv-1 i ice Inc., an organization which, uses the push-button as well as| | personal approach to help those, ; searching for a mate. Miss Morgan, a graduate of | New York University, said that in I the four years she has directed the service, she has introduced ! between 5.000 and 6.000 persons—most of them in their 20s and 30s I The marriage rate runs "between i 10 and 15 per cent." Here is what happens to the ' eligible person who subscribes to the service. First, there is a I lengthy interview with Miss Morgan or another one of her staff | trained in psychology, during 'which your case,history is recorded—your age 'yes. women must tell), whether you have been married before. If so whether there were any children, where you J were born, your family background, religion, education, pros-j I ent job, approximate income, hob- ’ bies and other interests, if you're a woman your attitude toward vour career 'is it stop gap or long term’), and the type of mate you’re looking for—quiet, garrulous, bookwormish, athletic, han<|i some or average. ' Miss Morgan then compiles a dossier and "arrives at certain conclusions about your type.” AU this basic information is entered on a punch card—pink for the I girls, blue for the men. naturally. Your card along with hundreds of others is tossed into an elec- ' tronics sorter, and 20 to 30 possibilities ultimately are selected for you. These may be narrowed even further, when Miss Morgan reviews the file—“ You still have to depend on human judgment, no matter what a machine says." she explained. Introduction is arranged by telephone,_and Miss Morgan said a client who signs up for six months meets at least six different persons: 10 or more, if the contract is for a year. Purdue University entomologists point out that termites may begin swarming during the warm days in 4 March and continue through May. Visitors should not be permitted in swine barns, especially during the farrowing season, point out Purdue University veterinarians. They may unintentially introduce diseases which can seriously affect the swine program. Leukemia has increased nearly 400 per cent in men over 50 since 1930. The American Cancer Society is spending large sums for research on ways to control this fatal form of cancer. It needs your support. About 500.000 new cancer cases will be diagnosed this year, the American Cancer Society predict. All adults are urged to have an annual health checkup and to support the Soc'ety’s April Crusade. ' 1

Don’t be in too big a hurry to do away with brooder heat for earlyhatched chicks, say Purdue University poultry scientists. Stoves should remain in the brooder house and ready for use until chicks are at least eight weeks old.

Oats Silage Spring oats seeded at normal, i rates for gain are excellent for. pasture, silage, or green chopping The Bentland variety has given the highest silage yields so IT tons per acre. Harvest at the early heading stage for dairy cattle and at the i late milk or early dough for beefj cattle. Silage additives are needed to assure good quality silage. With large acreages, commence harvesting at a little earlier stage to get the bulk of the crop at the correct stage of growth. Band Seeding Band seeding is preferred for seeding Ranger, Vernal. Buffalo, and Atlantic alfalfa this spring. Seeding rates can be cut by one third and at the same time get a better stand. ,Farm equipment dealers can supply the necessary, hoses and connections for convert-i ing your present grain drill for band seeding.
