Sbp^m64r«J. «SE *:4}R [.bn v. FARM NEWS '57 Good Year Egg Producer (by J. R. Roush) Ui>v. " P™068 this fall and in the I., f half of 1957 are ^expected , to be below thosb of a year 1 lo irlier." But the anticipated dei° Th ines will not be so large as to f ' , discourage producers. ' * During the first six months of 195(5, egg prices averaged 11 percent above the comparable period ™f 1955, while feed could be iought for about 7 percent less, 'hese, favorable conditions did II,ot cause/any great increase in (hying flock replacements. - Chickens Raised for . laying "tloek replacements this spring find- summer are reported to be 4jnly about 2 percent above the record of last year. And rate of lay this fall is also expected to above year-ago levels. But, ven so, total egg supply this :i should not be more than f'4- 6 percent above the compatible period . last year. This inase is not likely to be large *3jjnough to prevent the typical Seasdnal increase in prices. How- 7 ;^ver, the. seasonal Tise this fall will be less, and the peak will probably come earlier than in ? 1955. Last "year the peak came I 4}ear the end of December, when | Illinois producers were receiving ji 49 to 52 cents for Grade A large | £ggs and about 42 cents for current receipts. fblc crej /£ ^E ggg prices can be expected to •^'Continue somewhat below yearago levels throughout the spring Of 1957. But two consecutive years of good prices could cause farmers to increase chick orders next spring and could lead to ' Considerably lower prices during the 1957-58 production year. ,• Increased broiler supplies de- ' press prices. Broiler producers | pre, having an unfavorable year. 1 The immediate future appears to f offer no relief. For the first half I of 1956, placements averaged 22 » percent above the comparable 5 period last year. Marketing of { these increased supplies caused » ifarm prices to average about five v • ^(Fents a pound below, last year. 1 Broiler supplies will be well I jabove year-ago levels, at least g Ithrough October. Through this £ 'period the ferni price cannot be <j expected to rise above 20 to 22 | cents. Odds are better that I prices will go below this level j during late September and Octo- I ber as the normally high sum- I mer demand for broilers and fry- *' mf rs decreases. > The broiler supply situation .can change rapidly. Broiler prices during November and beyond will depend largely on present and future placements. Unless placements are reduced to bring sup- ) plies at least down to year-ago levels, producers could rurt into serious difficulties during the late fall and winter. 1956 drop that wijl exceed that of last year by. at least 10 million birds. Production at this levef would also top the 1954 record crop by 12 percent or more. With this largfe number of turkeys moving to market this fall, prices are almost certain to average several cents lower than in 1955. And growers will probably cut back production in 1957. Cancer Exhibit " Gains Popularity The man -on the streets is rapidly demonstrating, a much, iifiore alert curiosity about cancer and its possible . effects on his own life, according to observers at Chicago's MuseUm of Science and Industry. Not so long ago the very complete display of cancer exhibits in tlje medical science wing had a difficult time drawing its share of the throngs of visitors attracted by the great scienCo museum. It had "understandable difficulty competing with other such, exhibits as the big working coal mine at the Museum through which thousands of pop-eyed sfSectators are conducted daily, or the hundred and one "do-it-yourself", type of exhibits that give such at thill to those who constantly throng the electrica! and communicationis parts of the Museum. If latest available statistics mean anything, this previous indifference to the facts of life and this past tendency to shy away from serious presentations like the cancer exhibit are undergoing a big change. Latest reports on visitors to the lyiuseum, and .covering July, show that where twelve • months earlier only one out of every ten visitors to the lake front institution spent any time in looking over the cancer display, the figure for the month recently ended was one out of every six. Actually, 50,763 visitors studied the cancer exhibit during July. An interesting sidelight to this changing attitude among the public is that those in hospitals arid other medical professions are also using the exhibit as part of their extra - curricular program. The cancer, exhibit, most outstanding in its field in the country, is presented by the Illinois Division of the American Cancer society as a public service. It was produced by the University of Illinois College of Medicine. .^Record Turkey Crop Expected Turkey prices this fall and winter are not expected to be good from the standpoint of the producer. Indications point- to a subset. DOVE HUNTING SEASON The Illinois dove hunting season. opened Sept. 1 and will close Oct. 10. If warm weather continues, a good dove season may be expected, according to Director Glen D. Palnier of the state Department of Conservation. The onset of cold weather, particularly if accompanied by rain, would speed tl)e southern migration of doves .to states further south, Palmer said. Hunters are allowed to kill eight doves in any one day; the possession limit is eight.

Lunch wagon Meyers & H( Carnivals offer excellent night picture-taking opportunities* Night-life fflr Your Camera / On summer weekends and vacation trips, nighttime drivihgis bound to present lots of views that Vill captivate you by their sheer beauty. There'll be ^ the twinkling lights of a town &e£n in the distance as you approach-over the brow of a hill, a quiet little tree-lined street in a residential section, a park scene given- fairy outlines against the dark- ^ky. Any of these is likely to yield good picture material--and! so will fair grounds, public buildings, monuments, statues, and historic shrines which are illuminated at night. For such is; the. magic of night that it often l^nfls enchantment and majesty to >^hat might be only an average view when seen by daylight. Whenever the night presents a breathtaking view, it's time for a little picture-taking activity on your part. Just get out of thfe car and stretch your legs for .a few minutes while you set up your camera and make a brief time exposure. John Van Guilder Night-time has 'always been famed in song and story. Scarcely a poet down through the ages has failed to pay homage to th'at lovely velvet-cloaked mystery knowri as Night. So why not take your cue from all these advisers and put your camera on the "night shift," too? We think you'll find that picture taking after dark is really a very simple matter. Place your camera on a tripod or other solid support and set it for time exposure. As for exactly how long the exposure time should be, the best answer we can give you is "It all depends on the amount of light." Actually, it would be impossible to list specific information on exposure time for all the countless opportunities that exist for taking picture^ out of doors at night. Exposure time may well run anywhere from three or four seconds to several minutes, all depending on the light. You'll just have to use your judgment and shoot several pictures at different lengths of exposure. WHY BREAKFAST IS IMPORTANT Good food is essential to health, ! but it is astonishing how many ; persons omit certain foods or even skip meals to reduce expenses. ' Considering health from the standpoint of dollars and cents is not economy; the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society states in Health Talk. The body needs fuel, just as a furnace or" an gutomobile -or any other source of power. In the machinery of the body, food fuel is converted and distributed among the organs, to maintain a normal state of health. Breakfast is therefore important. Why? Because ordinarily, at this meal the body has been without food for eight or ten hours, the^ longest interval be* tween meals.* An adequate breakfast restores the energy level needed to carry out the day's work with efficiency. It prevents mid-morning fatigue and maintain a high level of productivity during the morning hpurs. In children, breakfast should supplV every element necessary for good nutrition as well as provide for growth and energy. Ripe or cooked fruit or fruit juice; hot or cold 'cereal with milk, toast, bread or rolls with margarine or butter; and a substantial dish such as bacon and eggs, plus a glass or two of milk, should be included. For the adult whose daily activities do not call for great energy, fruit, toast or rolls and a beverage will frequently suffice, particularly if the noon meal is balanced. Persons engaged in physical labor, however, require a heavier meal, including eggs or meat or some other hot dish, such as potatoes. This is in addition.,to fruit, cereal, bread and beverage. With the high cost of living Steadily going higher, and suggestions for economy of food persistently being recoriimended, it is well to remember that a good functioning healthy body is the one unit that can achieve and maintain that economy. The farm* er must have a healthy body to manage his farm. It is he who provides food for the world. The executive in the office must have a healthy body to direct tije many activities that keep this machinery intact. And the child must have a healthy body to form the pattern of the world of tomorrow.' Breakfast is -a well chosen word. Breaking the fast after hours of sle^p is important. During sleep the body is at rest physically, but some energy is still being consumed. And new energy must be provided for the day's work ahead. This cannot be done on one or two meals. It is the distributed daily intake of food that keeps the body balanced. A body poorly nourished is like an automobile without gasoline. Unless your doctor orders it, don't cut down on your food. Let a physical examination determine the state of $our health--then eat your meals accordingly. cms ALFA FOR ARTHRITIS?

SOFT WATER WEEK The hard water problem of American housewives would be worse if they had to wash clothes with water from the Dead Sea. This, the hardest water in the world, is 950 times as hard as the average water hardness in the United States. But there still is plenty of trouble in home laundries, kitchens and baths due to the effects of water hardness --enough to warrant a National Soft Water Week, Sept. 15-23. DRIVE WITH CARE! We Invite You To Visit Us In Our New Office Located In The Nye Bldg. LET'S PLAY BAIL! Baseball, that is. You can play this version of the gama anywhere --rain or shine--and you don't need much equipment either. Just assemble a few decks of playing cards and you're ready to play "Baseball W i t h Cards." This is a game of chance in which the v a r i o u s plays of a b a s e b a l l , game are d e t e r - mined by turning cards up froin the pack. The game is ideal for two but can be played by more, the greatest number of runs winning in any case. To help you keep track of the position of the runners, draw a baseball diamond on a sheet of paper and use tokens to represent the players. Now shuffle together three full decks of 52 cards each (two packs or even one may be used but three is preferable). Take out two aces of Spades, two Aces of Hearts, two deuces of clubs and one deuce of diamonds. On» player then turns cards from the top of the pack, scoring hits, runs and outs according to the following schedule: Ace of Spades--home run Act of Hearts--three base hit Ace of Diamonds or Clubsdouble, runners score King of Spades--double, runners advance two bases Other Kings--single, runners ad* vance two bases /- Any Queen--single, runners aa« vance one base Jack of Spades or Hearts--base on balls Jack of Diamonds or Clubs--ball, runner nearest first base steals . a base unless occupied Any 10 or 9--ball s Any 8, 7 or 6--strike - Anyr 5--batter „outr runners advance one base Any 4--batter out, runners hold bases Any 3--out; with any nian on base, runner furthest advanced is out, batter safe at first base Spade deuce--strikeout Heart deuce--double play, provided runner is on base Diamond deuce--batter and all runners out Club deuce--triple pjay, retires side even with no man on base. If you use only one deck of cards, you should count the Ace of Spades as only a chance for a home run. The batter then turns'up another card and if it is a face card, the home run counts. Without this rule, there would be too many home runs Using only one deck of cards. A nine inning game played with this schedule usually winds up in a final score of 9-7 or thereabouts --ideal for a home game..So choose up sides and "let's play ball"--with cards.
