Disease is 'slowly, but surely being eliminated, but perhaps to counteract the lower death rate from disease, the automobile was invented. As a result of the same in 1958. Reef output dropped by an amount equal to 7 pounds per person in 1951 and 1958. Prices of choice steers reached an all-time monthly high of $36.93 in the spring of 1951, and a monthly high of $29.90 in the spring of 1958. In both years prices were lower in the fall than in the spring. Remember 1952? What happened to cattle in 1952?

Mr. Powers was a native of the Crystal Lake community, where he was born Jan. 5, 1892. Sudden changes in the cations fed to dairy cows often result in serious reduction in daily milk production. The problem is worse when abrupt shifts have been made from corn silage and hay to foragecap silage according to an Ohio Experiment Station study. Manv farmers are using both If this is necessary, however, use corn and cob meal (150 lbs. per ton) to preserve the forage crop silage. 4. Use a early-out forage for silage-making.

Winners this year will be notified that they have been chosen early in March. Last year the commission awarded 2,160 scholarships and winners enrolled in sixty- Illinois colleges. Legislation provides that by 1961 the yearly appropriation will be $2,400,000, plus a sum for administrative expenses. It specifies that there shall be two of the scholarships for residents of each senatorial district and two for residents of each representative ditsrict each year.
