Incidentally, by reducing the size of paper currency by one-third it is estimated that the Treasury has saved about eighteen nj^llion dollars ill cost of paper, ink, labor and storage space in the last ten years. However, with spending going on at the rate of more than nine billion dollars a year, such a saving is only a drop in the Treasury bucket. BETTER AUTO ENGINES The swing of popular favor in the selection of automobiles is going to be back to improved performance, predicts Charles B. Bohn, president of the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation, who is in a position be in close touch with engineering development in the industry. Lighter materials, produced largely through pioneering in the aviation f.eld, permit reduction in the weight of vehicles, yet increase power output, Bohn declares. As a net result of these improvements, powerplants will have a frreat- ' er output due to the fact that compressions will be higher, reciprocating parts lighter and design more effi-| Such Injustice - cient.

A. cow as. compared to the average McHenry county cow, according to an analysis reported by Kenneth Goldy, tester in the No. 2 Dairy Herd Improvement Association. The total income per D. H. I. A. cow was $154.69, while the average cow in the county produced a gross of $128.82. It cost $5.25 morg to feed the average D. H. I. A. cow with a production of 8922 pounds of milk and 326 pounds fat than was spent on the average of I 45,900 cows in McHenry county with an average production of approximately 6,900 pounds of milk and 240 pounds of fat. With the advantage of seventy-si* pounds more butterfat per D. H. I. A. cow their owners had only $25.87 per cow for farm family living expenses, savings and education while the ownir of the average cow in the county lacked $2.18 per cow of paying for all farm expenses without considering family living expenses. On the basis of 1938 D.H.I. A. figures approximately three out of every ten cows in McHenry county, an ea» timated 13,541, are making little or no net return above all cost of milk production. t In most instances the culling of a few low producing cows, plus better feeding of the remainder will result m approximately the same amount of milk and gross income with somewhat lower expenses. f y On the basis of the above assumption, seventeen average D.H.I. A. cows would produce about the same amount of milk as twenty average cows in the count and would return $281 more towards an adequate standard of farm living.

Better farm records can be kept with the camera. One clear picture ie worth many words--and record pictures such as this are easy to take. Informative and convincing than a written description. Pictures are easier and quicker, too. For example, see how long It takes you to write a description of your prize bull that is as good as one clear picture-- which you could snap in short order! You don't have to be a skilled photographer to take good farm record pictures, and any well-made, moderately-priced camera will do the job. A focusing model is most convenient, as with It both "closeups" and general views can be taken easily. An anastigmat lens is preferable, hut it need not be an extremely fast one. The camera should take pictures of convenient else for viewing. Excellent bookie's on farm photography are now available through 4-H club sources. The best of these booklets not only give easily-understood instruction on photography, but also provide detailed advice on how to keep picture records of certain types--such as livestock and crop growth. They are extremely useful for the beginner at farm photography. Start now to keep picture records of your farm operations, supplementing your written records. They're Inexpensive, easy to maintain, and have real value--both currettt wj future. John van Guttler CAMERAS as farm implements-- that seems a novel idea. And yet, on any progressive farm, a camera can render unique, highly practical service. I am not referring to snapshots for yfebasure. Of course, everybody knows there are innumerable snapshot opportunities on a farm--beautiful sunset shots across the tilled fields, pleasant pasture scenes with stock grasing or drinking from a cool stream, story-tellers snaps each as a hen mothering her brood-- all sorts of chances, at any season. But there's another aspect to farm photography--the extremely valuable, practical aspect of keeping farm records. ' Clear, detailed records play an Important part in farm operations today, and usually pictures can .sake these records even more clear 'and serviceable. If your lower sixty 'acres makes a good crop this year, j a picture will prove It. If hall damages the roof of your new barn, a picture can show the exact nature and extent of the damage. Records Of livestock growth, new building construction, crops and crop diseases, planting and harvesting operations, new equipment--all these, •ad more, can well be kept In picture form. Such records are especially useful leoause a good clear picture Is mora
