'57 LAMB CROP IS REPORTED 3 ^ERCENT SMALLER The 1957 lamb crop totalled 19,- 800,000 head, 3 percent less than the number raised last year. This year's lamb crop is about equal to.the ten-year, 1946-55, average. Over half of the reduction in the lamb crop occurred in Texas, where drouth last year forced reductions in breeding flocks. The Texas lamb crop is estimated at , A238.000 head, 11 percent below a year earlier. Altogether the eleven western states are raising 12,100,- 000 lambs, 5 percent fewer than in 1956. The thirty-five native states are raising an estimated 7.697,000 lambs this year, 1 percent more than last year and the largest number since 1946. Two features of the lamb situation are worth special note: ^ 1. A larger than usual proportion of the western lambs may be Teady for slaughter when coming off the ranges. This would tend to hold down prices of slaughter lambs this fall. It would also reduce the supply of feeder lambs. 2. Texas and other former drouth areas may provide a strong demand for ewe lambs for flock replacements. This, too, will restrict the supply of feeder lambs. • The situation seems to add up to a small and high prices for feeder lambs this fall. This may be followed by a greater than normal seasonal price advance from fall to spring. Wool. The nation's 1957 production of shorn wool is estimated at 226 million pounds. This is 3 percent less than last year and 4 percent less than the ten-year leverage. Recent prices of wool were 12 to 14 cents a pound higher than those of a year earlier. The higher prices will reduce the cost of the wool program to the U. S. Treasury, but it will not increase farmers' income. Wool payments to farmers will be reduced, according to law, to keep total returns to farmers the same as in 1956. L. H." Simerl •3L Dept. of Ag. Econ.

WIDE POPULARITY OF MUSEUM EVIDENT BY AUGUST RECORD Its wide popularity with summer tourists from all over the globe is graphically portrayed in a survey just made by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which during August attracted 327,378 visitors :-- an increase of 69,095 or 27 per cent over the same month a year previous. To learn where these visitors came from, the Museum's staff individually questioned 7.484 of them on a single day, Aug. 12. The resultant tabulation shows that they hailed not only from forty-five of the forty-eight states, plus the District of Columbia, Canal Zone and Hawaii; hut from twenty-four foreign nations as well. Indicative of the scattered points of origin of this great vacationist influx, the visitors on the one day under study were residents df 790 cities, towns and villages from California to Maine and from Washington to Florida, plus forty-seven communities in foreign nations. The only three American states not represented were Delaware, New Hampshire and Wyoming. That native Chicagoans run a decided second to out-of-towners in visiting such widely known institutions in their own home town as the Museum of Science and Industry was shown in the fact that 57.6 per cent of the day's visitors were from points outside the Chicago metropolitan area. Those from the city and its suburbs totalled 42.4 per cent. Just how far these vacation guests of Chicago journeyed to reach here is reflected in a tabulation of the distances between the museum and their home communities. Excluding those from the Chicagoland area, as well as those from foreign countries, the visitors from other sections of the United States, on the day under study, were from points averaging 488 miles away. Their combined journeys to reach Chicago from their scattered places of residence represented a total of 2,078,890 miles of travel. Typical of the wide range of states contributing heavily to the Museum's guest list on the survey day, and the numbers of visitors and communities represented byeach were: Indiana, 534 visitors from 59 communities; Wisconsin, 318 visitors from 37 communities: New York, 171 visitors from 34 communities; California, 140 visitors from 21. communities; and Pennsylvania, 107 visitors from 28 communities. As might be expected, the largest out-of-town registration was that made up of the 701 visitors from 82 downstate Illinois communities. The foreign countries represented on the survey day, and the numbers of visitors supplied by each were: Brazil (3); Canada (75); Chile (5); Columbia (3): England (8); France (5); Germany (8); Greece (3); Ghana (1); Israel (2);,Italy (1); Japan (2); Marianas Islands (2); Mexico (6): Netherlands (1); Norway (20); Panama (1); Peru (1); Russia (1); Scotland (3); Sweden (4); Spain (1); and Thailand (1).

HEALTH TALK GOOD SLEEP "Oh, for a good night's deep!" How often have you heard the remark and, indeed, made it yourself? Why? Because you arose from bed feeling tired, restless and full of tension, and feeling too, perhaps, you hadn't had any rest at all. How much sleep should you have? It varies in individuals, but an average of eight hours is a good yardstick, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in HEALTH TALK. What is sleep? The dictionary defines it as that period* of rest! for the body and mind, during which volition arid consciousness are in partial or complete abeyance and the bodily functions partially 'suspended. While the required hours of sleep vary in individiiMlS, the rest is essential to good health. Some persons fare very well on a few hours of sleep, while others require more than the average eight. The type of sleep also plays a role in the amount of rest. A restless sleep, interrupted frequently by fitful periods of wakening, is not conducive to ' good repair of body tissues. A good, sound sleep provides complete recovery from previous fatigue- Less than the conventional seven or eight hours of sleep proves, in most cases, wearing. The result is not only a haggard face but a strained disposition. There are many persons who, otherwise normal, believe they require more hours of sleep, anywhere from ten to twelve hours. As a rule, the healthy person who wants an unusual amount of slegjJns not suffering from mental exhaustion, but from lack of exercise and sluggish digestion. In fact, there are some authorities who believe that oversleeping is just as bad as overeating. Since sleep is essential to good health, giving the body opportunity to rest emotionally and physically, every effort should be made to induce body-building hours of slumber. Good sleeping habits should be established. Freeing the mind of all care and worry is one step. Problems cannot be solved by restless thrashing about in bed. A mind, refreshened by a quiet sleep can cope with the exigencies of everyday life with more logical application. Room temperature is important in sleep. A temperature that is too warm or too cold for the individual can be an obstacle. Fresh air is important, but this does not mean that the sleeping room should be exposed to cold blasts of winter temperatures. Bed clothing should be comfortable as should sleeping apparel. The type of sleeping garmet is an individual matter. Some persons like pajamas, for example, while others Qrefer to sleep "raw." Sleep inducers should be avoided. These are but crutches lor a normal pattern of sleejp. Many sleeping pills and powders, unless taken definitely und£r medical supervision, are habit-forming. The user depends on the sleep inducer for rest instead of seeking medical help to free him of his insomnia. Help yourself to a good night's sleep by training yourself to good sleeping habits. Then you can wonder \ tomorrow why you were so worried today. ts WHATIVER MAPPfcNEP TO ^ THAT OLPSAYING, 'MEN PONT MAKE PASSES AT SiRLS WHO WBAR ' GIA$S£S%?* Jut-- AMERICANS SPEND MORE MONEY ON CHEWING GUM THAN ON EYE-CARE, ACCORPINCa TO THE BETTER VISION INSTITUTE. 2' A FARMERS BYE WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY 0RUISEP WHEN A COW SPLIT HIS CONTACT LENS IN TWO WITH A THRUST OF HER HORN.
