':• Some people love dogs, some people adore cats. We have no Wish to take sides in the friendly feud between .30,000,000 cat •owners' and 25,000,000 dog owners, and we've, therefore, decided to discuss both feline and canine gets as subjects for your camera. When you set out to picture the family pet, the procedure calls for much the same technique as you use when you snap the youngest menjbers of the .household "in action". Having selected the time, the place and the general background, yoil must be ready with camera, lights and film to shoot at a moment's notice. "Watchful waiting" is the byword--which means you'll need plenty of patience to capture the best possible shots of your favorite animal. Don't, expect Towser or Tabby to hold a pose while you jiggle and juggle with lights or camera angles. Because these four-legged subjects are often on the small side, ydu should come down to their level when you shoot. Plan to ude a low camera angle^-and a close-up attachment; too, if your pet is a mere pup or kitten. ~ If you want to get things under way without too muoh, delay, be prepared with several simple props. A bowl of milk or a ball of string Or crumpled cellophane for your, cat--a biscuit,'bone, or rubber ball for the pup--will yield dozens of wonderful picture possibilities. Action* changing expressions and humorous antics-- you can expect these to follow in quick succession. So quick on the shutter--and shoot a whole series of pictures to be sure of getting some excellent shots even if a few fumbles occur. - - Activities of animals just naturally make fine "human interest" pictures. And as such, they should tell their story without benefit of caption or commentary. Suppose, for example, you're snapping a young kitten. Much of its appeal lies in it? tiny size, its endless curiosity and its constant discovery of the great big beautiful world around it. That's why we "get the message" from shots that snow the kitten discovering the delicious warmth of a radiator, or having its ,-first taste thrill from a velvet-smooth vanilla ice-cream tonei. . --John Van Guilder JPWABM nbw» WET WEATHEB CAUSES MUCH LOSS OF CORN Unfavorable weather during the fall points to a rapid disappearance of the 1957 corn crop. Conditions at harvest time were bad over large areas of Illinois, but they were even worse in Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Damp, rainy weather before and at harvest time prevented proper drying of the crop, caused heavy field losses and stimulated rapid use, Heavy snow in November greatly aggravated conditions in the western corn belt. A review of conditions in the various states will help to show the whole picture. Illinois. The corn crop was planted late, especially iri the southern half of the state. It made rapid progress to about Sept. 1. Warm, dry, windy days were needed to dry the crop, but they did not -come. In the northern half of the state, harvest was finished without excessive ^ delay, but a large part of the corn contained too much moisture to keep normally in storage. In the sooth, nearly half of the crop was still in the field on Dec. 1. Indiana. Three-fourths of the crop in the northern part of the state was still unharvested on Nov. 1. Five weeks later an official report said, "Farmers leaving corn in the field, hoping for drying weather." Ohio. On Dec. 1, one-fifth of the corn crop was still in the field. "Keeping qualities of some of harvested crop in doubt, due to too high moisture." Iowa. One-fourth of the wop was unharvested as late as Dec. 7. "Moisture content- still quite high and some higher moisture .than prior to the heavy snow in November." .. Nebraska. By .Nov. .23, threefifths of com crop had not been harvested. "Most grain (including sorghums) Still too wet to store safely "and all availaW^jJryers in use."' Minnesota. As late as Nov. 23. |5 percent of the coin crop was still in the field On Dec. 7 moisture content of much corn was too high for safe storage. - Missouri. On Nov. 23, about 30 percent of the crop had not been harvested. Fields were muddy. Gorn was wet. Tire unfavorable weather greatly delayed harvest. . Field losses have been large.1 The high moisture content tended to make some of the crop both unstorable artd practically unsalable. Price discounts amounted to more than 50, cents a bushel in some cases. High moisure corn is not eligible for price support. Some of the corn that does qualify for price support may be too wet for further stora'ge next summer. The large amount of wet corn Is stimulating extra feeding of hogs and cattle. It sepms quite possible that this extra feeding, plus large field losses and some crib losses, might push total disappearance 2 percent over that of last year. If so, there would be no addition to the corn carry-over for the first time in five years. Earlier last Jfa'I it was believed that large supplies of other feed grains would reduce the use of corn. Since that time unfavorable weather delayed the harvest of sorghum grain and caused severe field losses. Now it is doubtful that Jarge supplies of Ihg other feed grains will prevent an increase in the disappearance of corn.

SCIENCE MUSEUM'S GUESTS CORING 'S7 INCREASED TO 2.366.681 Chicago's Museum of Science and,Industry, for years, a leader among the world's great museums in visitor attendance, was host to 2,366,681 guests during 1957, an .increase Of more than 5 per cent over the preceding year. Indicative of its widespread popularity with students, tourists, vacationists and travelers from other parts of the country and abroad, its 1957 guest book included 7,- 154 organized tour parties • of which more-than a hundred came from foreign countries. Included among these organized pilgrimages from-outside Illinois were groups of all ages and interests, from top level leaders in government, science," industry and education -to grade school arid high school delegations.* Many of these school groups journeyed to the Museum by school bus from communities as far east as western New York state and as far west as Colorado. A one-day study last August of all visitors entering the Museum gave convincing proof of the widespread character of its annual audiences. To learn where its visitors came from the Museum's staff individually questioned 7,- 343 of them in a single day. This one day's sampling showed ofr79acitla* tevfta aiyf villages In tarty-fiv* of oar own forty-eight states and also 141 travelers from forty-seven communities in twenty-four foreign countries; Of all those interviewed, 57.6 per cent were from points outside the" Chicago metropolitan area; and 42:4 per cent from the city and suburbs. . In a review of. the Museum's an-, nual report which was compiled by'Daniel M. McMaster, its director, Major Lenox R. Lohr, the Museum's president, attributed much of the Museum's popularity among all types of people to the greatly expanded public interest in the physical sciences arid its technological applications during 1957. , "Whether we talk, about Sputnik or not, the fact is that as people of all ages, and particularly our 'teen-agers, have become more concerned about such things as space travel, adaptations of a- •tomic energy for industry, and greater emphasis on technical education, our own exhibits have drawn a steadily increasing number of visitors. Equally indicative of the times, visitors are spending more time studying our various displays," he said, reporting that the average person inspecting the various exhibits now remains in the Museum more than three hours.
