For some it will be sad and for many it will be joyful. Let us all go to the church of our faiths "on Christmas and give thanks for what we have and pffer up our prayers for our loved ones here and those Wiio have left us. Even though Christmas has been mainly commercialized let us all remember that it is Christ's birthday that we are celebrating. .God Bless You All.

Get Well Wishes Very glad ta- see ' Marvin Mulesk-i qack home, and hope his recovery will be a swift one. Millie Mondl over in Pistakoc Terrace thought she would be hack at work last week, but whon she went to- the doctor she found out her ankle was broken so now she is wearing a cast which has to stay on for a few weeks. Those of you who have some time to spare, how about dropping in on Millie and help her pass the slow moving time. May you all have a wonderful holiday, and don't forget to let me know how you spent it. the Want Ads This business of "farming is i definitely a seasonal operation, j but with modern techniques it j is becoming less so in many im- ! port ant phases. J Livestock marketing, J*>nce highly seasonal, is, slowly* moving out of this category -- • thanks to modern . feed technology with its year-'round I supply of high energy, nutri- I tion feeds, and thanl^s also to 1 modern and progressive management policies. , j The shift away from the tra- ! ditional fall and spring farrowling of'hogs, and the attendant ; heavy marketings during these seasons, could become one of the most important trends yet in establishing some rationality,. to-..t.his^ -business of Selling | hogs. - < j It is hard to conceive of how" i the ' tradition" ever got started in the first place, inasmuch as the very thing that justifies . farrowing in the fall finds it i defeated in the- spring. j The seasons, both from the i standpoint of climate and feed supplies, are 180 degrees opposed to each other. It probably got its start from the theory that it was uneconomic to carry hogs on feed through the winter. Then, in the two-cyelea- year hog operation, spring just happened to fall six months later when fall litters reached "market weight. The only sure thing hog producers could depend on with this system was the lowest possible price when their hogs were sold. * And consumers could depend on high pork, prices in ther summer. Rut the combination of mod- | ern feed additives and supple-- (ments, improved storage facilities on the farm and at the j elevator and surplus produc* j tion is changing this. ! We are getting away from • the peaks and valleys fn price ; and we are getting a fairly constant supply of pork at term- [inal markets throughout the year. The^ewest trend1 in hog marketing is^a^eview of grading starjdards. The standards ! of quality, and thus the basis i for establishing a price to the : producer has been confusing, i There are U.S. grade stand- 1 ards. plant grade standards ; and buyer standards. The U. S. standards, mostiv commonly accepted, s'eem to" fall short in that the so-called : "meat-type" hog doesn't receive the premium due it. • There is no price above No. 1 grade. In many cases.'producers have done much better on a "grade and yield" basis, where producer sells to a private buyer on the basis of carcass yield. It is not uncommon for his price to beat the No. 1 top by two to three, dollars a hundred weight., £ L i v e s t o c k s p e c i a l i s t s S a y - there should be more foilow-up cheeks on live and carcass grading. Livestock shows have revealed a large variation in the two types of .grading: Grand champions on the hoof have finished out of the money completely on carcass grading -- much to the embarrassment of enfbattied-judges. ^ The bedroom js the most dangerous room in the home, according to^fhe National Safe-1 ty Council.
