% • PAGE 10-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1973 WHO HAD LAST LAUGH? - Fred Amour of Island Lake, local comedian and master of ceremonies for many club and civic affairs, recently had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan Winters, renowned comedian of stage, screen and T.V. fame. Amour, who is associated with a Chicago sales promotion agency, participated in a sales meeting presentation for the Hefty division of Mobil Chemical cor­ poration of New York at the Disneyland Hotel convention center in Anaheim, Calif. Winters was guest speaker for the occasion. Amour, at left, and winters are shown conversing after the luncheon part of the program. From The Farm CANCEL CERTIFICATION As of Jan. 13, it is no longer necessary to certify that cattle or sheep have been withdrawn from feed containing diethylstilbestrol (DES). .This action was taken because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare banned the use of DES in feed as of Jan. 1. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will continue its DES monitoring program. As in the past, any finding of DES residues will be turned over to FDA, which has legal jurisdiction over feed additive usage. GROWTH REGULATORS You can no longer feed stilbestrol. This includes sup­ plies bought before Jan. 1,1973. However, stilbestrol £an be implanted if it is done at least 120 days before slaughter date. Recent studies by Illinois and Ohio research groups show that stilbestrol implants may only be effective for a couple of months. If used properly, the implants have little chance of causing hormone residues in edible tissues. Two other implants, Ralgro and Synovex, produce ap­ proximately the same results as stilbestrol, but have dif­ ferent regulations on their usage. Regulations require that Ralgro not be used 65 days before slaughter and that Synovex not be used 60 days prior to slaughter. Depending on the product, stilbestrol implants pellets contain 12 to 15 milligrams of the drug. Steer calves can be given two of the pellets at the start of the growing period and then be reimplated with 30 or 36 milligrams for the last 120 to 150 days of the finishing period. Ralgro should be reim- planted about halfway through the feeding period if the calves will be around for at least 200 days. It is recommended to use Synovex for the last 60 to 150 days of the finishing period. Heifers can also be implanted but feeding MGA is another alternative for heifers. MGA suppresses heat periods in heifers and produces results similar to implanting. MGA must be withdrawn from feedlot use at least 48 hours before slaughter. When implanting heifers with stilbestrol, use no more than two pellets, and implant once about 120 to 150 days before the slaughter date. Heifers can be implanted with Ralgro or Synovex too with less chance of side reactions than with stilbestrol. FARM ANALYSIS SERVICE The Farm Business Farm Management association in Illinois had its beginning 46 years ago as an experiment. It has stood the test of time in periods of Repression and prosperity as a service to framers. It has given more dignity to agriculture and helped show that farming is a business that responds to sound management principles.

POTTING SOIL Normal gardening soil becomes too packed for best results with indoor plants. But mixing it with humus will give you a high quality potting soil. Your home supply of humus can be-peat moss, commercial potting soil, pulverized tree leaves or purlite. Mix your humus with equal parts of soil for best results. And apply a house-plant fertilizer at planting time to give your transplants a speedy start. PRUNING Pruning trees thins the branches, removes tree defects and allows more sunlight to reach your lawn. Some people prefer to completely remove mature trees that have not developed into beautiful landscape plants. • J ' \ Removal of a competing .tree planted close to others will allow betted development Of the surviving trees and of the lawn around them. MANAGEMENT IMPQRTANT Good farm management is more important than the tninor details of the lease in deter­ mining favorable earnings for both landlords and tenants. Farms with the higher returns had a higher acreage in corn, soybeans and feed grain diversion, less tillable acreage in hay and pasture, higher corn yields andhigher total value of crop production. These factors apparently brought about the differences in the landlord returns. However, tenants' returns were also higher on the farms where the landlords' returns were higher. The high-return landlords received less cash rent than did the lower earning group. Cash rent was only a small part of the expense for the tenant or return for the landowner. <O 1975 Gfrttrr Features In Our Time SMALL 8US/NESSES r GET A GLOBAL GR/P ON THE WORLP/ AMER/CAN BUS/NESSMEN̂ ARE EXPANP/NG THEIR EXPORTS BY USING PROVEN POMESTfC , TECHNIQUES...

VIA THE TELEPHONE UNEI Todoj/'s Health News Published by the American Medical Association Hormones and IQ . . . Recent research suggests a relationship between an excess of androgen, a male hormone, before birth and unusually high IQ's in later life. Dr. John Money, a John Hopkins University researcher, found that in a group of 53 females and 17 males who had experienced ab­ normally high levels of the hor­ mone in their bodies before birth, IQ's over 110 were measured in 60 percent of them, compared to the national average of 25 per­ cent; and nearly 13 percent of them scored over 130, compared to the 2.2 percent normally ex­ pected. The higher IQ's were found even though all the sub­ jects had had their normal hor­ monal balance restored with corti­ sone therapy. More extensive studies should now be carried out, Dr. Money says. For example, if it is shown that androgen in some way di­ rectly influences intelligence, the hormone might be used to pre­ vent suspected mental deficiencies in the unborn. t. * * Weather can hurt your heart ... Sudden changes in tempera­ ture, and temperature extremes generally, increase the inci­ dence of myocardial infarctions, a common form of heart attack- Studies show sharply increased incidence on the coldest days of the winter months and the wannest days of summer. In New York, Philadelphia, Cin­ cinnati, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Detroit, more attacks occur in the winter. Peak incidence in Southern cities--New Orleans and Dallas--are in the summer. The practical consequences of the findings are not yet entirely clear, but some heart specialists suggest that extreme changes in climate may well be inad­ visable for cardiac patients and the elderly. * » * A mother writes . . . "Although my 14-year-old daughter washes regularly and has tried a variety of soaps and astringents, she can't seem to eliminate blackheads from the lower part of her face." Fortunately the skin problems of adolescence are self-limiting and should subside by about 18 years of age. Thus, the object of treatment is to keep the problem under con­ trol so that no scarring takes place. Comedones (blackheads) can be treated by a comedone re­ mover. Also recommended is a 0.05 percent topical solution of tretinoin (vitamin A acid). How­ ever, since this may cause some initial skin irritation, treatment should be under medical super­ vision.
