for himself fot the year It often
enables him 10 spot weaknesses
in his management and to take
steps to eouect them. Awards

“Mail Early for Christmas” cam

“On the calendar it’s less than
a month away, but here in the
post office it’s Christmas today—
and every day until December
25,” they said. Extra mail carriers
and office help have been secur
ed, the deliveiy trucks serviced,
and in fact everything is ready
for the mammoth flood of Christ
mas mail that is expected to
smash all records-
post off.ee has already dis
patched a tremendous quantity
of gift pacagcs headed for mem
bers of the mined forces over
seas In the United States, smart
people are now mailing gifts to
friends and relatives living in
other states
Calls On Housewives
Postmasters especially call on
housewives to help in his effort
to deliver eveiy package and
Christmas card before December
25. “The lady of the house,” he
emphasized “is really in charge
of each family’s Christmas mail
■ng program. She selects the
Christmas cards, buys most of
the gifts and sees to it that t/e
mailing list of friends and loved
ones is up to date,
“Actually, success in having
all Christmas gifts and greeting
cards delivered on time is large
ly a matter of advance planning
and preparation which should
be done this week,” Postmasters

Dairy Herds in (
Pennsylvania Up 1
Sum Now 960,000
HARRISBURG -r- The number
of cows in dmy herds through
out Pennsylvania is up some 12,->
000 over a year ago, to a total
of around 960,000.
It was no ic-d that while cow
numbers were the main factor in
increased production of milk
during the past month, fauly
good, grazing prevailed in some
southern areas of the state-
For the second straight month,
the hay/situation has shown im
provement and the limited
grazing conditions helped con
serve hay supplies which are
considered fauly adequate in
general-
During October‘-dairy farmeis
were averaging $4.85 per Jjun-,
dred lbs for milk at wholesale,
up about 25 cents, compared
with a month, eailier and 11 cents
higher than a year ago.
Milk cows were averaging
about $lB5 pc” head, according
to the Department of Agriculture
or about the same as a month
earlier and year previous
Oil the other land, production
,of milk per cow averaged 535,
lbs, as. compared with 542 in the
previous month and 506 lbs a
year ago. Dairy feed prices were
changed little from a month ago,
although perhaps slightly lower.
