whose products-tie in quite na
turally with dggs.
Retail stores across the nation,
both chains and independents,
will cooperate in influfencing con
sumers to eat more eggs. So will
poultry processors, egg carton
manufacturers and other industry
people in a key position to fea
ture the “eggs belong” theme.
Hundreds of food advertisers
have received a letter from PENB.
urging them to tie in with this
gigantic campaign to sell extra
eggs. Accompanying the letter
was a pre-print of the PENB “ad”
in the Post and a merchandising
piece describing the many publi
city activities being conducted
on behalf of eggs in March.
• State PENB committees in the
48 states are going “All-tout” to
make both the egg check-off and
the March Egg Month publicity
campaigns succeed.
Outstanding magazines and
newspaper news syndicates are
cooperating in publicizing egg
recipes in March Among them
are Parade magazine, American
Weekly, Family Weekly, This
Week, Everywoman’s Magazine,
Seventeen, King Features and
General Features.
In addition such devices as 22
by 34 inch posters, three inch
square window stickers, leaflets,
postage meter plates, and drop
in slugs for newspapers are be
ing made available.
Feed and water and con
tainers, contaminated by the pus
are considered by veterinarians
to be the means of spreading
jowl abcesses in a herd of swine.

Alfalfa Will
Outproduce Red Clover
Tests this year show that alfal
fa will outproduce red clover by
half a ton an acre.
This is significant because red
clover has long been a favorite
in a corn, oats, wheat rotation.
However in most cases when
fields are adapted to grow alfalfa,
this crop is better than red clov
er, for alfalfa is fully .capable of
outyielding red clover in the first
cutting year by as much as 60
per cent.

However, Kelly adds, a farmer
entitled to benefits under the
Social Security System, if his in
come is less than $4OO, under
certain circumstances, may elect
to pay the self-employment tax
and come under the Social Secur
ity System, if he files his return
on the cash basis. The Farmers’
Tax Guide will explain this in de
tail.
Those with incomes of less than
$4OO may take one of the alterna
tives under the Social Security
Act: file a Schedule 1040 F (or
Schedule C) and form 1040, and
pay the self employment tax,
even though no tax is paid
