A person buys a home appli ance on time and pays the bank in monthly installments. He falls behind in his payments and the bank threatens legal action. Can the bank do more than repossess the appliance? A W. K. A. The legal remedies available to the-bank would depend strictly on terms of the agreement made between the bank, as the lender and the purchaser of the appli ance, as the borrower. Generally, agreements of this type provide not only that the bank, or -other lending agency, may repossess, the appliance after default, but that it may also enter judgment against the purchaser for any un paid balance, interest and/or the costs of repossession and enforce ment of the judgment. The most serious problem arises where the appliance is allegedly defective, and the purchaser attempts to avoid payment on this ground without giving the seller propei and timely notice of the alleged defect.

A. A real estate agent is not a necessary party to the convey ance of real property His serv ices are primarily needed to pro cure a buyer, often this a very worthwhile and valuable service, and thereafter he generally' as sists with the mechanics of trans ferring the property arrang ing for the settlement, assisting with financing and the like. However, since you already have a buyer, your only problems are, preparing a sales agreement and/or a deed, and arranging a satisfactory settlement and trans fer of the property An attorney would be best qualified to ren der the assistance you need. In fact, even where a sale is pro cured by a real estate agent, he usually places these matters in the hands of an attorney for completion. U V * Q I, have been parted from my wife for over nine months, and during our estrangement she became pregnant Will I have to support the baby or will I have to support under the law’ A. Public policy presumes a child born to a married woman « A husband is re quired under our law to support all children born of his wife, un less he can establish non-access by independent evidence. This means that he must prove that he was absent from the jurisdic tion for a sufficient continuous length of time to positively ex clude the possibility of his pa ternity. This evidence must not be adduced primarily from third persons or records, since a moth er is not permitted to testify as to non-access and the putative father’s testimony would have to be* corroborated to be effec tive.

SOS-3752 New Shade Trees Being Developed By Arboretum A number of new and highly desirable shade and ornamental trees for home and street plant ing are now being developed m nurseries and botanical gardens throughout the country* says Dr Henry T Skinner, director of the U S. Department of Agriculture’s National Arboretum in Washing ton, D C Many of the excellent shade and ornamental trees now on the market are limited in use because of their special soil and climate demands For example, trees such as the honeylocust and English hawthorn do well through a broad .section of the Midwest but do not thrive in some sections of the East Flowering dogwood, a popu lar small ornamental, flourishes in acid soil but will not grow un der alkaline conditions or in heavily compacted clays.„ '■New controlled breeding pro grams promise to produce more adaptable trees for the future. One of the first products of such a planned tree-breeding program at the National Arboretum is a narrow, pyramidal Hybrid of red and silver maple, which scientists hope -will carry the good quali ties of both Other sources of new trees in clude imports from foreign coun tries, selections from botanical collections m this country, chance seedlings, and chance sports which sometimes develop on a single branch of an otherwise normal tree. New tree selections now being propagated from these sources include lower growing maples, columnar cherry, globe linden, golden sycamore, and eu coynmia (a hardy rubber tree). Short supply of propagating material slows down the increase of these new tree selections. It will be several years before any of them are available. In many cases, a new selection is often represented by a single tree, so that in any one year there are only a few cuttings or grafting scions available. Some trees will not reproduce true to form from seed. Others produce seed which does not germinate Even when seed propagation works, it takes at least four or five years to produce a salable tree. Now Is Time W.W. To Clip Hoofs Of Heifers Every farmer is busy with many spring jobs, and dairymen are no axception, says Assistant Counity Agent Victor Plastow. Because heifers are not an ac tual source of monthly income, they are often the first to be ne glected. One of the most neglected jobs is that of hoof care. During the winter heifers’ feet grow much faster than they are worn off. Generally heifers are stabled on manure packs until they are turned out on pasture, and Plas tow warns that it can be harm ful if they are turned on pasture,, without having this condition corrected. Cattle with long hoofs carry most of their weight hack on their heels. This puts added strain on ithe hock and pastern joints By properly trimming these long hoofs before the add ed activity of the pasture season, this strain on the feet and legs can be lessoned. This will allow the animal to move about more freely and be more comfortable on pasture. In trimming these hoofs, Plas tow suggests first trimming back the long points of the hoof even ly. Then shape the foot by using hoof nippers, a sharp knife, or wood chisel and mallet. Smooth off the underside of the foot so the animal is standing flat on her foot and carrying her weight well on her toes This may be done by picking up the foot while working on the sole, or by throwing the animal and work ing on the sole of the foot while she is lying down. By either method, ia sharp knife or wood chisel or a small electric sander may be used to level the sole of the foot. Neppco Expects High Egg Prices In Fall, Winter TRENTON, N J. Consumers can look forward to paying sharp ly higher prices for eggs this fall and winter unless there is a re versal of current production plans by Northeastern poultrymen. Harassed by low prices during the past three months, poultry growers have slashed fall egg flock plans by close to 30 per cent, according to Harold P. Kla hold, president of the Northeast ern Poultry Producers Council. In a report last week to pro ducer-members in 14 states, Kla hold warned that the number of baby chicks sold so far this spring is dangerously low. These are the. chicks that six months from now will be producing the bulk of the eggs that reach city markets.^ “We know from hard experi ence,” Klahold declared, “that un ually high egg prices frequently work to the detriment of the poul try farmer First of all, they tend to discourage egg consumption; secondly, they often spur farmers to over-produce in the year fol lowing. “This ‘boom and bust’ cycle is an occurrence that benefits nei ther farmer nor consumer.” DEPENDABLE SERVICE GARBER OIL COMPANY Mt.

HA 6-9301 CLARENCE RUTT NEW HOLLAND Pb- EU 4-8797 Earlier this year, poultry indus try officials suggested that grow ers trim their chick buying plans about per cent in order to bring egg supplies and demand closer in balance. reports from the U S. Department of Agri culture indicate that the cuts have gone far deeper than that. > In January and February, sales of egg type chicks averaged about 26 per cent under the same two months of last year. The number of eggs* in incubators on March 1 was down a like amount from 1956 “Although April and May are still months of heavy chick buy ing, there will have to be a sharp switch in present trends if we are to have adequate supplies of eggs this fall and winter,” Kla hold reported. The number of hens currently on farms is only slightly lower than it was last year at this time, a condition which accounts for the current egg surplus situation. But by fall, most of these hens will have been marketed for meat, or will be out of production. In broilers and turkeys, said the NEPPCO official, production plans point to rather plentiful supplies through this fall at reas onable prices to consumers If you want easy starting, easy mowing . . . low cost per cut ting, this is your kind of mow er' Cast construction 'keeps cutter blade and reel in perfect alignment.
