The farmers are m distress
throughout the area. It is doubt
ful if ijmch corn will be planted
this season in the Cornbelt areas
as it is believed the season will
b-' too late by the time the
ground can be prepared even
should the rainfall stop now.
Wheat lands are also 'damaged
by rains and flood waters. Many
other crop yields will be reduced
by the extreme rainy weather.

Farm and Home Day
(Continued from Page One)
Dwight Younkm of Penn
State was on hand to explain the
use of silage and forage in a
swine feeding program. This pro
gram, recently developed at
Penn State, has shown that sows
on silage until farrowing time
produce more pigs at lower
cost and handle the litter bet
ter after farrowing.
The ladies were not forgotten

USDA Issues
New Report
On Stamps
A second report relating to the
economic aspects of the use of
trading stamps was issued today
by the USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service.
This report deals primarily
with the effect on consumers of
the widespread use of trading
stamps by grocers. Included in
the publication are results from
recent surveys on the attitude of
consumers toward trading stamps
who saves stamps and why, con
sumers ideas about the money
value of filled stamp books, and
their reaction to redemption mer
chandise,
The first report, Marketing Re
search Report No. 147 “Do Trad
ing Stamps Affect Food Costs 9
was issued in January and empha
sized chiefly the basic character
tics of the trading stamp plans
and some of the economic pro
blem facing retailers and consum
ers as a result of their widespread
use.
In the most recent study, re
searchers found that consumers
differed widley in their feelings
regarding trading stamps. Some
showed great enthusiasm in
their collection of stamps, others
were antagonistic to the plan, and

SILAGE PRESERVATIVE
Concentrated Feed Value Don’t buy expensive
water. The total disgestible nutrient content of ordin
ary molasses is about 54%. Dextropep contains ap
proximately 80 % total disgestible nutrients, or 48%
more energy. |
Payability Dextropep is sweet, granular and free
from dustiness. It makes feeds taste better, increases
consumption of feed and water.
Convenience Dextropep is dry and free-flowing for
easy mixing. The 50-lb. bag is moisture and rat resist
ant and easy to stack.
Grass Silage
Legume Silage 50 lbs.
Dextropep ferments to the proper acidity in
about 48 hours and retards spoilage, adds
real feed value, and reduces excessive mots*
ture. Corn oil meal will absorb six parts
water and reduce loss of valuable nutrients.

still others were indifferent to it.
Some accepted it as a necessary
part of the merchandising scheme
while athers attempted to have it
legislated out of existence.
Some consumers felt that they
were getting something for noth
ing, others reasoned that any
form of promotion which adds to
the cost of doing business neces
sarily increase the cost of food. At
any rate, it was estimated that
about 60 per cent of all shoppers
in the United States were saving
stamps.
