FROM WHERE WE STAND -
Production Needs Promotion
“Chicken every Sunday” used to be
the standard of opulence by which we
measured the food wealth of a family.
Now many families have chicken m
one form or another much more often
than once a week. In the days 'when
chicken every Sunday was a luxury
there were no broiler contracts or
ready made package deals for the
farmer interested in growing many
thousands of birds in one batch. Neith
er were there poultry products readily
available to be bought with so few
minutes of work for a pound of meat.
But even with the readily available
product and the realitively small price
(compared with some other meats)
other factors have helped to make
chicken the popular food it it today.
To our office this, week came a no
tice of several new' poultry products,
or perhaps nearer the truth, new pre
paration and packaging ideas for poul
try products.
The report states that soon to be
available on grocer’s shelves will be
such delicacies as Frozen French
Toast, each slice using a half egg in
its manufacture, which can be popped
in the toaster and served up piping
hot without the usual messy job of
dipping the-toast in the milk and egg
mixture.
Along with the " traditional “hot
dog” in many a picnic basket this sum
mer will go "the chicken frank. Recent
ly developed, the new food is a low
f&t, 'high protein weiner which is ex
pected to be especially popular during
the hot weather months.
Ready made chicken loaf, chicken
salad, and a new chicken bologna with
a definite smoked flavor are just a few
of the other new products now avail
able ar soon to be in commercial pro
duction.
Eggs have also come in for their
share of glamour in the processing and
packaging department. Products now
available "or in the research stage in
clude frozen -whole ess's —not the kind

Washington this week is
going through the motions
of winding up the second ses
sion of the 86th Congress
much like a man whose mind
isn't on what he is doing.
Those who make tooth a
living and a profession of
politics are talking about
legislation, but thinking what
may happen in Los Angeles
and Chicago, at the national
political conventions, within
the next 30 days.
One question more than
any other keeps running thru
their minds - Does the coun
try want a “liberal or a “con
servative” President? There
is no agreement on what
either of the descriptions
mean.

publicans have the same
question, and the same prob
lem. Whether to nominate a
man bearing a “liberal ’ tag,
or one billed politically as a
“conservative.”
Nixon & Kennedy
Professional politicians in
the Republican party have
mddc Vice President Richard
Nixon, generally regarded as
a conservative, their favorite,
but they are not thoroughly
convinced the voters will
want a conservative Repub
lican in the White House
next January.
The same question, is caus
ing top Democratic political
leaders to ponder whether
Sen. John Kennedy, 'billed as
a liberal, is their best choice
as a presidential candidate
They must make their choice
ahead of the Republicans.
Republicans, just in case
they decide a “liberal” would
fare best at the polls next
November, are keeping New
York’s Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller in mind as a possible
nominee. Mr. Rockefeller,
evidently, is also thinking
along those lines.
With Democrats the -prob
lem is just the opposite. If
they decide in Los Angeles
two weeks from now that
the country wants a “con
servative” President, -they
will have Senate Majprity
Leader Lyndon Johnson
ready as their entry in the
Presidential Sweepstakes.

plastic bag and frozen into a cube.
Many merchandisers’ are getting
into the act with such things as a “kids
pack”, 12 small eggs in a container of
fered for children, aimed at better
sales of the smaller sized eggs. Too,
there is a family pack with four large
eggs for mom and dad and eight med
ium and small eggs for the children.
This-pack is being marketed where
there is considerable difference in the
prices of egg sizes.
' Hard cooked and pickeled beet eggs
are being sold sealed in plastic con
tainers which will maintain the egg in
good condition much longer than the
natural shell will do it.
Restaurants, under the urging of
several poultry promotion agencies,
are offering “Hot Deviled Eggs” on
the menu.
The list is seemingly endless, but
the point is this; If the poultry indust
ry had not been aware of its obliga
tion to produce and promote new pro
ducts, we might now be laboring un
der more burdensome surplusses of
poultry meat and eggs than we have in
some of the other agricultural pro
ducts.
Many of the other segments of the
agriculture would do well to emulate
the poultrymen in their promotional
programs. It does little good to be
able to produce large quantities of any
product if there is no market avail
able.
At least that’s how it looks from
where we stand.
“A survey of some nine hundred
communities recenly revealed that
voungsters stand a better chance of
living a crime-free life it they come
from rural areas, or from small cities,
than if they are reared in metropolian
areas ....
“All of which goes to prove, once
again, that the strength -of America
lies m rural areas and in small towns
where close family ties, an. orderly
and supervised life, and the basic, tra
ditional values of society, are still
more keenly appreciated.”
—Jefferson Ohio Gazette
Leaders of both political
parties customarily pick the
man they would like as their
candidate well in advance of
the nominating conventions.
But the delegates, when it
comes to making their choice
try to pick the man they
think has the best chance of
winning in November.
There is a feelmg here that
history may repeat itself.
Four years ago, just after the
Democratic convention had
nominated Adlai Stevenson,
we wrote in-this column:

ians of the New Deal and
Fair Deal took a thorough

As the moon shines down
With a pale yellow light.
It moves and it murmers
As the wind rustles by,
And seems to whisper
With a silky low sigh,

«<npOHORROW” is almost a
A magic word. It is the wonder
ful day when our dreams are going
to come true. It can also be the
black day of dread, the day when
we get what is coming to us, the
day when we have to pay for our
follies and our sins. Sometimes
neither dreams
nor nightmares
collect around
that word “To
morrow,” it Is a
word of mystery.
We do not know
what is going to
happen, and we
wish we did. Of
course-we shaU
know s'o o n
enough ... but the trouble is, we’d
all like to get an inside peek before
any one else does.
Ko crystal ball
Now there have been men and
women who profess to have that
inside peek. Sometimes they do It
with tea-leaves, sometimes with a
crystal ball, sometimes they claim
to have a friend on the "other side’’
who gives out special information.
Sometimes they just "see" tomor
row by shutting their eyes. But it
is very seldom that such people are
highly respected. They are regard
ed as rather comic characters
Old Man Mose for example. Crystal
balls appear in countless cartoons.
Sensible people don’t take them
seriously—for the good reason that
most forecasters make too many
mistakes. If the tealeaf reader
really could tell you which stocks
would go up, she would be much
richer than she ever will be by tell
ing fortunes.
A large part of the Bible was
Written by "prophets;” and they
are low-rated by many who ought
to get better acquainted with them
They are low-rated because the
very word “prophet” suggestsicrys
tal balls, palm-reading and all that
stuff. As a matter of fact, the Bible
word "prophet” did not mean fore
caster. It meant spokesman, a per-

TO BEWARE OF OAT HAY POISONING— Either waiter
or spring oats cut for hay when changing from the S rK ”
to the ripe color, and fed immediately, could be dangerou
to livestock. Some cases of oat hay poisoning have been t\
penenced. It is recommended that the oats Jje cut befor
they start to turn yellow in color, and also, they be allo' ve
to cure for at least six weeks before feeding.

TO ROTATE PASTURES All kinds oi
livestock respond well to fresh pasture,
this is possible at frequent intervals dm
ing the grazing season if the pasture is
divided and the animals rotated at certain
intervals. Every 10 days to two weeks on
a different area is quite common In the.
case of hogs and sheep this practice will
help control internal parasites Ladmo
clover pastures need this rest period 111
