Handle New Potatoes Gently
New potatoes now in stores
aie freshly dug so handle them
as gently as you would apples or
eggs, advises Harold E. Neigh,
Penn State extension consumer
economics specialist Research
shows that new potatoes can
withstand up to 80 per cent more
jostling one month after storage
than they can at harvest time
Buy only what potatoes you can
use in a week oi two and then
handle them with caie

Livestock Business
The segiegation of newly pur
chased feeder cattle comes to my
attention at this time of the
year, with anothei good corn
crop in the making, and con
sideiabie activi'y in the cattle
feeding business, no doubt there
will be a lot of traffic in the
livestock business this fall Feed
ers are urged to do everything
possible to prevent new cattle
fiom coming in contact with ac
climated ones They should not
be able to touch noses, 01 drink
oi eat. from the same containers
Shipping fevei takes a heavy toll
among cattle each veai and very
stnct sanitation and segiegation
piactices should be exeicised to
pi event senous losses
10 weeks about the same as a
veai eaiher
