Soaring Sowing
Helicopters have completed
what is considered one of the
most extensive short-term
programs of aei'ial fertiliza
tion of timber ever under
taken.
More than 10,000 tons of
granular fertilizer were
broadcast over 60,000 acres of
trees in forests near Eugene,
Ore., and Longview, Centralia
and Raymond, Wash.
The job was done for
Weyerhaeuser Co. as a part
of its timber management
program.
Get a health checkup.
Find out the lump inyour throat is only emotion.
It’s generally agreed that one of the best
things you can do to keep yourself in good
health is to have a regular health checkup.
The reason’s simple. Cancer—if de
tected early enough—can often be cured.
So even if your regular checkup does re
veal a problem, in a way it’s a good thing.
You’ve probably caught it early enough to
do something about it.

Compared with last week’s
close closing prices on slaughter
steers and heifers .75-1.00 lower.
Cows 2.00-2.50 lower under
ragged demand. Bulls steady.
Feeders weak to mostly .50
lower, largely in sympathy with
the climbing slaughter prices,
although demand continues
broad for fleshy 2 way steers,
suitable for a short term in the
feed line.
Four day receipts of 16,200
compared to 14,700 previous week
and 14,900 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 28 percent,
heifers 34 percent, cows 10
percent and feeders nearly 25
percent. For only the second time
smce late November, prices on
slaughter steers and heifers
showed a lower weekly trend as a
reflection of the downward
plunge wholesale carcass trade.
The declines were enforced on
moderate receipts as buyers
faced with the dilemna on
maintaining an acceptable ratio
between live prices and lower
carcass relization on short
supplies of slaughter cattle. Some
buyers chose to curtail slaughter
quotas to coincide with reduced
numbers rather than accept the
poor returns.

An International Paper
Company pine plantation is
a part of the company’s “Dy
namic Forest.” Each acre of
trees contributes enough oxy
gen each year to supply the
needs of 18 people. Thus it is
estimated the company’s one
million acres of planted pine
trees in the South supply
the life-giving oxygen needs
of 18 million people annually.
