Hursh, M.D, Consultant, National Dairy Council • Here’s a little history People think sauerkraut is a German dish, but it actually was created m China Coolies working on the Great Wall of China were fed a dish of cabbage and rice To pre serve it as a winter food supply, wine was added, and i( became known as sour cabbage When the recipe reached Europe, they christened it sauerkraut OBESITY; INFANTS AND ADULTS Two areas of icscarch arc among the newest theories that hope to solve the mysteries of obesity of why people are overweight One area concerns the development of fat cells m the body, the other involves psv chological influences that may cause overweight Let s take fat cells first Some of the vital development of the fetus can only take place in the last few months before birth Development of the brain for ex ample could be limited in the fetus if the mother to be docs not enjoy adequate nutrition Certain nutritional inadequacies cannot be corrected after the babv is born Women Gam More Now This is why pediatricians now recommend that pregnant women gain more during pregnancy than thev were recommending a few years ago It became apparent that too many babies were being born underweight and with other problems stemming from mater nal malnutrition At the' same OPEN HOUSE DAYS Come in and visit with us and the factory representatives. Our products are backed by parts, service and customer service training. time, phyiicians do not want preg nant women to gain too much for both their own sake and for fear the fetus will develop too many fat cells Similarly, pediatricians watch the weight gain and diet of babies knowing that if they arc overfed they will develop too many fat cells Too many fat cells in his body could be a lifelong problem Once developed, you never have less The problem thereafter is cell size to keep the fat cells you have from becoming too big In early life, and the diet is influential, the infant first de velops numbers of cells only Then, m a second stage, he in creases both numbers and size of cells together Finally, size only is increased So, in pediatrics, the aim now is to not develop too many fat cells, in early life and then keep them a reasonable size We really don’t have the ans wers yet But people who con stantly must fight weight may have more fat cells than is de sirable When they reduce they merely shrink the aicrage size of their fat cells And, it is theor izcd. the reason people usually icgam weight may be that their fat cells literally arc starving on a reducing regimen and "scream mg” for more nourishment to maintain a larger size the re sult of a precedent set in early life This might account, especi ail\. for people who regain weight after crash dieting The psychological clues regard mg overweight include a theory that overweight people are more responsive to their environment, that is, to outside influences For example, in research re ported by Dr Judith Rodin of Yale University’s Department of Psychology, overweight and aver age weight persons have been studied doing work such as proof reading When they were in a quiet room, undistracted, the rate at which each person accomp lished his task was measured But when a tape of background mu sic was played, efficiency drop ped, especially among the over weight persons The overweight person, in other words, is more distracted by the sound He responds more to out side stimuli This, according to the theory, explains his positive response to good smells and ap pearance of food, and of other people eating It is, for him, ir resistable MARCH 6 - Wednesday - 7 P.M. - Motion Pictures Tractor & Hay Machines Pictures MARCH 7 - Afternoon & Evening - 2 P.M. - 7 P.M.

S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Utah Agricultural Ex periment Station, Logan. These lines are being made available for use in the development of varieties or hybrids with improved nutritional qualities and for experimental studies of alfalfa saponins. Saponin, a compound common in plants, inhibits chick growth if fed in suf ficient quantity. Saponins depress the growth of some microorganisms. In formation on their effects on farm animals is limited. Six of the new alfalfa lines are low-saponin and the other six are high. One low and one high line were developed from each of six varieties-DuPuits, Ladak. Lahontan, Ranguer, Vmta and Vernal. All twelve were developed by USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the Utah experiment station, and resulted from recurrent selection. A limited amount of seed will be provided each alfalfa breeder upon written request REFRESHMENTS and agreement to make appropriate recognition of its source a matter of open m>ir AUREOMYCIN SULMET Drinking water treatment stops bacterial enteritis (scours) in pigs Two most effective and time tested products— AUREOMYCIN'and SULMET —newcombined in a water soluble formulation Palatable: Readily accepted by of all ages Easy to use: Conven lent drinking watei treatment AVAILABLE FROM YOU FAVORITE ANIMAL HEALTH SUPPLIER record when this germplasm contributes to the development of a new variety or hybrid.
