But she was not a willing patient. Her physician, Dr. Arthur W. Wood, who earlier confirmed that X-ray photographs apparently showed five aistinct heads of unborn babies, had to persuade the mother that a per iod of rest was necessary, "I'm not sick," she asserted, and demanded to be permitted to Join her husband, Emory, 30-year-old furniture factory woodworker who earns $15 weekly. Today the Miami Herald, whose owner, John 8. Knight, placed the Callahans under contract for ex clusive publication rights of photo graphs and news, planned to lease a new home for them where nurs ing and medical attention would be constantly available. The Herald's agreement provided the prospective mother with an un disclosed sum of money, the services of Dr. Wood and specialists If the physician desires to call them, and all hospital expenses, Including nurses, as well as income from news and pictures. Normally, the babies would be born May 20. Medical men pointed out, however, that multiple births usually are premature. The moth er, a small-brown haired, blue eyed woman, has gained 20 pounds In re cent months. She weighs 128 now, but her condition was declared to be excellent by Dr. Wood. The husband's father, Thomas C. Callahan of Thomasvllle, On, was a twin, but no other multiple births have been recorded in the family. The Callahans are pleased that fate apparently has selected them for the event with a mathematical probability of 1 In 57,000,000. "I hope they're all boys," said the mother. "Emory likes boys." She said she wanted a family of 12 children "and It's all right with me if there are two sets of quin tuplets and twins." Lime Program for Farmers Under AAA Perrydale Plans for a lime dis tribution program, enabling farm ers who take part in the AAA farm program to receive lime under the "grant of aid" plan, are nearlng completion, according to N. C. Don aldson of Corvallis, in charge of the state agricultural conservation ser vice. If bids expected from 15 lime pro ducing companies are satisfactory, the lime distribution program should be under way by the middle of April, Donaldson said. All but one of the lime plants are located in Oregon. This grant of aid plan would be similar to those used by the AAA in distributing hairy vetch and Aus trian winter field pea seed, as well as phosphate. The material Is furnished the farmer now but he does not pay ready cash since the cost is deducted from future con servation checks. Bids will be accepted on the basis of cost of the lime at the plant. Farmers will pay the shipping charges themselves. An effort Is being made to have several plants furnish the lime so that farmers will have a source near their home farms, thus reducing shipping charges. Distribution of the lime will be made this spring and again In the fall if bids are satisfactory. "The farm program has stimulat ed Interest In lime In Oregon," Don aldson said, "and reports from counties Indicate that with this grant of aid program there will be still further Interest Much Wil lamette valley land, for examnle. needs lime In order to grow crops at its best efficiency." As soon as action on bids Is com pleted county offices will be furn ished Information on receiving ap plications from farmers for the lime and on details of its distribu tion.
