What should shoppers do when confronted with the variety of cereals at the grocery store? “Read the labels,” says Sue Gangler, Warm Springs Exten sion Agent. Cereal packages must list their ingredients in their order of predominance by weight. In addition, every cereal must have a nutritional label. Comparing labels is helpful to people who want cereals rich in a particular nutrient, such as iron, or who want to avoid sugar, sodium or preservatives. Nutritional labels are usual ly based on one-ounce servings. ■ Since the bulk of that ounce varies from cereal to cereal; family eating habits must be considered when comparing costs and nutritional values. An ounce of granola-type oat cereal fills a quarter-cup, while an ounce of a fortified toasted oat cereal fills a cup and a quarter. Cost comparisons show that regular and one-minute oatmeal are usually the most economi cal. Ready-to-eat dietary supple ment cereals and individually- packaged-cereals are the most costly. Giant-size boxes of cereal offer some savings, but there is K A».

Whether or not the cattle industry continues to improve is largely up to the ranchers and their management techniques, says Robert Raleigh, Oregon State University animal scientist at the E astern Oregon Agri cultural Research Center near Burns.' “It has been a pretty'tough three or four years,” said Ral eigh. “First the price was down to a point where ranchers were losing money every time they sold an animal, then the drought came along and really mixed things up.” During the drought, about a third of the female cattle in eastern Oregon were culled be cause not enough feed was growing on the range to support full herds. Also, yearling calves were sold early to help reduce the feed demand. Because of this, many fewer cattle are available to m arket and the price has taken a sharp jump. “Prices most likely will stay up until a year from now or longer,” said Raleigh. “It takes a year to get a calf born, and actually, total time to get one ready to slaughter might take 16 to 18 months. So, I think a year from this fall prices still ought to be good.” Ranchers themselves might be responsible for the next down ward fluctuation in price, warn ed Raleigh. “Let’s take a good look at all the factors before jumping back in with both feet,” Raleigh tells the cattle ranchers. “The boom Avoiding Baby Walking Blues and Related Disasters
