Hugh Gardner, soil fer tility specialist, joined the OSU staff from the University of Brit ish Columbia. He had previous ly completed his Doctor's degree program at OSU. Jim Vomicil joined the OSU Staff after several years at the University of California at Da vis. He earned his degree at Arizona, Michigan State, and at Rutgers. His specialty is in the area of Soil Physics. Soils work proposed includes wheat and alfalfa fertility trials. Infiltration and percolation studies will be made on dry land and irrigated soils of the county. Interactions between fertility and soil structure will also be investigated. Farm Income Compared Between On and Off-Farm j.t ..., IT 5 farmers selling over $20,000 worth of farm products in 1966 were as well or better off, income-wise, as if they had invested their capitol and worked off farm. That is what a recent USDA study of the parity returns po sition of U. S. farmers show. But, farmers on the average, selling less than $20,000 worth of farm products were not as well off. In fact, farmers with off farm income, grossing less than $5,000 were only 13 to 25 as well off as if their la bor and capital had been em ployed in typical off-farm uses. In 1906, prices received for farm products average 80 of parity. But, a total net income of U. S. farm operators from farming was the highest in many years since the 1948 rec ord. 'income per farm was the highest in any year of record, according to the study. This study was made at the request of Congress and Food and Ag a t iaiK hv the Ec- riCUlluie mi '. " t-uq Oliomic- nt-scoii." w- principal aims were to analyze and develop improved measures of the parity position of farm ers.

Wash and rinse quickly, roll loosely in a towel, and hang t0(2)ywash in small loads and use the right laundry products. Save the hang tags or labels that give laundry instructions. A recipe box in the laundry is a good place to file labels and instructions for care. Write a description of the garment on each tag or attach one to it. Consult the record whenever necessary. Chlorine bleaches yellow some fabrics. Read and follow manu facturer's directions. Fabric sott eners reduce static electricity, make garments feel softer, and often help prevent wrinkling. (3) Use your laundry equip ment correctly. Warm or cool water and short wash, rinse and spin cycles are important. Use a wash and wear or durable press cycle if available, otherwise ad just the controls by hand. ' The heat and tumbling , action of an automatic dryer relaxes fibers and removes wrinkles that occur during wearing and washing. Turn the heat off for the last 10 minutes of the dry ing cycle. As soon as the tumb ling stops, remove and hang to nr enrtains. Neatly fold other, items like sheets, ta blecloths, and napKins.

OUATOU 0 CMM1CMJ fOt MOOCW ACUcUlIUM Gelgy Keeping step with progress is a habit with rural electric people. Through the vision and persistence ot rural people themselves, with the continuing help of Rural Electrification Administration loans, rural America is now 98 per cent electrified compared with 10 per cent a few years ago. Today, rural electrics across the land are serving remote missile bases and radar tracking stations, building atomic power generating plants, and combining their resources and needs to construct the huge fossil-fueled generating plants necessary to meet the ever-increasing demands for electric energy in their service areas. Yes, rural electric people today have then eyes on the future. As a matter of fact, they haven't lost sight of it for the past three decades.
