$147 SCALE NETS
FARMER $2000
IN JUST 1 YEAR
The importance of scale that will
weigh single stoeic animals and pro
duce UD to 2000 pounds has always
been recognized by good farmers,
but the price has been too high, until
,th SAFE-WEIGH Animal and Pro
duce Scale came along.
Selling for S30O or S400 less than
anv other ever offered, the SAFE
WEIGH makes available to farmers a
dependable scale that can both make
nd save him hundreds or even thou
sands of dollars a year.
On of the reasons the SAFE-WEIGH
can be priced as low as S147 complete
IT. OB. Factory i is that the makers
have recognized the "do-it-yourself
trtnd. and produced a scale that the
farmer can install himseif in a few
hours.
The value of the SAFE-WEIGH scale
was proved again recently when a
farmer sold his herd for 52000 more
than he would have been paid had
not his animals qualified as the beef
carcass type. He knew the exact
weight of each head before sending
them "io market, so he was positive
about the correct price he should Bet.
So often both cattle and hog farm
ers take a penalty simply because
they have guessed the weights of
their animals and did not know.
Some farmers owning SAFE-WEIGH
scales weigh the animals while load
ing them and paint the weight right
on.
Another equally important use for
the scale on the farm is that of carry
ing out a really economical feeding
program. Unthrifty animals are culled
out before they can result in actual
money losses. Test feeding using
selected groups of animals is possible,
too. and results in more efficient fat
tening procedures.
The SAFE-WEIGH scales is easily
installed by following the simple step-by-step
directions furnished. Draw
ings for building pens for handling
different types of mimals are part of
the "do-it-yourself" package.
The uses of the SAFE-WEIGH scale
exceed the needs of marketing and
feeding stock. It has economic use
fulness in eliminating the guesswork
that can actually cost you money in
, many other farm operations too.

"The only person we couldn't

Science Reveals King Arthur Really
Lived in England Over 800 Years Ago
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
London CU.Ri King Arthur
of the Knights of the Round
Table has just emerged from the
mists of legend into the sunlight
.of reality after more than 800
years.
Science coaxed him forth in
one of the prettiest displays of
archaeological detective work. in
a long time. But, alas, at the
same time it debunked the
pretty picture of knights joust
ing with lances.
The fact that King Arthur
actually lived, fought and died
and was not merely an inven
tion of medieval storytellers
(and Hollywood script writers)
is a by-product of an inquiry by
a team of scientists into Britain's
"lost centuries" the years be
tween 400 and 625 A.D.
The British Broadcasting Cor
poration, which does things like
this, decided to ask the scientists
what they could find out about
the dark era when the Roman
occupation was ending. The
usual picture painted by histor
ians is that of a britain popu
lated mainly by illiterate peas
ants and overrun by barbarians.
There are two ways of mak
ing scientific discoveries these
days. One is to find something
new. The other is to examine old
NO MORE SOUVENIRS
Medford. Mass. :'U.P; When
the West Medford railroad sta
tion was built in 1880 such
things as semi-precious jewels, a
whale's tooth and seasnells were
imbedded in the outside walls.
Local souvenir hunters have
picked most of the objects from
the walls since then.
research in the light of
techniques, which often pro
duces just as many startling re
sults. Operating much as detec
tives do in assembling apparent
ly unrelated clues into a cast
iron case, the scientists came to
this conclusion:
The Britain of the lost centur
ies was a land of great country
houses and international ccm
berce as well as of hovels. It had
illiterate peasants, but it also
had famous scholars such as
Pelagius who argued with St.
Augustine for humanism in
Chrisitanity.
One of the team, archeologist
Raleigh Radford, began to find
as the sources were culled that
he was getting frequent refer
ences to a war leader named Ar
thur. He found that the Britons
handed the Saxons a crushing
defeat at a place called Badon
Hill in 516 A.D. An eighth cen
tury work, based on earlier ac
counts, said the British leader
was named Arthur.
Arthur Prevents Raids
Then, in Welsh laments, Rad
ford found complaints that a
leader named Arthur was pre
venting their cattle raids. A
Welsh poet. Aneurin. remarked
of a certain chieftain that he
was "no Arthur" but still man
aged to kill a lot of people.
But Arthur and his knights
couldn't have tilted with lances,
Radford says, because the saddle
stirrup hadn't reached Britain
from the steppes of Asia at that
time.
Radford said he hopes to find
the place where Arthur , is
buried.
He has found records of the
discovery of a grave at Glaston
bury Abbey in 1191. In it were
new two bodies, a man and a woman.
On the breast of the man was a
leaden cross which said:
"Here lies King Arthur in the
Island of Avalon."
He said he thought he knew
the exact spot and planned to
excavate there, but he will not
reveal it because of the danger
amateurs might start digging
themselves and ruin the project.
