TABLE ROCK Many Cattle Wintering Here By R. E. NEALON Table Rock In checking over the different feed lots and pas tures in this district, we find that there are between 1,800 and 2,000 cattle, counting calves, being wintered here. This is causing quite a drain on hay stacks and ensilage silos. It is an all time high, almost double the usual number. Although some come from other parts of the valley, most of them belong here. The number of cattle in Jackson county may have some bearing on local prices which have been showing a downward trend for some time.

December 14, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNZ nVE Lot of Steel Needed To Be Potato Grower New York (U.R) It takes more than know-how and nerves of steel to be a potato grower it takes a lot of steel. To keep Americans eating more potatoes than any other vegetable, almost all -phases of potato output have become me chanized in Aroostock County, Me., which produces 90 per cent of the crop that has made Maine potatoes famous. Steelways, publication of 1 American Iron and Steel Insti tute, says the extent to which Maine potato farmers rely on steel is reflected in two statis tics. There were 672 pieces of major steel farm equipment for every 100 potato farms, each av eraging 24 acres, in 1951; the latest year for which figures were available. In that same year each acre averaged 445 bushels, as contrasted with 270 bushels annually harvested between 1930 and 1934. From helicopters, for spray ing, to harvesters, for digging potatoes with human-like pre cision, the uses to which steel is put in the potato industry have a direct bearing on the way spuds reach the consumer. Annual per'capita potato con sumption has declined from 179 pounds to 104 pounds in less than two generations. Because of competition from other vege tables and other potato raising areas, the Maine grower is using steel to assist in grading, clean ing and packaging his product more attractively. iiCCiHiB Grenoble, France '(U-R) American tourists lpassin through this part of sojuthern France are often stumped -by the sight of beautiful leather .gloves nailed to front doors of hdnuses To the French the gloe is a birth announcement: onej glove means the house has been tylessed with a baby. A pair signifies twins. Three gloves call for a town celebration. Leather gloves are natural symbols of joy here and ih other' towns whose handiwork and traditions go back 700- years. They are as much a part of the legal and social life of tlais part of France as they are a source of livelihood for this comiminity. Among Grenoble's otfceer cus toms is the tradition of present ing a glove to a land buyer as a symbol of good faith. When a young Frenchman gives a pair of red leather gloves to his sweet heart, he is proposing marriage, just as in the days of Naspoleon. COULD BE Muskegon, Mich. U.R Mrs. Alice A.
