Wil liams called the arrest of Gen ovese "one of the most im portant arrests ever made in this field." "Our investigation discloses that Genovese was the hub around which this entire con spiracy revolved and Gigante was one of his proteges and a rising star," Williams said. Williams referred to the un veiling last month of a vast narcotics network with the arrest of 15 men and 3 women. This ring, Williams' said, was responsible for the smuggling of hudreds of pounds of nar cotics into the U. S. annually. Iwo Jima Leader Fighting for Life Harwichport, Mass.

WliDIE!! 12th P-iJw rnnriimAil Declared Higher During Recession San Francisco (UPI). When a family's income slumps, the amount of candy it eats goes up, a vice presi dent of Mars Candy company, of Chicago, said here Monday night. "Past history of consumer buying habits shows that when family .; ' purse-strings are tightened, a larger per centage of the family food budget goes for candy," Vic tor H. Gies, Mars vice presi dent, told 3,800 candy in dustryepresentatives at the National Confectioners' As sociation convention. For this reason, Gies said, the industry believes that "de spite the recession or per haps because of it," candy makers expect 1958 to be a boom year. He predicted, a 3 per cent increase in candy production and said' that Am ericans already are eating an average of more than 18 pounds of candy each year. To show the impact of candy on the economy, Gies said the industry uses the pro- j duction of 148,000 dairy cows, 426,000 hens, 512,000 acres of corn, 262,000 acres of pea nuts and an astronomical number of sugar beets and stalks of sugar cane.

Are there some1 Proof of continuous family "Century Farmers" in Jack- son county? An 1869 report reveals that early farmers in this area mainly raised stock. Stock dealers from California, Nev ada and Idaho visited them every year regularly and bought up the surplus of all kinds. They paid cash for it, giving the farmer a market at their own door for every thing that could be driven away. " Perhaps some present -day Jackson county farmers are finding stockgrowing as pro fitable as their families did in the 1850's. If so, they may be eligible for "Century F.arm" honors, to be presented at the state fair this fall. "Bonus for Cash!" Extra 5 Discount On All Sale Merchandise, . Paid for in Cash or Check.

The early histories reveal that barley made a good crop in Jackson county, yielding 30 to 50 bushels per acre. However, the bacon and wool could be sent to market much easier than the heavy grain crops because transportation was expensive. Facilities for marketing were confined to various mining camps in southern Oregon and north ern California. Jackson county had 15,000 acres of land under cultiva tion in 1869. A woolen mill was operating at Ashland at j tne same time, remaps some descendants of these early farmers and sheep growers are still working their inher ited land today. Farming land sold for $5 to $10 per acre in the 1860's. Perhaps your family obtained their land a few years earlier and you are eligible for "Cen tury Farm" honors. The '"Century Farm" pro gram is drawing consider able interest throughout the state, although it will be Aug ust 1 before all of 1958's Century Farmers will be known to the sponsors. One newspaper in the Wil lamette valley, the Hillsboro Argus, is supplementing the Gentury Farm program with a plaque to be given to the Washington county farm fam ily which has worked the same piece of land or a part of it for. the longest period of time.
