Dairymen May Receive More In California The series of four hearings called by the California Bureau of Milk Control may result in mil lions of dollars in increased earn ings lo California dairymen. At least that's the trend so far. The hearings will be held in Fresno June 24, Berkeley .June 27, Sacramento June 27, and Los An feles July 1. The hearings affect only milk shipped through the so-called coun try plants. These are actually rur ii) depots for collecting local sur plus milk which is to be shipped to metropolitan areas. About 15 ver cent of the state's- fluid milk passes through these country planls. At present, the state permits a deduction of 27 cents per hundred weight from the dairymen's earn-; ings for all his milk that passes through the country plants. The deduction is to pay the cost of storage, cooling the milk and ship ping it to big city dairies which gel it for the same price they get Una milk. Dairymen have complained that 27 cents per hundredweight is far loo much to pay for the market ing of their milk. To investigate Uiesc complaints. The State Bu reau of Milk Control checked four country plants over a period of several months. The bureau studies determined that the four plants were able to PlH-r.de on between eight and a half cents and 18 and a half cents per hundredweight. This meant that according to the cost studies the plants could operate on eight and 18 cents Icsf than they are ow reteivinjj from Hie dairymen. Reds Oblige Bugs Bunny Fussia is now claiming to have grown carrots as big as baseball bats and cabbages the size of barrage balloons. This was achieved, according to Moscow Radio, by adding a fungus fertilizer called gibberellin to the soil. The fungus, claims Moscow, should revolutionize agriculture be cause it cuts the growth time of vegetables and could make plant ing possible in regions where the growing season is extremely short. Our own agriculture department says gibberellin is nothing new, Japanese scientists have been ex perimenting with it for several years and so have English and American researchers. Gibberellin actually is an acid, not a fertil izer, it's a chemical that regulates plant growth. American research has been limited to early plant growth, gibberellin has never been used on edible vegetables. Dr. John W. Mitchell, a USDA expert at Bcltsville, Maryland, says he knows the chemical will do things to a plant but hes nev er heard of it doing things to the extent Moscow claims. And Mitchell wonders why the Russians haven't said anything about how their giant carrots and cabbages taste, there's some ques tion of the powerful chemical's ef fects on edibility. And there's one more question: How do you store a cabbage the size of a barrage balloon? Land Seeding Made Easier The seeding of depleted western sagebrush and bunchgrass ranges is being revolutionized with a ma chine developed by Oregon State College experiment Station. The machine has been tested in scattered locations of eastern Ore gon range country during the past year. Its use appears to cause faster emergency of grass, two to three times more grass survival and higher yields after grass stands are established. The experimental model is an eight-row machine weighing about one and a half tons. Eight heavy wheels press V - shaped furrows spaced 12 inches aparts. ' Seed dropped behind the wheels into the pressed furrows is covered with loose soil by drag links. The machine is built to stand hard treatment on rough range land. Each furrow wheel is individually suspended to permit operation on rough terrain. The seed tubes actually are tightly wound springs which snap back into normal position when deflect td by rocks or brush. MILAN (UPI) Television was a luxury item in Italy not long ago. Only 16 persons out of thou sand owned a set. But recently an inventor per fected a gadget called "taxivison" which can make a TV set avail able to almost everyone. "Taxi vision" beats the lowest terms of payment by installment plan. To realize the benefit of this in vention it is necessary to know how much it usually costs an Ital ian citizen to install a set.- The over-all costs are between 100.000 to 200.000 lire ($160 to $32(ii, according to the size and quality of the set. The average set which most Italians buy costs about 110.000 lire ($176), and an other 20.000 lire ($321 is added for a license and installation. Forest Crews Earn Awards Awards and honors recently won by Rogue River National Forest employes have just been an nounced by Forest Supervisor Car roll E. Brown. Various individual and unit awards for safe work performance were passed out last evening at the annual fire guard training camp orientation program. About 100 Rogue River employes, two -thirds of the entire summer force, were present as the fire guard training program got under way at the old CCC camp northeast of Butte Falls. Unit awards were as follows: The Klamath Ranger District or ganization received a citation for 10 years continuous work without a lost time accident. Robert L. Cooper, district ranger during this 10 year period of accident free work, was recently promoted to a position on the staff of the regional forester, Juneau, Alaska. The cita tion was received for the Klamath district organization by the new district ranger, Darroll K. Frew ing. The forest road maintenance crew, David T. Thompson, fore man, received a citation for the fourth consecutive year of acci dent free work. The Union Creek ranger district organization. Rex A. Resler, dis trict ranger in charge, received a citation for four consecutive years of accident free work on that district. This is considered an unusual record since the work force of the Union Creek District for the past several years has averaged 50 to 80 men during the summer period. Three ranger districts received citations for the second consecu tive year of accident free work. These were the Applegate District. Vern E. Taylor district ranger; the Ashland District, Harold A. Thomas district ranger: and the Butte Falls District, Ralph A. Wiese district ranger. Installment plan terms usually call for not less than a 20.000 lire i $.121 initial payment and 5,000 lire ($8) monthly payments. In terest is about five per cent of the price. With laxivision" a buyer ini tially pays only the installation fee of 5,000 lire. The gadget is at tached to the set, and the viewer puts into its slot a 100 lire de cent) coin for 45 minutes of view ing time. By this system, the user can ad just his viewing to his budget, and at the same time pay for this lux ury item and eventually own it. It wduld belong to the user in about four years if one coin were put into the machine every day. Progress of payment for the TV set with a "taxivision" attachment is recorded by a calculator at the side which registers every 100 lire coin. Once a month the coins-are collected, and when the final pay ment is registered the "taxivision' is removed from the set for use elsewhere, Taxivision can be littefl to any TV or radio set. Buyers can change their sets for later nodels even if payments have not been complet ed. If "taxivision" users dislike a program, or if they have to go out, tjiey only have to close the set to stop the 100 lire worth of"TV view ing from being wasted. A special time indicator shows the number another coin must be inserted. DAMAGE REPAIRED STERLING. Colo. Art Bush, a Sterling welder, takes his traffic accidents in stride.

Housewives Decide What Farmers Grow The housewife decides what the nation's farmers produce, says an economics expert at North Dakota State College. Consumer demand, shaped by housewife-buyers, has changed considerably during the past 10 years because of lower prices, ris ing income, and technological progress, the expert said. As a result, consumption of po tatoes, wheat flour, pork, eggs, milk, butter and lard have de creased in the past decade. But women have bought more frozen foods, turkeys and chickens, he added.
