Italy Finds Painless Way
To Obtain Television Sets
LATE FOR SUPPER "Tiny," peeking wistfully over mama's shoulder, didn't get there
fustest for the mostest. The runt of the piglet litter a Cowpen, England, Tiny is bottle
fed by the farmer.

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.

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.
