By using our of the Portra Lenses you can get within inches of your subject. Taking an extreme closeup serves to "set off" one particular blossom from all the others. Also, try using a large lens opening which will result in a picture with an extremely shallow depth of field. Note the interesting camera' angle the angular helps make this photograph outstanding. Getting The Most Out Of Your 35 Millimeter Camera By JERRY FIELDS About the most surprising aspect of 35mm picture making is that these small cameras, using about the smallest and lowest-priced film size, result in the largest pictures. Meaning, of course, that although 35mm camera owners often shoot for average-sized prints in color or black and white, they most frequently make color slides for projection on screens several feet in width. Screen pictures which, ' thanks to the fine optics and fast shutter of the camera and the il lumination of a slide projector, are the biggest, sharpest, most color ful and brilliant pictures of all. For through them onlookers can enjoy many subjects as large, or far larger, than in life especially if the area covered by the camera is itself small. You'll be interested, 1 think to learn just how small this can be! Most "35's" can be used as close as three feet from a subject . . some even to within two and one-half feet. At the former dis tance they'll span an area 00 inch es wide ... at the latter, 00 inches in width no mean pumpkins as close-ups when thrown upon a ood-sized projection screen. Vet 35mm camera users can get a lot more dramatic magnification than this! For some "35's" there are in terchangeable lenses, or additional lens components, for wide-angle and telephoto shooting and telc pholos, while usually thought of as useful for reaching way out to make big ones out of distant little ones, are equally helpful for nar rowing the field for the magnifica tion of objects only a few feet distant. But we're talking here of close-ups as achieved by standard lenses with the addition of simple, low-cost lenses that slip over the camera's lens barrel. Let's sec what they can do for a 35mm cam era at that average three-foot clfie-up distance. Known as Porta lenses, these lit tle aids usually come in plus 1, r'us 2, and plus 3 magnifications. They can either be used over the standard lens individually, or in combination for even greater sub ject nearness and concentration. With the plus 1 you can shoot at a 20 inch distance: with the plus 2 at 13 inches; with the plus 3 at 10 inches; with Die plus 3 and plus 1 at 0 inches; with the plus 3 and plus 2 at 0 inches; and with the plus 3 and plus 3 at 0 inches. And now while you think of subjects such as people and pets and clusters or even single blos soms, shown clear across your liv ing room screen let's see what areas a 35mm camera will cover at those same six distances. At 20 inches, 00" by 00"; at 13 inches, 00" by 00"; at 10 inches, 00" by 00"; at 0 inches, 00" by 00". An inch, as you can see, can eas ily become a foot on your projec tion screen! With some "35's" you can do even better . . . narrowing the field to but two inches in width. Special close-up kits are avail able, including, in some instances, items known as field guides, or focal frames, which when secured to the camera by its tripod socket, extend out front to span the var ious small fields at their various close distances. There are even close-up viewfinders and range finders for splii-hair sighting and focusing. There are table-top cam era stands to hold "35's" only inches above a map, a snapshot print, or any other small object you d like to copy. And, speaking of close-ups, these are even at tachments by which some 3.-mm cameras can be precisely mounted onto microscopes and you can imagine the magnification possible here when their images are blown up on a screen! The estimation of exact distance and fieid is important in close up filming. Even at the smallest possible lens opening depth of field is shallow, and sighting is a bit uncertain because camera find ers are usually above lenses and aren't "looking" at exactly the same area. So it pays to measure distances carefully, and to angle the camera upwards a bit keep ing the top one-quarter of the find er above the area you re aiming at when using a plus 3 Portra lens, one-sixteenth above it with a plus 2 lens, and one-eighth above it when shooting through a plus 1 lens. Or better still, if one's not available, make yourself a simple focal frame to both outline area and spot your camera at the cor rect filming distance. It's easy enough to build as you can readily learn by writing for focal franie information to the Sales REAL SKILL is required when it comes to backing a loaded logging truck info a given space without knocking down anything in the neighborhood.

Ground Rules Laid Down For Ground Round Ground beef made entirely from the round cut of the beef carcass may now be labeled and sold as "ground round" according to the revised hamburger standards drawn up recently by the State Department of Agriculture. The same rule applies to any terms which designate the primal cut from which the product is made. Thus, "ground chuck" will be permissible as a term for ground beef or hamburger made entirely from the chuck cut. The revised order, like the one drawn up last January, permits two optional ingredients if declared on the label. They are ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and monosodium lutamale. Department officials point out that ascorbic acid does not increase the nutritive value of the meat in amounts used in hamburger. They say some dealers like to use as corbic acid to retain the normal color of the meat for a longer pe riod than is natural when exposed to light; this is its only function in ground beer. It is not a preserva tive and it does not intensify ex isting color. Monosodium elutamale is not a spice but, as in other products, is used simply tn enhance the flavor already present. The addition of either of these optional ingredients must be de clared on a package of ground beef. The label must also contain the name of the product, the net weight and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, pack er or distributor. If hamburger or ground beef is sold in bulk in retail stores a pla card must show the standardized name of the product or the term designating the cut from vhich the product was made. It m.ist also bear the names ol either or both of the optional ingredients, if add ed. Well Seasoned Lumber should be thoroughly dry before it is used for "abinets and built-ins in order to avoid shrinkage. Best plan is to store lumber for several weeks in Ihe room where it will be ultimately installed. Service Division of Ihe Eastman Kodak Company at Rochester 4, New York.

D. Hill. Oregon State College farm crops department head. Itana Is similar to Columbia wheat released three years ago in Oregon as a hard red winter va riety for low rainfall areas. Colum bia is more smut resistant and higher yielding than Itana under Oregon growing conditions. Hill stated. Washington State College this week released Itana for areas of les than 1C inches rainfall in Washington. Certified seed for commercial production in Washing ton will be available in the fall of 1959. The new wheat is a selection from the cross Blackhull-Rex X Cheyenne made at the Oregon State College branch experiment station at Moro. Testing began in scattered areas of the Northwest in 1950. Idaho and Montana re leased Itana in 1956. Columbia is resistant lo all known races of both common and dwarf smut and has usually out- yielded Itio, the commonly grown hard red winter wheat in the Co lumbia Basin. Because of Colum bia's excellent performance in Oregon's low-rainfall areas, Hill stated,, there is no point in releas ing Itana in Oregon.

The books are: "Why The Civil War?" by Otte Eisenschiml (Bobbs Merrill). "An End to Valor" by Philip Van Doren Stern (Houghton Mili um. "First Lady of the South" bf Ishbel Ross (Harper). Eisenschiml, as usual, jumps into Ihe middle of the controver sial question among Civil War scholars whether the war was in evitable. Most historians agree that the time for compromise had passed when secession began but not Eisenschiml. He contends Ihe conflict still could have bOn stopped after Lincoln became President and develops a theme to that effect which probably will keep the Civil War burfs talking for a year as did a previous book of his, "Why Was Lincoln Mur dered?" "An End To Valor" is 9 nar rative of the war from MaiQi 4, 1805, when Lincoln was inaugurat ed the second time, until Appo mattox. Stern writes with di(j)rna and human interest. He Oes the first person technique of quoting participants effectively. Miss Ross likely has written the definite biography of Varinn How ell Davis, wife of President Davis, in "First Lady of The South." J'.'s difficult to recall any detail of Mrs. Davis's life which Miss Ho? hasn't covered. The author's re search seems thorough )ig con clusive, digging as she did into all the records of the Davis and How ell families, even to the descen dants still living. Phone TU 4-5373
