Swanson at the Federal Building in Ogden, Utah. First three checks received for payment to farmers in Western beet sugar districts are shown nere just after they were handed to the lucky trio of Utah farmers who were gratified at receiving the initial payments. Under the Sugar A c t of 1937, American farmers will receive approximately $20,000,000.00 in benefit checks provided in the government legislation for the growing of sugar beets to be processed for pure, granulated sugar. The farmers declare sugar beet growing is one of their best crops and one which they couldn't get along without on western farms. The large sums of money will be put back into circulation for the stimulation of business by most of the farmers who will spend it for new implements, farm improvements, and for necessities to continue tilling fertile soil. The money acts as a business stimulus nationally, for it goes into not only the immediate community but to distant manufacturing centers. The sugar beet farmers are now receiving more than fifty cents of the beet sugar dollar. W ith the benefit payments and returns from the sugar companies, sugar beers are one of the most favorable agricultural crops to qrow.

Feeding the Pigs If you feed your pigs too many peanuts or soybeans, you haul soft pork to market and are penalized two cents a pound, says the Coun try Home Magazine. Packers know there Is not much bacon left after soft pork is fried. But a peanut-fed hog can be finished off with corn. The soybean-fed hog can be saved from disgrace if the oil Is first ex tracted from the beans. The beans should be fed a i meal along with a regular balanced ration.

Hotels, bakers and res taurants use frozen whole eggs, and plain and sugared yolks. The whites are used by makers of confections. Mayonnaise and salad dressing makers use about 16,000.000 pounds of plain, sugared and salt yolks and whole eggs each year. Canned eggs are used also by sausage makers and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
