grubs.
7. “Grubby” veal calves are de-
valued from .5 to 1 cent per pound
because they must be skinned out
on the floor there by decreasing
the quality of the veal.
Both fee’em and packers are
becoming r. ore and more partic-
ular about buying animals free
from grubs, and animals that have
been treated for grubs are increas-
ingly in demand. Many packers
are now keeping records on cer-
tain lots of cattle and are re-
porting to the producers concern-
ing the reasons for reduced prices,
including cattle grubs are more
interested in preventing such losses
and these reports from the packer
should create much interest in
grub control among the commer-
cial cattle producers.

her mother’s sleeve.
“Now, Mother?” she asked.
“Now can’t we write my letter?”
“Why of course, Betsy,” Mrs.
Carson grinned. “Are you going
to write it or am I?”
“Well,” Betsy said. “Maybe
you’d better kind of say it to me.
Only I’d love to write it.”
“All right, then. Miss Carson,
take a letter,” her mother said,
walking slowly up and down the

in which the husband is undersized and generally mild while the j Navy have done a magnificent
i job in taking and holding these
Islands. Good meals helped make
them fit and ready for the Japs.
One of the Marines wrote In his
diary, “We had our first hot meal
since we landed, and it tasted
good—bacon, powdered eggs, and
hot coffee.
Powdered eggs have become one
of the biggest foods used by the
Armed Forces all over the World.
Their use enables the men to have
a more varied diet.
The powdered eggs are being
used by civilians In England, Rus-
sia, and other countries. The eggs
your flock can produce means
means more money to you, and
more good food for the Armed
Forces and our Allies.
