Middleagers, Older
Should Have Checkup
Before Swimming
Hot weather makes swimming
the most enjoyable recreation for
the family. Swimming is also one
of the most healthful of sports.
Swimming exercises the body
without over-heating it. It helps
develop strong, smooth muscles
and good lung capacity.
It is a wise precaution, how
ever, for people of middle-age or
older to have a medical checkup
before going swimming.
Young children learn to swim
easily and without fear.

Success Shown in
Selling Surpluses
U.S. Sen. Carl Curtis (R-Nebr.)
said Tuesday that he believes
considerable success has been
shown in the program to sell to
foreign countries surplus agricul
tural commodities. This program
was authorized by public law 480
of the 83rd congress.
As of June 30, 1955, a total of
1.2 billion dollars worth of com
modities have been sold, distribut
ed, or committed under this act.
Commodities disposed of in this
manner include 52.6 million bush
els of wheat, 22.5 million bushels
of feed grain, 52.2 million, pounds
of dairy products and 149.9 mil
lion pounds of vegetable oil. Sales
under this program are carried on
in a manner that will not disrupt
normal trade in United States
markets abroad.
Senator Curtis pointed out that,
at the current rate of negotiations,
disposal during the coming fiscal
year should exceed disposals dur
ing the fiscal year just past.
408,000 Cattle on
Feed in Nebraska—
It is estimated that there were
408,000 head of cattle on grain
feed in Nebraska July 1. This es
timate was made by the state
federal division of agricultural
statistics. The April 1 estimate,
was 558,000 head.
Marketings of fed cattle be
tween April 1 and June 30 total
ed 308,000 head and set a new
record for the period. During the
past quarter, farmers placed 128,
000 head on feed or about two
percent more than placed on feed
earlier.
Some cattle in eastern Nebraska
were placed on feed after April 1
because of dry pasture conditions
the report said.
Of the 408,000, 261,000 head, or
64 percent, were steers. Heifers
numbered 131,000 head or 32 per
cent.
Indications point to feeders
marketing 298,000 head during the
