Caramels, chewy and rich, have
long been a favorite confection.
From the days when we doled
them out as children, "You take
this one, and 111 take that one",
they've held their own as a candy
favorite. But these days, when caramels
are creamier and softer than ever
before they've gone social in a
big way. As sauces for ice cream,
cakes, and puddings, caramels
have graduated into a new and
interesting summer use. The se
cret of their success in this role
is the extra milk which is added
ta the confection, these days.

excellent work, but the wheat field
jielded a generous amount of wheat,
averaging better than 30 bushels to
the aero of fine quality grain.
With wheat crop failures report
ed in many sections of the country,
it is nice to have a generous yield
here.
DEPARTING FOR THE EAST
Dr. and Mrs. IL G. McClusky are
departing Monday for a vacation trip
to the east and which they expect

a summer cottage at Intake, New
York and here they will spend the
greater part of the time with rela
tives. Want ads sell all kinds of odd

A sauce made with twelve car
amels, assorted blonde and bru
nette ones is the smoothest, and
richest of dressings for ice cream,
and the answer to the r busy
hostess' prayer for greater sim
plicity in summer meal prepara
tion. A dozen ordinary sized
caramels will provide sufficient
sauce for six servings of ice
cream. Simply melt the caramels,
with a half cup of water, in the
top of a double boiler, stirring
occasionally. Vanilla and choco
late caramels blended together
are a pleasing combination just
the right topping for a dishful
ol ice cream.

Farm Prices
Climb to Much
Higher Level
Generally Well Above the Quotations
Reached During the Month
of July, 1934.
Chicago. Farm commodities
prices, rising with drouth, were at
or near the highest levels of the sea
son with few exceptions and were
generally well above quotations early
in July, 1934, the year of the pre
vious great drouth.
Soaring in sympathy with market
quotations, retail food costs were ap
proximately the highest since April,
1931. The bureau of labor statistics'
latest figures indicated the index of
retail food costs rose 2.1 percent dur
in gthe first two weeks of June.
Domestic grain prices were swept
upward 2 to 3 cents a bushel on
principal markets, propelled by a
wave of buying that was inspired by
fresh reports of drouth and insect
damage in the North America grain
belt. Some corn and oats futures
sold at new peaks for the season and
wheat was near its previous high
level. July wheat, closing at 95 7-S,
was almost a dime higher than a
year ago and about 7 cents above two
years ago. July corn, quoted at 67
7-8, was 12 cents below a year ago
but 11 cents higher than two years
ago.
Butter quotations were the high
est for June in six years. Eggs, al
tho fractionally lower than a week
ago, also were near the season's peak.
Soy beans advanced another cent
to $1.01 a bushel for No. 2 yellow,
highest in two years. Bean prices
have gained 17 cents since the first of
June and they were the most expen
sive grain listed on the Chicago cash
market, bringing a cent more than
best wheat grades.
Hogs this week sold at the high
est level in two months and better
grade steer prices have advanced
lately altho the general steer market
is low. Wholesale prices of most
grades of steer beef are 4 to 25 per
cent lower than a year ago while
most fresh pork cuts are wholesaling
7 to 14 percent lower. Two years
ago hogs sold around $5 per hun
dredweight. This week's top so far
is ?H.

NEW BANK FOR GREENWOOD
A charter was granted by the state
banking department for the estab
lishing of a bank at Greenwood. The
mover of the new enterprise is L. J.
Dunn of Lincoln who has been en
gaged in the banking business for
many years and the bank will be in
charge of B. M. Hanson as cashier
who also comes from Lincoln and
who has been cashier of one bank
for sixteen years. Mr. Dunn was in
Plattsmouth Friday to have the char
ter registered, the bank being open
for business as soon as the registra
tion was completed.
Amonjr the incorporaters are a
number of men of Greenwood. The
capital is authorized at $25,000.
Among the incorporaters are L. J.
Dunn, B. M. Hanson, Lincoln; E. A.
Landon, N. D. Talcott, Mabel C.
Boucher, J. S. Gribble. Albert Woit
zel and E. J. McDonald.
The new institution starts out un
der very auspicious conditions and it
looks like there would be a good
business from the very start.
KANSAS HAS CASH BALANCE
Topeka, Kas. The state of Kansas
closed its 1936 fiscal year with a
cash balance of approximately $1,
250,000, A. R. Jones, state account
ant, estimated.
While exact figures will not be
available before July 15, Jones said
present indications were the state
closed the year with nearly $250,000
more in the treasury than the $1,
$$7,000 cash balance on June 30,
1935. The increase, he said, was
accounted for by better collection of
fees and taxes, expenditures for both
years having been approximately the
same around $7,63 6,000. Every
state institution has gone thru the
year on a cash basis and kept within
the budgets, Jones said.
LEAVE FOR MNNES0TA

Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Brown and
children, Renee and James, with Mr.
and Mrs. George Jaeger, departed this

California. With them is Miss Ada
Tannersen, a niece of Mrs. Fornoff,
who who Is to stay for a longer visit
at the Fornoff home.
Persistentency is what gets re

Flexible Ter
race Machinery
Badly Needed
New Problems for the Corn Belt
Farmers as Field Con
tours Change.
With the coming soil conservation
practices, such as terracing, corn
farmers are faced with a new prob
lem to get terraces adapted to mod
ern machinery or machines flexible
enough to be handled effectively on
terraced fields. C. K. Shedd, of the
United States bureau of agricultural
engineering, developed this idea for
members of the American Society of
Agricultural Engineers at Estes Park,
June 23, in discussing operation of
corn planting and cultivating ma
chinery on terraced land. He pointed
out some machines which are prac
tical on terraced fields and others
that are not but may be made to work
better if changed somewhat.
Terracing to assist in controlling
soil erosion in cultivated fields is
comparatively new in the corn belt,
he pointed out. The terraced acre
age is small in proportion to the
total acreage under cultivation.
Shedd is the bureau engineer in
charge of research studies in corn
production machinery, co-operating
with Iowa state college agricultural
experiment station.
Farmers need more definite infor
mation on the "advantages of contour
planting so that they can determine
how far they can afford to go in
changing over to terracing. A com
parison should be made of contour
and straight row planting in field ex
periments, said Shedd. This should
include studies of labor and power
expenditures, soil and water conser
vation, and crop yields.
Farmers who have aready terraced
land and who are listing or drill
planting, place the rows on contours
or parallel to the terraces. Where
the corn is check planted, the rows
must be straight; they therefore cross
terraces at all sorts of angles. With
some types of terraces farmers have
varying degrees of difficulty in oper
ating corn machinery over them
Planters do not place the seed at uni
form depths. Two-row cultivators.
eithe rtractor or horse drawn are not
flexible enough to work well over
them. Single-row horse drawn culti
vators usually operate without much
difficulty if provided with the pivot
wheel feature for guiding.
The tractor should have a mini
mum amount of side slippage so that
it will stay on the lister ridges, even
where there is a good deal of slope.
It should also be built to follow the
rows accurately on reasonably sharp
curves. With the lister or cultivator
lifted, it should be capable of turn
in garound on one drive wheel as a
pivot.
The lister should be a two-row
implement attached to the tractor,
so that it can be lifted clear of the
ground in turning. The cultivator
also should be mounted on the trac
tor so that it can be lifted clear of
the Ground. The more flexible the
cultivator is when in working posi
tion, the better work it can do.
ACCIDENTAL DEATHS
In the 16 weeks period, from
March 1 to June 21, 1936, 230 peo
ple have died from unnatural causes
and an additional 6,449 have been
injured in varying degrees. In this
group 73 have been injured in such
a manner as to fall in the classifi
cation of "disabled."
The home, according to this report,
was the scene of 1,005 accidents, 32
persons having lost their lives while
620 were injured.
Automobiles caused 87 deaths, 39
disabilities and 1,789 injuries. Sum
