Good Feed Can't Be Cheap A good manager never buys the cheapest feed he can find. He doesn't consider the price per bag but the cost to produce a pound of meat or a doxen egg. There is only one right way to feed commercial feed to get the best results and that is the way the manufacturer prescribes. The individual who thinks he knows better how to feed a bag of feed than the manufacturer does is taking the long and expensive road to profit. A bag of feed cannot perform miracles. Good feed, good management and cleanliness must go together to get the most profit. Aim at a high market, July to September for pork, July through December for eggs.

Better Food Habits Advised in "so-called" Declining Years For less decline in the so-called "declining years," better food habits are recommended by Kathryn Cooley, extension food and nutrition specialist at the University of Nebraska. For longer life, people need to give more consideration to di ets mat -win make those extra years healthier, happier and more useful. Middle-aged per sons especially should check vhat they eat. They should have diets that will prepare them for healthier later years. Even the elderly often can do much for themselves by learning what foods they need and why. As research has shown that food has much to do with many of t3 '.chronic ;iils common among the elderly, more atten tion is being given to diets that will stave off these conditions. A nutritionally adequate diet for the elderly is similar to that for any adult. First emphasis should be on foods supplying nu trients for repair and upkeep of the body. Then other foods can be added as needed to meet en ergy needs. Because elderly peo ple are less active than younger adults they need less foods sole ly for energy. But their need for protein, minerals and vitamins Is the same or even greater. Thus, from middle age onwardi well-balanced diets should in clude generous amounts of milk and milk products, lean meat, poultry, fish and eggs as well as vegetables and fruits, espe cially. leafy green and yellow ve getables and tomatoes and citrus fruits. - The nutritional problems common among the elderly de I serve greater understanding to ' day when more than 8 percent of our population are over the age of 65 years. Three basic rea sons for these problems are: poor food habits of long stand ing; low incomes; effect on ap petite and food Intake of diffi cult adjustments often required during this period of life. 4 teem Special Meeting Slated Tuesday by Rod and Gun Club A special meeting of the Plattsmouht Rod and Gun Club has been called for Tuesday night, March 2.
