Bruising Causes
Great Meat Waste
Packing Industry Loss
$25,000,000 Last Year
America’s livestock industry lost
$31,914,677 in dead, bruised and crip
pled animals in 1949.
Meat waste due solely to bruising,
much of which could be prevented
by greater care in handling of live
stock on the farm and in transit,
was more than $25,000,000.
These figures were disclosed by
the National Live Stock Loss Pre
vention Board, an organization
founded to promote better care and
handling of livestock.
In 1949 the animals dead on
arrival at the nation’s stock yards
would have filled a train 10% miles

American livestock producers
lost more than $25,000 in 1949 be
cause of waste meat resulting
from bruised animals. Pictured
above Is the carcass of a hog
which was condemned because
of bruises.
long. Meat waste from dead animals
amounted to 14,310,468 pounds, with
a value of $4,472,871. Losses result
ing from bruises and crippled ani
mals accounted for the remainder.
In order to combat this Ipss, edu
cational programs have been in
augurated by the government, agri
cultural colleges and meat packers,
pointing to the bruise and injury
losses which are revealed when ani
mals are dressed in the packing
plants. '
Many terminal markets have de
veloped comprehensive livestock
safety programs. These programs
urge greater care in the handling
of livestock from the time they
leave the farm until they are mark
eted.
Good Farm Practices
Make 'Good' Soils
“Somehow the notion gets around
that originally our farm soils were
highly productive. That is, produc
tive when first plowed. Many of
them were like the black lands in
our middle west and in central
Eurasia, for example, and in some
of the great deltas and alluvial val
leys,” says Dr. Charles E. Kellogg
of the U. S. department of agricul
ture.
However, he adds: “But most
soils are not. It is through liming
and fertilization, drainage, irriga
tion, the introduction of legumes,
and a host of other practices, that
farmers have made their soils pro
ductive.”
Many a farm wife would sit while
working at the kitchen table if there
was a stool or chair handy. A stool
hinged to a table leg so it could
easily be pushed under the table
when not in use would meet the re
quirement.
The one shown above is a simple
stool with one leg. A short arm of
wood about eighteen inches long,
ad inch thick and three inches wide,
has one end nailed or screwed to the
stool leg and the other end attached
to a table leg by a hinge.
Agricultural Stations
Gradually Restaffing
Gradual restaffing of the agri
cultural experiment stations with
scientific personnel which was not
available during the war period Is
noted in the current report on the
agricultural experiment stations.
New staff members are young
nqen who have been -ble to com
plete their advance training since
the war. Closer Integration of re
search and extension work is also
reported.
GOOD CITIZEN
American's Right to Vote Often
Abused, Corrupted, Neglected
usswon
LAST WEEK'S
ANSWER
This ts the seeend of & series of
i** articles from the booklet “Good
C/ltisen'* published by The Ameri
can Heritage Foundation concern
ing the rights and dntleo of an Amert-
ean.
o o o
Of the nine promises of a good
citizen the first is: I will vote at all
elections. I will inform myself on
candidates and issues and will use
my greatest influence to see that
honest and capable officials are
elected. I will accept public office
when I can serve my community or
my country thereby.
The right to vote—to vote in
secret and to have your votes count
—is a great right.
It is grounded in the faith that the
average judgment of all of us to
gether in the long run will be right
,—that “you can’t fool all the people
all the time.” It has many flaws. It
has been corrupted, abused and neg
lected, but by means of it the Ameri
can people over more than a cen
tury and a half have done pretty
well for themselves.
Through agents chosen by you
and others like you all laws are
made. No man, regardless of his
station in life, wields more power
than you in the voting booth.
You can also vote by not voting,
for by staying away from the polls
you can help a self-seeking minority
make the wrong decision.
Don’t be afraid to “lose your
vote.” The vote that doesn’t elect
a man still influences what he does.
A candidate who just squeaks
through knows that you and others
like you can repudiate him next
time.
In this atom-splitting age you are
voting on the gravest issues in the
history of mankind.
• • #
WHEN YOU REACH voting age you
become a member of the “ruling
class”—the one and only ruling class
of this country.
Use this power to vote.
Vote during the big year elections,
of course—and at state elections.

In general, all citizens over 21
years of age have the right to vote,
but the various states have different
laws as to how long you must live
in the same place, when to register,
etc. Jn certain states literacy tests
or poll taxes are required. In no
state is property ownership a re
quirement.
But don’t consider you have done
your duty merely by voting In na
tional elections every four years.
There are also congressional elec
tions, state elections, city elections,
and local elections of various kinds.

THERE ARE three ways to vote.
You can vote for (1) party, (2)
issues, (3) people.
If the total party program, as ex
pressed in its platform, appeals to
you as being best for the country,
it is sound to vote a straight ticket
for the people pledged to put that
program into effect
If a single Issue seems to you
more important than anything else,
it is sound to vote for persons Who
support your view of that issue, re
gardless of party.
If the ability of an individual to
judge each issue fairly and to keep
the interests of the people upper
most appeals to you, it is sound to
vote for that individual, regardless
of party or any particular issue.
But even if you spent your life
at it, you couldn’t be fully informed
on all the candidates and issues.
The ansrver is to do the best you
can. It is better to vote on the basis
of party allegiance and your own
“sense of things” than not to vote
at all Your own knowledge and con
victions, whatever they are, will be
combined with the knowledge and
convictions of a lot of other people.
As a group we are usually wiser
than we think we are.

M IKE DIDN’T INTEND to be un
reasonable about it. He had a
reputation for fairness, and he
meant to live up to it. There wasn’t
a person alive who didn’t have
faults. And knowing this to be a
fact, Mike could
understand why
such a gorgeous
creature as Ser
ena Wood fell
short of being a
paragon.
Not that Serena’s faults were any
thing to worry about If they had
been Mike would never have asked
her to marry him.
Serena’s greatest fault he
thought was her inability to get
ready to go any place on time.
Mike adopted a unique method in
order to cure this deficiency. For
a time he decided to fall in with
Serena's habits.
Thus, he would dispel any possible
doubt in her mind regarding his
purpose. Presently he would begin
to get himself ready on time and
sit around waiting. Serena couldn’t
help noticing and take heed.
Daring the next half year
Mike noted with some satisfac
tion that Serena had already
began to feel his stronger per
sonality. She was allowing her
self a bit mere time to get
dressed for parties, and once
or twice suggested to Mike that
he harry ap.
By the time the six months was
up, Serena had improved greatly.
He decided to forego his tapering
oft letting well enough alone. Three
months passed and the situation had
taken on quite a new aspect Ser
ena, unconsciously, was doing a lot
of walking ffom one room to an
other switching off lights that Mike
had left burning.
T HINGS REACHED a point at the
end of a year that called for
some sort of undertaking. Oddly,
it was Serena who brought matters
to a head.
”1 realise,” she told Mike
crossly, “thpt everyone has
their faults. Bat it does seem to
( me that yon coaid attach a itt-
i tie mere Importance to things

[ “Artifice?”
“I mean, like telling you we have
to be at a party 15 minutes before
hand in the hopes that you’ll get
ready on time. I’ve deliberately
gone into the bedroom to switch off

Let's Show World There's Life in the Old Liberties Yet
By BILLY ROSE
Hon. Harry S. Truman
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President;
I see by the papers that the Freedom Fair which was scheduled
to open in Washington in 1951 has been called off. I respectfully
" ' " ■ ' v.;
only thing worth talking about is freedom, or the lack of it, and as you
yourself have repeatedly pointed out in your speeches, our people ought to
know what they’re talking about when the subject comes up.
Well, what’s the best way to
demonstrate that there’s still
plenty of life in the old liberties?
Fastidious facts and figures?
cliche’ - studded
press releases?
Rah - rah - rah edi
torials? No, Mr.
President, not in
this day and ague.
As I see it, the
best way to stand
off the sugar-coat
ed strychnine be
ing handed out by
the kids in the
Kremlin is to hand
out a few lolly pops
of our own, and I can’t think of a
better place to do it than a 200-
acre fairground within eyeshot of
the Lincoln Memorial.
Impact-wise, what would such a
shindig actually accomplish? Not
much. Sir. if it were just a run-of-
the-Flushing-meadows type of fair.
But it would do a potent plenty 11
it were a mammoth, hit-’em-in-a 11-

cretize in terms of daily living and
loving how well our Joe Doakses
are doing compared with the Josef
Dokczes in the Iron Curtain coun
tries. ^
For example, in the exhibit area
let our big auto outfits trot out
their cars alongside a few Russian
cars, and then let them dramatize
how many man-hours of work it
takes to make one—and, even more
important, own one. And along
side the big General Motors build
ing, let’s have an even bigger
U. A. W. building in which Walter
Reuther can dramatically docu
ment how much better off his men
are in terms of union contracts,
| working conditions and pension
! plans than the auto workers in the
various Commielands.
Once and for all, let's pull out
all the stops and compare our
homes, schools and churches with
theirs. Let's exhibit an Ameri
can voting booth with a curtain
on the door, and next to it e Rus
sian voting booth with an
N.K.VJD. man where the curtain
ought to be.

and instead Qf the old-hat Ubangl

camp. •

WITH NO POMP but plenty of
documented circumstance, one big
lesson is a cinch to emerge from
jthe fair 1 envision: That “degener
ate democracy’’ still provides the
bestest for the mostest; that our
way of life has got what it takes,
and it would be downright silly to
let the Commies take what we’ve
got.
Of course, Mr. President, there
isn’t a chance of getting such a
fair on by next year, but if the
right words were dropped into the
right ears pronto, there’s no reas
on why the grand opening couldn t
be set for ’52. And, according to
my astrologist, that would be an
auspicious year for a fair, seeing
as bow around that time a certain
party will be doing its darnedest
to convince the voters that it has a
special talent for making democra
cy work.
If you think well enough of this
notion to get behind it. Sir, I’ll be
glad to pitch in and help—whether
it’s making policy or pink lemon
ade. Of course, I wouldn’t do it
for free. My fee would have to be
the same as I'm getting as ad
visory director to the California
World Progress Exposition which
will be held in San Diego in ’53—a
one-pound can of good smoking to
bacco.
Respectfully,

How Do You Rate?
There are many, many
throughout this great nation
annual pursuit of the finny denizens
Is carried on under a pall which
impairs its enjoyment and ofttimes
is mysterious in nature to those it
enshrouds.
For these gentlemen are of that
lonely fraternity who are unable to
keep a fishing partner for any length
of time. Time and time again they
are invited out by this or that ang
ler of the neighborhoods—some of
them their very best friends but,
oddly enough, they are seldom in
vited twice by the same friend.
Why?
{ As hasy been said, the
question may never know
the offense which imposes
lation is similar t to that
about which “his best
teU him.”
The offense is simply bad
or lake manners. To the
this might seem like an insignificant
item to become 'bothered about—
but ask any oflhe angling fraternity
and ytm’U find almost one..and alh
branding it as the cardinal sin
among fishermen.
It would be difficult to list the ex
amples of bad angling manners in
the order of their, undesirability, for
the gravity of an offense may vary
with the type of angler experiencing
it. But it would be fairly safe to say
that close to the top would be the
offense of trying to hog a likely-
looking fishing spot, or rubbing it
in on a partner whose luck hasn't
been too good*
Where is the angler of any experi
ence who has not encountered that
partner who casually takes all the
best of it when in a boat with others?
This is the offender who shirks his
share of the paddling or motor care,
whose sole aim is to cast just as
fast as he can. and who is always
trying to get his lure into the best
looking spots, no matter where he
is sitting in the boat.
Then there is the Johnny-come-
lately to the fishing sport who will
come splashing through your best
pool, determined to get bis lure in
the water as close to yours as pos
sible, The almost irresistible urge
to commit mayhem on this specimen
of angling aggravation would be un
derstandable to any judge in the
land if the jurist was, or ever had
been, a fisherman.
The list could go on and on—but
the point to be made here is that vet
eran anglers who know better tfian
to commit such offenses shouldn’t
smoulder in silence when a fishing
partner commits them. Instead, they
should stop all activity at the mo
ment of offense and gently but firm
ly instruct the offender in the proper
conduct. '
At first, this may cause some
strained relations or even an occa
sional black eye; but it will be
worth it. The angler admonished
will come to see the wisdom of the
admonition, and the teacher, while
he may never reap himself the‘re
sults of the instruction, will be per
forming a real service for some ang
ling brother in the future.

Night Fishing Tip
When fishing at night, one will
find it a great help to paint the tip
top of the rod as well as the swivel
and snap of the leader with luminous
paint. This will serve a double pur
pose. It will prevent winding the
swivel into the tip guide, thus pre
venting damage to the tip and guide
—and when it is desirable to change
lures, the snap can be easily de
tected in the dark.
This makes for quick and easy
changing of lures.
