bidding, however, he may pay the prime
on the open market, as many do, he may
find that, instead Of paying perhaps cents
over the market as he intended he has ac-
tually paid or 10 cents over In such
case his contribution might turn out to be
500 instead of the $25 or $50 he had in mind.
An experience of this kind sometimes re-
suits in misunderstanding and in the loss
of supporter for future sales
But the most serious effect is on the
youngster who thinks he has learned what
prime steer looks like and how much feed
and handling it takes to make that grade
He is due for rude awakening when he
feeds his first steers for the commercial
market
Like a baseball umpire, the livestock
judge has payless, thankless job. Recent
changes in USDA market classifications
year. In some cases the Woodworking judge
may rationalize overgrading with the
thought that he is encouraging the boys and
girls And many parents on the sidelines
have been too quick to insist that "Johnny'S"
steer is @just as good" as another one.
Some sales have been handled very care
fully and judges have co-operated in careful
grading of calves. In other cases overgrad-
ing has been rather general practice. We
believe most parents of 4-H and FLA young
sters, as well as extension agents, vocational
agriculture instructors and interested stock
growers who give thoughtful consideration
to the matter, will agree that accurate grad
ing is essential if the real detectives of calf
feeding projects are to be fully attained.
Only in that way can the boys and girls
receive the kind of information and train
ing that will help, instead of hinder, them
when they feed cattle for living later on.

Scrap metal is urgently required by the

Charles F. Brannan is asking all farmers
and ranchers to cooperate with the special

steel scrap, as. well as copper and lead, are
needed. Dealers are paying prices that will

officials. On the basis Of average production
for 1852 harvest the carryover in July, 1852
is now estimated at less than 325 900, 900.
In period Of initiation like the present
it is well to go slow about mourning long,
term debts. A few years from now it may
take two or three times as many bushels Of
grain or head Of livestock to pay unit Of

party. inviting her flance's family
who were, up to then. strangers
At present her friends are CIV

stance she feels that his family
should also be asked. That is
where we disagree. Which of us
is right?"
II he has a sister your daugh-
ter's age, she would be right.
But certainly it is not expected
that the older members of his
family be invited to a party for

Who Buys Flowers?
Dear Mrs. Post: A friend is
getting married soon and she is
under the impression that the
bridegroom pays for her flowers
and the flowers worn by their
mothers. disagreed and say
her familys is responsible for all
these flowers. Right?
Answer: This is a question of
locality. According to the Gus
tom of yesterday the bridegroom
always bought the brides bou-
quet and on occasion the flowers
worn by both mothers. Today
his obligation is to buy the bou-
tonnieres for his ushers. Fur
ther than this he follows the Gus
tom of his own community. This
may include the brides bouquet
and always includes the flowers

Do Easier Divorce Laws

found that the number of people
who left South Carolina to gel
divorces in neighboring States was
very small. Family life in the
State seemed to be stronger than
in many other States with high
divorce retes.
I published my findings in ar
article called THE State With
No Divorces. I'll be glad to seno
a free copy of this to any reader
who will write me in care of The
Evening Star. inclosing a stamped
self-addressed envelope. The facts
are solid, but the article itself is
now out of date because South
Carolina finally changed its con-
Istitution few years ago to adopt
a divorce lazy. There was con-
siderable talk about fraud or ir-

great pool of unhappy married
couples in the State, waiting i'm
patiently for the chance to get a
legal divorce!
Forms of law have less to do
with the divorce rate than do the
ideals and attitudes of the popu-
lation, but they do have some eff
feet. The best way to make ire
sponsible divorce less common is
to make marriage more success
full, and the best ay to do this,

What would happen if people
couldn't get divorces?
That's the question a high
school class in social science has
struck, and two members were del
egated to write me. IF the law
makes it easy for persons to gel
a divorce, does it not encourage
frivolous and unnecessary di-
vorce?" they inquire. IF people
knew that they had to get along
together-that there was no es-
cape-wouldn't they try a little
harder and therefore succeed in
getting along togethe4 ?"
That's certainly true in part
Bertha and Theresa. It's a much
debated question and not one that
can be answered easily in simple
terms.
The Province of Quebec in
Canada has no divorce law. The
only possibility of getting a di-
vorce there is to get special act
of the Dominion Parliament, and
these are not very numerous.
don't know of any investigation
on this point, but doubt if there
are any more unhappy families ir
Quebec than in British Columbia
which has the Dominion's highest
divorce rate.
In the United States, South
Carolina had until recently ne
divorce law. Indeed, divorce was
prohibited in the State constitu-
ton. What did this do to family
life in that State? 1t was otter
