How tender can turkey be? Thanks to new
feed developments brought to you by Nutrena
.(Cargilrs Feed Division) and other feed manu-
facturers, turkeys now grow faster and thus are
more tender. At the same time, through inn
proved methods of preparing turkeys for sale,
poultry professors are helping create a greater,
less seasonal demand for these tasty birds.

Your corn yields are greater.
this magazine is easier to read,
because of Creative Processing

Creative Processing helps make
better products for the farm:
Take hybrid corn for example ;.
Creative Professors (like Cargill's Hy-
brid Corn Division) have helped in many
ways to bring you the improved hybrids
that produce far greater yields than the
open-pollinated corn of 20 years ago.
By working closely with agricultural
colleges and experiment stations, process
sors have added greatly to the tremendous
research needed to constantly improve
hybrid seed corn varieties.
Professors have provided the plants,
equipment and knowledge necessary to
breed, pick, dry, grade, test and treat the
seed . and to make it easily available
for you to plant on your farm.
Once your corn crop is harvested, Crea-
tive Processing he Fps you another way
too. By finding new uses for corn and
other things to grow -.
Creative Processing helps make
better markets for farm products:
Take faxseed for example ;.
Because of Creative Processing, this
farm product makes possible the printing

Creative Professors have found ways to make

on this page. Most modern printing inks
are made with linseed oil. This means you
have better market for the Haxseed you
grow.
Since 1000 at least $50 new processed
uses have been found for farm grains and
their products, and today Creative Process
ing ''eats up 81 of all farm products
So you see, professors like Cargill are
constantly striving to make your life better
and your farming more profitable.

Making headlines makes better market for
the flaxseed you grow. Every year it takes the
seed from $4,000 acres of flax to make the lin
seed oil used in the manufacture of printing
inks. By constantly improving lnseed oils,
Creative Professors have helped make better
inks which help publishers get the news to you
faster at lower cost.

Traffic Board Backs
Committee Protest
On Reorganization

The Commissioners Traffic Ad-
visory Board last night voted al
most unanimously to sustain the
stand Of its executive committee
which had previously voiced its
objection to reorganization Of
the Department Of Vehicles and
Traffic.
Earlier, the D. c. Advisory
Board Of the American Automo-
bile Association voted opposition
to the reorganization plan which
would split the department be-
tween the Highway Department
and a new licensing department.
The resolution said the motor
vehicles department should be
Independent but conceded that
trafilc engineering work such as
signal work and traffic planning
might well be transferred to the
Highway Department.

newly organized Commissioners
Advisory Board took place
in the District Building board
room, with about 70 of the $50
members attending. Nine COM
mittees reported on the activ-
tiles. Some highlights were:

mended that Traffic Court judges
require all violators to view a
traffic safety film each morning
before Trafflc Court is called in
to session. This committee has
asked Municipal Court judges
to take the proposal under con-
sideration.
Enforcement Committee-Rec-
commended that the Director of
Vehicles and Traffic increase
collateral for parking on arterial
highways during the rush-hour
periods, together with con-
Sideraticn of the use of private
tow trucks by the Police De-
partment for hauling away cars
Illegally parked at such times.
Would Require Collateral.
This committee also urged
that all persons charged with
serious moving traffic violations
be required to post collateral
rather than receive traffic
tickets. This would be under
jurisdiction Of the inspector in
charge of traffic.
In other business, the board,
through Arthur Sundlun, it's
