Makers Of terramycin say this
intibiohc added to hog feed cuts
down both on the mortality rate
and on the number Of runts in lit
ers. speeds up growing time, and
shaves the total amount Of feed
needed by as much as 10 per cent.
Packers reason that il the same
amount Of feed could fatten more
animals, farmers could raise more.
And if meat hits the markets
quicker and animals are fatter
and less costly to raise, packers
see a chance that the nations per
capita meat consumption could
rise still further.
Americans already are eating
more beef per person than at any
time since 1907, Department Of

One Of the "old cases" in negotia-

She had not tried to hit him. but

She was not ashamed Of what

But nobody must ever know:

NEW YORK R--Miracle drugs
are having their greatest sales
growth these days down on the
farm.
Juicier meat, bigger chops and
younger, plumper broilers are
heading for the table.
The farmer is cutting down on
the amount of feed and speeding
up his marketing schedule. He
hopes that may help to halt the
decline in his cash income.
The Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago reports today that Mid
west farmers suffered three per
cent slump in cash receipts in the
first half of the year and it pre-
diets the dip will continue for a
few months at least.
But another Chicago bank, the
Northern Trust Co, notes a new
aid to farmers: TIE realization
of the effects Of vl'smin BIZ and
antibiotics on the health and
growth rate of animals has opened
up a new and promising area.
Feed supplements cradle animals
to reach market weights faster on
less feed"
Meat packers hope the trend
means more meat and greater per
capita consumption.
Drug companies have seen their
feed supplement business spurt
from a pittance in l949 TO a four
million dollar one IN 1850 and a
I35 million dollar one in 1852.

few have heard how citizens of
depressed communities have
banded together and attracted new
industries which are taking up en-
ployment slacks.
A lot of people have heard that
New England industry still depends
on antiquated customs and meth
ods. Once that was true and ex-
ampleS might still be pointed out
here and there. But tour New Eng
land today and you'll find a new
generation that has awakened to
opportunities and rev methods.
There is one other curious factor
in the myth that New England is
slipping: the public attitud e of
many New Englanders themselves.
Many Texas millionaires like to
show how rich they are. Many New
England millionaires shun a dis
play of wealth as a puritan shuns
sin.
Doleful publci statements, taken
with several grains of salt by New
EnglanderS, are accepted solemn
ly around the country. AS one in

featuring plants so per cent, Great
ing 100000 new jobs in the pro-
cess. Investments in equipment,
machinery and new construction
are better than generally assumed.
Workers have a higher take-home
pay and standard of living than
those in other regions of the coun-
try, says Massachusetts Demo
cratic Sen. John F. Kennedy.
In short, the economy of New
England on the whole is neither
depressed nor undevel0ped.
Why, then, the myth that New
England is slipping?
Probably the biggest contribut-
ing factor to the myth is the de-
cline of the New England textiles
industry. In itself that decline is
no myth. It's a fact-perhaps the
best-known economic fact about
New England.
But another fact, less known, is
the extraordinary growth of other
forms of manufacture, particular
ly the electronics industry. While
textile employment has declined
about $1,000 since 1889, other in
dustry has created 400, 900 new
jobs.

Notes
BY BILL ClBB
Key West Police Dept.

There are times when only the
comicalness of a situation saves
some of our good citizens from re.
ceiving a traffic suDR0nS. Such
was the case a few day ago.
Traffic jammed up at one of the
city's important intersections fol-
lowing an accident and in an at
tempt to clear it, this officer was
the heaviest line of cars
through a red traffic light. One
male driver refused absolutely to
obey the officers signals and be-
gan gesturing violently at the red
light to indicate why he wouldn't
drive through the intersection.
Perhaps you've experienced the
feeling of suddenly imagining a
human being in the form of an
animal. This driver so reminded
me of burro obStinately squat
ting on his launches that | al.
most broke out laughing. BY rights,
he deserved a ticket for failing to
obey q police officer. He certainly
made the traffic jam much worse
by delaying the flow for at least
30 seconds. However, ne was SC
stubbornly trying to do what he
thought was right that if ! had
taken him to court, Id probably
have been ashamed Of myself and
ended up by paying his fine out o.
my own pocket.
II should be emphasized though
that a traffic officers signals take
precedence over all mechanical de
vices. A word of warning on thi:
score don't follow the officer:
signals klindly and abandon YOU
own safe method of looking arourC
for possible hazards.
The police officer standing in al
intersection can only see in one
direction at a time. If he motions
you 10 com on, some foolish drlv
er behind him might swerve ou

he had caught her with Kinks

you hadn't done your duty. You

New drug discoveries have
helped drug companies double
their total sales since 1945 and
push them six times higher than
prewar.
But the sales charts of the vari-
Gus miracle drugs have been er-
ratio. Sulfa drugs reached their
highest dollar sales level in 194S.
Penicillin, streptomycin and dihy-
drospreptomycin dollar sales peaks
came in 1851.
Sales volume is still climbing for
the animal feed supplements, for
hormones and for the wide-range
antibiotics which livestock are also
getting these days.
The drug industry is more effu.
sive than the bankers in sketching
future possibilities for farmers,
and for the eating public.
1t says, for example. that one
pound of BIZ can fortify $50 mil.
lion pounds of a cheap soybean
base feed. Fed to broilers the
mash can bring them to market
two weeks ahead of schedule. The
same vitamin can force pigs tC

tEDlToR'S NOTE: With char
acteristic perseverance, New Eng
land Yankees are working their
way through a formidable econom-
ic problem. What they are facing
today in New England, the rest
of the country may face in time
in the inexorable evolution toward
economic maturity"-the change
from farming to manufacturing
and then more specialized fields.
Here, in the first of three search
ing articles, AP writer Charles
Mercer outlines the problem and
tells what New Englanders are do
ing about it,
