Livestock Need
Ice Free Water

less plenty OF ice-free water Is avail
able at all times.
Specialists at VPI say too many
farmers take the livestock water
supply for granted. II cattle and
hogs are to make the greatest
gains. they must have plenty Of
water
On many farms. the specialists
say. the water supply is the weakest
link in the entire livestock produc-
ton program. Even the best in feed
and forage can't offset a restricted
water supply.
Automatic, heated waterars pro
vide the best means for clean
and forage can't offset restricted
fresh ice-frce water. With today s
pressure water systems. automatic
fountains can be placed III every
feed lot on the farm.
Operating costs for automatic
Waterers are SIN ESPECIALLY
when the savings in labor ire con
sidered. The cost for electricity tc
run an automatic watering system
for so to l25 hogs is estimated al
less than $40 a year.
Electric power suppliers and local
equipment dealers can help farmers
design a system 10 meet their indi
vidual needs

General
Prices Of most Virginia farm
commodities during 1858 viii aver
age out close to 1857 levels but there
may be fairly sharp differences

one product with another.

Somewhat on the darker SIDE,
there probably will be more COM

There may be fewer dollars Tor

farmers as result Of expanded
missile and defense programs and
drastic Congressional cuts IN soil
bank funds.
Broilers
Broiler production probably VIII
show an increase comparable TO
last years six per cent. but IN
creased consumption and higher red
meat prices will probably help hold
farm prices to about 1857 levels. An
increase Of six TO 10 per cent could
mean lower than last years prices.
Eggs
Fewer potential layers probably
will keep egg prices above 1857 for
the first half of 1883 They were y
per cent above in mid-DecemDer
But the big swing toward large
commercial flocks with production

ton Will probably push production

TOO MANY BOYS NOW
ON MEMS JOBS HERE

WASHINGTON, D. c = The
day of reckoning for the USA
is near-many other programs in
the United States are as loosely
designed as our missile program
The reason is We have too many
boys on mems jobs.
Do people get a position by
merit or for political reasons?
Some Southern Senators are
worried because We are so back
ward in our scientific progress
Yet those same men have been
working overtime to keep the
status quo for colored people,
others only wink at the oppres-
sion of colored people.
Men are deceitful, they will not
use the came transportation that
was popular SO or IS years ago.
Yet those same evilminded men
fight on the Senate floor to
keep the colored people, in the
same political rut of 70 years ago.
If the United States is to sur
vive, people in the administra-
tive and legislative branches as
we'll as the judicial branch must
break away from kindergarten
practices of the present.

The wicked South used the
local courts to harass the col
ored people, beginning with Miss
Autherine Lucy and the Univer-
slty of Alabama.
When the Governor of Arkan-
aas called out the National Guard
to challenge the Federal court,
was the Governor cited for COM
tempt? No, he is the ring leader
of all the disturbance at Central
High School.
Our legislative memory is very
short. Just a few years ago they
were. witch hunting among the
scientific groups of the United
Safes. There are still some peo-
pie who, if you d. not 60 along

you Red.

Statesmen and women, and
others who use their cars exclu-
sively for business, may deduct
the full cost of upkeep, including
gasoline, oil, repairs, washes,
garage rent, insurance and de-
probation.
If the car is used for both
work and pleasure, only the
percentage of business use may
be claimed. Figure this per-
centage by estimating the miles
used for business and dividing
by the total miles driven in 1857.
Remember, however, that ex-
penses of driving car to and
from work are not deductible.
Some expenses incurred in OPP
Grating an automobile for per-
sonal use also are deductible. (But
be careful not to duplicate
amounts claimed as business ex-
penses.) If you plan to itemize
your deductions on the long form,
you may claim:
1. License tags and annual car
registration fees.
2. State gasoline taxes. EST.
mate the total number of miles
driven last year, divide by your
cars average mileage per gall

by state tax per gallon.
3. State or local taxes on the
total price of a car purchased in

car on the installment plan, you
may deduct the interest on your
contract.
5. Any casualty or theft loss

from fire, lightning, storms, hail
or flood also is deductible.
