The whole context Of listening to radio
has changed Radio has moved out Of the

everywhere. 1t has become an all-day COM

is portable news ticker, travelling music

!mmunization Is
Urged By State
Health Officer

early fall vaccinations will
give protection against the
influenza outbreaks that are
predicted for the coming win
ter stated DR.. A. L. Gray,
State Health Officer, today.
Since Asian influenza cpl
denies occur in cyclical fash
ion following a two-to three
year pattern, DR.. Gray said
tha: heolth authorities are an
ticipating widespread out
breaks of this flu strain dur
ing the 1962-63 winter season.
People in the high risk
group should begin influenza
vaccination in September in
order to be assured of pro-
tection," he stated.
Included in the high risk
group. he said are: Cd every
one with a chronic debilitat-
ing disease; (2) pregnant wo-
men; (3) persons in the older
age brackets = those over As
and particular those over 65
years of age.
although the influenza
virus may not be more likely
to infect persons in these spe-
Gifted groups, the occurrence
of influenza in these persons
is more likely to be a life
threatening event. said DR..
Gray.
Persons at all ages who suf-
fer from chronic debilitating
disease - such IS rheumatic
heart disease, high blood pres
sure, arteriosclerotic heart di-
sease, asthma, bronchitis, en-
physema, tuberculosis, diabe-
tes and Addison's disease =

influenza, DR.. Gray warned.
Institutions and industrial
groups can combat the effect
of large-scale absenteeism by
undertaking immunization pro-
grams, according to DR.. Gray.

Hints On Herds
For Winter Are
Gwen By MSU

State College - (SpeciaD :
AS summer draws to a close,
cattlemen's interest turn tt
methods of wintering their
herds. A recent report by Su-
perintendent Louie Walton OF
the Black Belt Branch Expert
ment Station at Brooksville
reveals some cost figures for
cattlemen in the prairie sec
ton of Mississippi.
Brood COWS carrying calves
at the Black Bet Station have
been wintered for three con-
secutive years on fescue alone
at a cost of $13 per cow for
the period of November l to
April /. Silage with frosted
pasture grass wintering has
cost $18 and a cottonseed
meal and hay program $24.5O.
The above costs may be re-
duced further when corr
fields and other grazing areas
ara utilized.
Mr.. Walton has found that
calf weights may be increased
approximately one-half pound
daily by using oat forage as
a creep supplement where as
many as 10 calves may be
grazed per acre if begun in
early November.
Where early grazing is de-
sired, oat-ryegrass forage has
provided the cheapest winter
forage. Recurring ryegrass
provides a cheap source OF
forage. except it comes later
than the above mixture. Cal
yes weighing $50 to 400 lbs.
have given more total gains
per acre than other weights.
In the prairie section Of
Mississippi, where major farm
ing interest has shifted from
crops to forage. properly ma
naeed cow-calf programs are
one of the most dependable
sources of income. Mr.. Walton
says. This is especially true
where producers have enough
land for good grazing to hold
winter feed costs to a mini
mum. His complete report is
published in the August issue
of Mississippi Farm Research
available on request from the
Experiment Station at State
College, Miss.

Glass 10 the Rescue

Winter-time is trouble-time in many parts of the country, bringing storms, hurricanes, power failures and all sorts of inconvenience.
 It's a wise idea to be pre- pared well in advance of any possible weather trouble and surprisingly, just a few simple household items will become important emergency aids. For example, during an electrical failure, your glass casserole will become indispensable. You'll be able to prepare baby's formula, heat food Cover the candle-warmer set beneath the casserole in a brass frame), make instant coffee. Always keep candles on hand, two or more kerosene lamps, extra jars of food.
