Farm Values Increase as Demand Soars Daily Gazette, Thursday, September WASHINGTON (AP) -With more people looking to buy and fewer farms up for sale, the value of the nation's agricultural real estate has risen to $171.1 billion, up 7 per cent from last year. The government predicts the upward boost will continue foi the rest of 1966, due to a combination of factors including higher interest rates and non- farming competition for land sought for suburban development, highway building and industrial expansion. The Agriculture Department placed the March 1 nationwide average value of operating farm units at $57,100, and the average value per acre at $157, up 8 per cent from last year. Per acre values now range from $28 in Wyoming to $693 in New Jersey. The lowest state value per farm was $15,700 in West Virginia.

Two-thirds of- all farmland buyers during the year were active farmers, both owner-ovr erators and tenants.

British Machines Called Overage NEW YORK -Most of Britain's engineering factories are operating with at least 60 per cent of their production machines "over age." This assessment results from a nationwide survey of machine tools in manufacturing plants published by Metalworking Production, McGraw-Hill publication. The large-scale study covered firms in every sector of the industry and accounting in total for nearly 20 per cant of engineering employment and revealed that only 38 per cent of metalworking machine tools in use in production engineering factories are less than 10 years old.

One in every fom machines dates back to World War II or beyond. The 62 per cent ot machines that have been in use for 10 years or more, and so rate as ever age on a generally accepted international yardstick is, moreover, reckoned to be between one and two per cent greater than it was five years ago. The comparison is based on a similar survey conducted by Metalworking Production at the request of the Boarrl of Trade and the Machine Tool Trades' LOUD Philip Bardy holds ears of corn nibbled by birds on farm in Millington, N.J.. and prepares to blast off counterattack with two-foot long cannon which fires automatically every 15 minutes, scaring away birds and deer.

Mittness Addresses Society on ''Pollution' Wisconsin's new antipollution law will be no better than those employed to enforce it, State Assemblyman Lewis Mittness, a candidate for reelection, told St. Patrick's Altar Society Tuesday night.

The real challenge of the law is how it will be put into effect, according to Mittness. "People of Wisconsin must let it be known that they want waters of their state cleaned up without delay," he said "The state's elected officials, as well as state employes, must make sure the intent of the leg. islation is carried out to the let Crackdown on DST Violators Planned by ICC for Next Year WASHINGTON (AP) The government at least partly because of confusion may take it easy this year in acting against errant cities that fail to fully observe the new uniform daylight saving time law. But next year, watch out! Last April 14, President Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act of 1966, a law designed to end many years of confusion resulting from the semi-annual time-changing that took place on different dates in thousands of communities. The law fixed the Daylight Saving Time period from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.

The switchover to the new system is to be in two phases. In the first phase, all communities wishing to observe Daylight Saving Time must do so for tlie full time period. That started last April. The second phase, to become effective next April, requires that entire states must either observe or not observe the faster time. Unlike this year and past years there can be no partial observance of daylight saving time in any state.

The legislation also gave the Interstate Commerce Commission authority to enforce the law. The ICC could go to court for an injunction to prevent any community from setting daylight saving time on dates other than those specified in the federal law. But the ICC isn't gomg into court at least not this year. One reason, an ICC official says, is that "we believe states and communities should be left to their own devices to comply. We prefer always to proceed without bringing people court." Another reason, say ICC sources, is that the law is not clear about when the entire act including the enforcement provisions becomes effective.

They note that while part of the law went into effect last April, the entire measure doesn't become effective until next April. They feel their authority to go to court this year might be challenged. There could be some confusion about next year. Legislation setting up a Department of Transportation would turn over to the new agency enforcement of the daylight saving law, an ICC spokesman says. The measure, which the House has passed, is being considered by the Senate Gov ernment Operations Committee.

So, it may be the ICC never will get to enforce the new law. Knowles To Fly in To Promote Wisconsin Week Gov. Warren Knowles is taking to the air in behalf of Wonderful Wisconsin Week, Sept. 18-24. He will fly into Rock County Airport at 9:25 a.m.

INVITED NIGHTS TILL 9 SHOES Sweden Finds 1 Woman in 60 To Have Cancer woman in 60 between the ages of 35 and 50 was found to have cancer of the uterus in a recent Swedish health control survey. The study covered the province of OstergoUand souUi of Stockholm. Eighty-six per cent (13,000) of the women asked to appear for the tests complied with the request. The results of two thirds of these tests are known so far, according to Dr.

Sven Sjostedt, who headed the survey and reported on the tentative results to a conference of gynecologists in Oslo recently. One hundred seventy six cases of early cancer of the uterus, 18 serious cases and six cases of other forms of cancer have been discovered so far. The frequency of cancer is slightly higher in Ostergotland than what has been reported from some other parts of Sweden. Dr. Sjostedt pointed out that the costs for this mass gynecological health control had been surprisingly low, about $300 for each case found.
