have disappeared, farmers and ranchers still need their guns almost as much, as ever. Where the rifle was once needed to life, the rifle and shotgun today help preserve the livelihood of those who live on the land. To many, firearms are still necsssary agricultural or ranching "tools." For pest and varmint control, firearms are often far more effective than traps and less dangerous than poison, and in many cases Bre To many, firearms are still necessary agricultural or ranching tools. They are effective in the extermination of pests and varmints. the only means to destroy certain birds and animals that damage crops, stored -grains and produce and kill poultry.

The farm boy with a .22 caliber rifle is probably the world's champion pest exterminator. For rats, sparrows, rabbits, squirrels, gophers, moles and crows and other small pests that can be shot at close range, uses .22 short cartridges which are adequate and economical, but long rifle cartridges are much better for longer ranges and far more effective. One of the best low-priced beginner's 22 that's come out in years is a single-shot bolt action with "an automatic safety that never forgets." This Model 47 is so designed that as the bolt is opened to permit loading, it sets the safety which must be moved manually before the rifle can be fired. Increased Dairy Product Prices Forecast for '51 Milk and dairy products prices in 1951 will be moderately higher than in 1950, most dairy experts believe. A stronger demand will more than offset the effects of large carry-in stocks and probably smaller exports.

Farm production of milk in 1951 is likely to be little different from the 120.5 to 12J billion pounds in prospect for this year. Dominent factor in the 1951 outlook is the prospective sharp increase in demand, stemming from larger defense outlays. Both employment and wages are rising. Disposable incomes will reach a new high next year. Many dairymen expect total cash receipts from marketings of all products in 1951 to increase more than expenditures, thereby giving a net increase in farm income.

The increased income will probably exceed increases in expenditures. Three-Winged Chicken Technicians Rosemary Peplinski (left) and Olive Newton of the University of California medical school are studying one of the three-winged chickens used in skin graft studies. The third wing, transplanted from another chick from 'egg to egg before bjrth, is attached to the chicken's breast. TJ.C.L.A. researchers are trying to determine why a chicken wing can be successfully tran- planted before birth, but not after birth.

The answer may be-a big help in the progress of surgery. Chicks involved in the experiments grow up to be healthy hens and roosters, except that half of them have three wings and the other half only one. Egg Production at New High- in October, Report A record rate of lay and the largest October egg production of all time were reported by the U. S. department of agriculture.

Farm flocks laid 4,014,000,000 eggs in October, six per cent more than in- October last year and 37 per cent above the 1939-48 average. With favorable weather throughout most of the counti-y, produc Uon was at record levels in all freas except the south centrai. SUNNVSIDE by Clark S. Haas LISTEN OON'T HAVE TO SET SO AUl.

They'll be just right for mending the stockings you still have. When there's nobody around to hold a hank of yarn while you wind it into a ball, drop the hank over a lamp shade that revolves easily and start winding. Leather chairs can be cleaned by rubbing them with a soft cloth dipped in ordinary milk--or better still, in beaten egg white. When they're dry, go over them again with a clean soft cloth. Mild soap and lukewarm water will do for imitation leather.

To prevent cracking and peeling, follow the washing with a thin coal of petroleum jelly. Lots of house dresses, ready for discard, can easily be made over into aprons; so can cast-off playsuits, but more easily. Just take the skirt of a playsuit which you used to tie in front and reverse it. That is, tie it in back, and you'll have an apron in front of you. If someone burns a hole in a leather-covered table top, hide it by melting candle wax of a matching color; pour it into the hole and smooth it out while it's soft.

Ordinary starch will often put a whitish cast on black and dark- colored clothes, unless 'you do something about it. Put a small amount of leftover coffee--the brew, not the grounds--into the starch. In starching flimsy curtains, ordinary methods won't always distribute starch evenly throughout the fabric. Try.this: have the starch solution boiling hot, dip the curtains in, and then put them through the wringer. Using His Head Mozart, who was a pupil of Haydn's, once made a bet with the master that he could compose a piece that Haydn could not play.

Within five minutes Mozart dashed off a script and handed it to Haydn. "What's this?" he exclaimed after he had played a few bars. "Why here is a note to be played in the middle of the keyboard, when the hands are stretched out to both ends of the piano. Nobody can play such music." Smilingly, Mozart took Haydn's place at the instrument and when he came to that note, he leaned forward and struck it with his nose--a member with which Mozart was amply supplied. The Accent Nat Goodwin had an unenviable reputation among his fellow actors for--well, shall we call it extreme parsimony? One day he approached a table in the Lambs New York, at which two other historians were seated, and remarked that he was thinking ol writing his autobiography.

"With the accent on the 'buy'?" asked one of the actors meaningly.
