October THE 6. 1S82 Agriculture Farmers Need - WASHINGTON (UPI) As net farm income has fallen during the last three years, American farmers are becoming increasingly dependent on money earned at jobs off the farm, the government says. This year, farm families are expected to earn an average of about $17,000 through jobs, a recent report by the Agriculture Department said. In 1981, farm families averaged $16,145 from non-farjobs.

Would you like your family to acquire & appreciate a taste for food without excessive salt? Has your doctor advised you to cut down your intake of salt for the following medical reasons? High blood pressure, edema (pregnancy), weight concerns (obesity), heart problems or kidney or liver disease. Are you looking and waiting for an unsalted, delectable orary director. Show superintendents are Bill Dammer, Craig Rasmussen and Blaine Spencer. A snack bar will be open for light refreshments during the show. alternative? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, Safeway has an answer and it's a delicious answer. In a constant effort to remain responsive to knowledgeable consumer demands, Safeway Stores announces the development of 3 varieties of unsalted breads. The unsalted bread line, under the Mrs. Wright's UNSALTED label, is formulated to provide a delicious, palate pleasing, fresh alternative to health conscious families and individuals wishing to limit their salt intake without paying a premium price. Sodium, which is a component of salt, is an essential mineral necessary for good health. However, most Americans consume far more salt than they need. Some evidence suggests that excessive sodium consumption contributes to the development of health problems in people of all ages. The taste for salt is believed to be an acquired habit formed in early childhood. As a result, most of us are accustomed to seasoning our food with salt in cooking, baking and at the table. Knowledgeable individuals who wish to reduce their salt intake, find it difficult to adjust to this "taste transition." Not only have customers found unsalted products hard to find, but delicious unsalted products have been almost next to. impossible to locate. One of the primary functions of salt in breads is that of flavor modification. The result of added salt in bread is a flavor. When salt is left out. many people find that bread possesses a "cold" or bland full-bodi- ed well-rounde- d, flavor. The challenge is to find other flavorful ingredients which must be added to help compensate for this loss. Safeway has accepted and met this challenge with the NEW Mrs. Wright's UNSALTED Bread varieties which include the following: me I .:y m,. .... ml Two new ways to get a market linked rate of interest. m Prudential's Floating- - rate Securities Each of these new plans offer a market linked rate of interest changing each week with the market indexed to the weekly auctions of short term Government Securities.
