High Prices Are Often Imaginary average woman, fails to ap- -predate tie fact that many foods looked upon at certain seasons as expensive, are .really reasonable in price and sometimes actually cheap. Price is only relative, and we should remember this when we are marketing. If we don't, we are likely to- lly oil on a trangent and Tb-- come home without some of the things we need, hringing In their place certain foods that we are at present eating too freely. Let us take oranges and the present time to prove our point. This fruit sellizg todpy at a price that many women look, upon as rather high. Probably here and ther a woman is buvrng in smaller quantities or not at all, waiting: for the price to come down to last yeart leveL Is she acting wisely or even intelligently when she takei this stand? rive cents for an orange may appear high to the woman who purchased oranges last year for thirty or forty cents a dozen. But how about figuring upcn size before deciding that the price is too high. We do not hesitate to pay five cnts for a very small portion of butter, beefsteak or walnut meat, and we are so accustomed, to paying from sixty cents to a dollar per pound for such foods that we hardly think of the price. Place an orange beside five cents' worth of porterhouse steak, or five centsf worth of many of our other staple and we will see that even at sixty cents a dozen, oranges are not particularly high. Gr Fgure this rj-- . idled hfThs jpriee of ours bv the pound. Grangers selling at sixty cents a dosen about three improbably average .to the pound, bringing cur price jper pound down to fifteen cents. . 'This is interesting, isn't it? Here we have paid sixty cents a pound for butter when it was not particularly plentiful, every year since we first started to .market, and we rarely complained. We pay forty, fifty, sixty or even seventy cents a pound for meat, and still we keep comparatively quiet. But when we are paying fifteen cents a pound for oranges we begin to shout -- 'expensive." Price is merely relative. Instead of paying a high price far oranges today, we are really paying a price that is a little higher than a Tery cheap price paid when the crop was much heavier and the demand not so great. No! These is no argument by bringing up the fact that sixty cent meat is natural because it comes from the middle west and it takes a steer a long time to go from calfdom to beef dam. Your breakfast orange probably comes from California, from a tree that had been growing for years before the steert mother was born. We merely get into a rut by comparing prices wnen they high with prices when they are low, and not realizing that climate, crop, rainfall, packing, selection of quality fruit, and a dozen and one other things enter into- the high price that may prevail at a certain time. To a great extent we should forget price and think more of health. The minute we do this we will be able to save enough on foods th we ar-- now eating too heavily, to purchase all we need of the foods that we should eat more than now do. Most of us we eat too heavily of foods and protein "arbohydrate that have an acid reaction in the stomach, and not heavily enough of fresh fruits and green vegetah-fcle- s, particularly the leaf vegetable. See to it therefore that expensive carbohydrates and proteins are purchased in less quantity and with the money saved you can purchase more liberally of the desirable balancing foods, even though thy may be selling at a little higher figure than they were a mouth or a year ago. See to it that you eat heavily of ea T tables and frsh fm e of al kinds. Drink milk if you like it.

(Pnjtnd fcr Ut C Cnrtad Stats agricultural Dapartmcnt To insure fair treatment, and prevent opportunities for dishonesty in the marketing of live stock at public stockyards is a primary purpose of the Packers arid Stockyards act. which is enforced by the packers and stockyards division of the bureau of animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture. This imposes definite duties and obligations on dealers er gaged la buying and selling Uve stock at posted public stockyards. It Is no longer possible to do business "on the cuff," as was discovered to be the practice of one dealer who was cited to appear for a hearing He was charged with and admitted failure to real trouble Is that the cows do not graze enough and eaanot keep up milk production because they do not eat enough. The reasoes for not eating more are the hot weather, the flies, the unpalatable condition of the mature grass in seasons of good pasturage, or in most seasons, the shortness of the grass. Using fly repellents does not Increase the yield of milk enough to be noticeable, although by spraying the animals once a day it is possible to keep them reasonably free from flies. The most important thing to do is to make It easy for the cows to get alt the feed that they need. They should be In the pasture early In the morning and during the night, as little grazing Is done In the heat of the day. Vicious Poultry Pests Difficult to Eradicate Chicken mites are small grayish red mites about the size of a pinhead when filled with blood. They hide away during the day la cracks and crevices throughout the hen house, migrating to the roosting birds at night to suck blood. Discard any boar which has sired one or more herniated pigs. Suck a boar will transmit factors for hernia to more than keif Ms offspring. Sweet clover Is one of the best honey producing plants. The plants bloom abundantly and bees are very fond of the nectar. Sweet clover honey has highest quality. Timely succession plantings of vegetables Include endive, fennel dwarf snap beans, root eeiery, lute celery, kale, kobl rabl, and lettuce, say State college vegetable gardeners.
