We hsd occasion last week along With Enoch Carlson of Alto to weigh In a Utter of Torasnlre pigs ownSd by C. A. Story and Sons of Grand Jlaplds. We believe thia litter will set a record for Michigan. 14 of the 17 pigs farrowed were weighed In at 56 days with a total of 568 lbs. or an average of 40 lbs. per pig. This gilt Is enrolled In the Michigan sow testing project and we should hear more of It In the

future.

Had a nlee visit with Art Hoek-water of Ke^t City, R. 1, in regard to Irrigation of plcklee. We have been watching and waiting for someone to try Irrigation of this crop. He tells me that two of his neighbors. Art Jonnaon and Art Simons, are also planning on Irri-gating pickles this year. I t seems to us that this would be a very profitable enterprise. If you folka are Interested I 'm sure the Hoek-waters Would be glad to have you come take a look.

E. W. Ruehs and Elton Smith of Caledonia are going to do some-thing about It. They are arranging t o h a v e an airplane spraying with DDT.

Rura l ^XTele -news HARD-WORKING WIRIS-Help ing to bring telephone service to more farm families is the application of Mcar^ier,, equipment to rural tele-phone lines. This special equipment used for years on Long Distance lines, enables several con-versations to travel along the same pair of wires at the same time and without interfering with each other. Recent developments indicate tha t under suitable conditions, extra rural circuits also can be provided in this manner.

RADIO IT TUiPHONI-Radio networks are really networks of special telephone cir-cuits linlring groups of radio stations. A pip-gram originating in one station is sent out by telephone wires to other stations. From there it is broadcast to yon by radio. Thus the tele-phone system helps make possible one of today's most important sources of news, infor-mation and entertainment on the farm.

/M ONI LITTLI C A U - T h e telephone rings. It's your tractor dealer calling to say that axle won't be ready today after all, and a needless trip to town is saved. Almost every call saves you time and trouble, helps yon get so much more done — order supplies, make-appointments, or talk to a neighbor. For the small price you pay for tele* phone service, you get a lot of value.

The Truth About Electric Appliance Prices

Art Prices Too High? Are You Gettlnq

tho Now Features and Quality You

Expoctod In Post-war AppHancos?

If your family baa beeh thinking of buying a new appliance, you may be confused by conflicting stories about today's prices and values.

The feet is, there is no purchase you can make at this time that brings more real value for your mon-ey than a good electric appliance. While the cost of living is up 70 percent*over 198?, according to gov-ernment atatlatlcs, the average price Increase of ranges, refriger-ators, washing machines, water heaters and dishwashers Is only a little more than half that!

For example, today your can buy a brand new 1949 Hotpolnt Refriger-ator for 1180.75—only |10 more than the same kind and size cost In 1939 —and this 1̂ a lot better refriger-ator and has many Improved feat-ures. When you consider that the dollar today la worth Just 60 per-cent of Its 1930 vaiue, you must agree that thle new, vaatly-lmprov-ed Hotpolnt poet-war refrigerator actually costs a lot less.

Compare this with the price In-crease In automobiles, houses or almost anything you buy—up from 50 to more than 100 percent

We see no reason for you to wait to buy a new appliance. At today's new low appliance prices you get the greatest doliar-for-dollar val-ues we have ever been able to of-fer. We say this knowing full well that our future depends on satisfy-ing you. We sell a lot of things— everything for the complete elec-tric kitchen and home laundry—so we can't afford to lose you as a future customer when you buy any one of our appliances.

"You can Look to Hotpolnt for the Fineet—FIRST' Is no Idle state-ment. We mean It. Sc, we back It up wltFT the greatest dollar-for-dol-lar value In quality appliances ever offered—right now!

Is Michigan slipping aa a tourist atate? ^

James Welsh, the "Old Traveler" of the utomoblle Club of Michigan, thinks ao.

In fact, he provoked quite a con-troversy among Michigan newa-paper editors by saying Juat thia at a summer meeting of the Michi-gan Preaa Aasociation at Hotel Top-In-a-bee on Mullet lake, Cheboygan [county.

While the prodding "Old Travel-er" may have a good pohit or two, his general thesis of a decline in the Michigan tourist Industry waa im-mediately challenged by many booster-minded newspaper editora.

Robert Furlong, aecretary of the Michigan Tourist Council, added i bis conviction to the controversy:

"Despite a state advertising bud-i get approximately one-half that of! the leading states, Michigan ranked third among the 48 states in 1048, according to an independent na^ Uonal survey, and thia year should be tied with California for second place in dollar volume.

"New York, aurprialngly enough to aome people, leads all atatea in tourlat travel business. New York City la chiefly reaponaible for thia. New York'a atate advertiaing bud* get for vacation promotion is $500,-000—Juat double that of Michigan. California's atate budget is nearly as high.

"Don't overlook these facts : , Michigan has 8,000 miles of shore line on the Great Lakes.
