Summer Projects terminated
lost week with a very profitable
and comprehensive set of projects
completed by some 10 adults, ac-
cording to Mrs. Alma Miller, in-
structor. Each adult was allowed
12 hours of classwcrk under in-
struction. A majority of the wo-
men had many more hours, some
completing as high as SO hours of
class work alone

Legumes Cause
Cattle Bloat
A clue to major ranch head-
ache, livestock bloat, has been
i found in legumes.
Agricultural researchers be-

culprit in sapomns. those plant

explain the steady increase of
bloat in recent years as improved
varieties have increased the use
of legumes in pasture mixtures

jects included study of Home
management, food budgets and
nutrition, child care and person-
al and family hygiene.
Six special reports that were
handed in at the close of the
term revealed definite interest
and desire to make a special
study of problems of homemak-
ing. Several said if the program
had been announced earlier there
would have been more adults to
participate.
It has been Mrs. Miller’s obser-
gencies involving the lives and
welfare of individuals.

severe enough in one sheep

it required immediate treatment
to prevent death.

TAX REVISION' BILL The
I vote in the Senate on the 1354
1 tax revision bill was 83 for
to 8 against. 1 voted for the bill.
It .s not a perfect measure, but
it does afford some needed re-
lief to individual taxpayers and
1 considered it an improvement
over the House bill.
WHAT THE BILL DOES: In
all, this bill provides, for the
1855 fiscal year, tax relief to in-
dividuals totaling $652.000,1500.
Here are some of the most sig-
nificant items
