Oleo’s cheaper price has been its chief selling point. Butter retails | now in New York around 80 cents a pound and oleo around 30 cents. | - Citing Department of Agriculture | figures, the margarine industry says its production last year to- taled 1,300,000,000 pounds, a jump of 23 per cent over 1951. Creamery butter cutput is esti- mated by the department at 1,205,- 700,000 pounds. But the butter in- | dustry says that pérhaps an ad-! ditional 200 million pounds were | churned on the farms. The government got into the but- | ter business due over supply situation in 1949-50— because butter production is 15 per ¢ent higher, than the 1947-51 average. Consumption last year fell to 8% pounds a person, com- pared with 10% pcunds in 1950. The new secretary of agriculture | would like to get uut of the parity support deal, warning dairy farm- ers it ‘‘will price them out of the market,” but he’s giving the in- dustry another year “to solve its own’ problems.” Margarine makers are having their problems, feo. The industry has expanded so fast—some 22 makers with 42 plants in the 1940s and. 34amakers now with 60 plants —that competitioff is keen.

And a little cabin airplane kept |flying lower and lower, until fi- nally it plopped right in the middle of rice field near Mont Belvieu Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. James Chesser, flying from Corpus Christi, Tex., to their Atlanta, Ga., home weren’t hurt — but they were disgusted. They told Wendell Irish, 18, who came to lead them out of the rice field to take the plane and keep it. They boarded a bus to continue their trip. opened the door, and she was all over squirrels.” Stalls put 12 traps in the yard and in a month got 85 squirrels. But— “The neighbors got mad at me and called the police. Of course, the police told them I was doing my duty, but it just shows you how excited people can get.” New hope for relief from asthma parox- yams is seen today in reports of success with & palliative formula which acts to relieve congestion.
