This need no longer be the case. In fact, more and more homeowners are discovering that Federal assistance is avail- able to them under the Nation- al Housing Act. The Act auth- orizes Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation to give a limited guarantee to banks in return for an insurance fee paid by the borrower on loans made for a wide variety of improve- ments around the house. For the purpose of home im- provement loans, a home is de- fined as a house, multiple -fam- ily dwelling, housing project or building consisting of business premises and family housing units where the repairs, altera- tions and additions may be fair- ly considered to be primarily for the benefit of the housing units. A home does not include a building used as a hotel, motel or summer residence, or for seasonal occupancy. But it does include apartment build- ings. Home improvement loans cov- er the cost of labor, materials and equipment for many perm- anent -type alterations, repairs and additions. Home improvement loans are secured by promissory note.

Crops include 340 acres of alfalfa, 50 acres of oats and 250 of corn. Crops and feed are stored in four air -tight silos, Lunch was served to the visi- tors at St. Mary's Church, Burn- side, and dinner at the Lapeer County Centre. Building. R. S.

In the follow- ing notes he recalls features of the tour: A coffee break was held at the Alson Shoults Farm at Brown City. Two fulltime men are employed on the 343 -acre farm, with 269 acres being till- ed. Hay, corn silage, oats, corn and soy bean oil meal are used. with silage fed through a cir- cular feed, bunk. A strict cull- ing program is followed. The Ed and Bob Martus farm, operated as a partnership, em- ploys three fulltime men. To- tal acreage is 380. They have 90 Holsteins. About 40 cows per hour are milked in the double six herringbone milk- ing parlor. A mechanical feed bunk is used for feeding a high level of corn silage. They also handle 300 to 350 head of beef cattle and 40-50 Holstein steers per year. Individual calf pens with wire bottoms are used. Both farms had beautiful homes that had recently been remodelled and the ladies on the tour were taken to see the homes. All the latest equip- ment had been installed, and. in one case, where they had nine children, it was quite evi- dent that excellent planning had provided a very compact and convenient home. While the house itself was not un- duly 'large, there seemed to be plenty of room for the family. The grounds were also well kept and attractive. The Simmons Brothers utilize almost 700 acres, about 450 us- ed for crops. They have 347 steer calves, 123 heifer calves and 45 sows. Their corn crops yield 90 to 1.00 bushels to the acre and 50 bushels per acre of wheat. Lake Bros., with 100 Holstein cows, operate an eight -stall milking parlor. They use a mechanized feeding system for feeding about 70 pounds of SOMETHING FISHY HERE If you aiked a lady to hang a fish around her neck, you'd probably get slapped with it. Nevertheless. the greatest boom in post-war jewellery manufac- ture is founded substantially on fish scales. In the past twenty years, the production of imita- tion pearls in North 'America has run into billions of pearls annually. One of the two main ntethods of making these is to dip glass beads In pearl et - sauce. Basis of pearl essence is the scales of certain fish.
