Tobacco decline and farmer stance on prices and crops
A farmer discusses shrinking tobacco prospects for next year, shifting to corn and tomatoes. Barley reports 15 acres of tomatoes with late season growth, noting scarce plants and delayed planting. He emphasizes farming as a gamble and seeks fair prices, not a hero's spotlight, while resisting low offers and selling steers only at a fair price. An administrator notice for the estate of Cade F Newton follows, with payment and claim instructions.

Buying Frozen Fish
Mrs. LaRue Hefner from Penn State extension stresses choosing fish that are solidly frozen with no odor, discoloration, or brown tinge. Buy fillets and steaks wrapped in moisture vapor proof material and keep frozen until use. Do not refreeze once thawed.
