Sound Livestock Picture In Kansas Winter Feeds
The Kansas Weekly Weather and Crop Report notes cattle confined to winter feeding areas across most of Kansas due to cold and blowing snow. Demand on local feed supplies remained heavy but adequate. Movement of cattle to markets increased in west central regions as farmers sold excess stocker and feeder cattle. Young stock remained in good to fair condition, early calving continued with light losses in the southwest, and early furrowing and lambing losses were generally light despite the cold.

By 1972 about 801 miles of interstate will be open, and four lane routes demand increased enforcement.

Easy On The Gas Key To Starting
Ottawa service station operator Hank Gilroy advises two slow pumps on the foot feed to start a cold car in good condition. In winter, he says cars often flood from excessive accelerator use. helpers bring a jumper battery, bypass the carburetor breather, and use a tool in the choke to prevent coking, then start the engine. If needed, they tow the car to the shop to clean spark plugs and perform further checks. Do not pump too much.
