Farm ers should take time right now, if they have not already done so, to inventory their existing storage ; facilities. If a farmer does not have adequate storage space for his grain at harvest time, he will have no alterna tive but to sell all of the grain that he can't immediately feed on a depressed market.

Since the amount of Federal vaccine for use in the counties for children, (birth through 19 and pregnant women) is limited, Dr. McGuire says, "we do not give a fourth or booster inoculation at this time nor can we authorize the use of Federally purchased vaccine for this purpose." There is no contraindication to a fourth dose given by private physicians. They can give it ev ery year if they want to.
