Poultry, Egg Prices Fall
"It's still a lot of money for a stinking鸡." Clinton Harwood said.
Harwood, wood of Harwood's Wholesale Meats, RFD 5, was referring to his store's 64-count-a-pound price tag on chickens. Two weeks ago Harwood's chickens sold for 87 cents a pound, 23 cents more than the current price.

KU Scientists To Check Out Skvlab Again
University of Kansas scientists will get another opportunity in the middle of September to determine whether the sensing device used for Skylab 2 are functioning correctly.
The S183 Radscat high frequency radar antenna aboard the space laboratory, was developed from a proposal by R. K. Moore, director of KU's remote sensing laboratory, and F. T. Ulaby, associate professor of electrical engineering.
The object of the September experiment is to monitor Skylab's antenna pattern to determine the area of the antenna's radiation like and whether it is operating correctly.
A similar experiment was successfully conducted in June during the voyage of Skylan 1, but attempts to experiment with the second Skylan were cancelled earlier.
The Radscat antenna is a combination of a radiometer, which measures the temperature of the earth and atmosphere, and a scatterometer, which measures radar signals. It was used to determine thermal characteristics of the Earth on a regular basis.
The antenna pattern is similar to the beam of a flashlight, in which light created by a small bulb is formed into a beam by a mirror. The antenna pattern is also a beam created by a reflector antenna.
"We want to learn what the antenna pattern looks like," William Spencer, project engineer and Skylab coordinator for remote Sensing Laboratory, said Tuesday.
The scientists will measure the Skylab antenna field with five portable receivers
The receivers and other equipment that will be used in the experiment were built at
The results of Skylab 2's sensor readings will be returned when the astronauts are brought home in late September or early October.

Harwood, like other Lawrence meat retailers, has been forced to reduce his price for chicken in the last two weeks because of lessening consumer demand.
A Kansan survey of retailers yesterday revealed a sharp decline in egg and poultry prices. Price reached record highs on July 15, when it was lifted July 18 for all foods except beef.
"I just suppose that people stopped buying the products after they got so high," Charlie Goble, owner of Ogleb's Food Market, 547 Indiana, said yesterday.
LeRoy, Crumet, meat department manager at Rusty's Hirschcrest, 909 Iowa st. chicken prices there had dropped six cents a pound in the last two weeks.

Lawrence Hutchins, sales manager for Seymour Poultry Co., Topeka, said that although there was an occasional shortage of meat there was no real problem with the supply.

Gerry Wallace, assistant meat department manager at the Dillon Store, 1312 W. 6th St., said that a decline in consumer demand for poultry had been responsible for the price drop and that the store's inventory increased again with the lower prices.

the government would leave
windows alone.*
