...recent mutant, oat rust 264, has been one of the nastiest of all, defying all efforts at control. Now, after a long search, the Israeli scientist who first identified the virulent fungus back in 1953 has not only found a wild strain of 264-proof oats, he has a plan that will enable farmers to prepare for the inevitable appearance of the next new deadly mutant...
...Gerbils, or sand rats, may make desirable pets, but they are voracious seed and plant eaters. Once they become abundant, they are hard to eradicate, and the damage they do to agriculture is enormous: in countries where they have established colonies, they do heavy damage to wheat, oat and other grain crops. The introduction of gerbils is banned by both the California Department of Agriculture and the Department of Fish and Game, which enforce a joint regulation...
...predictable foolishness of a plot that further synopsis would condemn, Bride is an amiable featherweight entertainment, mostly because its cast has buoyant appeal. Masquerading as the frontier wilderness of Montana circa 1890, California's High Sierra country fills the wide screen with some breathtaking acreage that no TV oat opera can duplicate. Actor Ebsen seems an authentic embodiment of covered wagon grit. And though Dullea's bad boy characterization scarcely conceals that he is easily redeemable-a sort of boor next door-his warm, fresh, quietly persuasive scenes with Actress Nettleton recall his vivid debut in David...

To keep crackling, Kellogg's puts its faith in new products, has introduced ten new cereals in the last 13 years. The latest is a circular, multicolored, fruit-flavored oat cereal called Froot Loops, which Kellogg's is pushing as suitable-or possibly sootable-for all the family from 5 to 95. Just as pre-sugared cereals became the big sellers of the '50s, Froot Loops may signal a new trend in the '60s toward fruit-flavored...
Nearly all the new shows are an hour long. So to outdo everybody, NBC has produced TV's first go-minute western, outdoing themselves as well. Called The Virginian and starring James Drury and Lee J. Cobb this fantastically hyperthyroid oat is only tenuously based on Owen null novel. The background is beautifully filmed in Wyoming in color, and, true enough, the dialogue rings. But the stories could happen in Flatbush, Beirut, or Port of Spain. A real western is an American commedia dell' arte, a stylized and inviolable cliche that is easily destroyed by subtlety and depth...
