County Extension Agent
(AG), Cherokee County
4-Hfers in Cherokee
County are busy getting
their animals ready for the
Junior Livestock Show to
be held this coming March.
Ray McClain, Assistant
County Agent, and I visited
quite a few of the beef
projects this past week, and
we saw some really fine
animals.
Judging in the quality of
animals that we have seen
thus far, the coming show
should be the best show
weVe had.
4-H members will really
be buckling down during
the coming weeks. They'll
be working with their
animals each day on
leading, setting up for
show, and grooming.
They'll also be watching
their feeding program to be
ATTENTION:
Hunters and Trappers
Wanted: All types of fur.
Fur Buyer will be at Alto at
Click's Armco Service Station each
Thursday from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m.
beginning December 12, 1979 and
through the season.
We buy green or dry furs of all
kinds. Skin case or fur (like
possum) not open up the middle.

certain that animals are
carrying the right finish for
their class in the show.
When cattle producers
put hay out, most of them
figure they are feeding the
cow. And of course,
indirectly they are. How-
ever, one of our Extension
Specialists reminds us that
actually we are feeding the
rumen "bugs" or bacteria
in the animal's rumen.
These little microscopic
organisms digest the
forage for the cow and turn
it into something she can
use. To be able to digest the
hay or dry grass thorough-
ly, the bacteria must have
adequate protein. The
minimum protein for the
dry cow is about 7 percent.
For cows nursing calves,
for pregnant heifer, and
growing steers and heifers,
it would need to be more
like 12 percent. For the
younger cattle you might
also need a supplement
with some extra energy.
A protein test on your
hay will tell you whether
you need a protein supple-
ment for the class of cattle
you are feeding.
According to Dr. Jack
Price, Extension Agricul-
tural Chemist, the Environ-
mental Protection Agency
has authorized a one year
experimental test of a new
pesticide to control
imported fire ants on
110,000 acres in nine
southern states, Texas
being one of these.
Currently the insecticide
has no name, being design-
ated by number only.
E.P.A. Deputy Adminis-
trator, Barbara Blum
states, "Itfe noteworthy
that some livestock grazing
land will be treated during
this Program." Also, "A
number of pesticides have
replaced the banned fire-
ant insecticide Mirex for
use around homes or farm
buildings. These include
diazinon, propohur, and
chlorphrifos. But none of
them is practical for use on
large cropland areas." She
says that if the new product
proves to be. environmen-
tally safe, it "may fill the
gap.'
According to Dr. Price,
whether E.P.A. will even-
tually approve this exper-
imental insecticide for
routine use, depends on
both the results of field
trials and laboratory
studies being done on the
products long-term human
health effects.

"pans out." I continually
receive request for some-
thing to control fire ants on
pasture and cropland as
well as around the home.
The Agricultural Econ-
omists tell us that Texas
farmers and ranchers face
prospects cf lower net
incomes in 1980. This
doesn't necessarily mean
their gross sales or prices
received will be down.
Rather, it likely means that
costs for production items
will rise more than the
price they receive for their
product. So, it looks like the
farmer will continue to
carry the "short end of the
stick" as far as the parity
price ratio is concerned,
but it may not be as'
"short" as in some years.
The New Year, 1980,
begins a new Decade.
When all the coming
problems and opportunities
are averaged out, I hope
you have a happy and
prosperous New Year and
a happy and properous
Decade as well.
