Brides to Burn,” Junior Class Play,

Be Good..
Will Be Given at High School April IS
Walter Gene Shepard, the 14-
year-old Young County 4-H Club
boy who is Texas’ ranking young-
ster in the annual National Duroc
Ton Litter Contest, will be the
competition again this year.
Assistant County Agent Warren
Liner reported this week that
Walter Gene, who lives on Route
A, Graham, has entered a litter
of hogs in the 1947 contest.
He entered a litter in the na-
tional contest in 1945 and in 1946,
placing first in the state of Texas
both years and fourth in the na-
tional contest both years. Now
Walter Gene is out to beat his
previous records. His litter of 14
pigs in 1945 weighed 3,517 pounds
at six months of age. His litter of
13 in 1946 weighed 3,334 pounds
at six months. Walter Gene has
14 pigs in his litter this year,
from the same sow and the same
boar as the litters in 1945 and
1946.
Pork Production Test
The object of the Ton Litter
Contest, sponsored by the Nation-
al Duroc Record Association, is to
see who can produce the most
pounds of pork from a litter of
pigs in six months time. Competi-
tion is very strong, and a boy has
to really work hard to get among
the top honors of the contest.
The Shepards are well-known
all over the state for their won-
derful work with hogs. They have
some of the finest Durocs in this
part of the country and have al-
ways done well with their hogs.
Their success with hogs may be
counted for because they start
with good hogs and practice a very
rigid sanitary program, Liner com-
mented. The hogs are also put on
a self-feeder of mixed grain and'
a protein supplement. Mineral is i
self-fed to the hogs, also.
Bobby Joe Shepard, brother of
Walter Gene, placed fifth in the
National Duroc Ton Litter Con-
test in 1944 and had the Texas
champion litter that same year.
He Is Showman
The Shepards have done well
with hogs that they have entered
in various shows throughout the
state. Bobby Joe Shepard placed
second in a litter contest at the
Fort Worth Fat Stock Show this
Save your laughs and your mon-
ey for the night of Friday, April
18—the Junior Class at Olney High
school promises you’ll need both.
That’s the evening the class will
present its Annual play, this year

The three-act comedy is directed
by Mrs. Pete Huey and Miss
Phyllis Gray, and rehearsals are
under way.
The performance is slated for 3
o’clock that evening, and there
will be three types of tickets: re-
served seats, general adults and
students. The reserved seat tickets

Leath.
ards have a way all their 'own
of handling and showing hogs.
After Bobby Joe showed his hogs
at the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show
this year, many breeders front all
parts of the nation came to him
and asked if he would help them
show some of their hogs that were
entered in different classes from
the ones that Bobby Joe had.
There is an art in showing and
handling hogs and the Shepards
really have it, said Liner.
Walter Gene and Bobby Joe have
done outstanding work in the 4-H
Club since they have been old
enough to belong to the club.
Walter Gene was selected as
Young County Gold Star 4-H Club
Boy for 1946. He is now president
of Graham 4-H Club and is re-
porter for the Young County 4-H
Club Council. Bobby Joe and Wal-
ter Gene are the sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Shepard of Route A^
Graham.

wear.
And the job must be good if you
bring them here to be fixed. We
depend on good work to tell you
this is the place to bring your shoes
for repair work — where top work-
manship, quality materials, insure
that the job is good.
