Dell Valley's weather has
been on the cloudy, cool
and damp side most of last
week. However, Tuesday
was clear and sunny, with
some cotton harvest underway.
Tuesday morning's low was
in the mid 30's, with high
expected to be near 70.
Sunny days are needed to ma-
ture the late maturing cotton.
Dear Mary:
Even though it may seem a
bit early to mention the
Christmas Holiday Season
before Thanksgiving, it
really is necessary to do so to
benefit those who are mailing
overseas, either to our Armed
Forces or to those who have
friends and relatives in
foreign countries
We will not begin our
Domestic "Mail Early" cam-
paign until after Thanksgiving,
but because of the often com-
plex transportation situation
outside the continental
United States, we need your
help in making the public-----
aware of our suggested mailing
dates—dates that begin as
early as October 28, 1978 for
someoverseas destinations.
Please call me at 964-2626
if I can do anything to clarify
or help in specifically tailoring
the information to your needs.
Sincerely,
R.C. Rasco
Postmaster

BITTERNESS COMES EASY, unless we equip ourselves by
thoroughly conditioning our minds for the specefic purpose
of preventing it There are many sources’of this self-defeating
and happiness-destroying feeling, and all of us probably know
the feeling, some degree of it
IF THE FEELING STARTS, we must go to work getting rid
of it; because we cannot afford to let it fester and enlarge,
We must purge the mind just as quickly as possible.
MANY HAPPENINGS CAN BE distasteful or distressing to our
mind, and it is quite possible that we will be inclined to be
"harshly reproachful". We can easily justify our "sharp and
resentful" reactions, and there are occurrences which may
cause our reactions to be marked by a "sneezing disbelief in
sincerity or nobility". We may even become rancorous. These
are the emotions and attitudes of "bitterness" which can make
our lives completely miserable and ineffective.
"I AM REAL BITTER about it" is a much too common
expression. This feeling may come from the disappointment >
we feel because someone, in whom we had placed confidence,
betrays us. When this happens, it hurts us; but we must not be
bitter, We should have known that betrayal was possible, and
conditioned our mind to soften the blow; just in case it did
occur.
ANOTHER CAUSE OF BITTERNESS is found in our feeling of
not being appreciated. We work diligently, perhaps beyond'
what is expected of us; but no one seems to notice. There
are no expressions of appreciation, and those who should be
appreciative seem to forget what we have done. We can
defend ourselves against "bitterness" by doing what we do
because it needs to be done, and not expect others to express
appreciation. Whatever expression of appreciation we do will
be a bonus.
OUR FAILURE CAN CAUSE BITTERNESS , but we just com-
pound our problem if we let this happen. Some people may
succeed in everything they try to do, but most of us fail some-
times. We know that failure is possible, and we have no sound
basis for expecting success all of the time. Therefore, there
should be no "bitterness" when we do faiL
IF OUR GENERAL EXPECTATIONS are out of touch with
realities, we will develop some degree of "bitterness" which
will discolor all other attitudes and feelings. If we are not
reasonable, we may expect some things that can never be.
We must learn how to hold to our ideals, and, at the same
time; see, accept and adjust to the realities which cannot be
changed. This can be done without compromise and with-
out* bitterness.
WETLAVE THE POWER to prevent "bitterness" from con-
trolling our rnind, and hence our lives. If it does begin, we
can deliberately stop it. We can, by choice, cultivate and
display the feelings and attitudes which will counteract this
"bitterness".
LET THERE BE "NO BITTERNESS" is a guideling which is
necessary to the best of living.

HUDSPETH COUNTY HERALD OFFICE
Paul Harvey
Have you stopped to think that, ominous as some of the head-
lines are, we Americans may have less to worry about than at
any time in our nation's two centuries?
What's been dominating Page One in recent days? Peace talks.
What's preoccupied our voters in recent elections? Tax cuts.
The only truly worrisome factor in our nation's prospects is
the shrinking dollar—yet even that problem eased with the
most recent cost-of-living report.
Characteristically, and perhaps necessarily, we continue to
sell newspapers with noise--conflicts, plane crashes and rain-
storms--however isolated and comparatively inconsequential.
But from the historian's point of view, if you could choose--
in all history--a time and a place to be alive, this would have
to be the time and place.
Lately, I have been traveling--and I've found that Americans
are mostly happy.
It's not a "whistling in the cemetery" pretense. It is a genuine
psychological calm.
The questions and answers I hear tend to support the political
polls: the present Washington Administration is less than popular.
But it is less than inflammatory, also.
There is less social confrontation, less disease and more take-
home prosperity than at any time in our nation's history.
Even the crime fever has subsided by two percentage points
this year.
Divorce statistics are stabilizing.
With the approach of Thanksgiving I've always sought—during
at least one visit—to audit our blessings. I've never found it
so easy as this year.
Statistically, uppers and downers are a fading iaa.
Music is almost singable again.
And the comb--is making a comeback.
With the resumption of school, students are so orderly and
campuses so quiet that it's hard to remember when they
weren't. But they weren't. . , ,
The longtime citizen frustration with taxation has been venti-
lated first in California, next in referendums all across our
11 We've rediscovered that government "by the people" is func-
tional. ' . ,
And in courts of law- there is less tolerance for wrongdoers,
and increasing respect for the rights of their victims. That
helps make it feel good again to be an American.
If in this upcoming time of Thanksgiving my audit stands, it
the most exciting segment of the evening news continues to be
the weather--how rich we are. .
And if the oncoming generation lives up to its promises, these
next will be our greenest year.
ADMINISTER TLC TO CALVES
That's Tender Loving Care, or preconditioning. To the cow-
calf-producer, it's a dose of good management, superior nutri-
tion, and proper immunization.
A study conducted by Washington State University revealed
that preconditioning of calves increased profits by $10. 56 per
head on steers and $7. 67 on heifers, after deducting all precon-
ditioning costs. This explains why some feedlot operators are
willing to pay $1.00 to $2.00 per cwt more for preconditioned
calves, and why others are lowering the price if it is not done.
The term "preconditioning" is new, but the concept has long
been recommended. Stated simply, preconditioning is the sche-
dule of practices used in preparing feeder calves to withstand
the stress of leaving their mothers, shipping, and adapting to
feedlot conditions. It consists of administering generous amounts
of TLC—-tender loving care—-along with immunological prac-
tices and treatment for parasites.
Changed environment; excitement of sorting, loading, and
shipping; long periods without feed and/or water; movement
through one or more assembly points; change of feed; and ex-
posure. to disease—-all add up to fatigue, stress, shrink, and
lowered disease resistance.
Preconditioning is the answer. The steps used in precondit-
ioning may, and should, vary somewhat from area to area and
between farms and ranches. The important thing is that the pro-
gram be written down, adhered to rigidly, then certified to by
both the owner and the veterinarian. The producer should take
the lead in developing such a program, but he should seek the
counsel of his veterinarian and potential buyers.
Preconditioning is often confused with handling newly arrived
feedlot cattle, and backgrounding. This is understandable be-
cause all three of them are important phases between weaning
and finishing. Yet, each of them is a distinct and separate
phase.
Where does stress take place? ---Stress takes place when
a calf is weaned, at which time the social structure is disrupted.
Also, there is stress when an animal is placed in a differenct
environment, whether it be in a pen on the home ranch or
on a loaded truck on the way to market. If stress is to be lessen-
ed, therefore, it is obvious that measures must be taken before
any of these steps happen.
Losses attributed to prefeedlotstress---It is estimated that
nearly 1. 5 million head of cattle die in feedlots each year,
making for an estimated annual loss of more than 500 million
dollars. Losses from sickness are even greater—they run L to
5 times as great as the actual death loss. Sickiess losses accrue
from the expense and treatment plus the resulting inefficiency.
Thus the combined losses—death losses, and losses due to
sickness—add $20 to $25 per head onto the cost of every
feedlot-finished animal. ,
What are preconditioned cattle ?— -Opinions differ rather wide-
ly~as to what constitutes properly preconditioned cattle. How-
ever, the following preconditioning program is presented with
the hope that the beef producer will use it (1) as a yardstick
with which to compare his existing program, or (2) as a
guide post so that he and his local veterinarian, and other ad-
visers, may develop a similar and specific program for his
own enterprise:

a minimum of excitement. To be cont|nue(j next weeh..„.
