Half Of Texas’ 1945
Feed Crop Was Wasted
(By Wm. E. A. Meinscher. County Agricultural Agent)
The following sugestions are | Some Things To Check In May
1. Look for signs of stomach
worms in young cattle.
2. Bitter weeds are causing
milk to be rejected. Mow pas-
tures to keep weeds from going
to seed. Getting rid of the weeds
is the only satisfactory way to
handle them.
3. Fly control (using DDT)
i9 getting the job done this
year. Increases of a quart of
milk per cow per day have been
reported.
4. Cut hay crops for quality
feed as well as tonnage. This
means more pounds of protein
as well as more feed.
5. Dairy cows pay for good
i treatment. Handle with care.
calves and yearlings; losses
"rarely occur among older cat-
tle. Symptoms commonly pro-
duced in calves are loss of
weight, general weakness and
anemia. The skin and mucous
membrane are plae, the hair
coat rough and the animal of-
ten develops a pot belly. In the
later stages, swelling often may
appear under the jaw, the so-
called bottle jaw or poverty
jaw.
In treating for the common
stomach worm, phenothiazine
is usually the most effective.
It may be given as a drench
or ag a powder in capsule, but
the drench is recommended be-
cause of the ease of adminis-
tration. The dose is ten to 12
grams of the powder per one
hundred pounds of live weight
with not more than sixty grams
or two ounces of the powder to
any animal regardless of
weight. Weak, anemic calves
should be given half a dose re-
peated in seven to ten days.
Do not starve animals before
or after treatment.
Feeding Minerals
Dairy cattle must have the
right amount of the right min-
erals in the right proportion.
This means that the cow must
have a combination of minerals
in order to live and produce
normally. Fortunately salt along
with calcium and phosphorus
are the minerals needed in the

. Grover F. Boelsche, widely
known cotton buyer, died last
night in the La Grange hospi-
tal following a number of years
of ailing health.
Services will be held in Hous-
ton Friday afternoon at 4:00
o’clock at the Hyde Park Fun-
eral Home, after which the body
will be taken to Forest Park
Cemetery, in Houston, for en-
tombment.
Mr. Boelsche, a native of In-
dustry, wes for numerous year*
a resident of New Ulm, where
he was a cotton ouyer of wide
prominence. He was the senior
member of the cotton firm, G.
F. Boelsche and Co., who moved
their offices from New Ulm to
Houston about 16 years ago.
He was also a director of the
New Ulm State Bank, and dur-
ing hi8 residence in New Ulm
took a great interest in the ad-
vancement and welfare of <hls
home town, serving in various
capacities with local organiza-
tions.

“I Am An American Day”
The school closing program
of the New Ulm school will be
held next Wednesday night.
May 22 at 8:30 o’clock.
According to information giv-
en by principal Gilbert R. Zie-
genbein, the program will chief-
ly consist of short playlets and
songs and music by the school
bands.
Also on this night the Parent
Teachers Association will have
their final meeting of the pre-
sent school term. The meeting
will be held preceding the pre-

organization will also have elec,
tion of officers at this time.
School patrons and friends
are cordially invited to attend
the program and the P. T. A.
meeting. There will be no ad-
mission charges to the program.
Half of the feed produced in
Texas in 1945, on the basis of
total food value, was wasted.
That is the contention of G.
G. Gibson, dairy specialist of
the Texas A. and M. College
Extension Service, points out
that most sections of the state
have 90 days of plentiful pas-
ture and feed and a nine-
months’ period of getting by
the best way they can.
In his estimate of lost food
value which might be conserv-
ed for feeding, Gibson includes
such potential crops ag fence
row Johnson grass, crop resi-
due, and bundle feed which is
stacked in the open. Rat and
weevil damage to stored gram,
of course, takes a heavy toll.
“There has never been a year
when it is go important not
only to produce as much feed
as possible, but to save every
bit that is produced,” Gibson
said.
He pointed to the silo, es-
pecially the trench silo, as the
surest and least expensive met-

man should keep at the joy of
building up and maintaining a
high average production per
cow. No herd has reached the
point, yet, where there is no
room for further improvement.
Management is made up of
all those factors that go in to
“cow comfort.” It includes the
headwork as well as the hand-
work of running a dairy. This
is the ingredient that is lacking
on too many dairy farms.
Successful dairy herd opera-

Austin, Maj’ 14.—The open-
ing of the $450,000 campaign
of the Americanism Endow-
ment Fund of the American Le.
gion, which commences Mon-
day, will be prefaced by an ex-
planation of its projected edu-
cational and welfare program
in thousands of Texas pulpits
on Sunday.
Sunday is “I Am An Ameri-
can Day,” by proclamation of
President Truman, Honorary
National Chairman of the Am-
ericanism Fund, and by Gover-
nor Stevenson, the Honorary
State Chairman, and the Gov-
ernor called special attention to
both the occasion by proclama-
tion and to the campaign by a
letter addressed to 7,500 “men
of all faith,” the clergy of Tex-
as.
“We have emerged from the
most widespread and most de-
vastating war in the history of
mankind—and we have emerg-
ed as victors,” the Governor
wrote, “but our victory will
have little meaning if we do
not immediately take up the
task of preserving those things
for which Americans fought
and died upon the fields of bat.
tie in two hemispheres.
“We are in a period charac-
terized by many “isms.” 1/
there is only one of them that
can be safely counted upon to
maintain for ourselves and our I
children the fundamentals of
that type of a democracy which
has made our country great.
“That is Americanism.”
“The American Legion has
created the Americanism En-
dowment Fund to sustain a
permanent program of educa-
tion in the duties and obliga-
tions of American citizenship.
This deserves the support of
all true Americans.
“The representatives of many
denominations throughout the
State were invited to study the
purposes of this program and,
to consider its merits. It is
their feeling—as men of God—
that the principles of the Am-
ericanism Endowment Fund are
worthy; that there is a need
for such a movement; and that
the objectives of the Trustees
of the Fund are in keeping
with religious principles.
“President Truman has pro-
claimed May 19th, “I Am An
American Day.” While Texas
will celebrate this in the usual
manner, I am hopeful the
churches of the State will not
consider it inappropriate to de-
vote at least a portion of their
services to the subject of pat-
riotism, emphasizing the advan-
tages Americans enjoy under
the Constitution of the United
States of America.
“I hope that you will join in
supporting this great cause of
Americanism.”
Terry and Armstrong coun-
ties "jumped the gun” on the
campaign by sending in their
full quotas well in advance of
the opening date, and several
private contributions have al-
ready been received or pledged.
Texas’s quota of $450,000 is
the first to be sought toward
the $15,000,000 national goal.
