How many industries could survive were they regularly to fill
half their orders 45 days late? Yet that's what's happening in the
U.S. beef cattle industry. Like a thief in the niglt, and year after
year, late breeders are stealing away millions of dollars from the
cattlemen of America.
Dr. J.N. Wilbank, highly respected Colorado State University
scientist, estimates that late breeding heifers (those dropping their
first calf the last third of the calving season-wean off 250 pounds
less total calf weight over their first three calving seasons than
early breeding heifers (those dropping their first calf during the
20 days preceding the regular calving season). Remember that
this is for three seasons only. Remember, too, that the average
cow is kept in the herd until 9 years of age. Hence, I estimate
that late calvers turn in a 6-year reproduction l ifetime perfor-
mance of 350 pounds less total calf weight than early calvers. At
38 cents per pound, that's a lifetime penalty of $133 for a late
calving cow, or $22 each year.

heifers. By 70 days after calving, 90% of the old cows had shown
heat, in comparison with 65% of the first calf heifers. It was 100
days after calving before 90% of the young cows had shown heat.
Clearly, this proves that it takes time for first calf heifers to re
.turn to heat after calving.
HOW TO GET COWS TO CALVE EARLY Unfortunately, you
can do very little about the cow that's already calving late. B
But you can do a great deal about the heifers that are being ad
added to the herd. Here's how: 1. Feed heifers liberally for ear-
ly sexual maturity—Research at several agricultural experiment
stations has shown that well-fed replacement heifers develop
faster sexually than those raised on a lower plane of nutrition.
In support of this statement, let met cite a dairy experiment,
the results of which are applicable to beef breeds, also: In a

RABBLE-ROUSING IS BIG BUSINESS
-Paul Harvey
Black Panther leader Huey Newton lives in a plush penthouse
apartment in Oakland, Calif. Tire IRS says Stoke ly Carmichael
owes $48, 000 in back income taxes. Rabble-rousing is big busi-
ness.
Tire Black Panthers are telling contributors they are hurting for
money.
Subscribers to the Panther
publication were advised
that circulation is down from
150, 000 to 100, 000.
Panther speechmakers who
did command as much as
$3, 500 per speech now are
asking $1, 500 and settling
for anything they can get.
Yet with the organization
pleading for more contribu-
tions from rich whites and
poor blacks, Panther leaders
live in luxury and travel in
style.
Newton, on trial for alleg-
edly killing a policeman,
lives meanwhile in a 29th
floor penthouse overlooking
Lake Merritt. Rent—$700 a
month.
The Black Panthers are des-
cribed by the FBI as "the
most dangerous and violence-prone of all extremist groups" yet
they receive financial support from the likes of Jane Fonda,
Otto Preminger, Mrs. Harry Belafonte and Mrs. Leonard Bern-
stein.
Those can afford it. But tire soiled 2 bucks in an envelope
mailed from a Harlem walk-up is not likely meant to pay rent
on anybody's penthouse.
It's not just the Panthers. William Epton, who told a New York
street-corner audience 'We're going to have to kill a lot of
cops and judges, " admitted to a congressional committee that
his "organization" collects some $2, 000 a day in "voluntary
contributions. "
If he admitted that sum, with the IRS tuned in, you can bet
his unaudited take is substantially more than that.
Responsible, honorable blacks, seeking to elevate their race
by seeking political office for themselves, are embarrassed by
the some-blacks-in-some-cities who threaten to run for politi-
cal office purely for personal mercenary motives.
First, the black candidate collects considerable campaign
contributions. He may know he cannot win, but he also knows
lie can split away enough voters to be a threat to a major-
part) candidates.
It's standard operating procedure for machine politicians to
buy off such candidates within weeks of the election. The can-
didate pockets cash and drops out of the race.
One name you'd recognize reportedly collected $25, 000
step aside from a major-city race for mayor.
C. F. Kettering, grandson of the General Motors Kettering,
lives in Colorado but has subsidized Chicago street gangs with
Kettering Foundation money.
The Chicago street-gang conglomerate (the B-Stone Nation)
got $60,000 from millionaire Charles Merrill, Jr., son of the
founder of our nation's largest stockbrokerage firm, but gets
dimes and dollars from thousands who can afford it less.
Temperate, moderate black Chicago TV deejay, Daddy-O
Daylie says "Not everything black is beautiful. " Fie says the
gangs claim their money goes to benefit needy, but "they're
not Robin Hoods; they're just a bunch of hoods robbin'. "
