In 1930 1 was in Sun Fran-
cisco in a play called THE
BEST MAN. I was playing
the part of a president sui-
te ring from cancer. For
weeks a sore throat had
plagued me, I couldn't seem
to shake it.
When the show closed, my
wife, Alary, insisted that I
see a doctor. After an exam-
ination iand tests, he said I
had cancer of the larynx,
and recommended an op-
cration, to save my life.
Thirty-six hours later, the
surgeon operated on my
throat; I was speechless-lit-
erally. 1 had lost my voice.
I was discouraged and de-
pressed. How could an actor
act—without a voice? But,
through the American Can-
cer Society I learned a new
way to talk called esopha-
geal speech. It seemed a
miracle. Since then, I have
traveled over 100,000 niiles
for the Society, showing'
other voiceless victims

Early Diagnosis Saves Lives
* \i
51 >!
rtjrJ®
Early diagnosis is the key to
cancer cure.
Public education is the key to
early diagnosis.
The annual toll of human lives
taken by cancer is bad enough In
1965 about 295,000. The tragic
irony is that about 92,000 of these
persons died needlessly. They are
the ones who could have been
savd if their cancers had been
detected and treated in time.
The American Cancer Society's
public education program helps
save lives by alerting Americans
everywhere to these two vital
facts:
1. The annual heal h checkup
by a physician is the best insur-
ance against needless cancer
death.
2. Prompt action on a cancer
danger signal can often detect
cancer in time for cure.

producers are using more mach-
inery and chemicals than ever to
cut production costs and increase
yields and income.
Fred C. Elliott, Extension cot-

tained from county agen's in the
state's cotton producing counties
which show the extent machines
and chemicals were used last {
year.

5 Breed Cross
Looks Good
Augleton — Noteworthy resul s
are turning up in a unique cross-
breeding experiment at Texas A&
M University's Gulf Coast Pas-
ture-Beef Cattle Research Station
near here.
Tiie experiment includes a rota-
tional crossbreeding program with
five different breeds of cattle.
Brahman, Hereford, Angus, Santa
Gertrudis and Charolais bulls are
mated with crossbred cows in the
experiment.
J. C. Smith, superintendent of
the A&M field station, says many
cattlemen practice crossbreeding
In such an unsystematic manner
'hat tiie offspring tend to revert
to the average of the parent
breeds, thus losing most of the
advantages of hybrid vigor.
The 5-hreed rotational sys'em
being tested at the Angleton sta-
tion is designed to main'ain high
hybrid vigor in all generations of
cattle, says Smith.
So far in the test, Brahmans and
Herefords were mated to produce
first-cross females. The Brahman-
Hereford female offspring were
mated to Angus hulls. Santa Ger-
trudis bulls were then mated to
Angus-IIereford-Brahman cows. A
Charolais bull mated to Santa
Gertrudis - Angus -Hereford-Brah-
man crossbred cows is the final
step, says Smith.
Weaning weight of calves pro-
vides one important measure of
resul's. Calves from pure Here-
ford matings are the lightest, al-
most 60 pounds below the overall
average. Pure Brahman calves
are also below the average. Here-
ford cows and Brahman bulls pro-
duced calves tremendously in-
creased in weight, but still equal
only to about the overall average.
Brahman cows and Hereford bulls
raised calves 12 pounds above the
overall average, but calves out
calves out of first-cross Brah-
man-Hereford cows by Angus
bulls are by far the heaviest —
some 57 pounds above the aver-
age.
Weaning weights are not avail-
able on calves from the Santa
Gertrudis bull yet, but Smith says
he expects them to be even high-
er yet. Then ,he hopes the Charo-
lais bull and the Charolais-An-
gus-Brahman-Hereford cross cows
will push weaning weigh's even
higher.
Researchers at A&M are look-
ing into possibilities of reducing
the 5-Breed system to a simpler
3-breed rotational system. They
believe it will offer a practical,
systematic me'.hod to get the
most from hybrid vigor.
