selecting a bale of their best
hay to save for the Cherokee
County Hay Show to be held
later this fall.
later this fall. All produc-
ers In the County will be
eligible to enter. A protein
analysis will be needed for
each entry. Further Informa-
tion will be forthcoming soon
concerning the show.
Several clovers with names
new to the area are being
sold this year. Some of these
may be good, well adapted
clovers, while others may
not be of any rea' value.Gen-
erally it's a pretty good pol-
icy to investigate these new
varieties thoroughly and then
plant a «-mall acreage until
you find out how they will
perform for you under your
conditions. 1 will be glad to
furnish any information I have
available. If I don't have the
needed Information, 1 will se-
cure it for you.
The Cherokee County Live-
stockmen's Association and
Jacksonville Livestock Com-
mission are making progress
in plans for the Special
Stocker - Feeder Calf Sale
to be held September 16. Pos-
ter and hand bill information
were prepared last week and
should be out sometime this
week. The Association i<-
mailing letters to beef pro-
ducers within Cherokee Coun-
ty with return cards enclos-
ed requesting information on
the possible number of cal-
ves that may be brought to
the sale. According to mem-
bers of the Association that
have beendlscussingcalfcon-
signments, 1,000 or more
head may be offered. A. N.
Walley, President of the As-
sociation, says calves of all
breeds and crosses will be
welcome from either Inside or
outside. Special efforts are
being made to have a good
number of buyers present.
Real good information was
parsed out at the Beef Cat-
tle Shortcourse down at Tex-
as A&M Monday and Tuesday
of last week. Here are a few
of the thoughts that sort of
stuck with me.
Raising beef cattle is de-
finitely a business and needs
to be treated as one. With
return on investment running
from .7 percent to 3 1/2 per-
cent, records, records an-
alysis, and other sound busi-
ness practices will be the
coming thing. Our friend
Charlie Scruggs, Editor ,of
Progressive Farmer, came
up with a new answer for the
beef producer when someone
asks him what he does for a
living, Charlie says, "In-
stead of telling him you pro-
duce forage and beef cattle
tell him you produce cellu-
lose and food protein". This
should keep them thinking for
a while. Use of popped sor-
ghum grain for fattening cat-
tle still needs additional re-
search. They especially have
some problems in popping
losing some of what they
started with.
Agricultural gypsum may
have some place in self-limit-
ing supplemental feeds used
similarly to salt.
Thus far research hasn't
definitely decided w!iich iv
most economical for produc-
ing beef - big cows, little
cows or medium sized cows.
Work Is continuing on this
and some answers may be
forthcoming <oon.
Buyer resistance, as re-
flected by lower prices for
slaughter crossbred cattle,
is non - existent in some
cases, and seem to be de-
creasing generally.
Well planned criss-cross,
breeding, reciprocal criss-
crossing breeding, and rota-
tional crossing involving
more than 2 breeds may be
a big factor in profitable
commercial production in the
future.
Planning calving programs
and grazing programs to pre-
vent the yearly excessive
weight loss in mother cows
may be a factor In the pro-

a member of the ship' «how-
band, the "Ocetnalres".
The band recently staged a
■erles of musical and varie-
ty «hows In the Republic oí
the Philippines and Japan dur-
ing the Intrepld'a vljit to
those countries.
While In the Philippine ,
they performed before four
audiences, totaling more than
6,000 listeners.
During the ship's ln-port
period at Yokosuka, Japan,
the band entertained Navy and
Air Force audiences at Yo-
