most outstanding men of the
beet industry in America and
probably in the world Of
course this meeting is history
now. but some of the things
said at the meeting by these
leaders of the industry should
be a continuing part of the beef
business
For instance, Glenn Butts,
Production Registry Inter
national Executive Secretary,
hit the nail on the head for the
beef business or any other
business when he said "The
most powerful thing in the
world is information when it is
harnessed to your advantage "
He pointed out that the purpose
of PRI is to let the best cattle
emerge and be recognized He
said that identification of cattle
is the key to PRI and is one of
the major costs involved
Carlton Corbin Jr., Angus
Breeder and PRI President
from Kureka Kansa, said that
those people who are aganist
performance testing are those
who have cattle that won't
perform He said PRI will give
you a "road map" to good
cattle
Tom Burch, PRI past
president and Angus Breeder
Irom Mill Creek, Oklahoma,
said that the only boundry to
beef performance is the
breedér himself. All the
breeder needs is a vision of
what lie wants to do, a
willingnes to profit by mis-
takes. a set of scales, good
records and the ability to use
these tools
John Paschali, PRI member
and commercial producer
from Shreveport Louisiana,
said that records are the only
way to know what you're
doing He emphasized that
performance testing is not just
for the registered producer and
cited progress he had made
His calf crop averaged 395
pounds the year he started.
Three years later calves
averaged -4-1(1 pounds Manage-
ment and uniformity and
qualify of calves also im-
proved
Some asked the question,
what can the commercial man
pay for a good bull'' Calvin
Corbin. I'RI past president and
Angus breeder from Fittstown.
Oklahoma said a general
"Thumb rule" is that you can
afford to pay about four times
the value of a good cow. He
also slated that a good bull
should bring $1 per pound at
one year of age

The screwworm situation in
Texas is much better than it
was last year at this time, but
it's also the time of the year
that we really need to be on the
alert tor cases in this area.
According to the last report I
received. Texas had 47 out-
breaks the last week in June.
This compares with 4,901 cases
for the same week last year
Screwworm officials are en-
couraged. but they point out
that continued rainy weather
could cause trouble
Thus far Cherokee County
has not had a case of
screwworms this year Hope-
lulls sse won't, but cattle
should be checked often the
remainder of the year to make
certain that sve don't have a
case that goes undetected
If you suspect a case of
scresvsvorm. don't just report
it Take a sample of H or 10
worms from deep in the svound.
put them in alcohol or water
and send to the laboratory at
Mission for positive identifica-
tion I have mailing vials

according to quality (grade)
even if the grade isn't shown.

uniform in appearance as
