Interested visitors to the West Texas Chamber of Commerce
Resource and Museum Institute in Abilene recently was the
nation’s first lady, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Making a
thorough inspection, Mrs. Roosevelt thought the exhibits were
“wonderful" and was much impressed with West Texas’ resources,
both developed and undeveloped. “We should get the East’s un-
employed men and women and West Texas’ unemployed resources
together," she told WTCC Manager D. A. Bandeen, seen talking
with her in the top photo as they inspected the Wool & Mohair
Booth. In the lower photo, Mrs. Roosevelt is seen at the Cattle
Booth. Before her visit to the WTCC exhibit hall, Mrs. Roose-
velt spoke at Hardin-Simmons University, later granted a press
conference to West Texas newspaper men and women in the
WTCC directors’ conference room.

“Livestock without feed is a
| farm tragedy” says Sam A. Mc-
| Millian, who ought to know, for
| he has, like many of us, seen too
I many tragedies of “going into”
the livestock business without the
. fortification of feed supplies to
avoid having to “go out” under
pressure.
We Americans are constitution-
ally inclined to “bore with a big
auger," to think a business be-
neath consideration if it isn’t a
big business. It is mighty easy to
over-estimate the carrying ca-
' nacity of a pasture, to “guess” we
'have feed enough for twenty cows
or a hundred hens and find out,
too late, that we have feed enough
for only half as many. It is not
only a matter of safety, but a
matter of profits, to have more
than enough rather than less.
Livestock and poultry are not
like annual crone—they grow and
require feed 365 days in the year.
The very fact that they go on
producing when crops are not
growing is what makes them val-
uable in the farm set-up. But a
few well-fed every day are better
from every standpoint than many
half-fed, or well-fed for a few
months and half-starved the rest
of the year.
There is just now a sort of
“boom psychology” in certain
