Blue Ribbon Winners
Increase This Year
Determined to make Texas a national bulwark
against invasion of the foot and mouth disease from
across the Rio Grande, Gov. Beauford Jester'B first
days in office saw him call for, and receive, emer-
gency action by the state legislature.
When Gov. Joater signed an emergency appropria-
tion bill he set in motion a program engaging full
resources of all available state agencies, and sup-
ported by all allied interests.
Realisit g that such a program required full sup-
port from the national government, Gov. Jester im-
mediately laid the problem before authorities in
Washington, including President Truman, with an
argent request for quick action intended to forestall
an epidemic which would result in "an economic loss
of millions of dolían if this disease gains a foothold
in Texas."
Without waiting for assistance from Washington,
all Texas agencies have been thrown into the critical
fight against the threat of disaster to the nation's
lncstock industry.
Pictured above with Gov. Jester (seated) when he
signed the bill are, left to right: Rep. O. E. Cannon,
Corpus Christi; Rep. S. J. Isaacks, El PaBo; Sen.
James E. Taylor, Kerens; Sen. Jimmy Phillips,
Angleton; Rep. Tom Martin, Fredericksburg; and
Roy Ixjventhal, chairman, State Livestock Sanitary
Commission.

COLLEGE STATION — Thirty
percent of the dairy cattle ex-
hibited at "dairy days" in Texas
this spring were classified as blu<
ribbon animals, an increase of
seven percent over blue ribbon
awards last year.
The increase, say Extension
dairymen at Texas A. and M. Col-
lege. indicates that Texas dairy
farmers are recognizing good dairy
typo. Ther- was also a marked
uterease in the number of cattle
receiving white and yellow ribbons.
At the H'l educational "dairy
'ays" held in the state this year,
2 166 head of dairy cattle were
•Iwssified. Filial tabulation by the
Extensión dairymen, who helped
judge many of the shows, reveals
hat 18,720 people took part in
the "dairy days".
A breakdown of the classifica-
tion shows 2.1 percent of the cattle
classified purple ribbon; 30 per-
cent, blue ribbon; 42.8 percent, r d
ribbon; 21.1 percent, white; and 4
percent, yellow.
Six different breeds of dairy
cows were entered in the 38 shows
