The 4-H Club boys and girls
feeding milk fed beef calves are
looking forward to the tour next
Tuesday, November 1. This is an
.annual event sponsored by the
Agricultural and Livestock Com-
mittee of the Seymour Chamber
of Commerce, to help encourage
the boys and girls to do a better
job with their calves.
The group will meet on the west
side of the Courthouse square and
will start promptly at 9:00 a.m.
We will visit as many as possible
that morning and come back Into
Seymour for lunch at the City
Park. The steak and potatoes will
be furnished by the Chamber of
Commerce and prepared by Bob
Farr, Lowell Cure and their crew.
These boys are always ready to
help out for any event involving
club boys and girls, and really
serve food that is really delicious
The other food will be furnished
by various individuals. Ed Mur-
phy will furnish the beans, Charles
Barron, pickles, James Smathers,
onions, Moody Johnson, bread, Burl
Lee. Jr., coffee and tea, and I will
furnish the fruit.
Mothers of the boys and girls
will bring the salads and desserts.
We hope a lot of business men can
make the tour with us, but if you
cannot make it be sure and join us
at the park at noon for the feed.
This tour helps to stimulate inter-
est among the feeders and helps
them to do better job with their
calves getting them finished and
ready for the show.
The boys and girls feeding and
will be visited are: James, George
and John Connor, David. Margaret
and Donnie Knezek, Mike Morris,
Vicki Morris, Steve and John Mar-
tin. Lynda Boyd and Jerry Butler.
Livestock growers are reminded
to be cautious about grazing sor-
ghums, and Johnny grass after
frost. Certain changes occur in
frost-wilted plants that produces
prussic acid. The poison acts very
quickly and whether you save the
animal depends on how quick you
can get a veterinarian.
Young plants, or growth from
stubble of less than 18 inches high
are usually more dangerous than
older, larger plants but they are
all dangerous.
In grazing sorghums or Johnson
grass after frost be sure that the
plants are thoroughly dry before
grazing. One method of testing
it is to turn in one animal and
graze it for about 2 hours, then if
it is ok, turn the rest of them in.
The poison works very fast if it is
present. Just be sure they are
completely dry before grazing.

Hon tons more fruit and vegeta-
bles, 20 billion more eggs. These
increases will be necessary if we
continue Improving our diets at
the same rate as In recent years.
To produce this needed addi-
tional quantities of these other
foods, another 200 million acres of
cropland would be required, if
yields in 1979 were the same as
1956.
But we won’t have 200 million
more acres of cropland—and won’t
need them.
Raising productivity and effici-
ency on farms and ranches will
make it possible to feed 230 mil-
lion people in 1975 from about the
same tot»l acreage presently used.
Improved techniques, Improved
seeds, fertilizers, Insect control
better cultural practices and con-
servation of soil and water will
continue to increase production to
supply all the food and fiber need-
ed in 1975—and far beyond that
date. Yes, it’s a real privilege to
live in a country that has an abun-
dance of food—and also be a part
of a team helping to produce those
foods.
Mrs. Alma Conrad, the former
Alma Fancher, Is here for a visit
with relatives and friends back
at her home town, and will prob-
ably be here until first of the
year. She has lived for a number
of years at Long Beach. Before
our next issue a Banner represen-
tative intends to have an inter-
view with her.
It would be a big assignment If
this paper should quote everything
that has been said in connection
with partial closing of the Seymour
tSeam Laundry. But we have
quote one man who moved to Bap-
i4»ur Several months ago, and
bought a home here. He said he
would never have located hare tf
the place had not then bad • pleae
where he could get his shirts wash-
ed.

Superintendent at Funeral
Supt. T. P. Linam had to miss
an important event here Tuesday
evening in order to attend the
funeral of an uncle, Tom Phipps
of Cameron. He died Sunday
evening in the Veterans Hospital
at Temple.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at Cameron,
and with interment at that place.
Mr. Phipps had lived here for
many years, and was one of the
town’s most prominent citizens. A
great throng of friends attended
the services.
J. P. Knezek, who lives in the
northwest part of town, was speak-
ing of some Coastal Bermuda grass
which is growing on the C. N.
Mobley lots, the former Lem Bel-
lows place. J. P. says he measur-
ed one of the runners, and it was
6Vfe feet. And the grass is about
18 inches high.
