SPECIFIC FACTORS
DETERMINE RESULTS
OF CREEP FEEDING
18 NOT TO BE RECOMMENDED
FOR SPRING CALVES ON
FULL GRAIN DIET
65-YEAR-OLD BUTLER GIVES
$1,000 TO HELP BRITAIN
A 65-YEAR-OLD British-born butler for a prominent New York
XX family dug deep into his life savings to help his native land in
its fight against Hitler.
STILLWATER. Okla. — Creep-
feeding Is not to be recommended
for spring calves that are to be full
fed on grain for five months or
more after weaning, results from a
four-year experiment carried on by
the Oklahoma Agricultural Experi-
ment station show.
These experiments indicate that
the extra finish acquired by creep-
feeding will result In calves making
slower and more expensive gains
during the finishing period if the
calves are to be kept as long as five
months after weaning.
The results, however, do show that
creep-feeding of well-bred spring
calves will produce heavier and fat-
ter calves that can be sold for a
higher price at weaning time than
similar calves not crecp-fed. A
weight gain of from five to 10
pounds may be expected from each
bvshel of corn fed to creep-fed
calves.
The results of the 1937-38 experi-
ment show that during the 111-day
tests, heifer calves creep-fed while
running with their dams on pasture
were 43 pounds heavier, and enough
fatter at weaning time to be valued
$1.50 per hundredweight above simi-
lar calves not creep-fed. The creep-
fed calves consumed an average of
0.97 pound of grain per head daily.
The total value of the feed con-
sumed was $1.71 per calf.
The 43 pounds advantage in
weight and the $1.50 per hundred-
weight advantage In appraisal value
would have more than paid the cost
of the grain consumed by the creep-
fed calves. If sold at weaning time,
at the appraised value, the crecp-fed
heifers would have shown a net re
turn of $8.19 per head more than
the non creep-fed steers.
The experiment also showed that
creep-fed heifer calves required 50
days less time, five bushels less com,
4.76 bushels less oats and 50 pounds
less cottonseed meal per head to
produce choice carcasses than sim-
ilar steer calves not creep-fed.
The creep-fed heifer calves gained
an average of 2.16 pounds through-
out an 133-day feeding period,
whereas the non creep-fed steer
calves gained 2.37 pounds for an 183-
day period. At the end of the first
60 days the heifer calves averaged
0.23 pounds more gain per head per
day than the steer calves and re-
quired but little more feed per unit
of gain. The advantage was lost by
the eighty-eighth day. These data
indicate that a finishing period of
60 days or less is the most profitable
for the creep-fed calf.
Conditions Must Be Present
The experiments show that the
essential points in successful creep-
feeding are: (1) Calves must have
quality and early maturity. (2)
Calves should be early. November,
December, January and February
calves prove best on farms in this
area. (3) Calves should be taught
to eat grain before they go to grass.
(4) The creep should be located at
the right place in a suitable pas-
ture; the most suitable pasture be-
ing one in which the cows have
some common loafing place where
the creep may be placed. (5) Close
attention to details Is necessary and
high quality feed must be available
in the feeder. Feed spoiled by wea-
ther must be promptly replaced.
Shelled com is the most satisfac-
tory grain for creep feeding. It feeds
down well in the feeder, keeps well
and is highly palatable. When the
grass begins to dry up and the cows
fall off in milk flow, ope pqjt of
protein supplement such as cotton-
seed meal should be added to each
eight to 10 parts of corn.
Among the advantages of creep
feeding are larger gains and more
finish at smaller net cost, less
shrinkage at weaning, calves reach
market early and at a more favor-
able time.
Wounded in action in the first
World War but too old to fight in
this one, William P. Halkett sent
a check for $1,000 to National
Headquarters of Bundles tor
Britain, Inc., 745 Fifth Avenue.
"Please accept enclosed check
for one thousand dollars for what-
ever you may need for Britain,"
Halkett wrote. “I was three and
a half years in the British army tn
the last war but am a little too
old for service now. 1 am a butler
by trade but I feel 1 should give
all I can at this critical time and
that's what I am doing. May this
war soon end."
Halkett’s letter said nothing of
the quiet heroism that prompted
him to leave the security of a job
In America and return to England
to enlist in the British army 25
years ago at the age of 40.
Enlisting in 1915, he went to
Belgium as a corporal in 1917 and
served at the front for five months
until he was wounded In the
mouth and throat and invalided
home to England, where he served
for the remainder of the war after
recovering from his wounds.
Halkett, employed by Mr. and
Mrs. Valentine E. Macy, Jr., re-
turned to America in 1919 and
soon afterwards went back to work
for the Macy family. He first
came to America in 1898 and en-
tered the service of the Macy
family in 1908.
OVERSHOES NEEDED
BY BRITISH TOTS
An appeal for rubber over-
shoes for use by British chil-
dren during the winter’s rain
was made today by Mrs.
Wales Latham, national pres-
ident of Bundles for Britain,
Inc.
“It would be an inestim-
able boon if you would send
children’s rubber overshoes,
as they are almost unprocur-
able In this country,” Lieut.
Colonel V. Vivian, deputy
acting chairman of the Brit-
ish Soldiers', Sailors’ and
Airmen's Families Associa-
tion, wrote Mrs. Latham.
“They are really essential
during the months of wet
weather which we usually
experience from November
till the end of March," he
added.
Stressing the importance
of making donations of shoes
or money to buy them now
bo they can be distributed
before the rainy season be-
gins, Mrs. Latham said over-
shoes were needed for chil-
dren from three to ten years
of age.

DALLAS (UP) — Slight improve-
ment in grade has been shown in
Texas cotton ginned recently, but
the staple still is of lower grade
than that ginned during the same
period last season, according to the
Agricultural Marketing Service at
Dallas.
At the same time, activity in Tex-
as markets declined slightly but
prices advanced. Growers are not
offering cotton very freely it was
pointed out, and consumption by
Texas mills is at a higher rate this
season.
The marketing service recently
has opened a new cotton classing of-
fice, the Board of Cotton Examin-
ers at 1104 S. Ervay, which is main-
tained only for loan purposes, for J
cotton from warehouses in the Dal- ;
las territory.
Other similar offices are main-
tained at Austin, Houston, Shreve-
port, Texarkana, Abilene, Lubbock,
El Paso, Oklahoma City and Altus,
Okla.
For cotton quality and for im-
provement groups, the marketing
service maintains its cotton classing
room on the fifth floor of the fed-
eral building.
The organization makes an effort
to give one-day service on cotton
classing of all types, according to
J. R. Kennedy, head of the market-
ing service.
As a whole, cotton was longer in

“One of the first considerations
on a water system should be a sup-
ply of pure water,” said Miss Lucile
Chance, county home demonstra-
tion agens, in a talk on Piping Wa-
ter In the Home at a meeting of
the Three Leaf Home Demonstra-
tion club last Friday in the T. D.
Bland home.
Miss Chance also pointed out that
as a general rule the water from
wells 75 feet or more in depth is
safe unless contaminated by water.
She gave a second demonstration
on wiring, pointing out that since
the kitchen is the work shop of the
homemaker, the wiring should be
planned carefully In order that her
present needs be met adequately.
At the business meeting, plans
were made for the club fair which
will be held this month.

“There are numerous ways of
getting water from the well or cis-
tern Into the house other than by
carrying it In a bucket,” stated Miss
Lucile Chance, county home demon-
stration agent, to members of the
China Flat Home Demonstration
club which met in the home of Mrs,
T. H. Morgan Wednesday in an all-
day meeting.
Since the expense of a water sys-
tem is an important item in many
cases, some of the inexpensive
methods were discussed along with
the more expensive. The kitchen
sink may be home-made if desired
or one can be bought for a few dol-
lars, A big saving in labor is ef-
fected by putting water faucets over
a sink in the kitchen. Piping water
into the house is not a luxury but a
labor saver, Miss Chance pointed
out.
Miss Chance gave two demonstra-
tions, the other being on wiring.
Major electrical appliances all re-
quire a special wiring, even If these
appliances are not to be used im-
mediately provisions should be made
for the ones which will be added
later.

City Judge Has

On Suggestion
DALLAS (UP)—Citv Judge Joe
Hill had to explain that he was
merely joking when he suggested
that carhops in shorts be employed
to receive fines. The explanation
came after several telephone calls
were made to his office by girls re-
questing jobs at a proposed drive-
in bureau for paying traffic fines.
“I jokingly said that I would be
willing to try car hops in shorts or
asything else If it would cut down
the number of persons failing to
appear in court,” the judge ex-
plained. “Of course tile city would
not consider such a proposal.”
Judge Hill was still in sympathy
with the drive-ln plan. The plan at
present is to move the fine bureau

The product or service which you find advertised so
appealingly in your newspaper must, like Caesar’s wife,
be above suspicion.
For the shortcomings of unworthy merchandise,
which silence might have safely concealed, are always
rapidly revealed by the spotlight of publicity. And it is
by this token that advertising proves so great a public
boon. It is, indeed, the true searchlight of selection.
Read, then, the varied advertisements in this paper
with confidence and assurance. For, if an insurance com-

survive the test fo consistent advertising, it merits your
support and patronage.
