BEREND BROS.
FORT WORTH, Oct 30.—In-
quiry for stockers and feeders with
quality continues to pace the live-
stock market, though there is
some slowness to the plainer and
medium quality types of stocker
calves.
The continued unseasonal dry-
weather cf the past week has made
range conditions more critical in
the already dry sections and the
situation in some other sections
would be helped greatly by normal
fall rainfall.
We heard a new or.e down a:
the American Legion Free Fair
late last week at Bry-an. Tex. One
stockman said, “We could use a
rain hub deep on a ferris wheel!"
Of course, such a rain would over-
do things some, he meant they
really wanted some rain.
Some of the South Texans are
already feeding cows and calves
We talked over the week-end with
the manager of a big ranch near
Corpus Christi and their cows and
calves have been on feed and bulls
are being fed. too.
Calves from nearly all sections
are shrinking badly, unless they
have been getting feed. This hurts
the grade and yield cn slaughter
calves a great deal and is one of
the big reasons for the barish
bidding packers are doing on most
fat calves, particularly the inbe-
tween grades. Dry range and the
fact that cows are now weaning
range calves results in a swift loss
of th. bloom and fat.
High grade Stockers sell readi-
ly at strong prices. Today at Fort
Worth, we saw 34 calves from
Frank Tiech, Cresson, at 434
pounds at $29.25. A string of 70
calves from Tom Watscn of Clay
County sold for $31.25 and aver-
aged 418 pounds. W. B. Rose, of
Litilefield, put a top on the stock
er yearling market with 43 steer
yearlings weighing 719 pounds at
$28.50 and 13 heifers in the lot
at 590 pounds brought $27.50. C.
M. Mayes of Sulphur Bluff in Hop-
kins County, had a load of 734
pound stetrs at $26.50. B. L.
Brown of Crawford in Central
Texas, sold 26 steers at 820 pounds
at $28. E. P. Woods. Waurika,
Okla., had a load cf 424 pound
calves at $28. M. L. Edwards, M:.
Vernon, had two loads of steers,
a load of fat weighing 834 pounds
at $24.25 and a load of feeders at
824 pounds at $24.25. M. L. Ed-
wards. Jr., had a load of common
steers at $21.50 and Claude Bark
also of Mount Vernon, had a
load of steers at $21. W. F. Barr,
of Ballinger in Runnels County,
had a lead of Brahma type steers
at 755 pounds at $24.75.
A good many loads of canner.
cutters and fat cows from range
sections appeared at Fort Worth
Monday and killer demand is still j
making the old “worn out” cows
worth a lot of dollars. ,
Mathews Ranch Co., of Albany, |
marketed <some fleshy and fat
cows at $20, 21 and $22. and a half
load of canners and cutters at
$18.75. S. B. Burnett Estate, Guth-
rie, in King County, sold a load of
fat cows at $22 and another load
at $21 and two loads <f canners
and cutters at $19. Pitchfork Land
and Cattle Co., also of Guthrie,
had a load of hieferette cows at
$23.25. with a few aged fat ccws
out at $22. Bt ggs Bros., from near
Clairemont in Kent County, had
two loads cf old cows at $21.50.
The fat steer market was topped
with a good load of 20 head from
Sid Willis of Kingston. Okla., these
cattle weighed 1,257 pounds.
Very few well finished beeves
are appearing as yet on the mark-
ets though feeding will be more
active this winter due to the abun-
dant grain supply. Currently corn
and maize prices favor heavy feed-
ing. Mere fed cattle are due to
appear in the next couple of
months and markets should show
a sizeable increase after the first
of the year.
Hogs continued to have a hard
time keeping up with cattle or
sheep in relative prices, due to the
heavy movement of spring pigs to
market in the Cornbelt. Currently
prices in the Southwest have a
distinct advantage over Cornbelt
tops and sc-rting is much more
lenient. Top at Fort Worth Mon-
day of $19.50 to $20 was high
pcint for most of the nation’*
markets with Chicago at $19 to
$19.25; Kansas City at $18.75 to
$19 ar.d St. Lcuis at $19 to $19.25
for instance.
Sows sell with a very narrow
spread compared to top hogs since
most of the market hogs are at
rriatively light weights at this
time and few sows are being mov-
ed.
If enough sow* are kept at home
the talk of support price programs
for hogs will be accelerated. It is
the feeling generally that the
agriculture department ia paring
the way for a hog support price in
order to insure an increase in hog
production, which will be needed
as the preparedness program and
the program of feeding hungry
nations continues.

SHORTEN
LIFE ?
BEAT OLNEY!
Answer to Question No. 1:
1. Strenuous exercise, espec-
ially after 40, may shorten life.
On the other hand, one study
indicates that college athletes
live slightly longer lives than
preferred risk life insurance
policyholders. Football players
and those who had letters in two
or more sports scored highest in
longevity. Another study, how-
everashowed that holders of high
scholastic honors lived longer
than the athletes.
Answer to Question No. 2:
2. Rural communities that
need doctors are attracting
young physicians by building
clinics that contain the tools
modem doctors need to practice
efficiently. These tools, like X-
ray, are too expensive for the
average young doctor to buy and harboring
larger cities
where they are available to him
in hospitals. Now small towns
are "baiting doctor traps” by
furnishing the doctor with mod-
ern medical equipment.
Answer to Question No. 3:
3. No one is certain what use
tonsils may have but one theory
is that when they become in-
fected in the first three years of
life they tend to help the indivi-
dual build resistance against
later infection—a kind of natural
protection. In most cases this
protection is only temporary.
Doctors usually advise removal
of the tonsils when there are re-
peated attacks of sore throat,
when tonsils and adenoids cause
mouth-breathing, or there is
strong suspicion that they are
’—1—:— infection.
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Threet at-
tended funeral services held Sun-
day in McKinney for Mrs. Threet’s
step-mother. Mrs. J. A. Lewis, who
died Thursday in Spearman, Tex.
after a leng illness. The deceased
is a long-time ago Archer City
resident.
Sheriff and Mrs. A. H. Gosler
are reportedly prospecting for a
possible future ranch home in the
area around Idabell, Okla., to
which they can betake themselves
at the end of this year 1950 when
Gosler will become an ex-sheriff
of Archer County.
