Questionnalries for the 1964 Cen-
sus of Agriculture are now being
mailed out to farmers and ranchers
of Bosque county, according to
Gus Davidson, Jr, crew leader in
charge of the census in the coun-
ty.
The questionnaires are expected
to reach the farmers within a few
days. This will allow the fanners
a period of time in which to con-
sult their 1964 farm business re-
cords in order to answer questions
on the form accurately before enu-
merators begin calling on indi-
vidual farmers to collect the ques-
tionnaires. These visits are sche
duled to start on November 23 in
this county.
An enumerator will call on every
farmer in the district under his
supervision, the crew leader said.
At the time of the call, the enume-
rator will help the farmer com-
plete answers to any questions that
prove difficult to understand and
check the form for accuracy.
The do-it-yourself aspect of the
farm census is aimed at saving time
and effort.
The Census of Agriculture is ta-
ken every five years in the years
ending in “4” and "9” to gather
needed, up-to-date information on
the nation’s agricultural resources
and production. Such information
is vital in making decisions affect-
ing many segments of the U. S.
economy. Data gathered include
the number and size of farms, acre-
age and harvest of crops, livestock
inventory, information on farm e-
quipment and facilities, farm pro
ducts sold, and use of fertilizers,
insecticides, and herbicides.

Kilgore College was dismissed at
noon prior to Mr. Christensen’s ser-
vices.
According to an excerpt from
the Kilgore News Herald regard-
ing Mr. Christensen’s death, "The
passing of E. P.| (Pop) Christensen
leaves a void which cannot be fill-
ed. The high points in his happy,
fruitful life have been recounted
by the ministers and by this news-
paper. Some educators do great
work on the campus but do not
have time, energy, and interest to
do much more. “Pop” found time
on the campus for the extracurri-
cular activities and for visiting and
counseling with the students who
seemed to love him without excep-
tion. He was a devoted husband and
father, but he also found time to
be an unusually valuable leader
in his church and to be an active
civic worker.”
H. D. AGENT'S REPORT
The Boaque County Swine Eva-
luation Meeting held in Clifton,
November 19 & 20 was well at-
tended and those attending recei-
ved some good information on the
progress of improving their hogs.
Mr. Donald Osbourn, Extension
Swine Specialist and Mr. Frank
Orta, Extension Meats Specialist
with the Texas Agricultural Ex
tension Service conducted the pro-
gram for the two day meeting.
Thursday morning the group met
at the Clifton City Hall and Mr.
Orts discussed the points to look
for in evaluating market hogs on
foot. Slides were shown, showing
some good hogs and some that
were not so good. Following this
the group moved to the livestock
barns to evaluate four hogs that
had been brought in to be evalua
ted and slaughtered. The hogs
were numbered and then evaluated
and then the specialist gave their
evaluation. Much difference was
shown in the individual hogs on
foot and the percentage of lean
cuts, loin area in sq. inches, and
the backfat
mated.

The hogs were
taken to the loc-
ker plant to
be slaughtered and
the cut out
determined on them.
The cut out showed that only the
cut out or slaughtered hog can
be evaluated for sure as the cut
out fooled everyone. The actual
cut out of the hogs were as fol-
