Fine Weather Spurs Action
Good morning. My husband and I
took advantage of the beautiful
weather.
We began cleaning what had been
put off. The trouble was that we
thought we were two spring chickens
and that is far from the truth.
So, we’ve been suffering with aches
and pains and saying, “Never again!”
But we know we’ll do the same thing
again at the first opportunity. Some
people just never learn.
We have had flocks of robins in our
yard. They are probably on their way
north from Mexico and stopped here
for refueling with the myriad of cedar
berries. It has been a beautiful sight
Sunday, Feb. 3, was designated
Prayer Day by President George
Bush. He asked all to join him in pray-
ers for those who are struggling in the
Persian Gulf area. It brings to mind
what the English author, John Mil-
ton, wrote in 1662, “They also serve
who stand and wait.”
Monday, Feb. 4, the United Service
Organization (USO) celebrated its
60th anniversary. Congratulations to
this nonprofit and nongovernmental
organization that has done so much
for so many.
We offer sympathy to Mrs. Weldon
(Betty) Smith, who recently lost her
mother. May God bless you during
this time of grief.
The pastor’s Bible study at Our
Savior Lutheran Church was held
Feb. 6. The study of the book of Ephe-
sians was begun.
The next meeting will be Tuesday,
Feb. 19. If you are interested in at-
tending, call the Rev. Ben Warren-
burg at 676-3962.

fell and broke her arm in two places
Feb. 6. We are happy to say that she
is improving.
The Norse Circle of Our Savior’s

both—Rosalie for the interesting les-

The Prayer chain started Feb. 7 for
Anna Hill of West, who was scheduled
for a serious operation that morning.
Mrs. Hill is a sister of Fern Murphree

Our son, Justin, who is now living
with us, fell and brake his hand about
two weeks ago. It is rapidly improv-
ing, although at this writing it was
still in a cast. He feels fine.
Country living with two old people
was getting a bit boring, so he left
Thursday morning to go to Austin to
visit two brothers and a little nephew,
Marcus. He planned to return home
Feb. 12. It shouldn't be much longer
before he can return to work.
As I write this, the sun is shining,
the sky is clear, and it is a beautiful
day. I hope for the same kind of
weather for Valentine’s Day. With
this hope, I wish each of you, “Happy
Valentine’s Day!”

Beef Cattle Programs Make $$$ & Sense
“Marketing and Farm Policy” was
identified as a critical issue by the
residents of Bosque County during the
1967-90 Long Range Extension Plan-
ning process. In 1966 and 1967 when
this program was initiated, problems
such as an oversupply of traditional
crops thus producing lower market
prices, and reduced profit margins
were concerns of most agriculture
producers in Bosque County.
To address the beef cattle part of the
issue, 14 educational programs and
tours, eight newsletters, 15
newspaper articles, and 63 home
visits were conducted. A total of 1,768
persons participated in the education
programs that addressed Stocker cat-
tle production, replacement heifer
production, futures and options, co-
mingled marketing, and video mar-
keting over the four-year period of
1987-1990.
In 1990, a survey of program par-
ticipants was conducted to determine,
the impact of these educational ef-
forts. Survey results, such as: 80 per-
cent increase in stocker cattle
production; 29 percent increase in
replacement heifer production; 11 of
22 video auction program participants
monitor the sales as pricing tool; eight
percent have adopted the process; 38
percent of futures and option short-
course participants now utilize this
marketing strategy, 88 percent of the
shortcourse participants monitor fu-
tures prices; and 50 percent of the co-
mingled program participants are
willing to co-mingle heir cattle on a
trial basis, are very excellent.
Other figures that reflect the qual-
ity and success of the programs are:
94 percent of the stocker cattle pro-
gram participants rated the informa-
tion they gained as very or
moderately useful; 67 percent of the
video auction participants rated their
knowledge as adequate or very ade-
quate to use video auctioning to mar-
ket their products after participanting
. in the clinic, and 88 percent of the fu-
tures and options shortcourse par-o
ticipants rated the program as
excellent.
Finally, these programs have had a
favorable economic impact on the pro-
