Creep - Feeding
Makes Beef at
Wartime Speed
Many feeders of beef cattle
are discouraged by the nar-
row margin between feeder
cattle and finished animals,
the higher market value of
grains, compared with the
present market prices of fin-
ished cattle, says A. L. Ward,
e d u catknal director, Na-
tional Cottonseed Products
Association. As a result,
fewer cattle are in feed lots
today. Th’g situation de-
mands a streamlined feeding
program for those who want
to produce beef under pres-
ent conditions.
Needed beef can be pro-
duced at wartime speed on
many farms and on small
ranches by creep - feeding
early, good quality calves, ex-
pel iei.ee and experiments
sh w. Calves that are creep-
fed make faster gains on less
feed, and usually have desir-
able market finish by wean-
ing time or after a shore

Convenient location of the
creep, so that calves will feed
regularly, i® important in
creep-feeding; and the best
locaticn is near water ano
shade where the cow herd
usually “loafs." Elaborate
creeps and feeders are not
necessary, but they should be
well built and should protect
the feed from weather.
A practical mixture for
creep-feeding calves up to 4
months cf age is: 200 pounds
of shelled or cracked corn, or
grain sorghum chops; ana
100 pounds of oats, or
coarsely ground barley or
wheat. At 4 months, start
using mixture of 800 pounds
of c-arsely ground farm
grains and 100 pounds of cot-
tonseed meal, or cake, or soy-
bean or peanut meal. Hay or
other roughage is needed if
grazing becomes short, and a
mineral mixture ukouRL al-
ways be available.

Used Bedding
i Offered for Sale
Musi Be Sterilized
Austin, Texas.—In a state-
ment issued today by Dr.
George W. Cox, State Health
Officer, it was disclosed that
33,672 mattresses, pillows,
and other used articles of
bedding had been sterilized
under state supervision dur-
r.g the calendar year 1943.
This figure represents the
number of articles of second-
hand bedding sold in the
State of Texas during 1943.
The state sanitary bedding
law requires that every used
article of beading which is
offered for sale must first
be sterilized by a process ap-
proved by the State Board of
Health. The law further re-
quires that after an article of
used bedding has been steril-
ized, a law tag be attached
showing that the steril zation
has been applied. In the pur-
chase of secondhand bedding
this tag is the purchaser's

Pout-War Planning
By Ruth Taylor.
All over the country men
are talking arid thinking of
post - war planning. What
will happen after the war’
What will U- the situat on
when the war plants are shut
d wn and thousand* upon
thousands of men ani women
are foread to make drastic
changes in their employment
and in their manner of liv-
ing? The dread spectre oi
unemployment stands at the
door of all workers’ homes.
What will happen when
the sold ers are demobilized
and return to take up their
jobs? Will those jobs still
be there for them in spite of
the promises made? What
will happen when the firms
have dissolved, and what will
happen to those who have
learned to take the places of
the men at the front?
Those who remember the
eond.tions after the last war
— particularly in England
where the civilian population
was m.re highly mobilized
than here, are quite honestly
worried. It is for those rea-
sons that we have so many
post-war planning commit-
tees functioning on ways and
means to avoid a let-dt.wn, a
post-war depression.
What the men at the front
want is simple—they want a
chance to work, an oppor-
tunity to live in peace. They
want tc resume their lives, to
re-establish their homes, to
repair their enterprises, to
find constructive jobs at
work they like to do. We ad-
mit that there will be dif-
ficulty in altering the pace of
their lives, that many will
have grow' away frern the
lives they knew'. They have
seen new places, met new
people and their outlooks will
have been broadened in some

the vari< us groups of our cit-
izens. Each w.U be wanting
the same thing—and unless
we can plan so there will be
enough to go around, we will
be laced with a threat to
unity.
How can we handle this
situation? F»> applying the
enees to be held this year in
every major region of the
United State* has been suc-
cessfully concluded at the
University of Illinois under
the joint sponsorship if the
University’s College of Agri-
culture, the Illinois Manufac-
turers’ Association, and the
Committee on C o o i>eration
with Agriculture of the Na-
tional Association of Manu-
facturers.
The 150 farm and business
leaders of IUino's thus jrath-
same spirit of cooperation U> ered decided, among other
post-war problems that we
have to war problems. By
realizing that since our aims
are the same, we can, if we
will work out a method to
further them. We can, if we
will, realize that all men are
brothers, that each had a
part in this war whether at
the front or behind the lines.
That each as an American,
regardless of class, creed or
color, is entitled to consider-
ation as an individual, not as
part of a group. We can plan
out ways to work together
rather than to pull apart, but
we must work together and
be ready to see the other fel-
low’s piint of view. Post-
war planning must be plan-
ning for and by all Amer-
icans.

tier.. Dr. Cox urged that all have r # m ained static in
purchasers cf used bedding
demand to see that the ster-
ilization tag has been at-
tached. “Before buying any
article of bedding, whether
new or secondhand, the pur-
chaser should demand to see
the law tag since all bedding
is required to show some sort
if tag," Dr. Cox said.
New bedding is required to
have a tag attached showing
that all new materials were
used in its manufacture, and
also the type and grade of
filling materials used. Bed-
ding manufactuerd from sec-
ondhand materials is requir-
ed to have tags attached
showing that the article is
made of secondhand filling
materials and that steriliza-
tion has been applied.

farm equipment.
Now, having discussed to-

lems, the farmers and busi-
ness men of a state which is
preparing to put 20,300,000
acres of land into crop pro-

normally ranks third in the
value of its manufactured
products, have* returned to
their homes to assume lead-

a better America in postwar.

“You wrote a policy on a

“Sure!" replied the new
salesman. “Statistics show
