sloe will describe exactly what a
meat-type hog Is.
A six-county swine school and
cnrcns cut-out contest will be held! Examples of the Correct type"
at the Gillespie County Fair-1 compared to the "ovarfat, dumpy
type" will be made prior to having
ISth
grounds next Monday, July
Tuesday, July 17th.
The school Is being sponsored
by the Gillespie County Breeders
Group In cooperation with Exten-
sion Service personnel of Llano,
Mason, Kerr, Blanco, and Burnet
counties In addition to those of
Gillespie county.
Every Llano county producer is
encouraged by County Agent T. D.
Tanksley to attend the meeting,
which Is being patterned as close-
ly as possible after the annual
swine school conducted each
spring at Texas A A M.
The program will begin Mon-
day morning at 9:16 with discus-
sions on why pork producers must
change to the meat-type hog if
they aim for continued success
In the hog business.
Many producers hsve s mlscon-
each person guess the backfat
thinkness and percentage of lean
cuts on the 8 or 10 barrows that
will be entered by swine producers
from the six counties partlcpjtlng
In the swine school.
Immediately prior to each produ-
cer trying hla band at grading, a
demonstration will be given on the
correct method to take backfat
measurement on live hogs. This
will also help producers get their
"sights set" before guessing at the
backfat thinkness on the other
hogs.
Monday afternoon's program will
Include discussions on the cheap-
est, most practical method a com-
mercial producer can follow in
order to raise meat-type hogs. A
detailed breeding and feeding pro-
gram will be outlined.
Also, Fred Hale of Texas A * M
Hunting mishaps have combined
j with surging water tragedies to
types of producers. The afternoon gttr Texag safety authorities, ac-

Jumping Bass
Affords Clue
High flying antics of two bass
In the dead of night prompted
Kenneth Jurgens, Aquatic Biolo-
gist for the Game and Fish Com-
mission, to suggest the black beau-
ties may be tilting better between
dusk and dawn
He reported to the Chief Aquatic
Biologist that two men fishing In
Inks Lake of the Highland Lakes
chain had one has Jump Into their
boat while another simultaneously
lunged against the side of their
boat.
"This seems to be more than
Just another good fish story," said
Jurgens who fulled to find any
hook or net. marks on the black
that landed In the boat. "Most like.
Iv these bass were madly chasing
something on the surface when the
Incident happened."
The bass that startled the two
men (who were running a trotline)
by vaulting over the boat sides
program will close st 4.15 with a
"f,ook at the Future" with John
McHamey, extension service econo-
mtsL
Tuesday morning's program will
open et 9:30, with Dr. C. M. Pat-
terson, extension service veternla-
rain of College Station discussing
diseases and parasites of swine.
Dr. Patterson Is respected for his
down to earth, pracUcal frankness
concerning swine problems.
The final portion of the program
Tuesday morning will enable each
produced to see the hogs dresaed
and one-half cut up that were
graded on n live-bails on Monday
morning.
“This Is the most worthwhile part
or the program.** said Tanksley.
"and we sincerely hope that a
large group of IJano producers will
take advantage of this opportunity
to take part In a ewlne school."
Individual prises will be award-
ed to adult and Juntore who make
the best score In grading the hogs
on a live basis. In addition to
prises to producers that have the
greatest cut-out value In their hog
entries.
