Pastures
. In the past few years, as
land has been cleared, dairy-
men have cut down the native
grazing area for their cows.
Many wonder why the cows
do not respond in milk flow or
hold up in tHeir production.
Over grazing of pastures and
dry weather during the past
three years are the causes of
poor pasture.
Dairymen that put in two
or more fields of sudan have
found out that by rotating the
cows on the fields they can in-
crease Ihe carrying capacity
and the length of the grazing
period. No similiar practice is
given to native pastures and
as a result at present they do
not have the carrying ability
of previous years.
The beef growers of this
section sKip their stock to
othfcr pastures when their
grass here gets short. By doing
that they give their pastures
a chance to come out. Dairy-
men crowd theirs to the limit
all the time.
Unless the dairymen change
this practice this over-grazing
will soon kill out what good
native grass there is in this
section.
The dairymen of this sec-
tion have had the cheapest
factor in milk production—
good naltive pastures. It hits
now come to the point where
the native pasture has not the
ability to recuperate after
rains, before being grazed off
due to over-stocking what
little pasture remains. Clear-
ing this land of brush will
help some. Rotation will give
it the chance to re-seed and
come back. If the grass is
there your cows will produce.
No feed for bossy brings no
cash.

We were very glad to hear
thfjt Mrs. Clyde Rupp who has
been in the hospital at Corpus
Christi is improving nicely.
Mr. Percy Hunter has a
small herd of very nice cows.
The cows are all in good con-
dition. A few heifers just fresh
look like they would make an
excellent showing.
The feed situation is becom-
ing acute and coupled with
the shortage of pastures the
dairymen face a serious pro-
blem. Let us plan our feed
crops so that if we get by this
year we will'not be caught in
a similiar condition in the fu-
ture.

Recomendaciones Para El Mejora-
miento De Nuestras Lecherias
Pasturas
En anos pasados, como la
tierra ha sido de^eleraisada,
los duenos de las lecherias han
reducido sus pastas para sus
vacas, muchas se sorprende de
que sus vacas no dan suficiente
leche o no guardan el mismo
nivel de produccion en los ul-
timos tres anos, devido a que
hay demasiados animate) en
pastas chicas y en tiempo se-
co es la causa que nuestras
pastas esten en males condi-
ciones.
Los duenos de las lecherias
que siembran dos o mas labor-
es de zacate sudan han encon-
trado que cambiando sus va-
cas de una labor a otra aumen-
tan su produccion, y tienen pas
tas por mas tiempo. Pero
como esta practica no se lleva
acabo en las pastas el resulta-
do es que no tienen suficiente
zacate como en los anos an-
teriores.
Los ganaderos embarcan
sus ganados para otros lugares
cuando sus pastas aqui estan
mala condicion. Los duenos de
tienen demasia-1 dificultades de no tener pas-
turas para nuestras vacas.
las lecherias
das vacas en sus pastas, todo
el tiempo si no ponen sus prac-
ticas de tener menos cantidad
de vacas en pastas chicas, muy
pronto se terminara el zacate
en dichas pastas los duenos de
las lecherias de estos lugares
han tenido los mejores resul-
tados en la produccion de
leche. A llegado a un punto
donde el zacate nativo no
puede brotar despues de una
lluvia, antes de haberse aca-
bado devido de muchas vacas
en pastas chicas, desenrraisan-
do ayudara un poco, cambian-
do las vacas de una pasta a
otra dara lugar a que se re-
siembre y vulva a nacer el za-
cate. Si hay zacate sus vacas
producinin mas leche.
Why Attend Byrne Commercial College?
You, of course, realize the need of a business education
to make a worthwhile success in the business world, but
do you fully realize the advantages of getting this train-
ing at Byrne Commercial College, located in Dallas, the
city of employment. Note a few of the advantages.
Byrne College is fully accredited by the American As-
sociation of Commercial Colleges which assures
thorough, complete and modern training.
Byrne College will give y°u 25% more real training
for business than is given elsewhere. This means that
upon completion of your course in Byrne College you
would have a thorough, efficient training that will per-
mit you to step into a position formerly held by one of
experience or that you could pass the senior Civil Service
examination. You would not have to be content with the
ordinary beginner's job.
By using the time saved at Byrne, you can earn more
than the cost of your course. A course requiring three
months to complete in Byrne College requires six months
in other schools. A course requiring five and one-half
months to complete in Byrne requires nine elsewhere.
Think what this saving of time will mean to you in salary
earned.
HOW CAN WE DO THIS? The President of Byrne Col-
lege has made an extensive study of the knowledge re-
quired of young men and women to efficiently perform
the duties of a modem business office. He is the Author
of seven business textbooks. These books have had much
to do with the building of Byrme College. They have been
written with the view of giving a complete, thorough
modem business training, and do it quickly. They go
straight to the point, giving you the kind of knowledge
you will need in the business office. He also employes
the very best teachers and uses modem methods and
equipment.
Byrne Commercial College holds an enviable record
for placing its graduates. Its employment departemnt is
maintained for the sole purpose of assisting graduate# to

position for every graduate.”

cial College, Dallas.

THAT LAST WALLOP!
BEHIND THE POWER THAT DELIVERS THE ‘‘LAST
WALLOP” IS A BUILD-UP OF ENERGY, RESISTANCE
AND STAMINA.
COTTONSEED PRODUCTS are full of nutrients neces-
sary for building up muscle, energy, fat, milk production,
and for the maintenance of health and resistance in all
your farm animals.
Feeding Cottonseed products along with your farm grains
silage, and pastures, add that final ‘‘wallop of finish
for topping the beef market; for increasing milk produc-
tion of dairy cows, and for increasing staying power of
work animals.
