COYOTE POISONING
IN JANUARY
Reports are coming in daily of
the damage being done by coyotes
throughout the county. The
Commissioner’s Court has always
cooperated on predator control
programs and keeps one or two
trappers employed when available,
but still the coyotes increase in
large numbers.
Arrangements have been made
with the Predator Control Division
of the U. S. Fish and Wild Life
Service to send men to Refugio
County the second week in Jan-
uary, 1945, to supervise the
Coyote Poisoning Program.
who is a qualified selector of tur-
keys for breeding stock and tube
testing turkeys for Pullorum,
assisted County Agent Weiss cull
and blood test 132 turkeys for Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. King at Austwell.
SAW MILL SET UP
Mr. C. W. Simmons, Extension
Forester of A. and M. College
Extension Service, was in Refugio
December 14 and 15.
Mr. Simmons assisted County
Agent Weiss in setting up a saw
mill at Ira Heard’s. This is the
first saw mill that has been
brought into Refugio County in a'
good many years. It will be used
to saw lumber out of bridge timber
and make lumber out of some of
the native trees. The saw mill
will be put into operation after
the first of the year.
LINES RUN
Terrace lines were run on Anton
Strouhal farm in the Bonnie View
Community, December 16 by
County Agent Weiss.
TURKEY BLOOD TESTED
Mr. Jurcek, State Turkey
Specialist from A. and M. College,
visited Refugio County on Decem-
ber 13 and helped select breeders
in Dr. J. E. Bauer’s flock of tur-
keys at Austwell. All birds were
tube tested for Pullorum.

GET READY FOR
ACCOUNTING
This year farmers have until
January 15, 1945 to file their
declaration of estimated income
tax for 1944. Last year the decla-
ration had to be in by December
15. But don’t let this month of
grace delay you in preparing your
return. The best procedure is to
get ready early, advises Tyrus R.
Timm, economist in farm manage-
ment for the A. and M. College
Extension Service.
And in case you’ve forgotten,
final returns for the calendar year,
1944, still are due on or before
March 15 next. There’s no change
on that point.
Now about payment. Mr. Timm
says it must cover the remaining
amount not previously paid with
earlier declarations of estimated
tax, if you made one. In other
words, you’re expected to get
square with Uncle Sam’s book-
| keepers on March 15 or when you
| make your declaration on January
I15'
You can get the forms you’ll
! need by writing to your nearest
j internal revenue office. They’re
available now. For summarizing
! the farm business you’ll need
Form 1040 F. . . .That’s Form
j “one oh four oh F” for farm ex-
j pense and income. Your personal
j tax form........No. 1040........ “one oh
! four oh” is a good deal simplified
I this year, and Mr. Timm says the
i changes are all ‘Tor the better.”
I In addition, if you sell livestock
for breeding which you’ve had on
your farm over six months, you’ll
profit by obtaining another form
called Schedule D. The same
Schedule applies to dairy cattle or
work stock.
It’s a good idea to get these
forms as soon as possible, and be
sure to order extra copies you can
keep in your own files for future
reference. Later on your county
Extension Service agents will have
additional information to help you
prepare for this final accounting,
Mr. Timm says.

GOOD — And Good For You
What tasty tidbit also packs a
healthy wallop? The answer is
salted soyas which are nice to
nibble on, or to grind up in sand-
wich mixtures, yet help consider-
ably to “up” the daily supply of
protein. Recipe for salting your
own soyas comes form the West-
inghouse Home Economics Insti-
tute. Soak iy2 cups of soybeans
overnight and cook for one hour in
the morning. Drain thoroughly.
Spread on large baking sheet,
i brush with one tablespoon short-
| ening, sprinkle generously with
I salt. Bake for 1 y2 to 2 hours in a
j 350 degree oven, stirring beans
i every half hour. Can be fried in
deep fat instead—if you have fat
to spare—at 350 degrees for eight
to ten minutes. It’s best to fry
only a few at a time.

Attractive Trimmings
Orange cups filled with mint
jelly make an attractive garnish
for a roast of lamb, say Westing-
house home economists who also
suggest cutting orange, lemon or
grapefruit rind into fancy shapes
as a nice color contrast with any
kind of roast.

Three popular misconceptions
about canines are here debunked
by the Gaines Dog Research Center,
New York City.
The country dog does not live
longer than the city dog. As a mat-
ter of fact, the exact reverse is
true: The lifespan of the average
city dog is two to three years longer
than that of his country cousin.
Chief reason for this is the better
care city dogs receive, particularly
in the matter of feeding. City dogs,
of course, are not exposed to the
natural hazards encountered by
country dogs.
A dog that holts his food is not
undernourished. It is natural for a
dog to wolf or gulp his meals. The
trait is believed a carry-over from
primitive days when dogs ran in
packs and each had to eat fast to
get his share of captured food. An-
other fact: The structure of the
dog’s mouth and throat is unlike
that of most domesticated animals.
You cannot tell a purebred dog
by his black-roofed mouth. The
mouths of many cross-breds are
black as midnight. The black tongue
is peculiar to the Chow Chow, and
some authorities hold that a black
or partially black tongue is an in-
dication of Chow blood somewhere
along the line even though a given
animal may have no other hint of
Chow resemblance or characteris-
tics.

An Army That’s
Clever Been Beaten

THIS vest American agricultural army
i doesn’t know the meaning of defeat.
These millions of American farm and ranch peo-
ple are advancing along the road to final victory,
shoulder to shoulder with the men and women in
the armed services. No "E” flags fly from the
ridge-poles of their barns ... no medals are
pinned on their shirt fronts. Their reward is the
inner satisfaction of a job well done.
Look at their record of victories! In 1944, food
production again reached an all-time high—158,-
950,000 meat animals were slaughtered; 3,101,-
000,000 bushels of corn, 1,115,000,000 bushels of
wheat; dairy products, poultry, eggs, etc., in rec-
ord or near-record quantities! And because they
produced all this food, the meat packing industry
was also able to process and distribute a record
volume of meats—25 billion pounds.
Each year since the war started, what seemed
to be "impossible” goals were set for food pro-
duction. Each year these objectives have been
reached and surpassed in spite of shortages of
help and machinery. Farmers and ranchers have
produced the staggering tonnages of foods re-
quired to feed millions in the armed services and
the rest of the nation at home.
America is proud of the victories won by
this "Army That’s Never Been Beaten.”

CEILING PRICES ON LIVE HOGS
Under the present regulations, the ceiling
price for all live barrows and gilts is $14.75
per hundredweight and for all sows, stags
and boars the ceiling is $14.00 per
hundredweight.
These ceiling prices are for Chicago only,
and vary from market to market. The differ-
ence between the ceilings for sows, stags and boars, and
for barrows and gilts is 75c at all markets, however.
Present support prices are as follows: "Good” to
"Choice” barrows and gilts that weigh between 200
and 270 pounds have a floor price of $12.50, Chicago
basis. At terminal and interior markets other than
Chicago, the support price is $2.25 below the ceiling
price (as of Nov. 15, 1944) at that market for hogs
within the 200 to 270 pound weight range.
These support prices will remain in effect until June
1945.

Another new year starts, full of promise, and questions
for American agriculture. Will the war end in 1945?
How much food will Europe need from us? Will rationing
and price controls be relaxed? What about the feed situ-
ation? These are but a few of the "ifs” we are up against
when we make plans for the coming year. To help live-
stock producers, we here condense opinions recently
expressed by War Food Administration economists.
CATTLE: They foresee for ’45 an increase in the num-
ber of cattle and calves slaughtered, partially as a
result of the tendency to reduce the size of herds
They also expect an increase in the number of cattle
fed for slaughter. From 1946 to 1949, they expect a
gradual decline in slaughtering, with yearly slaughter
around 28 to 29 million head.
HOGS: Their estimate of total 1945 hog slaughter is
about 79 milhon, against approximately 100 million
in ’44. They expect hog production in 1946 to be close
to 1945 levels, depending on the feed situation.
SHEEP, LAMBS: Slaughter in ’45 will likely be the
smallest since 1929, due to recent selling of breeding
stock. By 1946, they see a demand far exceeding the
supply, leading to possible expansion of flocks over
the following five years. This trend may be upset by
wool-factor uncertainties.
We have a pamphlet on "Beef Cattle Prospects for 1945,"

tural Economics, U. S. D. A. Want a copy free? Mail

THE EDITOR’S COLUMN
In nearly 20 years with Swift &
Company, I have talked with
thousands of farmers and ranch-
ers in all sections of the United
States, and have tried to bring
about a better mutual under-
standing in the American livestock and meat
industry. I have benefited greatly from these
talks. But even in 20 years, a man can get the
viewpoint of only a relatively few people. That
is why this page has been born, so that we can
talk things over with more of you than it is
possible to do personally. We want your con-
structive ideas, views, and thoughts for the
betterment of the livestock and meat industry.
We will welcome your suggestions and fair criti-
cisms. Any questions you raise will be answered
in these columns, or by letter.
Should you feel like writing me a letter about
any agricultural matter, please do so. Or if you
are in Chicago, drop in at my office at Swift &
Company, Union Stock Yards. If you haven’t
time to visit, perhaps you can phone me at this
number—Yards 4200, local 710.
May the new year bring to all of you good
weather, good crops, good returns for your
work, good health, and an end of war.
