-WHEREVER, YOU GO CALL TO-
Cattle Feeding
Plans Studied
With cattle feeding becoming
popular in Carson county and with
more attention being paid to
breeding herds, it is declared that
Carson county feeders are very
much interested in the “National
Beef Cattle Breeding Program.”
The Texas state agricultural
experiment station and the exten-
sion service of Texas, with its
county agent system, are working
closely with this cattle improve-
ment program. At the precent
time, 36 states and the territory
of Hawaii are working with the
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture in this
program.
Successful cattlemen are at-
tempting to breed and feed cattle
that will make the most money
by producing the most beef from
the least feed and at the same
time yield the cuts of meats de-
sired by the consumer. A yard-
stick must be found to measure
the qualities of the animals and
a means of finding out how these
qualities can be passed on to
future generations, in a sound
breeding program. This national
program of beef cattle breeding
was established three years ago
to satisfy such needs.

Big
Bed’s Bara
By Helen Langworthy
•pHE reason my husband has been
A nick-named Big Red is because
he’s over six feet tall, carrot-topped
and peppery dispositioned. While
- painting our home
fill-Minute and reaching far
wjp tvs mine out from the top
Fiction of the ladder Big
_ Red fell. There
were more people than the doctor
and I to realize that my husband
had broken his leg. He was howling
mad!
Surprisingly, though, Big Red
wasn’t too bad a patient during his
long hospitalization. Yes, leave it
to him—he did a royal job, nothing
simple and routine! His fracture
required specialists, operations and
enough paraphernalia around his
bed to make it resemble Franken-
stein’s nightmare. That’s my Big
Red!
During those long months be-
fore he came home Big Red
said that the thing he was most
thankful for was that he was
away from the Sanders, the
Markhams, and the Keatings.
Perhaps in other neighborhoods
there are more family’s like those
three. If so, I can sympathize with
all who live neighbor to thoroughly
nice but thoroughly tiresome folks.
Bi;' Abbott, Canyon.
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Lusk and
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hawley have
returned from a visit with rela-
tives in Dallas.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Obrechf,
Monroe and Paula, visited recently
with Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Chap-
man, Hot Springs, N. M.
“If this cure doesn’t work,”
Big Red agreed, “I could al-
ways do a repeat.”
Take Mr. Sanders, for instance. He
has gall stones. The way he de-
scribes the pain, the many medi-
cines the doctors have tried to dis-
solve them is something to remem-
ber for days. When anyone suggests
an operation, Mr. Sanders gasps,
“Oh, no!” You wonder if one would
rob him of his only conversational
topic!
Little Mrs. Markham is sweet and
lovely. She seems so—until she men-
tions she didn’t sleep last night, the
night before and for weeks has
heard the clock strike every hour!
She’s tried counting sheep, hot
milk and drugs. Nothing helps.
Then there’s Mr. Keating. He’s
next in size to Big Red. His woe is
an allergy. When he and his wife
come in maybe it’s the new daven-
port pillow that he stares at like it
came from Mars. He’s spent hours
receiving painful shots and telling
about them.
tttHEN Big Red finally came
** home and was established in
bed he told me to ask the Sanders,
Markhams and the Keating’s all to
visit. Those bores—and all at once.
Wondering if complex broken legs
could upset a man mentally, I
argued gently. Big Red roared so I
asked the three couples over.
It must have been the first time
anyone had dared having the three
chronic complainers under one roof.
How the conversation flew! “My '
painful gall stones—” was inter-
rupted with, “—not a good night’s
sleep for three years!” Then Mr.
Keating pounced on one of Big
Red’s fluffy blankets and gave us
a run down on awful allergies. I
looked at my husband. He was smil-
ing!
Then he began! With a voice
that could make a general stand
at attention, Big Red described
the troubles he’d undergone. He
reeled off treatments, doctors,
specialists, traction affairs, the
silver plates that had been ap-
plied to his leg bone during the
operations, the pain, the sleep-
lessness, the discomfort, the
way the doctors had been per-
plexed, hundre'ds of shots! It
was terrific. I think my mouth
flew open and I forgot to shut it.
When our company looked at each
other in extreme boredom an(3 wig-
gled their feet experimentally as
though they wondered how soon
they could decently leave,—Big Red
winked at me! He took a deep
breath—and began again on the hor-
rors of his case.
The three couples almost ran for
the front door.
Out on the porch, with Eig Red’s
voice just a muted roar our guests
expressed their sympathy. “Such
a one track mind!” said Mr. Keat-
ing.
“Don’t you get tired of hearing
him talk about pain?” asked Mr.
Sanders who never tires of his!
I stepped inside, closed the door
on their pity. Then I went to Big
Red . . . and we giggled, we roared
with laughter. Big Red's bed shook.
“I can’t wait ’til we see them . . .
next time,” I told him, finally.
“If this cure doesn’t work,” Big
Red agreed, “I could always do a
repeat!”
Somehow, though—I’m sure there
will be no need!
My five-year-old daughter is bossy, stubborn, defiant, and argues so
much with her father and me. The subject may be toys, candy, or
bedtime. After using up all other resources known to us we usually try
a few slaps. We invariably have more trouble. Now our three-year-old
son is beginning to copy her antics. My husband says we must be more
severe. Then we argue (after the children go to bed). I’m worried that
such punishment may result in more resentment followed np by fear
or hate. What do you think?
Whether or not your worries are justified depends largely upon the feelings
of rapport you and your husband have with your daughter. If the three of you
have many good times together and if she feels secure in your affection and in
the assurance that you are proud of her, she probably can take these occasional
slaps and even an occasional argument without its causing a great deal of
resentment on her part.
I realize, of course, that a brief question or description, such as you have
given, does not present an accurate picture of a family group. If your descrip-
tion is accurate, however, and your method of dealing with your daughter
is primarily that of arguing and punishing, you have every reason to be
disturbed. She is likely to grow in her resentment of and hostility toward you
and your husband. These attitudes, furthermore, probably will be accompanied
by a sense of guilt, which, in turn, may lead to further undesirable behavior.
Many times attention has been directed in this column to the growing feeling
of independence that characterizes most five-year-old children. It has been
noted, too, that this desire to be independent frequently leads these children
to be bossy, stubborn, defiant, and argumentative. Your daughter, therefore,
fits this description beautifully! It may well be, however, that in addition to
this factor, your daughter has resented the attention you necessarily have had
to give to her three-year-old brother. In fact, I get the impression that she
may not be too certain of your affection and that she feels that you are dis-
appointed in her.
If there is any likelihood of this being true, make special efforts to help
her feel that you really do love her and are proud of her. Be understanding
and patient. Realize that arguing and spanking do not get at the source of
the difficulty. In fact, they multiply your problems.
For whatever comfort it may be, let it be said that in six months or a year
your daughter probably will be much less bossy and stubborn. You will continue
to have problems, though!

Oar first baby is now eight months old" and I am interested in find-
ing a book which is written by a respected authority on the development
and behavior patterns which may be expected of infants and children
as they grow. I need something that deals specifically with each age
and with the concerns of that age (i.e., toilet training, etc.). I should
also like suggestions for creative activities with the different ages. Have
you suggestions, aside from Spock’s Pocket Hook of Baby and Child
Care (Pocket Books, 35 cents), which I have? Would you recommend
Gesell and his two volumes?
The books by Gesell (The First Five Years of Life (Hoeber, $4.50) and How
a Baby Grows (Hoeber, $2.50), two of his well-known books on children,
are excellent and I believe you would find them helpful.
The book by Powdermaker and Grimes entitled Children in the Family deals
with the physical and mental and emotional life of babies and growing children
and contains many excellent and helpful suggestions. Unfortunately, this book
is out of print, but you can probably find it in your public library.
A book by Flanders Dunbar entitled Your Child’s Mind and Body. (Random
House, $2.95) has real significance for parents. She deals specifically with
toilet training and other problems of child guidance that are not always dealt
with in other books. &
Creative Activities, by Rebecca Rice, published by the Pilgrim Press in
Boston ($3.50), would provide you with suggestions in this area.
As you know, there are any number of fine books in the field of child
development and the ones mentioned above are simply ones that I am sure you
would find to be helpful.
