NEIL ROZELL TO BE AWARDED
AMERICAN FARMER DEGREE
Neil Rozell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Rozell of Bogata.
will receive the American Farm-
er Degree in Kansas City, Mo.,
next week. The American fann-
er degree is the highest award of
the Future Farmers of America.
In his recognition as an Ameri-
• can farmer he was named the
Star American Farmer of Area
6, which consists of 16 North-
east Texas Counties. Only two1
people out of 1,000 FFA mem-1
bers may become American
Farmers.
Some of the requirements to
become American Farmer are: A
boy must have completed all
agriculture offered in the high
school last attended; must have
been out of school for at least j
one year; must have shown out-!
standing ability ns a leader and 1
many other requirements which
Neil has met and in most cases
far surpassed. As far as we
know Neil is the second boy from
Red River County to receive the
American Farmer degree, the
other being Marion Mitchell of
the Bogata Chapter.
Neil’s project program went
like this: First year 1953-54,
sheep and cotton with $193.28 la-
bor income. 1954-55 sheep, calf
and cotton with $1165.16 labor

Bulldogs to Host
Liberty-Eylau
Here Friday
Bogata Bulldogs will host Lib-
erty-Eylau Friday night in the
local pridders first conference
game of the season. A conference
game with Mt. Vernon was can-
celled last week when that school
closed after six of their students
and two teachers were killed in
a school bus-truck crash near
Cooper.
Bulldog Coach Warren McFall
said Tuesday that his team would
probably try to run a spread
formation to get around Liberty-
Evlau’s hard-running fullback,
fast halfback and hard charging
line.
Bogata’s Friday night foe is
one of the top ten Class A squads
in the state, with an average
weight of 185 pounds per man.
The Bulldog gridders average
148.
With all these disadvantages,
McFall declared the Bulldogs
would do their best in the tough
fight coming up this week end.

HERSCHLER DISCUSSES HIE NEW
BRUCELLOSIS LAW ON CATTLE
By PAUL HERSCHLER
County Agent
There has been a lot of interest
shown by our beef cattle pro-
ducers in the Brucellosis law
Many have asked how will the
county go—Plan One or Plan
Two.
Plan One is a calf hood vaccin-
ation program only. Plan twr>
is a testing program in which all
sexually mature cattle will be
tested.
The committee which was ap-
pointed for Red River County
will determine how they think it
best to get the cattle owners’
opinions on the matter. 7’ pet
cent of the cattle owners repre-
senting at least 51 per cent of
the cattle must designate which
plan they wish to go before the
county makes application to the
State Dept, of Agriculture for
any plan.
For the next week or ,two I
will have in this column some
questions and answers that are
frequently discussed by livestock
producers o nthis subject. If you
have a question you would like
discussed here please let me know

pay penalty if they do not com-
ply7 Once a county enters tha
brucellosis program, all csttls
owners must participate or be
placed under quarantine, fined,
or both.
5. How many states have bru-
cellosis laws? Every state in the
U. S. has laws permitting coun-
ties to work under a brucellosiB
eradication program.
6. If four or five counties
agreed on a program, would it
help in moving cattle? The larg-
er the certified area becomes,
the less trouble it causes in rout-
ine movement of cattle.
7. What will happen to a coun-
ty that doesn’t do anything? No-
thing will be done to a county
that does not engage in a pro-
gram. Any pressure that comes
to bear will be the result of re-
luctance of buyers in bidding on
their cattle.
8. What determines the type
of program The desires of cat-
tlemen in each county.
9. Does 75 per cent of the own-
ers and 51 per cent of the cattle
include dairy herds? The 75 per
cent of cattle owners, or the cat-
tle, as referred to in the law per-
tains to any man who has ren-
dered cattle for taxes, and any
such cattle, irrespective of breed
or other consideration.
10. Will you have to go to
Plan Two after a few years?
There is no provision in Texas
law that would force any coun-
ty to enter a brucellosis pro-
gram. Any county entering such
a program will do so of their own
initiative.
11. How effective is calfhood
vaccination program? A calf-
hood vaccination program will
lower thi amount of infection in
a herd or area to a very low
level. However, some animals
are not capable of building a
strong immunity and therefore
may contact the infection in spite
of vaccination.
12. Am I exempt from test if
I vaccinate the animal myself?
Only those animals vaccinated by
persons accredited by the Texaa
Animal Health commission will
bo recognized as official vaccin-
ates.
