NOTES or THE SCHOOL
The Senior Class presented a very
entertaining play in the high school
auditorium Friday evening of last
•week, entitled “The Campbells Are
Coming."
The story took place In the home
of the "well to do” lirannigan fam
ily in the Ozark mountains in Mis
souri. Ma lirannigan, played by
Arllne Hall, was the Grandmother
and guardian of Dick Brannigan,
Lon Pichler; Betty Brannigan, Jean
Wandersce and Kaye Brannigan,
Marie Gibson, who were left in her
care after the death of their par
ents. After Kaye goes to college
she Hoon forgets her sweetheart of
the mountains, Jeff Scudder, Jim
Adams, and becomes interested in a
city lad, Kingston Campbell, Edwin
Naahtman, who decides to comb to
the Ozarks to meet her family ^nd
brings with him his sophisticated
mother, Augusta Campbell, Violet
Sanderson. The plot becomes both
complicated ami hilarious when the
family come to Jeffs aid by pre
tending to be a family of Hillbillies,
which they succeed in very well
with the help of Catalpn Tapp and
her Ozark father, Bildad Tapp
plnyed by Mary Lu Spath and Bay
Grubb. Jeff Scudder’s father, Au
gusta Scudder, played by Bernard
Hoffman, also proved to pe an < n
tertaining character.

tween act which consisted of Bongs
by Dorine Hangeman and Luetta
Lenk, a reading “Hot Ice" by L. J.
Gartner, piano solo, Marilyn Harley

be glad to know that the young
people are presenting a Musical
Festival in the auditorium Friday
evening the 13th. We hope there
will be a large crowd to enjoy the
solos, duets, chorus, batan twirling
and many other musical numbers.

! No Runts
among these grunts
A LOT of credit goes to our Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Stations where men spend their lives
working out improved methods of breeding and feeding.
For example, E. F. Ferrin, head of the swine division
of the University of Minnesota, recently ran a feeding
test with seven lots of pigs. He found that too small an
amount of protein in the ration produces more runts,
slower gains and less profit.
All pigs in the test started at an average weight of
50 pounds and were self-fed without
pasture for 14 weeks. All seven lots re
ceived the same kind of protein supple
ment which was tankage and .
soybean meal in equal parts
with 10 % alfalfa meal to sup- •
ply adequate amounts of B
vitamins. Some lots got a
h. 1.1 err in high-protein ration (18% of
the total feed); others were cut down to 15 %
and 12 % protein. As pigs get heavier, they
need less protein, so in some lots the amount
of protein was reduced as they gained in weight.
The best results came from an 18 % protein
ration until the pigs reached 100 pounds, and
15 % protein after that weight. The hogs on
low-protein rations made smaller gains and
were more uneven in individual weights when
the test ended. By just such careful experi
ments, the "know-how" of hog raising has
> reached its present efficiency.

SULPHUR FOR LAMB COCCIDIOSIS
Coccidiosis in lambs may be successfully prevented
by the addition of ground crude sulphur to their feed
in proportions ranging from H% to 1H% of the
ration, claims the Idaho Vdpol Growers Bulletin.
Effectiveness of this sulphur treatment has been
; demonstrated by the U.S.D.A. working in coopera
tion with large lamb feeders, the report states.
CATFISH CAN'T RAISE CORN
Nature has equipped catfish with
feelers so they can find their way
about in muddy, silt-laden rivers.
Most of that mud and silt is rich
topsoil from once fertile farmlands;
the type of soil that should still be
producing 50 to 100 bushels of com.
Catfish can’t use that fertile mud to raise corn,
and that’s too bad. Because right now, America
needs all the corn it can prodtxce. There’s no need
to let catfish have any part of your farm. Your top
soil can be saved. Soil conservation practices hqld
the raindrops where they fall, control water erosion,
stop gullying, stabilize the soil. The Agricultural
Extension Service of your State University will be
glad to help you work out a special program to fit
your farm.
Through soil conservation practices fertility is
maintained, crops make better yields, carrying capac
ity of pastures is increased, more and cheaper feeds
are provided for livestock. All this means more
money in the farmer’s pocket. Swift & Company
believes that whatever helps livestock helps all of
us—producer, meat packer and consumer. To you
as a producer, we earnestly suggest that an investi
gation of soil conservation

I A MILLION extra
Lv9 I 5 ANNUAL MEAT RATIONS
Approximately 200 million pounds of meat a year are being
wasted as a result of bruises, crippling and death losses of live
stock in transit to market, according to H. R. Smith of the
National Livestock Loss Prevention Board. This Board has
found that all of us who have to do with the handling of live
stock can help save much of this needed meat by following
these simple rules:
9
1. Inspect chutes, tracks end cars far nails and reugh corners.
1 Do not overlead or |am animals. Partition mixed loads of
livestock.
9. Never beat or prod with whips or clubs.
4. When trucking, start and step with caution; watch for bumps,
rats and sharp curves.
5. Check your load frequently. Livestock shift in transit.
By observing these simple rules, we can all cooperate in cutting
down this loss of a million extra meat rations a year; and we
can help contribute to the nation the additional meat supplies
wbioh ft needs so greatly right now!
$5 —IDEA WINNER—$5
I. Keep first aid articles—tape, gauze,
iodine, etc.—handy in a glass jar
in the kitchen, workshed or bam.
Also keep nuts, bolts, and nails
assorted as to size in glass jars.
I. Use a salt shaker in planting small
i seeds in vegetable or flower gar*
dens. They are distributed more
evenly.

U. S. IS TOP BEEF PRODUCER
Farmers and ranchers in the United
States raise more cattle for beef than
in any country on earth. We have a
third more cattle than Russia, twice
as many as Argentina or Brazil. There
are actually more cattle in India, but
there the cow is sacred and not used
for food.

Keep Your Cream Checks Up!
If you’ve noticed that the cream content cf your milk
goes down at this time of year, it may indicate that your
dairy cows are not getting all the feed they need for
heavy production. Those first blades of grass aren’t as
good as they look, for they won’t give the cows all the
proteins they require. So don’t turn your dairy cattle
out to graze and expect them to take care of all their
feed requirements with early pasture. i;
Supplement their spring ration of grass with grain and
protein supplement mixture, and hay ... grain and pro
tein supplement for milk production, hay for necessary
roughage. This tonic is sure t4 put new spring in the
step of an undernourished cow.
The best indication of contentment in the dairy herd
is the butterfat test of your milk!
