lowed to burn until the birds re-

Moors cautions poultry men to
dim the evening lights for a few
minutes before turning them off
so the hens will have time to get
on the roosts. Large light bulbs
are not necessary. Moore recom-
mends the use of two 26 to 40

The announcement of the Com-

ing comment from Governor Shiv-
ers: "The future of water conser-
vation is the future of Texas." Hs
also added, "If tthe problem is

"My cows stayed fat all winter
and put on at least 100 pounds of
weight a piece. I had the vetch
combined and got |387.50 worth
of seed off the 16 acres.
I figure the extra pounds of
beef I put on the 20 head brought
me 9400. That makes a total of
$787.60 I got out of 16 acres of
vetch. It cost me $266 for seed,
land preparation, fertiliser, inocu-
lant, and combining, resulting in a
profit of $472.60."
Rccker went on to say that an-
other thing be likes about the vetch
was t£at the cows fed themselves
and he did nothing all winter but
throw out e few bales of hay
which the cows didn’t pay much
attention to.
Rucker went on to say that an-

he did last year.
Mrs. Hugo Carpenter of Silver
Lake is also sold on vetch as a
winter pasture and cover crop.
She said, "I had six acres of vetch
in our field laer winter and I
grazed six head of grown homes
on it all winter withouf any other
feed and they stayed fat."
Mrs. Ckrpenter also intends to
plant a large acreage to vetch

used from about the middle of
September until spring. "The

birds, feeders and waterers for
best results. It makes no differ-

lights ere used; however, the
more common practice is to use
morning lights because of con-
