like says that one of the moat
important characteristics of beef
animals is the ability to grow
rapidly either on feed lot or grass.
Largo individual differences have
been demonstrated and measured
on animals in terms of daily gain.
These experiments have shown that
this ability is transmitted from
sire or dam td off-spring
Improvements can be ‘made in
herds more rapidly if stockmen,
know which of their animals pos-
sess this ability before deciding
to use them as nerd replacements.
A project is now under way at
Bluebonnet whereby stockmen can
have their eahres put on tost, and
Warwick and his staff can evalu-
ate the animal’s sbiblity to gain.
Ibis project and its relationship
to selection of herd sires and dams
will ba discussed by Warwick at
the Tuesday night meeting.

The third county rat control
program is well under way. Each
community chairman has bom sup-
plied with information to bo pass-
ed oa to his neighbors regarding

terial will be available at each

present for the masting in parson
but desire the material contact
your local chairman and ho can
purchase the material for you.
Since Van Zandt County has
been placed under quarantine for
Pink Bo 11 worm, cotton farmers
should be taking some
to help prevent the spread of this
destructive pest which is by far
the most destructive of all cotton
insects.
C. E. Wesley, entomologist with
the United States Department of
Agriculture, will be in charge of
control work in Van Zandt Co.
One oi the measures which cot-
ton farmers are urged to take
la stalk destruction as soon as
the cotton has been picked, which
is effective since it removes the
worm’s food supply and hiberna-
tion place at the same time.
Stalks should be eut or chopped
> soon as possible and ployed
over-wintered and emerged In the
spring; at a depth of four inches,
40 par coat emerged; aad at a
six-inch depth, only 10 per cent
of the worms emerged in the
spring. v
Another good practice is to grsso
the cotton Holds heavily aad oven
over-gras* since catue will clean
up all damaged bolls not picked or
pulled, all locks left hanging, ai d
all green boils which have pro-
vided a food supply for the worms.
Another measure not recom-
mended as a permanent practice
hut justified as an emergency
measure is raking and burning of
stalks.
It is recommended that no en-
treated seed be saved this year. All
untreated seed should be taken to
the oil mill or fed to livestock
and treated seed or seed from s
free area he secured next year.
Only a light infestation has
been found in this county and
there is a good chance to eradicate
It if measures are taken in time.
The hast measures are those re
commended above since it is very
difficult to control the pink boll-
worm with insecticides.
Since the worm hibernates in
the seed or bolls left in the field,
quick destruction of his hiberna-
tion places is recommended.

normal amounts of other vitamins
during the periods when grass is
ordinarily green and succulent.
The lack at these essential nu-
trients, points out the veterinarian,
prevents the normal metobolic pro-
cesses which are essential to tho
proper functioning of the muscles.
As a result of this interfenence,
muscle tissues, primarily of the
rear legs, loins and heart, degener-
ate causing paralysis and usually
death of the affected animal.
Dr Patterson urges livestock
producers to plant crops for winter
grating but If moisture is not suf-
ficient for growth at these crops,
than, he says, other sources of
supplies must be provided. He re
commends the feeding of good
.quality hay, silage or vitamin A
enriched concentrates.
