Guy Rush Takes
jersey Heifer In
Rotary’s Contest
Levelland Rotary club’s an-
nual award of a registered Jer-
sey heifer will this year go to
Guy Rush, 4-H club boy, who
lives four miles south of Level-
land on the Brownfield highway.
Winner of the heifer was an-
nounced Friday by County Agent
D. W. Sherrill.
The Rotary club will also a-
ward a registered Duroc Jersey
gilt this year to an outstanding
Future Farmer of America. Taker
of this prize, however, had not
been announced late last week.
Artie B. Forehand, Levelland
vocational agriculture instructor,
reported that with school closed
for the summer, he has had dif-
ficulty contacting the boys to
secure their records of project
work.
The awards each year for
Rotarians to Hockley 4-H and
FFA boys are based on an essay
contest and project conclusion.
The essays formulate 40 percent
of award basis for the past year’s
work. Ability of the boys to car-
ry projects to successful con-
clusion counts 60 percept toward
the prizes.
Young Rush, this year’s heifer
winner, will be required to turn
back to the sponsoring group the
first heifer calf produced by the
prize heifer. The registered Jer-
sey heifer for Rush was selected
from herds of Roy Conatzer.
