Texans Producing
Quality Turkeys By ,
Higher Breeding
College Station, March 12.—
Many Texas turkey growers have
taken a page from the book of
experience of cattle raisers and
are improving "the quality of their
turkeys, says Geo. I*. McCarthy,
Extension Service poultry hus-
bandman for Texas A. and M.
College.
- A few years ago very little se-
lection was practiced and produc-
tion of turkeys was comparable
to the hit-and-miss methods of
the beef cattle business of 25
years ago. Four years ago, how-
ever, growers adopted the example
of the cattlemen in breeding up
their herds and introduced the
broad breasted turkey. Only three
farms experimented with the new
type at the outset, but other pro-
ducers since have found that the
broad breasted specimen not only
improved the quality of their
stock, but also are good feeders,
mature early and increase the
vitality of ordinary turkeys.
Mainly as the result of educa-
tional work by the Extension Ser-
vice, McCarthy says, 8,000 flocks
today contain broad breasted breed-
ers. This figure is based upon
the 1941 breeding season, and
represents approximately ten per-
cent of the turkey population in
Texas.
The specialist regards this
achievement as “remarkable” in
view of the short time the pro-
gram has been under way.
“The result of the turkey im-
provement work sponsored by the
Extension Service," McCarthy
says, “was clearly reflected during
the 1940 turkey marketing season.
Texas produce dealers said that
the quality' of turkeys in the state
was the best they ever had han-
dled. Market demands have been
studied carefully and turkey pro-
ducers today are more interested
in producing the kind of turkey
the American housewife, hotels,
restaurants and the retail trade
as a whole want. Turkey produc-
tion in Texas today is maturing
fast and many of the growing
pains eased." '
ARTIE Mf GOVERN
Active Recreation Year Around
You don’t like skating, there’s
no convenieht spot for skiing or
tobogganing in the community, so
you have a perfect alibi for doing
nothing at all until the golf
course or tennis court is open
again. What a confession of down-
right laziness that is! Is there
any thing the matter with danc-
ing? Who said you had to be a
“jitterbug”? What’s wrong with
the local gymnasium? It has a
swimming pool, a handball or bad-
minton court, hasn’t it? I’m not
talking about exclusive—and ex-
pensive—private clubs. I .mean
your school community center or
“Y.” Suppose all these are denied
you (though it would be difficult
to find any neighborhood that
didn’t offer some sort of active
recreation for the asking), is any-
thing going to prevent your tak-
ing a good brisk walk every day?
Or organizing an exercise class
among your friends?
Don’t tell me you have to be
content with card games, reading,
or listening to the radio. * Of
course, there is nothing wrong
with these recreations if our work
is of a strenuous nature or if we
get sufficient exercise in some
other 'way. But for the person of
sedentary habits, they should be
combined with some more active
pursuits. ‘Otherwise, the end of
winter will find him with an un-
pleasant accumulation of fat and
soft, flabby muscles. His lack of
condition will make it impossible
for him to get full enjoyment out
of his favorite summer sports and
he will have to work twice as hard
to get back in shape. So. don’t
wait for pleasant weather. Get out
of that rut right now! .
CLOSE _
WITH LOCAL BOARD 19
HELI'FUL TO REGISTRANT
The advantages which come to
a Selective Service registrant by
closely cooperating with the local
board were stressed today in n
statement by General J. Watt
Page, State Director jot Selective
Service. ♦
In outlining a few of the most
important things for the regia-
ant to remember in his contact
ith his local board, General Page
pointed out that the registrant’s
full cooperation not only speeds
up the machinery of the Selective
-Service System, but directly bene-
fits the registrant in a number of
definite and. concrete ways.
“The importance or the regis-
trant keeping in touch with his
local board and immediately noti-
fying it when he changes his ad-
dress and moves from one place
to another cannot be exaggerat-
ed," General Page declared. “The
reason for this is obvious. The
registrant who fails in this vio-
lates the law, places himself in
needless jeopardy, does himself an
injustice and causer the local
board all kinds of needless
trouble.”
The State Director also empha-
sized the fact that registrants can
save themselves—and their board
much grief by exercising great
care in filling out the question-
naire for his classification.
“Every local board has an Advis-
ory Board," he said, “and the
registrant who is in doubt as to
how to answer any given question
should consult this board and fol-
low its instructions. That’s what
the Advisory Board is for. And
to advise him on any other puz-
zling matter, also.”
“The registrant who believes
he has been placed in the wrong
clasisflcation and wants to make
an appeal has at his service the
Gorvemment Appeal Agent at-
tached to his local board. (The
Government Appeal Agent for
Freestone County is Mr. Bowlen
Bond, Fairfield, Texas.) This Gov-
ernment Appeal Agent is charged
With the duty of protecting the
interests of the registrant, as well
as those of the Government, and
to assist and advise him as to the
procedure in making an appeal."
The State Director compliment-
ed the local .boards of the State
for their understanding and broad
sympathy iri dealing with individ-
ual cases.
“The registrants appreciate it,
too," he added, “as witness cor-
respondence and oral comment
from them. We don’t want any
registrant to forget that the local
board is his friend and that co-
operation works both ways. It
makes things much easier for
everyone."

So this is March. It does beat
all what a calendar can do. The
weather is just as bad and cold
as ever—but everyone 1s going
around feeling like spring is here
anyway. And ther clothes—it’s
enough to freeze a person to
death just to look at these new
creations. Usually we long to be
in Florida or California where it
in warm—but this year, from all
we can heap—one doesn’t get tan-
ned, he gets parboiled; so much
water, you know.

If you are one of the old school
who remembers Gary Cooper and
Helpn Hayes in “A Farewell to
Arms," and like it, rush around
to the library and get the book.
When we read anything that
Ernest Hemingway writes we
honestly feel too unimportant to
even say it is wonderful. After
all, who are we to walk up to a
deity and tell him he is a good
kid?

Incidentally, if Hollywood casts
Betty Fields for “For Whom the
Bells Toll" we are going to quit
motion picture going for good.
Especially after what they did to
us at the Academy dinner. But
one thing we are thankful for
about the cinema town Is that
they have revived Gary Cooper.
He is the one.

Do you like music? Then you
must hear an arrangement that
Chris Wilson has of “Gloomy
Sunday,” and by Artie Shaw. Of
course if Hub Russ sets this copy
the above will brobably turn out
to be Jimmie Lunceford’s “Red
Wagon.” But what we didn’t know
about music is that there was an-
other in town who has a true
appreciation of music like yre do.
You know, a true artiste, with a
taste for the sublime. Well, we
both found it the other night
when we heard “Indian Love
Call.’’ Oh, throbbin’. Charlie, »hat
happened to that song, anyhow?
Heap ugh?

Everyone rushed off to Fort
Worth last week-end to the Fat
Stock Show. Sure do wish we had
seen it. All we can hope'is that
they brought home some ideas for
a rodeo. And by the way—when
are we going to have a rodeo ?
It’s pretty cold yet, but when the
weather gets gpod we want to
be right there.

Did you hear Bingston C. sing
“Mad at the Moon” the other

All ou^as Connie B. would say.
You know how a paper clip
looks, don’t you? Have you ever
tried to draw one—free hand? It
will surprise you. That fs so odd
about people, they know less
about the simplest little things
than they do about the big, com-
plex things. We knew a man once
who was painting a picture of a
landscape, from memory, and he
was getting every detail correct
from all appearances. He remem-
bered the exact shape of a moun-
tain, the curve of a rock wall, the
placement of the trees in the
scene; but when he started to
paint a horse in the foreground,
he had to find a real horse to use
as a model, because he couldn’t
remember how a horse looked.
