Area 4-Her
Contestant
At Houston
Johnny Richey. Reklaw 4-H
Club member will be a contest-
ant in the calí scramble at the
Houston Livestock Show and Ro-
deo on February 23, 1964, at the
6:30 p.m. performance. He will
see "America's wildest Rodeo"
as a guest oí the show at this
performance.
The Houston show's calf scram-
ble will again qualify as the
"world's greatest" when the
first of a series of 19 contests
lakes place in the Sam Hous-
ton Coliseum on February 19.
When the Houston show held
its first scramble in 1942. 24 cal-
ves were awarded. It was not
dreamed that the project would
íesult in putting some 4000 boys
into the cattle business in the
next 22 years.
In 1ÍM4, 112 boys scrambeldi
for 56 calves in 5 contests. Each
year the calf scramble activities
increase, and more and more
sponsors stepped forward.
The Calf Scramble Contests
became so popular with the rodeo
audiences that for the past fif-
teen years, there has been ai
contest included as an event in j
each of the 19 rodeo performan-
ces.
During the course of ont sea-i
son. four hundred boys now J
scramble for 200 calves. Half of j
the calf certificates are given
to boys interested in dairy cat-
tle and the other half to those
who prefer beef cattle.
When the calf scramble con-
testant wins, his work has just
begun. With his cash certificate
he purchases the best animal he
can find. He must then care for
the calf, furnish monthly rec-
ords to the Houston Livestock
Show and his sponsor, and re-
turn his animal to the show the
next year.
As a result of the Calf Scram-
ble contests, nearly a million and
a half dollars in livestock,
cash and prizes have been put
into the hands of Texas youth,
giving them a substantial start
in business.
Dates for the Houston show
are February 19 through March
1. It will open with the tradi-
tional downtown parade begin-
ning at 10 a.m.

Catfish Like Sardines
•Here's a quick way to chum
some catfish to your bait. Buv
a can of cheap sardines or all-
fish cat food and jab holes
through the can with an ice pick
or a knife blade. Then drop the
can in the water, weighting it
with a large sinker or 6tone. Fish
are attracted by the aroma from
the leakage from the can. If you
put your baited hook nearby,
you're in business.
