assist in rendering services to
farmers and ranchers. For the
last nine years he has man-
aged the famous Pecan Acres
ranch at Simonton, owned by
Vernon-Frost of Houston. Dur-

much knowledge of the cattle
business from the standpoint
of breeding. feeding, and mar-
keting. His advice regarding
such matters will be free of
