When we got to camp, we picked
nut our rooms that we wanted,
then somebody came around and
took our room number.- and the per-
sons who were in that room. That

divided into four different groups.
The younger boys and girls were
in a separate group from the older

TOUR OF THE HEARD
HEREFORD RANCH
Ry Jeanie Mullins
One of the many interesting
educational advantages we took
while at District 4-H Camp was
a tour of Mr Claude Heard's Here-
ford Raich
Around 10 A. M. Wednesday
the boys and girls who wished
oiled into ) uses, cars and trufi%s.
We then rode three miles from
our ci>mp to Mr. Heard's Ranch.
Many gn assured us that there
were many cattle around and tir-
ed to drive slowly. Then as we
got furth into the ranch ground'
we saw some of the finest hrr^
fords I have ever seen.
We stopped at Mr. Heard' of-
fice where we were told to go t<>
the barn. There some of the fine
animals were shown to us.
When we arrived at the barn
we sat down on the lovely grass
to see some of Mr. Heard's fine
stock arid listen to his foreman
and Mr. Jack Forganon, county
agent of Bee County, tell about
♦hem. The foreman brought out a
five year old herd bull that had
l>een bred and raised on the
ranch. The bull's name was Hazlet-
''"•1 and weighed HMI0 pounds. This
bull was registered hereford. He

was one of the finest bulls I have
ever seen. Three sons of this bull
were shown. They were fine and
beautiful, all of them registered
stock. Then two heifers, descend-
ants' of Mr. Heard's finest bull,
were shown. They were not u m <1
to being led with a rope and hal-
ter so they did not follow. The
foreman then told i s that 4-H club
boys could not buy these calves
because they were all contracted
to fe.'dt re in the corn belt. Tlu-n
he told us to follow him and we
could have all the cokes we want-
ed. Even if we had never been led
before we followed without a
word.
After we drank our cokes we
got aboard our busses and drove
out to see Mr. Heard's prize $">0.-
000 bull in a pen. On our way
our driver told us about the ran h
before Mr. Heard took over. He
showed us some of the brush that
once completely covered the
grounds. Mr. Heard had the brush
cut down with bulldozers and
graders. Next a stump cutter cut
the stumps up for fire wood. The
grass was then mowed, and they
had it under control. It is now
very pretty and well-kept. Tins
was done at a cost of $7.50 per
acre There are about It?,500 aires
in the ranch.
After riding a while we came to
a pen where we saw the most
beautiful bull I have ever .seen.
He was a six year <>ld, weighed
2000 lbs. and his name was Beau
Zento T-.'ltith. He was purchased
from the Flat Top Ranch at Wal-
nut Spring-. He was very gentle.
We petted him and all of u- got
very small samples of hi.- hair.
Poor bull, I know he wa glad
when we left.
We appreciated the tour of Mr
Heard's ranch. The only person 1
still want to see and be introduced
to is Mr. Heard. He. at the time
we were there, was on a business
trip to San Antonio. I know he
must l>e a great man and a good
manager to have such a fine
ranch. I wish I could have thanked
him for the fine time I had.
There were about 200 boys and
girls there to enjoy the many In-
teresting things. Those from flas-
trop county who visited tne ran-h
were Joe 1 <ee Rathman, Reuben
Rother, Morris Kastner, \ If red
Dube, Jr., LaVone Kastner, Ivy
Ann Kastner. Jewel Gib-on, Jeanie
Mullins and the home demonstra-
tion agent. Mis.- Lena St urge-
of grass were arranged on tattles
for us to look over. Before we
identified the grass we were told
which grass was of value and
which grass was not valuable. It
was also pointed out to us how to
identify the different specimens.
We studied the grasses for sever-
al minutes before we took a test
on ten different specimens which
were also arranged on a table.
The winners were announced a
the assembly oil W«dnesday. The
first place winner in the girls'
division was Ivy Ann Kastner
from McDade with a score of 90.
She received an award of $2.50
Jeanie Mullins also of McDade
tied for second place with a score
of S. She received $1.25 in prize
money.

It is the expression of each t H
club boy and grl who attended

and ea>'h boy and g r! is grateful
to ail who made it poaaible for
them to attend.
As there are many accidents
that can happen on a farm from
carelessness, one should put away
all tools such as pitch forks, hoes
and beware of the farm machinery.
Because one has learned to ■•rive
the tractor, don't forget to be on
your guard. Don't get over-con-
f dt.it that you drop off embank-
ments, and somt times too much
haste can cause accidents.
Then there is dinger of getting
one's clothes caught in machinery
which can canst fatal accd • * ,
take precaution there
In the home too one should a!
ways be careful of matches and
fuel arid avoid climbing on chairs
t<> work One should watch damp
flooi and wet hand- in using
lectrical appliances. Watch out
for itig-; they may trip you! Hot
vater and medicine should be kept
ii-t of reach of children.
There should be fire equipment
in a certain place and each person
should be trained how to ti.-e them
in case of fire.
