ALLAN YOAST
Writes For
Magazine
Stephenville: Allan Yoast,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Yoast of Cedar Creek and a
Tarleton State University
junior animal production
major, has written an article
which will appear in "Feedlot
Management" magazine.
Yoast wrote the article as
part of the course require-
ments for 3023 Agricultural
Journalism, taught by Eric
Larson, instructor of journa-
lism. All members of the
class were assigned to write
an article for publication
consideration in a profes-
sional journal or magazine.
Yoast decided u write an
article about a man who
owned a computerized bull
feeding system near Cedar
Creek. The feedlot utilizes a
computer which measures
the exact amount of feed that
each bull eats. The bulls are
then weighed periodically
and feed conversion and
efficiency iacalculatod.
Yoast sent off query letters
to four major magazines at
the beginning of the sem-
ester. He received replies
from three of them, each
having already covered the
topic from another stand-
point. This week he heard
from "Feedlot Management",
stating that they would use
his article in conjunction with
a special bull fed feeding
section in a future issue.
They indicated that a check
for $60, for the article, would
be forthcoming in December.
Yoast is also a member of
Alpha Zeta and Vice Presi-
dent of the Agronomy Club.
He attended Tarleton on an
L.G. Rich Scholarship last
year and is attending on a C.
J. "Red" Davidson Scholar-
ship this year.

Snow In
November?
Never!
Many people in the Bastrop
area stirred drowsily at
"getting up" time Sunday
morning, then realizing that
it was Sunday, turned over
for another nap. Few realized
that the car they left out the
night before was "snowed in"
with a heavy coating of sleet
and snow, or few were
vaguely aware that the
heater had run almost
steadily all night because the
roof of the house was covered
with several layers of
freezing rain, snow and sleet
—or that the high wind was
still blowing sleet across the
yard well after daylight.
In this part of the country,
folks generally know that, in
spite of occasional forecasts,
we never have snow before
January or February, if we
have any in the entire winter,
which is more usual. We have
lived through more holiday
seasons than we like to
admit, and we have seen only
one white Christmas in this

A public hearing will be

wWe also discussed the
proposed sewer line in the
area west and south of the
dty limits, and were inform-
ed by Cox that no one had
contacted the City Office in
reference to annexation as
they had promised to do at
the last Council meeting, so
we really don't know where
this project stands. Cox gave
us the estimated cost of

Mr. Sharp.
"The manager brought the

young men with high school

explained.
According to Cox, "The
City of Bastrop has been
fortunate to retain the
employees we have in the
face of constant opposition
from a lot of people, and you
have been good to them in al
ways. The pay is better than
any comparable dty around
us. the fringe benefits are
better than in any compar-
able dty around us, and they
have a more relaxed attitude
of
dty around us and
programs. Therefore
need to consider at this time
is the addition of some young
men to be trained for the
operation ten to twelve years
from now, it takes this long
for s man to learn his way
around in such fields as
municipal operation. My
concern is not really today,
but to be ready for the time
when age starts catching up
on Billy Evans, O.B. Johnson,
Rsymond Stark, Chesley

in the technical part of our
operation.''
After a general discussion
of these and related problems
