3,686 QUAIL DISTRIBUTED
Walter Arnold, superintendent of

Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-

delivered to game wardens for dis-
tribution to landowners, and to

Taking a chance on throwing gas
on a smoldering fire, using a faulty
appliance just one more time, or
attempting to adjust power equip-
ment while the motor is running
aren't even "calculated risks." They
are just chances unnecessarily
taken.

Why so many things
besides medicine?
■ One customer laughingly tells us
we stock more items than an old-
fashioned general store. That's be-
cause our customers, thank goodness,
are pretty healthy and don't need
enough prescriptions to keep us busy.
Prescriptions are really the heart of our
business. Because of them, we're open
for the greater part of the day. Despite
the fact that many pharmacists sell
everything from books to bobby pins,
we're still professional men... always
ready when medication is needed.

Cattle Outlook For
Next Few Months
Looks Favorable
COLLEGE STATION — Cattle
prices during the last two months
have averaged well above those
of the same period a year ago, re-
veals John G. McHaney, Exten-
sion economist, Texas A&M Uni-
versity.
"With few exceptions, range and
pasture grasses are in good condi-
tion in Texas, and grazing pros-
pects through the early part of the
summer {.re excellent," he explains.
"Range feed is generally showing
good growth over the Western
range area of the United States."
This is favorable from a price
standpoint because it permits pro-
ducers to hold feeder cattle on the
range longer. This produces order-
ly marketing.
Although feeder cattle prices re-
mained low through February, they
increased in March and April. The
recent rise of feeder cattle prices
can be attributed to the increase
of fed cattle prices, strong de-
mand and a smaller seasonal sup-
ply.
McHaney says that feeder cattle
prices will likely stay above year-
earlier levels through the . rest of
the second quarter and into the
summer of 1965.

Ralph Bowers Attends
Annual Meeting Of
Agricultural Engineers
Ralph Bowers, Student Member
of Texas A. & M University, Col-
lege Station, Texas was in Athens,
Georgia, June 20-23 attending the
1965 Annual Meteting of the Amer-
ican Society o fAgricultural Engin-
eers at the University of Georgia.
Nearly 2,000 agricultural engin-
eers and specialists from through-
out the United States and as far
away as India came to the meet-
in gto exchange information and
ideas on the rapidly enlarging role
of the agricultural engineer in to-
day's scientifically-oriented world.
Original research and new de-
Bigns and concepts in the science
and art of engineering in agricul-
ture were revealed at the meeting
as agricultural engineers sought
new ways to improve agriculture
through the application of engineer-
ing fundamentals.
Fryers Are Family
Summer-Time Favorite
COLLEGE STATION — Fryers
are a summer-time favorite with
many families, since they're good
served hot or cold. Homemakers
can stretch their food dollars this
weekend by serving chicken, says
Mrs. Gwen Clyatt, Texas A&M' Uni-
versity Extension consumer mar-
keting specialist.
Egg prices also are reasonable.
Deviled eggs go well with most
other foods at home or on picnics.
Grade A large size eggs offer the
most quality and nutrition for the
money spent.
Good beef values are available if
homemakers shop carefully. Best
beef choices this week are arm and
blade pot roasts and steaks, ground
beef, rump roast and round steak.
Supplies .of fresh fruits and.
vegetables are increasing, with
many of these coming from near-
by growing areas. Best values this
week are centered around squash,
eggplant, bell peppers, hot peppers,
sweet corn, cucumbers, green on-
ions, radishes, carrots, celery, green
beans, cooking greens, cantaloupes,
watermelons, bananas and pine-
apples.
The only way to avoid accidents
is to prevent them with fore-
thought, planning ahead-—simply
using your head.
