Of real concern to farmers
and ranchers are fehds which
supply low cost protein and low
cost energy, says Uel D. Thomp-
son, Extension animal husband-
man, Texas A. and M. Univer-
sity. Grain is considered the
cheapest energy source and pro-
tein supplements should be
chosen on the basis of their pro-
tein content and cost. A mixture
of different sources of vegetable
protein has little to offer since
cattle make their own amino
acids.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Finn
and girls spent Sunday in Aus-
tin visiting with Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Miller.
Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Stewart
of Dallas and Mrs. E. F. Stovall

George Kostohryz of Fort Worth

tended the University of Texas

home of Mr. and Mrs. Anton
Leuschner were her mother and
father. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weis-
singer of Elm Mott, Also Mr.

I gene Leuschner and Phyllis May

Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Poteet of
Cleburne spent the weekend

teet.
Before purchasing a supple-
mental protein feed, note the
price per 100 pounds, percentage
of crude protein supplied by the
oil seed protein meals, percent-
age of equivalent protein from
non-protein nitrogen, crude fat
and crude fiber content. Higher
fiber content feeds should be
cheaper.
A protein supplement Is
bought primarily for its pro-
tein. Thompson points out. Cost
of this protein may be deter-
mined on a pey pound basis by
dividing the price per 100
pounds by the per cent protein.
Thus, range cubes with 20 per
cent crude protein at $3 per
100 pounds would supply crude
protein at a cost of 15 cents per
pound.

School Dropouts
Reducing the number of
school dropouts is a big job, yet
it can be accomplished by ade-
quate programs of guidance,
training and placement, says
Patsy Reynolds, Extension Serv-
ice specialist in family life edu-
cation.
Great Britain has only one-
fifth the unemployment rate for
15 to 19-year-olds as the United
States has. And in this nation,
skilled, mobile, educated work-
ers who are qualified for new
fields of work are in demand,
the specialist says.
Planners for rural youth must
consider that occupations
change as new jobs develop and
old ones disappear. These re-
sulting new occupations are
more complex.
Three ways which might help
change the levels achieved by
young people, Miss Reynolds
says, are:
1. Improve schools, particu-
larly the guidance services, to
help reduce the effects of geo-
graphic isolation.
2. Work to motivate able
youth who hold low occupation-
al and educational goals.
3. Help rural youth and their
parents face the facts of farm
and industrial opportunity.
Herd protein supplemental
feeding should be based at .8
pound of digestible protein daily
per cow. Therefore, it would
take four pounds of a 20 per-
cent product such as range
cubes to satisfy this require*-
ment.
Of course, methods of feeding
and individual performance de-
termine the form of supplement
to be used — meal, cake, cubes,
crumbles or pellets. Self-limit-
ing mixtures of protein min-
eral blocks, Urea-molasses or
other liquid supplements, and
combinations of salt and cotton-
seed meal may affect savings in
labor and provide more even
herd consumption. However, the
unit cost of protein may be
high, Thompson indicates.
Mixtures of salt and cotton-
seed meal have had extensive
use, tlie percentage of salt vary-
ing from 15 to 50 per cent of the
mixture. Ground sorghum grain
or ground ear corn is often mix-
ed wiith salt and cottonseed
meal and fed free choice. Com-
mon mixtures contain about
one-third of each. Water should
always be available nearby
when these amounts of salt are
feci.
Selection of a supplement
may also be influenced by the
amount and quality of rough-
ages available. Cattle perform-
ance is directly related to for-
age quality and quantity, ex-
plains Thompson. Where for-
age is limited, a feed including
both protein meal and grain
may be more useful than a
straight protein supplement.
A vitamin A fortified supple-
ment should be fed where pro-
duction is likely to be affected
by Vitamin A deficiency. Adding
synthetic Vitamin A to mineral
mixtures or high salt feed mix-
tures and leaving it exposed to
sunlight, air and heat is not
advisable.
Aside from cottonseed meal or
cake and Urea-molasses, other
high protein supplements in-
clude gar meal, corn gluten
meal, milo gluten meal, peanut
meal, sesame meal, sorghurn glu-
ten meal, soybean meal and
tankage.
2. Provide more officers and
pay them better,
3. Teach personal knowledge
of confinement to juvenile of-
fenders.
4. Teach and gain increased
parental responsibility.
5. Make parents financially
l'espcnsible lor damage done by
juveniles.
6. Place responsibility on ju-
veniles themselves through such
programs as the Texas Youth
Conference.
7. Continue and impove the
annual Attorney General’s Law
Enforcement Conference.
8. Step up local community
“crime drives.”
Palmetto Dam Project
Edna and Ganado area people
packed a Water Commission
hearing room when Bureau of
Reclamation represen t a t i v e s
and the Jackson County Flood
Control District took up con-
sideration of the proposed Pal-
metto Bend Dam Project.
Mbst of those attending the
hearing favored construction of
the 15-mile dam which would
cost $48,150,000 to build. How-
ever, Commission Chairman Joe
Carter said no written protests
had been received.
Harry Burleigh, area planning
engineer of the Bureau of Rec-
lamation, outlined the two-part
project. It will begin with con-
struction of a dam across Navi-
dad River to form a reservoir
with a capacity of 192,000 acre
feet and a conservation level of
44 feet.
Part two of the plan would
extend the dam across nearby
Post Oak Branch and Lavaca
River.
Burleigh said that the first
phase, if authorized by the Com-
mission, plus the Federal House
and Senate and the people of
Jackson County, would satsify
Jackson County's water needs
for about 19 years.
Approval of both phases at
one time would result in sav-
ings. Burleigh stated. But Com-
missioner Otho Dent was re-
luctant to consider part two im-
mediately.
“If phase one is an entity un-
to itself and you don’t intend to
do anything with phase two for
15-20 years, I’m not in favor of
the state surrendering its rights
to control of water in the second
watershed at this time,” Dent
said.
The Commission, which will
write the state’s comments on
the project, took the matter un-
der advisement after six hours
of discussion.
Oil Production Held
Texas Railroad Commission
held Texas oil production to 27.9
per cent of potential.
New order will peg October
production at 2,868,252 barrels a
day, compared with an October,
1963, figure of 2,878,206 under a
28 per cent order.
Mental Retardation Plan
Texas’ biggest effort to ini-
tiate a plan reaching into many
communities for combating
mental retardation is underway.
Planning work was authorized
by a special committee appoint-
ed by Governor Connally.
Goal of the committee is to
measure the size of the problem,
pinpoint available services and
accurately forecast needs to
treat and prevent retardation.
A long-range study is planned
under federal grants.
Mental retardation afflicts
300,000 Texans. Over 8,000 men-
tally retarded children are born
each year, the committee was
told.
Lubbock has been chosen as
the site for a, new school for
the mentally retarded. Esti-
mated cost is $2,500,000. The
school will serve an 84-county
west Texas area.
Grazing Of
Diverted Acres
Farmers who have diverted
acres under the 1864 Feed Grain
and Wheat Diversion Programs
may begin grazing these acres
on October 1, 1964.
There will be no charge for
grazing only after October 1st.
If hay is cut from the land
there will be a charge lor it.
This Hoes not apply to Soil
Bank Conservation Reserve con-
tracts. No grazing or harvesting
of hay on this land without a
payment for doing so.

THAT’S WHAT YOU GET PLENTY OF WITH YOUR TELEPHONE
Your phone makes it so easy to get things done. Calls to order things, to find
out things, to tell the news, to organize activities—or you name it.
The busier you are, the more helpful the telephone is. Day in and day out, your
phone is an important part of your busy life.
When you stop to think about it, is there really anything else that helps you so
much for so little? Or that is of so much personal value?
