The weather has turned
colder the past 24 hours,,
and a beautiful snow was
falling Monday morning,
but it didn’t last long. By
the time the ground was
covered over the snow
stopped and soon the last
flakes were melted away.
Everyone is reminded
that dur Community Sup -
per will be Saturday night
of next week. It will be our
first one of this year and
we hope it will* get off to a
good start. To do so, we
urge everyone to plan now
to be on hand to enjoy a
good supper and visitation
together. Those on the
supper committee are
Sterling and June Walker,
Raymond and Lucille
Cross, Lillian Brown, Del-

GENETIC MATCH-MAKING
Animal husbandry is
hardly new to science. For
years, domesticated
animals have been crossed
with compatible species to
produce certain desired
characteristics in a hybrid.
The mule is a prime
example. Half horse, half
ass, it has a working life
almost twice that of a hor-
se. It pulls more weight in
proportion to its own size,
needs shoeing less frequen-
tly and works well in large
teams. The list of positive
traits goes on.
Historians document that
most of the world’s
livestock was domesticated
in temperate climates of
Europe and Asia Minor
around the period of the
Stone Age.
“When you take these
animals outside of their
natural habitat, they
generally do not do well,”
arid, desert conditions.
One of the trade-offs in
the hybridization is that
many of the males are bom
sterile. Females are
generally fertile, however,
and can be mated with
stock of either of the paren-
ts or v&th a third species.
Artificial insemination
has long been practiced in
awimal husbandry,
although new technology
has opened the door for ex-
citing new programs. In-
vitro fertilization (test tube
animals), embryo tran-
sfers and better methods
for storing and shipping
embryos are but a few of
the new break-throughs.
But even in the midst of
new technology, the basic
laws of Nature are still
respected. The two parents
must have the same num-
ber of chromosomes and
their shapes must bd
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Aycock

stock show and won Re-
serve Grand Champion in
the frail division. The Ay-
cocks run Sembra cattle on
their ranch here. Remem-
ber a couple of weeks ago

Antonio stock show and
won Grand Champion in
the heifer division and first

division. Congratulations!!
Mrs. Patsy Lee of San
Angelo was here Saturday
visiting her mother, Mrs.

in-law, Mrs. Ester Knigh-
ten and Mr. and Mrs. Bill

All went to church Sunday
morning and Angela was
baptized by the deacon,
Bro. 0. J. Johnson.
Mrs. Glyn Downey
keeps the official rainfall
measurement and reported
.85 for January and .99 for
February, total to date
1.84. Isn't much is it? But
we are a thankful bunch
around here and are thank-
ful for every little drop.
Mrs. Mary Griffin was
here three weeks visiting
her mother, Mrs. L.H.
Griffith and her sister and
brother-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Glyn Downey and lots
of friends.

Hence One of the major
reasons fdr developing
hybrid species is to create
animals which can survive
in different climate
regions.
As an example, domestic
cattle, when crossed with a
banteng, produce a fast-
growing hybrid which is
well-suited to hot weather.
Aoudad hybrids produce
offspring which thrive in
Yakows, a cross between $
yaks and cows, have been
around for years. And of
course there are beefalos
(buffalo and cow) and
zonkeys (zebras and
donkeys). With new
technology and the need to
utilize barren parts of the
world, we may soon take
some of these hybrids for
granted-like the mule.
