$Cowbelles urge gift
p r~ **
South Texas Cowbelle
members in the Medina
County area have joined
with Governor Mark White
and the Texas Cow Belles in
urging Texans to complete
their Christmas shopping by
..I giving a special part of
.rf Texas: Texas Beef,
r Not only does beef make a
r unique, thoughtful, and use-
^ ful gift, say members Bea
c; Pope and Hazel Graff, but it
r: also enables the giver to
complete his shopping in
record time: when they
V purchase Cow Belles Beef
Gift Certificates.
The certificates are
actually cashier’s checks
which are redeemable
throughout the United
States for the purchase of
good, nutritious beef at
grocery stores, packing and
processing plants, meat
markets, and restaurants.
They are available in any
denomination and may not
be used for products other
than beef, or turned into
cash.
Governor White empha-
sized his enthusiasm for this
special gift with a proclama-
tion in October, honoring
‘Texas Beef for Christmas”
week and commending the
work done to support the
cattle industry by Texas
CowBeues, i exas and South-
west Cattle Raisers Assn.,
and Texas Cattle Feeders
Assn.
Texas CowBelles, an or-
ganization which promotes
the beef industry, offers
these certificates through-
out the year, but they are
most handy during the
hurried Christmas season.
All a shopper has to do is go
to the teller’s window and, in
less time than it takes to
wrap a package, his shop-
ping is done.
Beef Certificates are avail-
able in Hondo at Community
National Bank and Hondo
National Bank.

Hightower arranges transport
of federal corn to West Texas
A special referral service
of the Department of Agri-
culture to help drought-
stricken West Texas
ranchers arrange for low-
cost transportation and pro-
cessing of the federally-
owned com that is stored in
the Panhandle has been
announced by Texas Api-
culture Commissioner Jim
Hightower.
“Our ranchers have been
waiting a mighty long time
for the Feds to turn this
stuff loose,” Hightower said,
“and we don’t want them to
have to waste even more
time trying to figure out how
to get the com shipped and
processed into livestock

EASY SHOPPING... Texas
CowBelles urge Texans to
complete their Christmas
shopping by giving a special
part of Texas: Texas Beef.
South Texas CowBelles

and Hazel Graff (right),
along with Community Bank
ProcMoni Herb Fulcher,
agree that giving a beef gift
certificate is not only an easy
way to shop for the person
who has everything, but is
also a most welcome gift.
The certificates are available
at Community National
Bank and Hondo National
Bank.

miles northwest of Lytle.
Young people can com-
plement their school curri-
culum with 4-H as an extra
curricular activity.
4-H Club activities with
more than 50 project areas
offer opportunities for
applying what is learned in
school, says Preston Sides,
Extension 4-H specialist
with the Texas Agricultural
Service, Texas A&M Uni-
versity System.
Writing a theme or
making a speech, for ex-
ample, are easier when they
are related to a young
person’s pet, camera or
clothing project, says the
specialist. Other 4-H activi-
ties, such as tours and
workshops, also offer in-
teresting learning experi-
ences.
4-H is based on “learning
by doing”, and 4-H’ers also
learn by teaching others
Making exhibits, demon-
strations and visual pre-
sentations about 4-H pro-
jects are proven learning
methods that 4-H uses,
Sides says. Tests in 4-H
come in the form of
contests, but there are no
grades.
Instead, 4-H’ers are re-
warded for their effort with
a variety of awards, includ-
ing ribbons, trophies, trips
and cash provided by
numerous donors.
Through 4-H, youth be-
tween the ages of 9 and 19
are exposed to valuable
learning experiences that
can complement their
school tasks and have
lifelong impact as well: To
get involved in this “action-
oriented” program, contact
the county Extension
office, says Sides.
stration insisted that provi-
sions for transportation be
deleted from Sen. Bentsen’s
legislation forcing them to
release the com, so a lot of
our ranchers were still going
to be left holding an empty
sack while the com sat 200
miles away.
‘To give them a helping
hand, our Department will
provide those ranchers with
a complete list of options for
hauling and processing the
com, assuring a competitive
market for the rancher’s
business.” Hightower said.
“If the federal govern-
ment allows the proper
discounts for damaged com,
the ranchers ought to be
able to buy it for about $1.80
per bushel or less, compared
with a market price of about
$3.10. But they will still have
to move it out to the ranch in
a form they can use, and this
added expense could put it
out of reach for many of
these hard-pressed
ranchers For sheep, the
com won’t have to be
processed, but it will have to
be bagged for storage
almost all of the cattle
ranchers will have to have
the com mixed with hay or
processed into range cubes
All of that is going to add to
the cost, and it will take a
concerted effort to keep
shipping and processing
prices as low as possible, so
these financially-strapped
ranchers can make full use of
the program."
