often a problem especially
during periods of extended

supplement 800 pounds of
ground grain sorghum 250
pounds of feed grade Magox
(Magnesium oxide) and 150
pounds of molasses. The cattle
must consume about 1-2 pounds
per head per day in order to get
the required 2 ounces of Mag-
nesium oxide says Dr. James
Armstrong Extension Veterin-
inarian of Texas A & M University.
Oliver plans to start feeding
the Magnesium mixture well in
advances of anticipated trouble.
He thinks the treatment can be
more effective when the Mag-
nesium oxide is fed before any
cattle become sick due to grass
tetany.
A Public Relation Conference
for Poultry Fieldmen is sched
uled for December 13 7:30

Texas Power & Light Company
Temple says Dr. Jim Witcher
chairman of the County Poultry
Fieldmen toward improving re-
lations between the poultry gro
wers and the parentcompany.
Warming the cattle-up for
the coming winter - this is the
purpose of the range cube feed-
ing which H. S. Miller of Eddy
is doing now. He peffers to
start feeding .the cattle early
rather than vdii until they get
down in condition. Cattle res-
pond to the early feeding which
helps to carry them through
the cold days ahead says Mil-
ler. He is feeding about 2 pounds
of range cubes per cow every
third day. -As the grasawgcta
shorter and the weather more
severe he increases the amount
of feed. Condition of the animal
is used to determine the amount
of cubes. During periods of bad
weather Miller may feed as
much as 3 pounds of cubes per
animal per day. He perfers an
all vegetable protein range cube
over those which have urea as
a source of part of the protein.
Charles Hohle of 'Moffat is
getting excellent growth on his
Elbon rye which has been fer-
t ized with 75-40-20. Earlv
planting' during the later part"
of September coupled with
good fertility is producing de-
sired results.
Vetch is normally sowed with
the Elbon rye which provides
a lot of grazing and bives pro-
tection against grass tetany.
However he' plans a weed con
trol spraying on the field this
year so the vetch has been left
out of the mixture.
Use Care And
Common Sense In
Toy Selection
SANTA'S SUCCESS SE-
CRET If St. Nicholas or
Kris Kringle was as good as
legend supposes his success
was based on care and com-
mon sense. Today's shoppers
could take a hint from him.
There is a need for careful
consideration in shinning for
Christmas toys. Solectintr nlnyiment. Pre-schoolers for
materials for children requires ample noted activities to
years of age. Nor should toys
be too restrictive. Instead
they should stimulate imagi-
nation and make-believe en-
courage quiet play or vigorous
body activity and allow for
playing alone and in group
activity. Pets and toy garden-
ing equipment fit this cate-
gory. The toy also needs to fit
the child's stage. of develop-
ment. Althdugh toys are usu-
ally marked with an age
range this can vary with the
individual child s develop-
ex-de-
other skills. Toys are instru-
mental in role playing an
important part of the child's
development which helps him
identify with his parents. Be-
cause of this puppets dolls
dress-up clothes and house-
keeping kits are popular. Role
playing is especially impor
tant for boys who need to
identify with irien and their
occupations. Often the son is
unaware of just what his fa-
ther's job is. Therefore it's
sometimes difficult for him to
identify with his father except
through role-playing toys
such as fireman policeman
