CAPSULE COMMENTS

BIG NEWS MEAN BIG
LAMBS — Weight of ewes as
learlings just before first breed
ing is a fairly accurate basis for
forecasting birth and weaning
weights of lambs they will pro-
duce, USDA work shows.
Heavier ewes, regardless of
breed or wool type, produce
USDA work shows.
Heavier ewes, regardless of
breed or wool type, produce heav
ier, faster growing lambs than
lightweight ewes in tests by ani-
mal husbandman Jack L. Ruttle
at the Southwestern Range and
Sheep Breeding Station, Fort
Wingate, N. Mex.
This finding makes possible
quicker profits from breeding
flocks by enabling earlier culling
of animals not likely to have lar
ge lambs. Bigger 3wes offer a-
nother dividend, . . . they pro-
vide more skin area for grow-
ing wools.
The lightest of the four
I groups of ewes in the 4-year test
averaged 65.4 lbs as yearlings
and the heaviest, 92.7 pounds.
This 27.3 lbs advantage in body
Weight for the heavier ewes re-
sulted in lambs averaging 1.29
pounds heavier at birth and a-
bout 19:5 lbs heavier at wean-
ing.
Weaning weights of lambs
produced bw the heaviest yearl-
ing ewes averaged 5.02 lbs as
compared with lambs produced
by the lightetst group. The
greater difference shown in wea
ning weights is attributed by
the researchers partly to great-
er milk production by the larger
ewes and partly to the inherit
ed factor for greater sibe of the
lambs.

WOOL. In the third quarter
of 1958, the decline in wool con-
sumption outside the United Sta
tes was checked while consump-
tion here rose. But, thus far, the
hoped-for improvement in wool
used abroad does not seem to
have developed. Apparently, the
stimulus of low prices which has
been a decided factor in the up-
turn in wool consumption, has
been offset by the slower trend
of general business reported in a
number of foreign countries.
However, wool authorities are
optimistic over the long term
consumption and price outlook.

the school at College Station

STEER FEEDING. — Cattle
men in the High Plains of Tex-
as who feed less than 100 steers
at a time are not iike ly to get
much “extra” income for their
work.
Based on a study of 20 years
at the Big Springs Field Sta-
tion a margin of profit of at
least four cents a pound is re-
quired to give an income equal
to the average price paid for
form labor. And that doesn’t
include the risk in feeding
steers. Keep in mind this is
steers and not calves. The stu-
dies are based on feeding 100
steers for 180 days. Full details
are discussed in Misc. Publica-
tion No. 295.
Arthur Esser of the Kendalia
community was a business visi-
tor in Boerne on Monday.
Ranch Improvement Projects.
—A good many of the following
propects are applicable to our
community: Establish a sheep
chain in the county; conduct a
community wide rat control cam
paign; add equipment to the vol-
unteer fire fighting team; each
farm have soil tested; organize
a farm tour; have each farmer
DAIRY. Here are the com-
ments made by the man in char-
ge of the dairy herd at A. & M.
College. The fact that our hay
and silage feeding racks were
on runners permitted us to take
advantage of fair weather be-
tween December 1-13 and feed
the cows outside in the Bermu-
dagrass sod lots. This allowed
the shelter barn and the adjoin-
ing lots to dry and be prepared
for our “Norfther” on Decem-
ber 13. During the period the
racks were outside, the shelter
barn was open to the cows but
was used by them only two
nights.
He also said the 32 cows in
milk during November produced
662 lbs of 5%' milk per cow.
Each cow consumed 1,140 lbs of
cane silage, 219 lbs of Coastal
bermuda hay and 228 lbs of 21
percent grain ration. The herd
started grazing oats one hour
each day on December 10. The
per cent protein in grain ra-
tion was reduced to 16% when
the cows were turned on oats.
SOIL TESTS. — The A. & M.
College Laboratory, which con-
ducts soil tests from samples
sent in all over the state, tested
1316 for September ’58 and the
same, 1315, for the month of
October.
Soil testing is one of the best
methods for determining ferti-
lizer needs. If we can be of as-
sistance to you in understanding
your soil test reports and recom
mendations or in securing a soil
sample for testing, please let us
know. Certain publications on
fertilizer are available to you in
our office free of charge.
