Drouth ts the big subject
In Cherokee County these
days. It Is a serious pro-
blem. formally clover gr-
owth is at its peak at this
«tme of year, but very little
grazing is being realized this
year because of dry condit-
ions a Cecil Goodman of We Us
told me last week that he has
several farm ponds that ordi-
narily are full at this time
of year that are nearly dry
at the present time. Bermuda-
grass is coming out, but grow-
th is very slow. Generally
speaking pastures are very
short and many producers are
out of hay. Most producers
figured they would have plen-
ty of clover and grass coming
on by now and did not plan
hay feeding this late. Those
that still have hay to feed
are among the fortunate.
Planting coastal bermuda un-
der current condition* is ex-
tremely risky. Several that
have planted grass during the
last few weeks have expressed
concern that they may have
already lost many of the
sprig* that were planted.
•••
Short grazing conditions
coupled with the active bud-
ding and leafing of oak brush
sets up a situation favorable
to oak-bud poisoning. We us-
ually have a few case* re-
ported each year, but the
danger i« much greater under
conditions we have this
spring.
The oak buds, small leaves
and stem* are palatable and
poisonous, accordingtoTexas
A &M University Fxtension
Range Specialist, Daniel
Rodgers. As the leaves ma-
'ture they become less pala-
table, and animals usually
stop eating them by the time
they are 3/4 grown. Accord-
ing to Mr. Rodgers, the signs
of oak poisoning in cattle
are emaciation or weight loss,
edema, either constipation or
Mliarrhea, and mucus and/or
Mood in the feces. If you
^ave canle in pastures
fhat have oak brush, you may
wa t to watch for this pro-
blem; or better yet, you may
want to move canle to pas-
tures that do not contain oak
brush if possible.

Attention, Swine Producers'
The Texas Animal Health
Commission has ordered a
Statewide quarantine or. mo-
vement or sale for movement
of all hog= except for slaugh-
ter purpose*. The quarantine
became effective March 29
and will remain in force
and effect for sixty (60) Jays.
Producers were asking about
this last *>ee*. but at the
time I did not have definite
information concerning the
quarantine.
Accordn.g to Randall
Grooms, Extension Livestock
Specialist from the Extension
Center at Overton, hogs sold
for slaughter can move dire-
ctly to market or to a packing
house without a permit. All
swine going to -pecial feeder
or breeder sales, going to
show*, or going from one farm
to another must have a permit.
Any hogs being sold or her than
for slaughter must be in-
spected and individually id-
entified at tf)e farm of origin
within 7 days prior to move-
ment. Inspection and tagging
may be done by any certified
veterinarian or a representa-
tive of the Texas Animal
Health Commission. Trie
inspectors will also issue
movement permits.
• ••
Here's a reminder also to
swine producer*. The Annual
Swine Shortcourse will be held
April 5 and 6 at Texas A&M
University. Activities will be
in the Memorial Student
Center , and registration will
start at 8:00 a.m. Monday,
April 5.

TRANSPORTATION AND PEOPLE
The economic vitality of the nation center
around the fluid flow of | eople.
At present realK~ efficient systems of people
transportation are sadly lacking. With urban mass
transit in a state €>f decay, commuters in even sec-
tion of the country suffer unnecessary difficulties
in going to and from *ork. People are becoming
hemmed in by a lack of suitable transportation.
It appears that smaller city mas« transit systems
are in the greatest danger of complete collapse. Of
the 258 systems abandoned in the past 15 years. 206
served communities of fewer than 50.000 popula-
The new I'rban Mass Transportation Assistance Rusk
Act commits $10 billion in grants and loans to state
and local governments over a twelve year period.
This should encouragc quick community action to
start the long process of revitalizing America's pub-
lic transportation systems.
All men are bom free and
equal, but most of them get
married. Last week Lion
Ue Daniel arranged for the
program. Mr. Clarence Fa-
bi*h. Sales Representative for
Albers Milling Co. a division
of Carnation Company pres-
ented the program. And of
course Lion Ike asked that it
be mentione4 t^at he handle =
Carnation Products and if the
Tailrwister fidn't like it to
ust «ee him.
A film wa? presented conc-
erning Quarterhorse Racine.
The quarterhor=e originated
in an East Virginia Colony in
1665, whereby a short heavy
muscled animal would run
the quartérmile. A quarter-
horse must learn to back up
and cfianee leads just by the
touch of the rider. In the
earlier days the horse used
to work during the week and
they they wo.:ld race <r. the
weekends. Many times" a
weeks wages would ride on one
race. It was inevitable that
a matched race between the
throughbred and the quarter-
horse would take place and
this it did in 1951. Quarter-
horse racing only takes about
20 seconds to run-that means
that those doing the betting are
winning or loosing that money

AJJJIJHHURCH SUNDAY
FLIGHT... of ?aith
The faith of a boy that a slender string shall hold high his kite — that when
he extends a little more string his kite will go a little higher —shows that this
flight is a flight of faith.
As the boy has faith in the string so must we have
faith in our Lord, and the more faith we extend, the
higher and more abundant our lives will be. It is
written in Romans 1:17. "The iust shall live bv
faith." Attend Church this Sunday and
receive inspiration from those who
share your faith, that you may. as the
Apostle Paul >aid, "lie comforted together h.v the
mutual faith of vou both."
