Valley Bank Is Soon To Have Added Space

Work began this week in the Koslosky building on construc- tion which will greatly enlarge the quarters of the Matanuska Valley bank. sx
 Present plans call for the re- moval of the liquor store, now located next door to the bank, to the opposite corner of Koslosky's store, where a new entrance will be cut on the side street. The bank will be expanded to oc- cupy all space left vacant by the liquor store.
 A vault and safety deposit boxes will be installed in space to the rear of what is now the liquor store. A new door will be cut in the center of the expand ed quarters, and the present wall between the bank and liquor store will be torn away.
 Banker Jack Maze said he had no idea when the construction will be completed, but banking business will continue as usual in spite of swinging hammers and wall-removal operations.

Under these wholly unnatural con-
ditions a disease known as preg-
nancy disease is likely to occur with
rather heavy losses, especially
among the ewes carrying twins.
Exercise is essential, and even
after losses from pregnancy disease
appear, enforced exercises will often
prevent further losses. 1t may be
even necessary to take the flock
down the road a mile and back
again, daily, but often the moving
of the hay and salt to some distance
from the shed will cause the sheep
to move around enough.
S. Mineral Deficiencies:
Phosphorus and iodine are the
only two minerals that are known
to be lacking in the forage for live
stock in Montana, and sheep are not
often affected by a phosphorus
shortage. But in certain well known
areas, the iodine deficiency is a
problem, for the young lambs, at
birth, may have golfers, large or
small. Most of these goitered lambs
are dead at birth, some die in an
hour or a day and a very few re-
cover.
On a ranch, or in a locality where
goiter occurs, the use of iodized salt
throughout the winter, for the ewes,
is essential, and will provide 100
percent protection.
Coyotes, dogs, billiards and acci-
dents will continue to take their toll
of sheep, and unexpected and UNI
foreseen things will happen. But a
large proportion of the losses that
cut down the profits in running a
pand or a farm flock can be prevent
ed by up-to-date management and
avoidance of the risk of loss that
certain well known practices are
certain to incur.

Cancer Of the Eye
in Beef Cattle

NO TWO CASES of canoe of the
eye in cattle are exactly alike. Some
start with a reddish lump in the cor
ner of the eye, which gradually
grows larger. Other cases start with
a redeemed growth on the eyebal
itself. Still others originate on the
eye-ld, and may not affect the eye
ball itself.
The diagnosis is not difficult. Any
abnormal growth, or lump that does
not disappear in a week or so, or any
sore or growth on the eyelid that
does not heal, in a Hereford cow,
will eventually be a cancerous
growth, spreading owe the side of
the face, frequently involving the
bones, and eventually causing the
death of the cow. There is no treat
ment except surgery. A lot of NOM
ey and time has been wasted trying
this and that solution or recon-
mended treatment.
Surgical treatment consists of the
complete removal of the eye and all
the eye structures and accessories.
The eyeball, the tear gland, and both
upper and lower eye lids must be
removed, after which the edges of
the cut skin are drawn together,
leaving a one-eyed cow, but a COW
without a lancer.
Ordinarily, this operation is only
performed on registered cows, Of
considerable value. Grade cattle are
shipped to market.
Whether the cancer eye" cow is q
registered or stock cow, she should
be operated upon, or shipped, just
as soon as the condition is faI
enough along to be u~nmistakable
There is no point in kidding our
selves" about this eye condition. 1
is not going to get well, or stane
still. 1t is going to grow steadily
and rapidly, and the sooner this COW
is either sold for beef, or operated
upon, the more she will be worth.

SHEEP NUMBERS have gone
down and down. Therefore, a dis
cussion having to do with culling
and selection may at first strike an
unpopular vote. 1t is appreciated,
too, that a rather poor sheep may
be better than none if numbers are
already low and an operator has the
feed and needs numbers to have an
economical unit. However, range
sheep production is a longtime in
dustry, very essential to the econ
omy of the range area, and any
methods that may improve the eff
ficiency of producing wool and
lambs are highly important now.
1t is not necessary to reduce num-
bers to follow the Wyoming sheep
improvement program, but it is im-
perative to raise white-faced eve
lambs, sired by high production
rams, and to select, save, and grow
out well the better or top end for
replacement ewes.
In Wyoming, a good percentage of
the operators have followed the So
called touch SYSTEM of culling and
selecting ewes and rams for in
creased wool and lamb production.
Without further preliminaries, let's
take an example of the results Sc
cured. These results may not be due
entirely to the culling program be-
cause usually other management
practices, such as feeding, are also
improved.
Progress Since 1923
Dean J. A. Hill of the college of
agriculture of the University of Wy
oming, began work with Fred War
rem of the Warren Livestock Co.,
near Cheyenne, in 1929.
The following table lists their

marketing time, are correspondingly
heavier.
This is to be a short article, but
it might be well to mention a few
comparisons to show it is possible
by the "touch" system to get out the
lower producers and save the heav-
Ter shearers. The Convey, Bagley and
Dayton sheep outfit of Cokeville,
Wyo., has been a co-operator since
1941. In a letter to the author under
date of July 5, 1945, A. A. Convey
wrote:
81 checked several lots of the top
ewes as you culled them and they
sheared from 1875 to Is pounds av-
erage. The off ewes Chose you culled
out), about 10.5 ponds. Had 200 more
sheep than last year and sheared
$4,000 pounds more wool. Wool was
not over dirty. Fleeces sheared off
clean"
In the spring of 1941, Dean J. A.
Hill and the writer worked 12,157
yearling ewes for the Swan Co.
They wished us to cut out about
1000 head of the least desirable
ones The results after shearing
were: 1,019 head culled out, average
81 pounds; 11,138 head reserved,
average 1852 pounds, a difference
of 1.55 pounds. 2,408 head of mature
ewes were worked for Ralph Alley
of Cokeville and 1,025 culled out
as requested by him. The reserves
averaged 1887 pounds, and those
marked out, 8.51 lbs, a difference
of 2.06 pounds, About 1,400 head Of
yearling ewes were worked for May
land Bros, near Greybull last Feb
ruary. The reserves, or selects, av-
eraged 1887 pounds, and the culls,
1892 pounds.
Selection Of Rams

1ecting rams, and the standard is
higher than for ewes. The most pro-

We have started with the weight
for 1927 because it is possible to take
the average for the three years just
previous to the initiation of this inn
provement program in 1929. The
average grease weight for these
three years is 8.32 pounds. The av-
erage for the three years, 1~939-40-41,
is lis pounds, an increase in grease
weight, after some 10 years of a
careful culling and improvement
program, of slightly over 8 pounds
per fleece.
This increase in grease weight
does not tell the entire story because
the clip was also improved in uni
formity and length of staple. In 1941,
the Warren clip was all staple wool
and close to 70 percent of one grade,
that is, II blood. Most everyone will
agree that an II to IL pound average,
on a large number of sheep, of uni
form, not heavy shrinking wool
(around 80 percent) is very good.
Fred Warren once stated, sThis pro-
gram has increased our returns SO
percent"
General Improvement
Some may think this touch" sys-
tenn of culling only takes into ac-
count the production of wool. The
Warren Livestock Co ewes now
weigh 10 to Is pounds more, the
ewes lamb easier, and the lambs, at
