from 500 to 1900 ewes are run in fenced separate
meadow pasture. If spring storms are prevalent,
shelter sheds are provided. The ewes lamb by
themselves with little assistance.
Shed lambing Is popular, especially when July
or August fat lambs are desired. The Landing band
Is kept in a feed corral or small pasture adjacent to
a Landing shed. When q eve lambs, she and her
green lamb are taken into the shed to an individ-
ual pen or Jug" After a day in the 'jug," they are
put in a larger pen will others. Gradually, over q
period of 3 to 10 days, larger and larger units are
merged. From the shed these punches go out to
green pastures or into feed yards until the pasture
grows. Under this system of almost complete con-
troll, a very high percentage of lambs is saved.
The paddock system of Landing also is receiving
favorable attention. Ewes, after they lamb, are
transported from the range to the lambing shed by
trailer. After a day or two In the shed, a small
bunch is made up and turned into a small pasture
with a shelter shed. In a day or two, several small
punches are merged and go into a larger pasture.
This is repeated until at the end of two weeks or so,
the summer bands are assembled.

Saving More Lambs

By Alexander Johnston, Wool Specialist
University Of Wyoming, Laramie
Because every lamb grown to
market maturity will now bring
from SIS to $40, lamb mortality
has become a source of increasing
loss. Landing practices reflect
this. Open range lambing is
decreasing. Pasture Landing is
increasing in favor. Bands of

ago would have been puzzled by the above
illustration. But livestock producers today see
it as a picture of a routine job vaccination
of a calf to help keep him healthy.
Livestock producers and meat packers have
q common goal: to supply America with all
the wholesome, nutritious meat this nation of
ours needs. And so at every step of the way
from range, farm and feed lot to the tables of
consumers-precautions are taken to produce
meat of the best possible quality :. meat that
will receive the familiar round purple stamp
ssU. S. Inspected & Passed. - This purple circle,
found on every important cut supplied by fed
orally inspected packers, is the housewives
guarantee of good, wholesome meat.
Growing animals are subject to various all
ments. Meat, milk, wool and other valuable
by-products enough to supply a good-sized
nation are lost on farms and ranches each
year. Add to this the lost grain and grass fed to
animals which never live to maturity, or fed to
unthrifty livestock that gain slowly. Total dol
lar losses run into billions.
Much has been done toward reducing these
losses. New drugs and chemicals, such as the
sulfas, penicillin and phenothiazine, are con-
quering livestock ailments, pests and parasites.
But some of these causes of reduced production
and profit are stubborn. To lick them will take
increased knowledge, cooperation among neigh
bors and a constant watch for danger signs.
But the increased earnings which can result
from these efforts make them more than worth
while. Production of healthy livestock is the
only way to keep the markets for the meat you
produce supplied and expanding. In solving
your problems your local, state and federal
veterinarians are good men to turn to for help.

Let's Be For Things Seems to m,


most of us spend too much time and blood
pressure being against things. Let's be for
things. Let's be for freedom of choice and
initiative. Let's be for a system which allows
a man to choose freely his own work, to
make his own opportunities, to plan his oHn
production. Which lets him decide where
and how he lives; how he spends or invests
his earnings. Let's be for our country, where
a mans the boss of his own time, his w
thoughts and his own political and religious
beliefs. Let's take a good look at the rest of
the world, then r~everently thank God, and
be for the United States.

The livestock producer, both by nature and by
necessity, is q true conservationist. He would no
more deliberately ruin the property on which he
depends for his livelihood, and which he hopes to
pass on to his children, than the manufactures
would deliberately tear down the plant in which he
pei"' A. A. SMITH, President
American National Livestock Assoc.
Large size is not bad in itself on the contrary,
it is sometimes needed if full advantage is to be
taken of the economics of large scale production and
distribution. The enterprises engaged in meeting
the varied wants of the American people are enor-
mously diverse :. There are neighborhoods which
can support big stores and other neighborhoods
which can scarcely support a little one The
capital required to establish a fairly big chain of
groceries or baseball teams would not suffice to

Price Balances
Supply and Demand
In the first six weeks of the
year livestock and meat

prices nave dropped with great rapidity. In
my "a years with Swift & Company I have
never seen so violent a drop. On the other
hand, 1 have never seen prices start down
from so high a level. 1t is the law of supply
and demand at work.
When the wholesale prices of meat-the
amount meat packers can get for it-go
down, it means lower prices for livestock. 1t
always has been and always will be that way.
When demand for meat increases, we are
able to pay producers more for their live
stock. The prices Swift & Company, and the
other 10000 meat packers and commercial
slaughterers, pay for livestock are governed
by what they can get for the total available
supply of meat and the by-products. AS in
the past, SO in the future, livestock prices
will result entirely from the balance between
supply and demand.

Droftees' and Veterans Guide
By Maj. Thomos M. NisI-

This is important to any World
War II veteran who thinks he may
want to take singie-type course
of study under the GI bill, today
or in the future.
No single-type course can be
taken, you see, unless you can show
that it is vocational in nature, not
avocational.
We've been through this before
and you probably remember that a
vocational course of study is one
directly connected with your wage
earning or career plans and an
avocational course one not con-
nected with your Job or career.
Congress passed a law last sum-
mer outlawing all avocationa.
courses. 1t maintained that the
CT bill was never intended to sup
ply dancing lessons or flying lessons
or jiu-jitsu to veteran who
wanted to take them just for the
fun of it.
So after the law was passed the
Veterans administration looked fol
ways to administer it. It's been q
tough job, as any VA worker will
tell you. Here's the way they
went about it:
A veteran wanting to take a sin
gle-course subject, or a group of
subjects, must first get approval
from his own regional Office. If he
doesn't already have his certificate
of eligibility, he has to get that, too.
Say the regional office looks at his
case and decides that on the sur
face there is no apparent connec-
ton between the course and the
veterans employment. It then
writes him that in order to get
approval he must submit complete
justification" that the course he
wants to take is tied in with his
present or future employment plans
that there Is a direct connection
between the two.
And here is the first place lot
Of veterans are doing themselves an
injustice. They aren't submitting
the complete Justification" They
simply write back that they've al
ways wanted to take this particular
course. that they think they will
do we'll in it. etc, etc.
But they don't attempt to estab-
lish an economic or professional re-
lationship between the course and
their job
Proof that the course will be ar
aid to the job is the very best kind
of complete justification" there is.
Well, when the VA registration
officer gets hold Of what many vets
submit as complete Justification
he often has to decide that the
course has not been proved to be
vocational and that therefore he
cannot approve 1t. So he writes
the veteran and explains that If he
wants to take the course he must
go through advisement and guild
ance, which can be arranged by his
VA regional ONCE.
Here is the second place many
veterans are doing themselves ar
injustice A great many advised
that their complete Justification
isn't sufficient, just let the matter
drop there. They never request
Amusement and guidance, or voca-
tional counseling.
OF those who do request and take
the guidance, more than half are
approved!

taking advisement and guidance.
Your regional Office arranges this
for you, scheduling the time and
place for the guidance well in ad-
vance. AS a matter of fact, you
may have to wait up to a month
before getting it.
You can see, though, the wait
may we'll be worth while.

was about to come down from a

he saw large black bear nosing
