EuCIluSldSCIC TOuIlu-LIl6- world travellers Mrs. Cathe- rine Blankenburg, owner of the Frontier Shop, and her daughter Gail returned home last weekend after a seven months trip that took them into 17 different countries.
 The final lap of their jour- ney, most of which was made on two East Asiatic Go. cargo ships, was via Northwest Air lines from Tokyo. The ships on which they travelled are Danish owned.
 Both Mrs. Blankenburg and her daughter named Den- mark their favorite country, because it was such a "gay friendly country.
 Others they visited were Canada, Panama, Belgium, Holland, England, Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Egypt, Arabia, British Malaga, Siam, Hong Kong, and Japan. In England and Germany they visited rela- tives. and in the former country, Mrs. Blankenburg returned to her birthplace.
 Shopping in the far East in Siam and Singapore, the two found fascinating, and they became accomplished at bargaining which is the method used in oriental countries. Most of the shop keepers everywhere speak English, Mrs. Blankenburg said, and they needed an in- terpreter only in Arabia.
 During their journey, the Blankenburgs passed through the worlds two great canals. the Panama and Suez. They arrived at Port Said just as the British Egyptian troubles broke out and were unable to 20 ashore to see any part of Egypt. Shopkeepers came to the ship howev CT to display their wares to the travellers.

IN the TALL determines the money a
stockman makes from a bunch of
cows. Dry cows bring good money,
but they have to be replaced by
heifers that cost almost as much as
the dry COW. 1t is the calf crop that
counts, short calf crop means
short bank account In the long run,
a dry COW is hay burner and a
liability instead of an asset.
It has long been considered that
a good herd under good manage
ment should show an 80 percent calf
crop in the fall Many small, care
fully handled herds consistently get
80 to 95 percent calves. Other herds,
for one reason or another cannot
seem to get calf crop of over 70
percent. The first group consistently
makes money, the second consistent
" loses money, or barely breaks
even.
The perfect, breeding COW should
have her first calf as a 3-year-old.
and have calf every spring until
she is 10 or II years old. But we
don't have very many such cows;
there are too many things that in
terfere with regular breeding. Some
of these things can be remedied or
prevented, some cannot, they just
happen. But the things that 'sjust
happen affect only one or two
cows, now and then, they do not
affect enough cows in any one herd
to materially reduce the total calf
crop. The principle causes of short
calf crop are all remediab1e and pre-
ventable.
Brucellosis Bangs disc ase).
This is probably the most common
cause of low breeding efficiency.
Because there may have been only
two or three actual abortions in a
bunch of cows, the owners are often
reluctant to believe that a Is per-
cent shortage of calves can be due
to Brucellosis. They do not realize
that Brucellosis affects cattle in
many ways beside the actual prema-
ture birth of a calf. Many calves are
born at full term, but dead, many are
born alive. but sick1y, and die in a
short time. And many cows are bar
rem, because the previous effect of
/ the disease has rendered them
sterile. A blood-test of a few Of these
dry cows may be necessary to prove
the presence of Brucellosis, but that
is easily done.
In many small herds, 100 cows
or less, the consistent use of Brucella
vaccine on the replacement heifer
calves, has, in three to four years,
raised the calf percentage from 70
to 80 or better. There was no general
blood testing, no shipping of ire
actor" or diseased cows, just annual
vaccination of the heifer calves Sc

use of the blood test, and the elm.

same result can be obtained in much
less time.

has lost all or most of its vitamin A.
AS rule, the amount of green color
in hay is a good measure of its
vitamin A content.
Lack of vitamin A does not cause
abortions, but the calves from such
deficient cows may be born dead,
or very weak Often, they cannot
stand. or if on their feet, can only
walk a few steps and then slump
down. Their circulation seems
faulty, for the lips and tongue are
blue, the heart beats fast, and the
slightest exertion is too much. Most
Of these calves die in a couple of
hours, or at the most live two or
three days. It is not at all easy to
tell whether such calves are from
cows affected with Brucellosis or
from vitamin "A deficient cows, and
a blood test Of a few cows may be
necessary.
The Best
Breeding cows rate the best hay
on the ranch, good bright hay with
lots of green color. The last years
hay, or damaged hay, can be fed to
dry cows or bulls, steers, etc, but
should not be fed after New Years,
to breeding cows. This deficiency is
common. Nearly all reports of weak
calves" when investigated turn out
to be due to lack of vitamin A.
Phosphorus deficiency is the third
item on our list, and very impor-
tant item. Phosphorus is a mineral
that is essential to reproduction, and
the breeding cycle of cattle. In the
countless experiments that have
been conducted to demonstrate the
value of phosphorus supplements for
cattle on phosphorus-deficient range.
the most outstanding result is in the
calf-crop.
For instance. in an experiment in
Texas, 100 cows were run on def
Gent range, but fed plenty of phos-
pilates. Another 100 cows on the
same range, were not fed any extra
phosphorus. Otherwise, the two
punches were the same. The phos-
phorus fed bunch weaned 81 calves
the observation-disclosures cattle
weaned So calves. In Wyoming, us.

Disease, Diet Deficiencies
Cause Short Calf Crops
By DR.. HOWARD WEIGH

The vaccination of heifer calves, at
about months Of age, is the basis
of any system or plan of Brucellosis
control, and it should be made a
routine practice in every breeding
herd, whether the disease is sus-
pected or not. Vaccination of mature
cows may be resorted to in extreme
cases, but should not be undertaken
without consulting a veterinarian.
Vitamin A deficiency, the lack Of
the green grass" vitamin, is an
other offender. Brown. weather

is stack burnt" hay that has been
rained on and turned over several
times before stacking, is hay that

on the streets, to which attention had been called not TOO lono

and that is likely to last until and unless sometime elsn han

Effective Sept. 7

ALI three members of Big

have rendered their resignation
to State Director S. H. Mitchell,
effective September Z. The in
formation was made public by
the local board today.
The board, composed of B. A.

members, gave as reasons the
fact that Operation Bulletin No.
"A takes control out of the
hands of the local boards by
forcing the boards to reopen all
college students files and give
them the right for an appeal.
The board feels that college
students are entitled to no more
consideration than anyone else,
according, to their letter of res
ignation.
In their letter, the board
stated:
"The draft boards and public
in general were led to believe
that the deferment of college
students was to be left up to
the local boards.
I'm operation bulletin No. A,
passed by Congress, control
was taken out of the hands of
the local boards by forcing the
boards to reopen all college
students files and give them
the right for an appeal. That
gives college students the ad-
vantage over the rest of the
registrants.

lege student is no better than
anyone else. In the one case of

lowed to go over our heads to
appeal, the appeal board upheld

professors, designed to put new
life into those industries in
Wyoming.
Wyoming Governor Frank A

not "inSuperable." r.
Governor Barrett reviewed
the grim picture of decline in
the beet industry in wyoming
Sugar beet acreage dropped
from $1,000 acres in 1888 to
$4,000 last year. Two sugar fac
~tor1es-Wheatland and Sheri-
dan have shut down and a
third, Lowell. may be forced to
close. :.
The governor warned that if
the state stands by and does
nothing to rebuild the indus
try, 1t may run the risk of hav-
ing neighboring states take
over prior right and claim tc
quotas for new beet acreage.
He spoke of the value of the
by-products of sugar beets, and
of the beet crop as a sol.
builder. He also pointed out the
dollar value of sugar beets tt
communities was greater than
that of any other standard
crops acre for acre.
