Hand Breeding Makes 1t Possible =.
Pay More for Bulls

problems that cropped up. They've
stretched the breeding period to As
days-long enough for at least two
cycles for every cow-and used three
bulls right from the start. They
picked three bulls of similar breed
ing, including two half-brothers.
The financial savings of hand
breeding are important, the Schnitts
say, but they aren't its only advan-
tage. For one thing, calves are bound
to be more uniform, since more are
sired by one bull. And valuable, too,
are the records you can keep.
Last year, the Schmitts ear-tagged
each cow as she was bred, recording
tag numbers, time of breeding and
the bull. AS each tagged cow calved
this spring, they were able to deter
mine whether she had been bred
when exposed or later in the season.
They also checked the calf against
his sire-and, Bernie points out,
when you know for sure which bull
sires a group of calves, you can see
just how much good he is doing.
The 2-year-old bull used prin-
cipally in the Schmitts' experiment
last year was kept corralled through
out the 31-day period. He was fed
Is pounds of rolled barley and oats
per day and alfalfa fresh from the
bayfield,. Though used heavily by or
dinary standards, he showed no loss
of either weight or vigor, tn
Schmitts say.

eve always run at least 8 bulls,
and more likely 9 or 10, with a herd
of 200 cows" Bernie says. eve know
we'll lose one or two a year, from
one thing or another, and we'll
change every two or three years. 1t
means we tie up lot of money to
get the kind of bulls we need.
''But we think we can do the same
job, and maybe do it better, with
three or four bulls if we hand-breed
them. That way we can use better
bulls-pay two or three times what
we would for ordinary ones-but
keep the cost down by using fewer
of them"

ing last year. They had their prob

hand d-breeding could be made to
work with a commercial herd if the
set-up was right.
So Cows, l Bull
The problems came first last year.
The Schmitts planned to breed 68
head of cows, including some heifers,
to one good 2-year-old Hereford bull
in 31day breeding period. 1t worked
fine until, one day, IL cows came in
at once. The Schmitts ran in another
bull, a yearling. And toward the
end of the month, they ran II
another, 4-year-old, to help out.
They kept the cows in a 400-acrt
pasture adjoining the bull corral
and one of the boys rode the pasture
throughout the morning and again
just before dark to check the herd
They figured they would have t.

sible, so they'd bring in COW, leav

Davis Re-Introduces
Bill Aimed at Curbinq
Crime in WASHINGTON
Proposal Stiffens Laws
And Boosts Powers
Of District Police

The big crime bill stemming
from a 1850 House investigation
of District crime and punishment
was introduced into the House
again yesterday by Representative
Davis, Democrat, of Georgia.
Mr.. Davis headed the House Dis
trict Crime subcommittee during
its investigation and steered the
bill through the House, which
passed it in June. 1851. But it
died in the Senate.
Designed to plug loopholes in
District law and aid it's enforce
Iment. the bill was re-introduced
with a few minor revisions.
Major Features Kept.
Among the major features pre-
served from the original are man
datory minimum sentences for cer-
tain offenses, control of after
hours clubs through licensing
establishment of a permanent
council on law enforcement
making it a crime to be a habitue
of a dive" broadened powers for
police to search and arrest without
warrant. revision of the Danger
Gus Weapons Act and sitter pen
alties for vialators, increased sent
ences for abortionists and certain
sex offenders.
Mr.. Davis said the bill provides
for approximately IS changes in
the criminal law of the District.
It's title calls for "the more eff
fective prevention, detection and
punishment of crime in the Dis
trict of Columbia"
Changes Made in Law.
In it's present form, the bill
eliminates a section which has
already become law in a slightly
different version. This section ap-
piled to illegal entry on public
property.
Another change, relating to
minimum sentences for certain
crimes, specifies that some sections
of the Federal Youth Corrections
Act would not apply.
During its hearings, the crime
investigating group took a long
look at after-hours clubs and
gambling. The hearings also
featured a feud between the then
Chief of Police Robert j. Barrett
and Capt. Anthony Richitt of the

By Don S. Worren

The Senate Republican Con-
ference is expected to vote next
Tuesday on a proposal to reduce
the size of the District Committee
from 13 to II members so as to
give junior Senators more chances
for major committee assignments
Senator Case. Republican, OF
South Dakota, chairman Of the

had approved a tentative report
to this end.
Under this plan, the size of the

He said the District would lose
nothing by the change while

zation by permitting new members
some of them men of extensive

and Civil Service Committees, moi
because OF lack of ability, but
merely because of the greater
seniority of others.

majority leader in the Senate, hat
helped to draft the report anc
that Senator Bridges, elected by
the Senate as President pro tenn
