Are All Worth 1t?

Are All Worth 1t?
There is yet one other point of
view to consider in connection with
group versus Individual judging of
breeding livestock. Are the palmer,
more ordinary, "every-day'' kinds of
cattle, sheep and hogs worthy of the
time, attention and identification
they receive in individual judging?
Thirty mine years of experience with
purebred and commercial livestock,
on both sides of the fence, says
''No." They should be just punched
together. But the same experience
says that all of our top quality ami
mails are worthy of individual plac-
ings. They are worth all of our time
and attention to such a degree that
we should not waste any of it on the
mediocre ones.
This idea was tried out quite re-
Gently in All stock show and, so
far, seems to operate satisfactorily.
In the All livestock classes, all of
the breeding animals were first
placed by the group-judging method:
Blue, red, and white. Then the
"reds" and whites" went right back
to the barn. The 'blues" stayed in
the ring and were placed according
to Individual characteristics in prop
er order-1, 2, and so on. They
were awarded additional premiums
on these placings. The combination
of these two kinds of judging served
as an excellent demonstration to the
club members and on-lookers and,
equally important, no boy or girl
went back to the barn as having
been identified before all the world
as the owner and exhibitor of the
poorest animal in the entire lot.
Easy TO Forget
These preceding paragraphs well
illustrate how easy it is to get
begged down in details, judging,
show rings, fat stock and breeding
stock and almost forget that 'Its
the club member, not the calf" 1t
was unintentional and therefore all
the better as an illustration. 1t points
out how easy it is to consider the
heifer or the lamb so closely that we
forget the boy or girl.
Perhaps it would be well to list
some things which must always
apply in All livestock work so we
can all the better remember not to
forget.
l. The gaining of experience and
knowledge are the prime purposes
of the work.
2. The animal is only an accessory
to the job and a strictly disposable
one.
8. Perfection and The Ideal must
be taught. This can often be better
accomplished with a poor animal
than with good one.
4. Values taught must be accurate
and kept in proper perspective. Each
one must be justified in itself for its
true or intrinsic worth.
5. Outside assistance and support
for club work cannot involve any
kind of promotion, advertising nor
publicity. No exception to this is
possible.
6. Encouragement of the member
for continuing club work is much
more important than profit or glory.
In fact, then "4-H livestock work"
is really misnomer. We are much
more concerned with boys and girls
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-08-15

those TWO steers. VINO cares!
1t is natural thing, during the
course of junior stock show, to dis
cuss and compare this steer with
that one, or the curly heifer with
the short-haired one. We all do it
all the time. Again and again we
will become so interested in two very
close animals that we hardly notice
the owners. But in connection with
club work, this tendency must be
recognized and our thinking must
often be corrected. We must make
ourselves remember that 'Tt's the
club member, not the calf"
Many of our purebred breeders
are the strongest supporters of All
livestock work that we have. In
fact, an increasing number of them
are former club members and few
even got their own start in pure
breds through club work. On the
other hand, there are some breeders
who do not seem to be aware of the
true purposes of All work or else
they, unthinkingly, become so deeply
immersed in their cattle and all SIM
liar cattle that they forget the boy
or girl and see only the animal-or
the breed, or the type or the quail
ity-to the exclusion of everything
else. Probably this attitude is most
commonly encountered in discus
sions over the merits of group judg
ing versus Individual placings and
the awarding of championships.
How About Judging?
1t is always a lot more fun, it is
always more exciting, to watch the
judging of a group of livestock on
the individual 81, 2, 81 basis. But
consider the mechanics of it for a
moment. In the case of fat stock
Judging, only the dressed carcasses
are at the true level of comparison,
not the live animals. 1t is well
known among experienced men that
it is very difficult to put accurate
carcass grades on livestock before
slaughter. This fact is accepted by
those who evaluate fat stock alive
and then follow them into the cooler
after slaughter.
Few growers and breeders ever
actually do this. A number of feed
ers make a point of seeing their
stock after it is butchered, but the
packer and butcher buyer and the
careful judge do it continually.
1t would seem wise to follow
market methods of classifying mar
| ket livestock even in the show ring.
Individual placings might be justi-
fled where publicity and advertising
| for the owners were important.
This, however, has absolutely no
place in All club work.
Deciding between group judging
of breeding animals versus indi-
vidual placings is not so easy. There
is much more room for argument in
favor of placing them al, 2 and 81
Many factors of no Importance in
slaughter animals are of much i'm
portance in breeding livestock. Size
and weight for age, for example, are
taken care of by the scales in fat
stock, as are length of leg and depth
of body.
In breeding stock, at least three of
these four factors are of first inn
portance and weighing the animals
is not in the picture at all. Such

The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1953-04-15
Washington Newsletter
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. Dob Bartlett,
Delegate to Congress from Alaska

Alaska's budget for the 1854 fs-
cal year has suffered A percent
overall cut below funds sought by
President Truman. It has now
been learned this heavy slash, at
first asserted to have been made
at the instance Of the Bureau of
Budget, was instead made within
the Department of the Interior it
self and approved by Sec Mckay.
The heaviest burden of the AL
aska reductions is carried by the
Office of Territories having juris-
dictiOn over the construction pro-
gram for roads, the Alaska Rail
road and the Alaska Public Works.
AS previously reported the slash
removes S3,8O0,000 from the Tru-
man request of $18,4OO,0OO for
construction Of roads, SIS million
from the Truman request of SIS
million for the Alaska Public
Works program and $13,592,OOO
from the $16,311,O 900 sought by the
former President for the Alaska
Railroad.
If sustained, there would be no
money for the Copper River Hwy.
planned to connect Cordova with
the Richardson Highway, no funds
for rehabilitation of the Seward
Portage portion of the Alaska RR.
and for Seward docks, no money
for the proposed new road from
Kasilof to Kenai, a reduction Of
$450,000 from the item of recon-
struction of roads and bridges and
a cut Of $25O,OOO from the program
for paving the Alaska Highway.

Suggested Anchorage
Should Run Eklutna

WASHINGTON, Up = Repre-
sentative D'Ewart R-MonD sug-
gested Monday that the City of
Anchorage should explore the pos
sibility Of running the Eklutna
power project now under con-
struction by the government.
However, Fred AFFORD, mem
Der of the Anchorage city council,
said he and other officials were
not in a position to consider it at
this time.
The discussion came during
hearing by House Interior sub
committee on the Eklutna project.
So far the government has spent
or contracted for about $40 million
of work on the Eklutna project.
Legislation before the committee
would raise the authorization of
the project to $50 million.

The Air Force has been using

And Brig. Gen. George w. God
dard, who pioneered Sd in the
Air Force, sees no limit to its
horizons. We've got the cameras
away ahead of the airplanes" he
says. with the camera we now
have plane could fly at a speed
of 5000 mph and height Of 1000
feet, and get a detailed continu-
Gus picture in natural color of
everything in its path.
Using our protector, three

Peron Labor Group
To Keep La Prensa
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina.
Nov. 5.-La Prensa, newspaper
appropriated by thee Argentine
congress in 1851, quoted Presi-
dent Peron yesterday as saying
that paper will remain in the
hands of the pro-Peron General
Confederation of Labor.
The paper itself announced
under banner headline that it
will remain under CGT's owner
ship and not be returned to the
family of its exiled former edi-
tor, Alberto Gainza Paz, as was
suggested in a recent editorial in
the New York Times.
The paper quoted as saying:
GAS long as one single Peron-
ista worker continues to exist in
the nation, the newspaper La
Prensa will continue in the
hands of the Argentine work.
ers."
La Prensa, largest and richest
paper in the country, was closed
by pro-Peron labor unions in
January, 1851. Shortly after. it
was appropriated and turned
over to CGT with Peron's bless
ing.
The Times editorial referred
to Peron's newly expressed
friendship for the United States.
The editorial said this friend
ship could be better expressed by
deeds than by words and sug-
gested that the best start he
could make would be to restore
La Prensa to its "rightful own
ership."

Anne Baxter Proposes Actors
As Goodwill ENJOYS for u. S.
Cites Theatrical
Response to USO
And Bond Tours
By [. Edoor Primo

4 -
Blond and lovely Anne Bax-
ter flew into town yesterday
with an idea.
And the Hollywood actress,
who is now giving the legitimate
theater whirl in John Brown S
Body" which opens three day
run in Constitution Hall to-
night, believes that, properly
implemented, it could help halt
the spread of anti-American
feeling in many parts of the
world.
Her proposal is simple: Gov
ernment-sponsored but talent
donated tours by American film,
stage and concert artists of
areas like Indonesia, India and
parts of Europe, where the need
for understanding America and
Americans is greatest.
AS idea-gal and No. l volun-
teer, she is willing to let. the
State Department work out the
details.
Enthusiastic over Idea.
Despite just having completed
string of one-night stands
across the country, Miss Baxter
explained her idea with great
animation - between incoming
telephone calls-at her 18th
floor suite in the Woodner Hotel.
Entertainers, generally, are
considered as artists first" she
declared. Nationality comes
second. So I think they would
be excellent for the job of gain
i'lg understanding for our peo-
pie and principles by tours III
which they dedicate themselves
to this purpose
She said she was certain the
entertainment field would re-
spond generously to such a
pan, just as it did on the USO
anO DOnQ Tours.
Should Know Language.
Miss Baxter, who got her idea
after spending four months in
Europe earlier this year, sug-
gested that the participating ar
lists learn something of the
language of the country or coun-
tries they would visit.
Nothing warns up a Euro
pean like hearing an American
using his language" she as
serted. II speak a little French
ana a smattering of German and
I know
Miss Baxter pointed out the
Russian government, for years,
sponsored a similar program and
had great success with it. She
recalled the recent international
festival in Florence, Italy, where
the leading ballet stars of the
U. S. S. r. performed. The
United States, although invited,
was not represented.
The actress said she has not
broached her idea to any one at
the State Department as yet
but wants to take it uL first with
Senator Knowland of California,
the Republican majority leader.
