Tank Wins
Blue Ribbon At
Highland Fair

A 55O-gallon concrete livestock
water tank held the highest in
terest point among exhibits at the
recent Highland County fair, ac-
cOrding to local fair officials.
The tank was a working ex-
hibit" since it furnished ample
water for livestock exhibitors in
contrast with the very inadequate
water supply experienced in past
fairs.
Building the tank was a CO.
operative deal, the Soil Conser-
vation District furnishing the
form and pipes, with the cement
being furnished by the Highland
Stone Division. The overall cost
of this type of tank is approx
mately $40, including ready-mix
cement, pipes, and float.
Designs were obtained through
Tom Parry, the local farm plan
ner for the US. Soil Conservation
Service.

Livestock Ailments
Inflict Huge Losses

The American Foundation for
Animal Health today called for a
concerted program to reduce live
stock diseases which are inflicting
staggering losses upon the nations
economy.
Statistics recently published by
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture show that brucellosis, an
thrax, mastitis, cattle grubs, lice,
screw worms, and other livestock
diseases and parasites cost the u.
S. livestock industry more than
$2,500,000000 every year.
Much of this loss might have
been prevented by veterinary dag
noSis and treatment" said Foun-
dation spokesman Where we
can't protect animals by vaccina2
ton and other preventive medica-
ton, we must protect them by
god management and be ready to
safeguard the rest of the herd
whenever a sick animal is detect
ed" .. .. .,t
T he Foundation recommends
close cooperation between the
livestock grower, his local veterin-
arian, and government livestock
authorities in applying proven
methods of disease control.
THE world is growing smaller
for livestock disease organisms,
too" the Foundation official point
ed out. There are more oppor-
tunitieS today for transmission of
costly diseases. Veterinary science
is continually developing new
methods of combating them, but
in the last analysis it is the COOP
GRAFTON of the livestock owner that
determines the success of livestock
disease control programs"

Mexican Cattle ,.t
Import Cost Up

CHICAGO: Costs of importing
Mexican cattle into the United
States after the border is reopen
ed December 81, 1854 are expected
to be higher than the presently
published costs, reports the cur
rent issue of National Live Stock
Producer.
Average costs based on present
figures for a herd of 500 cattle
weighing between 200 and 440
pounds are estimated at $5.85 per
cwt. A herd of 500 head weighing
between 440 and 700 pounds would
cost an estimated $475 per cwt.
for importing costs.
Excellent rains in the Chihua-
hua and Sonora range areas dur
ing the past two months would I'M
dicate that Mexican cattle will be
in top condition in October. For
this reason the cattlemen'S union
of both states are urging an ear
lier opening of the border rather
than the December 81 date set by
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.

Winter Wheat Crop
Depletes Soil

CHOCAGO Ohio's 1854 win
ter Wheat crop of 47,628,0 900 bu-
shells drained from the soil more
than 95,125,0oO pounds of plant
nutrients, reports the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee, in
a statement issued here.
This estimated total represents
w h e at grain alone" saws the
statement. IF straw were added.
the all-over nutrient loss would
be more than 158,70O,OOO pounds.
The 47628,00O bushels of wheat
grain took 55,545,OO0 pounds of
nitrogen, 25, ,392 900 pounds of
phosphate and 14,283,OO0 pounds
of potash from Ohio farm soils
this year, says the committee.
Wheat, plus straw, would have
removed 79.350,0OO pounds of nj
trogen, 31,740,0O0 pounds of phos-
phate and 4761O,00O pounds of
potash.
ITO balance this nutrient loss
year after year and build the
soils long-range fertility level"
says the statement, "a steady re-
plenishment program is needed on
thousands of Ohio farms.
Making a profit on wheat these
days, depends on getting top
yIeIds at the lowest cost per bu-
shell, on the acres in crop. The
use of commercial fertilizer con-
tanning nitrogen, phosphate and
notash is essential in getting
those high yields and rock bot
tom costs.
The committee reports that
many farmers have found they
can put on in the, fall the fertili-
ger needed to feed the wheat.
