Seven Lots
There are seven lots, each 900
feet square with an ID by 1O-foot

the housed feeders with concrete
floors is around $500 each. Good

foot po1e-type shed with a steel
roof The sheds are open on the
south and may be cleaned with a
manure loader. Each shed cost
about $500.
The fences are all made out of
split poles spiked to posts set
about eight feet apart. The gates
are made of 2 by 4 lumber, ex-
cept on the herd bull pens where
they are made of 2 by 6's. The
gates are all inset off the alleys
for ease of handling when test
ing the bulls and hornbranding.
All processing of feeds used,
dry rolling of grain and chopping
of hay, is done at the ranch.
Ration Not Elaborate
The ration used is not elab-
crate but it is adequate. The
grain portion of the ration con-
SistS of 6 parts oats, 6 parts bar
ley, | part dehydrated alfalfa
meal, 5 parts wheat bran, l part
inseed meal and l part sugar
beet pulp. The bull calves are
started in the fall on a ration of
1000 pounds of chopped hay to
400 pounds of grain mix; heifers,
on 100000 pound basis.
The bull calf ration is grad
ually increased SO that by Feb
ruary to March they are on L.
100000 ration. BY mid-August
they are up to 1,OO0-1 900 basis
for the finishing period. The fe-
males never get above a 1000
400 ratio, as they require much
less feed to reach a desired fin
lShed condition. IN March the
bulls are up to about seven
pounds of grain day and the
neifers three pounds.
The cost to feed this ration,
figuring hay at $40 per ton and
grain and concentrates at an
average of $2.53 per bushel, is
lot high. In January the cost OF
eeding the heifers per day was
20 cents and the bulls 27 cents.
This is close to 5 cents per day
heaper than it can be done by
land feeding.
500 per Head Cost
Warren figures it costs about
100 per head to run purebred

Sister Newspaper Editors Bicker Over Trivial Matter

Our sister newspaper editors, John
Skies of The Conway Field and Bill
Reasonover of the Myrtle Beach Sun.
were gnashing their teeth and hurting
uncomplimentary remarks at each
other last week over expediting the
flow of traffic from the beach.
We have had to fight the tempta-
ton to get into the family fued One
editor claims the traffic lights in Con-
way are rugged to retard the home
ward bound tourist who has just
spent restful moments on the strand
at Myrtle Beach. The other editorial
wizard claims the traffic lights are
set for the sake of safety and that
safety comes first.
AS an innocent bystander who has
made the trip through Conway to
Myrtle Beach and return, we feel that
neither editor had much more than a
suitable subject for recreational pur-
poses.

Exercise Your Voting Privilege

Next Tuesday is election day and
a day of Importance to every resident
of the community.
Why people take the town election
lightly then pound shoe leather drum
ming up votes for their favorite cam
didate in a state election has always
been a puzzle. Both are important but
the voter is probably more directly
affected by his choice on local level.
Popularity often worms its way into
an election simply because folks won't
vote for man they dislike personally.
Often the most unpopular man makes
the best public servant in so far as
his conscientious devotion to duty.
We have no political ties and beat

the drums for no one In an cleo
ton, when every candidate is capable
of performing the duties, politicians
must stand on their own feet.
One thing that strikes us as a
healthy situation is the lack of mud
singing. We may be bit presump-
titus, cause water may be dripping
on the soil at this very moment, but
even unsuccessful candidates are win
ners when they play the campaign
game above board.
Your vote is more important than
you think so mark June IA on your
calendar and enjoy one of your civic
duties by casting ballot in the town
election.

Certainly, one wouldn't expect the
town of Conway to operate its traffic
lights on a schedule convenient with
the Chamber of Commerce in Myrtle
Beach.
The fact that the Junior Chamber
of Commerce in Myrtle Beach is spon-
soring the drive to avoid congestion
on the highways by expediting the
outbound flow of traffic is commend
able; however, even Jaycees bark up
the wrong tree occasionally. Their in
tentions are good but someone goofed
on the routing.
AS an impartial party, we feel it
our civic duty to invite those who bask
too long in the Myrtle Beach sun and
feel it imperative that they mash the
accelerator, to continue homeward via
Conway. We wouldn't change our
traffic light system, either, even if
We had traffic lights.
