Spring Tour Held
For County Beef
Production Men

Over 60 Beefmen attended the
spring Madison County Beef Tour
according to a report from the Ex-
tension Office. 1t was held Wednes-
day, April II. Stops were made at
the Jerry and Brooks Berry Farm
where they saw native angus steers
being fed grass silage and corn cob
meal, and also a brood herd and
spring calves. The second stop was
at Wayne Smiths where the group
observed purchased feeders being
fed on sliced ear corn, pulverized
oats, and liquid molasses. They al
SO saw a practical loading shoot
and bins for sorting cattle. The
third stop was made at DR.. Citizens
and Herb Morehart Farm where
they saw a farm elevator set up,
a small brood herd and 25 home
grown calves being wintered, to be
turned on grass and sold off the
grass at very little gain. The home
grown calves were from a produc-
ton tested bull. They also observed
his $50 western eve flock.
The next stop was made at Ray
Butts where over 180, 1h to 2
year old cattle were on feed of corn
silage, corn cob meal, and supple
ment. He also had over so native
yearlings on feed. The next stop
was at the Fl. Beale Farm where
Ed Clemans, manager, showed the
group some home grown yearlings
that were on corn silage. He also
explained his brood herd manage
ment program. This included breed
ing from July 81 to October 1st,
and cows that did not breed during
that time were sold. This made the
bulk of the calves coming in May
when the cows are on pasture
which almost eliminated loss of
calves from the infectious scours.
The sixth stop was made at the
Ray Mcclure and ReSs Dorm Farm
where the group saw 81 head of
West Virginia yearlings on grass
silage and corn cob meal. These
cattle were purchased in September
at over 500 pounds weights to be
sold in June or July. The final stop
was made at the Madison County
Experiment Farm where the group
observed the five lots of cattle on
feed which will be the third and
final year for this type of expert
ment which included l. group on
corn silage (yearlings) 2. corn cob
meal and full feed of hay (year-
lings) 3. corn cob meal and grass
silage (calveS) 4. corn cob meal
and grass silage (yearlings) S.
grass silage hay pasture and corn
cob meal (calveS).
Summary reports of the past
two years including rate of gain,
carcass grades, and etc. can be OBJ
tanned from the Extension Office
and from Mr.. Rogers at the Madi-
son County Farm. Earl Kloster-
man, in charge of beef research at

WITH THE
YOUNGER SET
TATANWiN

A group of 10 girls from the
sixth grade have enjoyed fun fill
ed year in their Campfire group.
They chose as their Indian name,
Tatanwin, which means: growing
and working together for the pur-
pose of preparing themselves to
help others.
Some of their projects include:
study on the art of good-groom-
ing and makeup; making valentine
boxes for two school class rooms;
making puppets and planning their
puppet show.
The girls are now working on an
interesting skit based on Indian
background.
Interested participation creates a
desirable atmosphere in which to
work or play. We have found our
campfire group is an enjoyable ex-
pertinent which is bound to sue
ceed.

Two Groups Will Join Forces for
 Gospel Radio Station in Nome

Representatives of Denal Broad casters, Inc, and the Evangelical Mission Covenant Church met re- gently in Chicago to discuss their common interest in reaching Western Alaska and Siberia by radio. Dr. Clarence Jones, presi- dent of the World Radio Mission ary Fellowship, served as advisor and consultant at the meeting.
 For several years the Evangeli- cal Mission Covenant Church has been considering the possibility of building a radio station in con junction with it's mission opera tions in northwestern Alaska. Re gently Denali Broadcasters, Inc, revealed a similar burden.
 In the meeting just concluded, representatives of both ~organiza- tions considered how best to avoid any possible duplication of effort.
 After prayerful consideration of the interests of both groups, it was ultimately agreed that the best method of procedure would be:
 l. That the Evangelical Mission Covenant Church assume the re- sponsibility of securing broad cast license and installing suitable equipment for Gospel broadcast ing from Nome, Alaska.
 2. That Denali Broadcasters, Inc, and other evangelical organ izations be given opportunity to assist in this missionary radio effort in accordance with policies established for it's operation.
 The primary objectives of the Nome station include the broad casting of the Gospel and other programs in English. However, a greater outreach may be obtained by the use of releases in the Eski- mo and Russian languages.
