50O-Pound Calves Enter Farm
Picture As Answer To Profits

Virginia cattlencn will need
to be weaving 500-pound calves
in the near future to keep up
UP with the times, says Curtis
Mast, beef cattle specialist at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
Overhead costs will stay high
and more efficiency is called
for to make a profit. If h e
calf crop averages 500 pounds it
Will give cattlenen greater re-
turns per head.
Heavier c a ! YES are more
flexible. says Mast. Farmers
raising corn or enough grain
can rather quickly finish 500
pound calf out to an 800-pound
slaughter animal.
Also, the trend is to a faster
turnover in cattle. Many feed
lot operators are moving from
yearlngs to heavy calves to
heavy calves to feed.
How To Gel
How can cattlemen get their
calves to average 500 pounds at
weaving time? The first thing
needed is faster growing cattle
This can be improved by buy
ing performance tested bulls
Mast says, often we hear the
argument that good perform
ance tested bulls cost too much
The only way I know to buy
good seed stock is to pay what
ever the cost is, because evi
IDENTITY it is profitable to those
who are doing 50. We must use
good performance tested bulls
in the future, because that is
the only way we are going tt
be able to improve our growth
rate
Another factor is to rigid,
Gull cows, and keep only those
that have the ability to grow
! their calves fast, and to teee
them to the desired weight. The
cattleman should keep his bes
heifers as requirements. Ac

about basic values.
This is a government Of laws, not of men, the

The Judges words were correct, and the Judge
100 per cent wrong 1t was the DR.. King and his
colleagues who were demonstrating the point by ex-

The Bill Of Rights
In Birmingham

To read some of the newspaper commentators
ON the Birmingham matter you might get the i'm
preston that the Bill of Rights did not exist that
there was no such thing the right Of petition and
right Of assembly
Some Of these gentemen-WilHam S. White,
whose syndicated column appears in the Minneapolis
TRIBUNE is good example-seem to think that
the Birmingham Negroes and men like Martin Luth-
er King extremists" in carrying their for
equal treatment to the court Of national and world
opinion. 1t is suggested that they "out of line"
1t is limited that they bear responsibility for
the lawless violence that has been used against
them!
Lots Of people, of course, would like to pretend
that there is no Bill of Rights The very existence
of such a body Of opinion gives special Importance
to the Birmingham
For the Bill of Rights, the right to petition for
redress of grievances exists only to the degree that
people have the courage to invoke it. Birmingham's
Negroes are writing an important new chapter in
the history of this great document
Maybe that is what makes some of these news
paper pundits so furious.
great portion of the American press is guilty
of labelling extremists" Negroes who willing
to go to Jail for their civil rights. This is papable
dishonesty-like calling the American coonists who
rebelled against the tyranny Of the British and
fought for their freedom against their oppressors.

Racist US. Senator
Ellender AT 1t Again

Senator Allen Ellender has been at it again,
this time telling meeting Of foreign students that
African nations have been unable to build stable,
productive economies.
However there is one pretty good answer to
Senator Elender Just Of the nations he crit
icised, Nigeria has made more economic and social
progress in its five years of independence than
Senator Ellanders own backward ignorance-ridden
and altogether deporable state of Louisiana has
made in any decade since the civil war.
1t is unfortunate for America and the western
world that we have to put up with these ignorant
loud-mouths, and we hope that our African guests
will understand that this is of the prices pay
for democracy.
