RESOLUTION OF HIGHWAY MEET (Continued from Page 1) will enable the state to conform to the requirements of the Federal Aid Act and to receive the benefits of Fed- eral Aid; and that the study of High- way Economics, Highway Transport, Highway Engineering and Safety Ed- ucation be given special emphasis in the educational system of the state, that recognizing. the inter-relation be- tween efficient rural education and improved highways the educators, press and public officials of Texas should exert every energy toward the upbuilding of the State Highway Sys- tem, and that these resolutions be distributed to the Press of the State.” ————————————— DISCUSSION OF BRAHMA CATTLE (Continued from Page 1) weights (taken at 45 day intervals) were compared. Hereford steers and three-eights Brahma steers ran very close all year, sometimes one and sometimes the other being ahead. The three-eights Brahma heifers were a little lighter than the Hereford heifers all season. The numbers are too small to ‘be conclusive and several facts should be considered in whatever tentative opinion is drawn from these results. One is that this was a very dry year in that region, a fact which should be favorable to the Brahmas on account of their superior resistance to drouth and scant food. that Sonora is free of ticks and rather free of insect pests as compared to the coast country. This did not give the Brahmas a chance to show their greater freedom from insect annoy- ance. Another very important fact was that the three-quarters Brahma bull weighed 1250 pounds while the | Hereford bulls weighed from 1550 to 1600 pounds during the breeding sea- son. This should have given the Hereford calves a distinctly heavier weight than the Brahmas. One can only say that the grade Brahmas probably have real merit even for the conditions of West Texas and almost certainly do for the coast country and South Texas. It is planned to con- tinue the experiments for a number of years until there are numbers enough under all sorts of conditions, Another is to answer conclusively questions about them. Present opinion among ranch- ers who raise Brahma cattle in the coast country, is that the best plan is to keep cow herds of from one- fourth to five eights Brahma blood and use good beef bulls on them. Doctor Lush also traced the history of Brahma cattle in this country re- ferring to five importations: Davir in 1849; Barrows in 1854; Montgom- ery and Frost some time previous to 1891; Hagenbeck in 1904; and the one large one financed by Pierce and O’Connor, and directed by Colonel Borden in 1906. All the purebred Brahma cattle in the United States are now owned by the Pierce Estate under the management of Colonel Borden, but large high-grade herds toria, and others. The McFadden herd is one of the longest established. ——————————— THE JOY OF NOW. By Edgar A. Guest.
