Food for Freedom Program Calls For More Texas Cattle The largest percentage increase among the food production goals announced for Texas by the State U.S.D.A. Defense Board under the 1942 “Food-For Freedom” cam paign, is 18 percent in cattle and calves for marketing and farm slaughter. Other goals include a 17 percent increase in hogs; 10 per cent in eggs; 6 percent in sheep and lambs; and 3 percent in milk. The suggested increase in beef is sought for processing rather than enlargement of herds, and would represent 269,093,000 pounds more than was placed on the mar ket in 1941. George W. Barnes, animal hus- bandryman of the A. & M. college Extension Service, says there should be no difficulty in reaching the goal if current or better prices for livestock prevail. Ranchmen would cull their cows closer and sell off irregular breeders, and barren and over age animals. There are very few herds of any size in Texas, he added, which do not have a selection of these types of animals, and on account of ex cellent pasturage and surplus feed older cows readily could be put into conditions to go to market at 900 to 1,150 pounds live weight and sold at a profit. Since the increase requested is a matter of pounds rather than units, the good pastures, trench silos and other home-grown feed leserves have made another con tribution to the program. Calves are heavier this fall than for sev eral years and the percentage of herd calf crops is larger. Further more, cattlemen will give closer A & M Men In Prominent Role At Etex Yamboree President Walton Serves as Principal Speaker at Gilmer Meet A. & M. college authorities are playing a prominent part in the Annual East Texas Yamboree at Gilmer, Texas, which began Wed nesday and will continue through Saturday. A field day was held yesterday at the State Sweet Po tato Investigations Laboratory at Gilmer. Dr. S. H. Yarnell, of the Divi sion of Agriculture at the Texas A. & M. Agricultui’al Experiment Station, will preside as chairman of the afternoon programs. “Re cent research on Increasing Yields” will be the lecture given by Dr. J. C. Miller, Head Horticul turist of the Louisiana State uni versity. Walton T. McKay of the Texas State Department of Agri culture in Arlington will speak on “Potato Diseases and Their Con trol” and J. F. Rosborough will lead the down to earth round table dis cussion on “How Shall We Market Our Sweet Potato Crop.” Ros borough is extension Horticulturist at Texas A. & M. college. Also among prominent guests attending will be Dr. T. O. Walton, President of Texas A. & M. col lege, who will be principal speak er on the All-Service Club lunch eon program Thursday, October 23rd, a feature of the East Texas Yamboree. Climaxing this special program will be an old-fashioned barbecue whereby all guests will be feted in true Texas fashion. Doctors Miller, Yarnell, Morgan, and Messrs. McKay and Rosbor ough will also act as judges for the yam exhibits during the Yamboree. attention to management and breeding. “There will be no trouble what ever in reaching the goal in eggs, provided prices remain at the pres ent level,” says George P. Mc- arthy, Extension Service poultry- man. Producers are being en couraged to buy protein concen trate to mix with home produced grains in order to obtain a better balanced feeding program. A high percentage of farmers have not been using protein other than skim milk, but with prevailing prices for eggs producers are justi fied in making the additional ex penditure to place this supplement in the ration, he believes. With pullets coming into pro duction, McCarthy estimates that the 1942 production of eggs in Tex as will exceed that of 1941 by more than 12 percent. Some of the ma jor poultry-growing counties will increase their output of eggs be yond the 10 percent goal, but no county, he added, would fall be low it. Clean Clothes IS THE SUCCESS OF ANY MAN Send Your Clothes Now To MODEL CLEANERS Bryan Junior Professional Assistant Jobs Announced by Civil Service Commission The Civil Service Commission yesterday made its annual an nouncement of examinations for “Junior Professional Assistants.” These junior-grade positions are intended to promote careers in Government professional and scientific fields by enabling gra duating students at colleges to enter the service with no experience in these fields. The registers established for Junior Administrative Technicians, Business Analysists, and Econo mists from the Junior professional Assistant examination announced early this year have been used ex tensively. In anticipation of con tinuing heavy demands the United States Civil Service Commission has announced the new examina tion in these three fields. This ex amination is announced to aug ment, not to replace, those regis ters. Both regular and defense agencies of the Government are in need of these three types of eligibles. The positions pay $2,000 a year. It is expected that further Junior Professional Assistant examina tions covering other subjects will be announced in January 1942, but without these three fields. Ac cordingly, all interested persons, including college seniors and gra duate students, who are qualified and will complete the required special courses prior to July 1, 1942, are urged to make applica tion under this announcement. Ap- plicatins must be filed not later than November 3, 1941 with the Civil Service Commission in Wash ington, D. C. Applicants must not have passed their thirty-fifth birth day. Further information, and appli cation forms, may be obtained from the Commission’s representa tive at any first or second class post office, or from the Com mission’s central office in Wash ington.
