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

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.

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.
