all QUIET AT THE DIPPING VAT—Unemployment has
hit the sheep dipping vats in Texas since state sheep dip
ping requirements were rescinded recently. But it makes
sheepmen happy to see empty vats like this one at San
Angelo. Because of sheep scabies, sheep leaving auctions
and stockyards the last eighteen months have had to be
dipped. The scabies problem now seems to be whipped.
New Breeding Types Ahead,
Poultry Breeders Told Here
“The chicken of tomorrow is an
unknown quantity in terms of what
its breeding and production will
be,” Di 1 . C. W. Upp of Louisiana
State University told listeners at
the seventh Annual Poultry Breed
ers’ School hei'e.
Present methods of family breed
ing have struck a plateau in im
provements, he said, and poultry-
men are now trying other methods
of breeding for better yields.
Other methods under study at
present include cross-breeding be
tween types, and reciprocal re
current selection, which is a high
ly selective foiTn of cross-breeding
designed to find those birds best
equipped foi; mixing purposes.
’ Almost 200 persons attended the
bleeders’ school and Poultry Dis
ease Clinic which followed it. Dates
of the school and clinic were July
15-17.
Dr. John H. Quisenberry, head
of the A&M department of poul
try husbandry, which sponsors the
school and clinic, said they are de
signed to assist poultry breeders
and hatcheries, paificularly em
phasizing flock improvement.
Principal desired qualities in
birds—both chickens and turkeys—
for egg-men are high egg pro
duction, better hatchability and
better feed efficiency, Dr. Quisen
berry said.

West Point Tour
Aggie-ex George W. McMillan
recently completed a tour of Army
and Air Force Bases with his West
Point senior class.
McMillan is the son of Mrs.
Beatrice McMillan of Denison, Tex-
He visited W right-Patterson Air
Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, the
Aimor School at Fort Knox, Ky.,
the Artillery School at Fort Sill,
Okla.
, the Infantry School at Fort
Benning, Ga., and the Guided Mis
sile Center at
Fort Bliss, Texas,
during the flying tour.
He will spend the balance of
the summer training new plebes
at Camp Buckner.

detailed record of the fish he has
taken.
“Those first ones were careful
ly skinned,” he says, “and the
skins glued to a cardboard on
which were noted the circum
stances of the catch, where it was
made, the bait or lure and all
other pertinent information.”
Later he learned taxidermy in
order to mount the better speci
mens. It was this skill and his
intense interest in everything hav
ing to do with aquatic life that
won him a job at Yale’s Peabody
museum.
He was member of the New
Haven Boy’s Club, which gave
Yale another famous son—Albie
Booth, the Elis’ 1931 football cap
tain—when his talents were chan-
?ielled to Yale.
There he came to the attention
of Professoi- Daniel Merriman, now
director of the Bigham Labora
tory and one of the world’s fore
most authorities of fish. From
then on it has “been simply won
derful.”
Like, for instance, his plans for
this fall, when he will go into our
Northwest to help do “The Life
Story of the Salmon,” along the
Columbia and possibly the Sno-
qualmie and others of Washing
ton’s famous rivers.
present dairy surpluses are only
about two per cent of national pro
duction, and in the last five years
the dairy product price support
program has cost only $132 million
compared to $580 million for wheat

Federation of Cleveland reported
Over 100 Texas and New Mexi
co Air Reserve airmen not on ac
tive duty received promotion dar
ing the first four months of 1953,
announced Col. Robert W. Warren,
commanding officer pf Third Air
Reserve D istrict.
Local air reservists promoted in
clude A/lc William R. Schirmer
and A/2c James E. Rye.
“Outstanding qualities and skills
are essential if the Air Force is
to maintain a strong air arm,”
said Col. Warren, “and these pro
motions are cei-tainly an indica
tion of the high calibre of reserve
airmen to be found in the South
west VART units.”
Under the promotion policy for
VART, reservists not on active
duty must earn a certain number
of points each year to become eli
gible for advancement, however
I’ecommendations are primarily
based on qualification, interest and
participation in the Air Force Re
serve Training program.
A break-down of the recent pro
motions show 16 new master ser r
geants, 22 technical sergeants. 39
staff sergeants, 21 airmen first

and four airmen third class.
