Newly Developed Grass Is Popular The newly-developed grass de veloped by the Georgia Experiment Station and known as Coastal Ber muda, has “become quite popular in the dairy sections of the south, according to the Soil Conservation Service. In Louisiana, the Bogue Chitto- Pearl River and Feliciana districts have been instrumental in se curing 2,408,00 stolons of this grass for the farmer cooperators in their respective districts. This was enough to plant more than 200 acres. This certified grass comes from the Zimmerman Farms at Tifton, Georgia. It will produce, when properly treated, approximately 1,000 pounds of beef or 10 tons of hay each year per acre. It does not reproduce from seed, but must be transplanted from portions of the plant. It is also resistant to fungus diseases. first place by beating F. Hensley and C. Gable 6-1, 6-1. In 13 and under boys singles Don Avera lost to Sam Wacker, Houston 0-6, 3-6.

Paul Boner (above) has been appointed Dean of the University at the Main University of Texas in Austin. New Source Tried For Use of Fats A new source of consumption for animal fats is being tried at A&M’s Sheep Center. Since the average house wife would rather use shortening and vegetable oil than pure lard for cooking, there has been a contin uously decreasing demand for pure lard. Due to the decreasing de mand, the price of the commodity has gone down, reducing the mar ket for hog fat. The A. H. department believes that lard will make a good source of protein supplement for livestock rations. The price of lard is low and the protein content is very high, thus making a good cheap soui - ce of protein supplement which will substitute for cottonseed meal or some other expensive protein supplement. In order to feed this, the lard is melted and mixed with the ra tion. While it is melted, it is very easy to mix in the same proportion acocrding to protein content as any other protein supplement. In addition to protein, lard has many other neutritional values. A new publication, C-338, Laying Cage Management, is available at the offices of county agents. It contains the latest information on housing the laying flock in indi vidual cages. Texans seem generally content ed with the 1953 waterfowl harvest regulations, according to the Exec utive Secretary of the Game and Fish Commission. He said the response to the state’s season on ducks and geese, running from November 6 through January 4, has been favorable. The fact the season extends through the Christmas holidays has pleased gunners on the Gulf Coast. The Executive Secretary said North Texas hunters understand ably were disappointed again at not being zoned like the mourning dove upper state shoot. He said Holstein - Friesian Cows Set Records Among registered Holstein-Frie- sian cows in Texas whose recently completed production records were recorded by the Herd Improvement Registry Department of The Hol- tein-Friesian Association of America are the following: Owned by The Neale Farms, Waco—Texans Superb Ranger Co- lantha, 590 pounds butterfat, 17,- 808 pounds milk, 365 days, 3 milk ings daily, 4 years 9 months of age. Owned by Texas Technological College, Lubbock — Tech Premier Colantha, 920 pounds butterfat, 23,472 pounds milk, 365 days, 3 milkings daily, 7 years 11 months of age. Owned by Saxet Farms, Natalia —Ollie Korndyke Cornucopia, 678 pounds butterfat, 21,506 pounds milk, 365 days, 3 milkings daily, 8 years 2 months of age. Testing was supervised by A&M, in cooperation with The Holstein- Fidesian Association of America. prospects of a late flight from the north as reported in Washington should help compensate for the difference. The United States Fish and Wild life Service, which has final au thority over seasons for migratory waterfowl, generally followed the request by the Game and Fish Commission for a 60 day season, a limit of five and ten for ducks and a limit of five for geese. That extra hour tagged to the day’s shooting period, extending legal gunning to sunset, will have no appreciable affect, the Execu tive Secretary said. “Waterfowl are too smart,” he explained. “It will be rough on them for the first few days but they soon catch on. After they get wise, they simply won’t move around much until aft er the shooting stops. In this case, the ducks and geese simply will have to delay moving into feeding grounds and back up their supper another hour.” Mitchell Loses To Puryear in 8-7 Tilt Puryear Hall edged by Mitchell Hall 8-7 Monday in an intramural softball game which hurt Mitchell’s chances for second place in the league. It looked like a sure win for Mitchell as they monopolized scor ing with a 7-1 lead until the bot tom of the sixth wfien Puryear came back with six runs to tie the score at seven-all. Bud William son made a run for Puryear in the bottom of the seventh to end the game. Law Hall, also a contender for second place, forfeited to College View and lessened their chances in the intramural softball race. DYERS FUR STORAGE HATTERS moDican 210 S.
