300 Attend
Dedication,
Field Day
More than 300 persons at
tended the City Farm and
Ranch Club Field Day and
Dairy Center dedication here
Thursday.
They heard Dean C. N. Shepard-
son of the School of Agriculture
pledge the Dairy Center to the
continued improvement and growth
of the relatively new dairy indus
try in the state.
Four departments in the School
of Agriculture provided the pro
gram for the day. They were
agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy
husbandry and range and forestry.
Special buses and automobiles
carried the group to field labora
tory areas of the range and fores
try and agronomy departments
where they saw examples of brush
control by aerial and ground
sprays, fall and spring burning
and other cultural improvement
practices for range reclamation,
and imported grasses under test
in the introductory nursery.
After lunch they watched lab
oratory demonstrations of compari
sons between meat- and fat-type
carcasses of hogs and cattle for
market purposes, and were shown
differentials between the price paid
by the producer and that paid by
the consumer of meats.
Moving to the college’s new
$400,000 dairy center, the group
got a quick look at the milking
operation in the modern milking
parlor, saw grazing management
practices followed by the depart
ment, then moved to the new breed
ing center for the dedication.
Dr. I. W. Rupel, head of the
dairy husbandry department, was
master of ceremonies; Rev. Nolan
Vance of the First Methodist
church at College Station asked
the invocation, and Shepardson was
the principal speaker.
The group also saw collection of
semen from a member of the cen
ter’s bull stud, and the artificial
insemination of a cow.
