Another main speaker, Dr. W.
Erady Anthony of the Auburn Uni
versity Department of Animal
Husbandry, said a good goal in
raising quality beef is to use sys
tems to produce slaughter cattle
1 that will finish at Good to Choice
|i grades at around 1,000 pounds live
h weight at 18 months of age.
I He said feed for the brood cow
'«! § herd must be low cost roughage
materials. Small grain-clover pas
tures are useful in creeping calves
while nursing their dams.
Opportunity for further improve
ment in systems for growing
young cattle is most promising
with harvested and processed feeds,
but is limited with grazing corps.
He said an economical and satis
factory dry lot finishing ration, in
per cent, is as follows: Ground
snapped corn, 49; cottonseed meal,

Premix, at 0.8 pounds a ton, is
currently used.
Mixture Full Fed
The mixture is full fed from the
first day in the feedlot, Anthony
said.
Dr. Elton L. Johnson of the Uni
versity of Minnesota discussed
“Feeding Programs for Turkeys.”
He said studies in Minnesota
have shown that there is a slight
advantage in growth rate and feed
conversion over a period of sev
eral years by the use of prestarter
feed during the first three weeks
of a turkey brooder program.
Maximum growth and feed con
version, however, is not always the
most economical method of produc
ing turkeys, he said. Relationship
of costs per pound of feed and re
turns per pound of turkey must be
considered in whether the more ex
pensive formulation of a prestarter
is justified.
Although crumble feed during
the brooder period showed advan
tage to improve growth, the com
bination program of a prestarter
and starter was more efficient in
feed conversion.
During the range period, the
types of programs tried in Minne
sota were complete feed in mash
form, complete feed in crumble or
pellet form, free-choice of mash
and grain, and restricted mash
feeding.
Johnson said the heaviest tur
keys were usually produced on pel
let or crumble feed.
The female reproductive tract in
swine is sensitive to many influ
ences, but the one most likely to
affect the majority of gilts and
sows is feeding, according to Dr.
R. H. Grummer of the University
of Wisconsin.
Discussing “Feeding for Great
er Reproduction Performance In
Swine,” the speaker said inheri
tance, on the average, has a rela
tively mild effect on litter size,
accounting for only about 15 per
cent of the variation in number of
pigs farrowed. But environment is
responsible for the remaining 85
per cent.

The Aggie Rodeo drew a record
crowd last year, with interest
shown by local and distant fans.
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Battalion Feature Editor .
For many Aggies, home seems
a long way off, but for Sushanta
Kumar Banerjee, his wife, Sumi-
tra, and small son, Sumanta, of
A-12-B College View, home is over
12,000 miles away in Patna, India.
Banerjee is working on his Ph.D.
degree from A&M in agronomy,
having received his M.S. from the
college in 1956. He first graduated
from the University of Patna with
a degree in agriculture in 1948,
and worked in the field of agricul
ture for the provincial state gov
ernment in his state.
“It was through my introduction
to Jack Gray, who was working
for A&M in India, that I first be
came interested in studying here.
In 1955, I was fortunate enough
to come to the United States to
study; it was a year apart from
my family, but the advantages I
gained here were conducive to my
being able to return for a Ph.D.,
and bring my family along,” said
Banerjee.
Only 4,000 Miles Away
Banerjee has figured that al
though he must travel 12,000 miles
to school and back home, he is in
reality only 4,000 miles from his
native land.
“Where I stand right now is a
location directly opposite the por
tion of the Earth where India lies,
and if I were to drill a hole
through the earth, I would probab
ly hit India,” said Banerjee.
Concerning his preliminary edu
cation, Banerjee said his school
classes through high school were
taught in his native language, Ben
gali, which stems from the adjoin
ing province of Bengal, although
English was required to be taught
in the school.
“Until very recently, English
was the only language spoken in jyears, we have acquired our inde-1 is being used now, in the schools,”
the Indian schools, but in recent [pendence and the native language I said Banerjee.
