ATT/ Computers, novations IB Nuclear In Beef Energy, Business Automatic computers may some etc., and give the portions for mix- day come into standard use to figure marketing conditions, ra tions and other complex items in in the highly efficient beef cattle feed lot. This look into the future was made by W. J. Graff, A&M’s dean of instruction and one of the main speakers at the 12th annual Beef Cattle Short Course held here July 30-Aug. 1. Talking on “Application of Mod ern Engineering Principles to Beef Production,” he said the computers were originally designed to handle needs of engineers and scientists, but they can be adapted to feed lot operations. “The computer can pull from its memory the necessary component facts about hormones, nutrition, ing a*feed,” he said. “Computers will list the various possibilities for a decision, recall last year’s prices, and permit the farmer to make a true management decision.” He described how, for example, the entire life span of a calf could be programmed on a computer to determine when the animal should be marketed for the greatest profit. When to use supplementary feed concentrates, when to wean, when to pasture, when to market—all these problems could be answered in terms of retail beef prices. Nuclear energy is another tech nology that can possibly be adapted to beef production, Graff said. Gamma rays could be used in trans mission tests. By close correlation of radiation readings with conven tional measures of quality taken at the time of marketing, scales for use on live animals could be perfected. Another speaker, Zerle Carpen ter of the Animal Husbandry De partment, said ^ that after one month of operation, the U. S. De partment of Agriculture’s new dual grading system has not received much enthusiasm. The industry, from producer to packer, has ap parently taken on a wait-and-see attitude. Carpenter polled 18 major'pack ers in seven states and found that only one had requested dual grad ing service. ..During July only 2 per cent of the total federally graded beef in the United States was graded according to the new system.

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. With out a strong Church, neither de mocracy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They arc: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his' children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material sup port. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily. The dignity of willing labor is one of the prin ciples which Christianity has established among us. It is a natural by-product of a faith whose founder was the Carpenter of Nazareth, whose first adherents were fishermen of Galilee. Those who are eager to serve God and their fel low men find rich opportunities in the life of the Church. There are tasks for a man’s hands, for his voice, for his pen, for his mind. There are needs that our offerings cannot supply . . . challenges that call for the talents and time of earnest men and women. That friendly church which inspires us on Sunday is busy with the Lord’s work all week. That man in the next pew is finding new happiness in willing Christian service.

ICE CREAM MELLORINE SHERBET Soil Test Group Is Meeting This Week The Southern Soil Test Work Group, composed of representa tives from 13 states and Puerto Rico, are holding a conference in the Memorial Student Center this week. Function of the group is to pro vide exchange of information on the latest techniques in the science of soil testing. It also will consider soil test calibration and resulting limestone and fertilizer recommendations throughout the South, with an attempt to co-ordi nate efforts and standardize rec ommendations across state lines. The main speaker will be Dr. John J. Hanway, I’esearch agrono mist in soil testing at Iowa State University. His topic is “A Re view of Methods and Philosophy of Soil Test Correlation and Cali bration.” Program time was 2:30 p.m. the first day. Following registration, the group toured the A&M Soil Testing Laboratory. Meeting in conjunction with SSTWG is the Technical Commit tee of a Southern Regional Re search Project on Soil Test Cali bration. Committee chairman is Dr. Dennis Rouse, Auburn Uni versity agronomist. By BOB GRAY Written for The Associated Press Want to make money from the horse business? There’s a simple way to do it, says one of Texas’ most successful horse traders. Just buy ’em without their “Sun day clothes” on. That, in oversimplified terms, is one way George Tyler of Gaines ville, Tex., has made thousands of dollars in the last 35 years from buying and selling good stock horses. Short and wiry with a voice like a bass foghorn, Tyler knows all about the temptation to pay more than a horse is worth. He’s seen a lot of people do it in recent years as good Quarter Horses in par ticular rose well into the five- figure regions. His formula is this: “The way to make money from horses is buying them right. I never bought a horse right in my life that I had any trouble selling. If you get the ‘big eye’ on a horse and give too much for him, you’re liable to have trouble (selling him). But you make money when you buy a horse that does not have his Sunday clothes on. I mean by that his hair is long, his feet are un trimmed, he needs a lot of feed. It‘s kind of like a woman. She doesn’t look her best when she first get up in the morning. “She looks better after she combs her hair and fixes her face. KK’s Holding Hot Hubcaps Campus Security officers have their problems—they have some hot hubcaps on their hands. After recent arrests by the Bryan police department, a set of hubcaps, allegedly stolen on campus, has been returned to the officers. Anyone missing some hubcaps can check with the Campus Se curity Office and identify them. You take a horse that looks bad and make him look good—then you get paid for your work. You’re not paying somebody else to put the finish on that horse.” Tyler says he found this out when he began trading horses at the age of 17. He bought a Quarter-type gelding for $35, worked with him for three or four months and sold that horse for $100. “I broke him, put a little ‘handle’ on him, got him stopping, turning ai’ound good. Of course, he had a lot of naturral ‘cow’ in him. Then I trailed about 50 calves on him and went to roping oh him. The horse started doing good—and here came a man who wanted him,” re calls Tyler. As trader, breeder, exhibitor and rider, Tyler can ‘size up’ a horse in less than a minute—and decide whether he wants the animal or not. How? Like this: “Walk up to the horse at his head, straight from the front and look at both the animal’s eyes at the same time. Then look down at the horse and you”ll see the front of his legs. Walk around the horse to your right, get directly behind the horse and look at his legs. See if there are any scars on the back of his legs. From the back you’ll see whether he has a hip knocked down. Then when you walk on around to the other side you catch the light of the horse’s right eye and you see if there is any spot there. The spot means he has been hit in the eye. Often it won’t show up until you get him out in the light. He’ll have bad vision in that eye. “Then turn and look straight at the man and asked him: “I this animal sound?” If the man goes to stammering and stuttering, you better look at the horse again.” “But when you ask him that direct question and the man fires right back at you ‘Yes, this animal is sound’—then 99 times out ol 100 the animal is sound.” Ae/t&f WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT ALL SALES - GROCERIES - HUNTS — 46 oz cans TOMATO JUICE . . can 25c HUNTS — 300 Size Cans Solid Pack Tomatoes 2 for 39c HUNTS — 300 Size Cans FRUIT COCKTAIL . 5 for 99c HUNTS — 14 oz.
