He Is a double bred T R Zato Heir and was purchased at Hudspeth Land and Livestock Company sale on December 11. The bull will be used in selective breeding along with three other herd sires which Frank owns. This bull with other top sires and his top pick of 20 cows from the Paul Miller Hereford herd ranch last summer should put Frank even futher ahead as a purebred Hereford breeder. Now is the time for those "green thumbs" who are inter ested, to make hardwood cut tings for propagation of new plants. These cuttings are made from the new wood of 1959 which has now gone dormant. A few of the more common plants that are often Increased In this way are currents, forsythla, goose berry," honeysuckle, lilac, poplar, snowberry, spirea, and willow. Some of these are quite easy to root while others are harder. Cut tings are made from six to ten Inches long, cutting slightly be low a joint or node and about an inch above the top joint. A sharp knife or shears should be used. Bundle the cuttings in a convenient size bundle, tapping the bottom on a solid surface to even the cuttings. Tie in bundles and label. These can be stored on end or side in damp but not wet peat, sand, shingle tow or spaghmum moss in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees for rapid callousing. After that the temperature should be drop ped to 32 to 40 degrees to pre vent top growth.

The comments were a result of discussions at the 1958 stockmen's short course held at Washington State College.

First, it might be well to point out that cattle store a quantity of vitamin A in their liver which, if they do not need to start draw ing on it before calving time, tides them over, even though poorer quality hay is used, un til spring grass comes. In a fall like this where little green grass was available, pregnant cows could begin using their stored vitamin A quite early in the fall. While the question of amounts of vitamin A required by cattle is open for debate, there does seem to be some agreement that levels needed for maintenance might have been estimated too low. A Figure that we like to use as a compromise between various authorities is at least 250,000 units of vitamin A daily for pregnant beef cows. There are several methods of providing vitamin A among them are in silage, alfalfa hay and synthetic supplement. Fifteen to 20 pounds daily of good sun cured alfalfa hay will provide 225,000 to 250,000 units. Poor quality hay will provide about half of these values. If haying time was wet and rainy; if the hay was cut at over half bloom; or it the storage time has reached about six months, then a probable de ficlency is almost inevitable. If no hay is being fed then we are setting up conditions for abor tion, a'tained placentas and in fections of the reproductive tract, and calves that will be born weak and small. The best pre vention is to start feeding hay early and feed the second cutting which Is generally more green and leafy. Feed a good vitamin A ad ditive with iodized salt and bone meal from now on until the grass Is good or even a little longer. This is a practical pro gram that will pay dividends In better stronger calves and a better breeding rate as well as Lexington News By DELPHA JONES ThP Lexineton P-TA met at the school auditorium on Tues day night for their regular meet ing.
