Another outstanding herd sire
has been added to the Frank
Anderson registered Herefords.
Frank, consistently striving to
raise the top Herefords available,
has added to his bull battery
last week H Zato Commander II,
A February junior yearling, son
of M Zato Commander. 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

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

bundles and label. These can be

many have been checking again
on recommendations the last
week or two, we would again
like to point out some factors
concerning vitamin A deficiency.
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
