Almost as intricate as making cake, is their technical method of mixing feed for the beef calves. Into the mixture goes oats, barley, grindings, and cot ton seed cakes to supply pa la. tability, proper nutrition, and other fine phases of the calf's diet, it was explained by Clay ton Charley and Merton Brad' haw, whose demonstration team won the contest.

"It's been the finest group of youngsters, all from the farms, I've ever worked with," declared G. E. Ousterhout of Little Butte, president of the 4-H Leaders' association, In com menting on the entire show. And it was agreed by Glenn Smith of Ruch, superintendent of the dairy division, that finer cooperation from the children couldn't have been asked for.
