You'll Find
Cowboys In
California
RIVERSIDE, Calif. 'UPD
Memo to eastern city slickers: If
you're looking for cowboys, don't
to Wyoming or Texas.
:ome to California's Imperial
Valley.
So says farm adviser James B.
Burgess of El Ccntro. Calif., who
has taken a long hard look at
the Imperial Valley, which has
become the leading cattle feeding
center in the United States dur
ing the past 12 years.
Imperial Valley has more
cowboys per square mile than
the slate of Wyoming, said Bur
pess. "But it's not like the Old
West because we don't go in for
roping and throwing cattle these
animals have to be babied to
save every pound of grain for
Hie market.
Cattle Raised Elsewhere
Oddly enough, practically none!
of the half million head of cat
tie fed in the valley are raised
there.
The animals pour in from Ida
ho, Montana, Colorado and Texas.
Beef on the hoof move in and
out of the valley like stocks and
bonds in Wall Street. The owner
of a shipment may never see hisi
livestock.
He lifts a telephone and Im
perial Valley firms do the rest.
The valley's climate, according
(o Burgess, is ideal for cattle fin
ishing except during ils blistering
July, August and September.
Feeders overcome this disad
vantage by providing well-ventilated
shades, cool water and spe.
cial hot-weather rations.
Besides these items. Burgess
said, animals are tailormade'
to withstand heat, having varying
amounts of Brahma blood to give
them high heat tolerance.
Big Obstacle
Until recent years, summer
heat was so big an obstacle that
the feeding industry remained
comparatively small.
In the 1930s, the valley's 80,
000-head feeding industry ground
to a halt.
Ten years later, Hie industry
had grown moderately to a peak
of 160,000 head. But still heat
Stood in the way of a major up-
.surge in numbers.
. In 1046, the University of Cali
fornia sparked the cattle-feeding
."industry as it is known today by
; setting up research facilities to
find heat-tolerant cattle, inv
-proved shading and better hoi
weather feed.
With better rail and truck serv
ice and spurred on by a rising
demand for meat in Southern,
California, Imperial County dou
bled ils cattle-fcedini from 19301
to 1930.
In 1951, according to Burgess
the cattle feeding graph shot up
even faster, registering a 390 peri
cent increase to the 1962 figure
o 549,000 head.

EXPLANATIONS ACROSS
1. When CLUTCHES in cars
slip, there is bound to be trouble
until they are fixed. When
CRUTCHES slip they may merely
be leaning against a wall and
cause little or no trouble at all.
7. If a message is to be private,
we should never write it on s
POSTAL that anyone can read,
A message on a PORTAL or door
could be written on the inside
and erased after the person with
a key returns.
8. A WEE cottage in the woods
could be picturesque but imprac-j
tical if a family were large. a
WET cottage might be large, per
fectly dry inside and most prac
tical.
11. Even experienced travelers
sometimes have trouble keeping
TABS on their luggage when it
is checked from one point to
another. They do not keep TAGS
on their luggage but tear them
off when it is shipped to the
next place although this is not
always so with travel labels,
14. We Usually ADMIRE the
people we love although not al
ways. We do not usually ADVISE
them but more often seek their1
advice unless they are very young
children.
15. Tne magnificent stallion
could be the sire of a wretched
MARE or female horse. MALE,
would only be correct if it re
ferred to a horse.
16. Painting in a tropical TONE
is apt to include palm trees some
where in the artist's work. Paint
ing in a tropical ZONE might
include house painting but cer
tainly not palm trees.
17. To avoid CRLMPS or those
who enforce men into shipping
as sailors against their Will, one
should slay away from the water
where such people hunt. CRAMPS
are apt to exist anywhere,
regardless of water.

2. A child who is constantly

3. Shortly before Christmas,1

All people who seem to EXUDE
or give out with trouble seem
to find it no effort.
An expensive protrait may

it would be known as a FAKE
8. Most men live according to

9. Scenery is destroyed by the
billboards PASTED along high
ways. Not only the billboards
PASSED but those ahead destroy
the scenery.
10. Champion bridge players
know a good BID more than the
average player. They may not
know a good BIT more than the
average player knows about other
things.
12. The weaker the man. the
more he might depend upon his
KIN for support. A very weak
man physically might have no
taste for GIN at all.
13. Some girls invite a con
spicuous JEER br shout of de
rision because of their clothes
or actions. A LEER or immodest
glance would not always be conspicuous.
15. You could hardly describe
a salesman as MIM or affectedly;!
shy or modest. You could describe
him as MUM or silent if he did
not want to accept your price.
Staff Of 12,000 Record Weather Daily In U.S.
WASHINGTON IL'PH - There
are now more than 12.000 volun
tary, unpaid observers in the
United States who record weather
data every day.
Most of their work consists ol
making a simple, climalological
observation such as measuring
rainfall or snowfall, checking the
high and low temperatures, rec
ording this data and mailing it
to the nearest Weather Bureau.
Does anyone use this data? Do
the observations serve any good
purpose other than to satisfy sci
entific curiosity? The answer is
an emphatic "yes." by J. H. Hag
arty, head of the Office of Clima
tology of the V. S. Weather
Bureau.
He said the bureau receives
many requests for data. The re
quests are examined to determine
the area in question, length ol
record needed and specific weath-
elements involved. The re
quired data, or the next best sub
stitute, are then collected, ex
amined and furnished to the ap
plicant.
Uses Of Records
Haearty has compiled many ol
the ways in which weather rec
ords from the observers may be
used. They include:
Planning hospital design and
construction.
-Evaluating the prospects of
commercial agriculture in Arizo
na and in Florida, and deciding
whether or not to buy land in
New Mexico.
Making an industrial survey
for a New Jersey area.
Correlating new home build
ing starts with weather data.
Evaluating insurance liability
risks, verifying and paying insur
ance claims.
Committee Sets
Scenic Regions
SALEM (UPIi The Oregon
Scenic Area Commission has es
tablished scenic areas along 78
miles of the Santiam Highway
from Salem to Sisters, it was an
nounced Friday.
The scenic designation had been
petitioned by Mill City garden and
woman's clubs.
The clubs had sought to make
the full route from the Salem
bypass to the Sisters City Limits
a scenic zone, but the commission
declined to set aside 29 miles, ac
cording to chairman A. N. Weir.
Under the scenic areas act, the
commission may establish scenic
areas along public highways
which have views of unusual na
tural b e a u ty or have historical
significance.
No advertising signs are per
mitted in a scenic site except cer
tain directional and on-premise
signs. Existing signs must be re
moved within seven years.
The scenic belt extends 600 feet
deep along both sides of the highway.
Presentation of evidence in a
murder trial.
A study of the effect of weath
er on mortality in New York
city.
A comparison of climates in
the United States where turkeys
are grown with the climate of a
turkey farm in Chile where the
lowner wished to import stock.
Study Climate Changes
Hagarty said an interesting use
r ian,Mr3iiir. Azl a is In attemot
I Ul IC1I1IV,U1 ' ,
to determine if the climate ac
tually is changing and, if so, in
I w hat way. Accurate temperature
I readings are vital to such studies,
and these readings should be made
under virtually unchanged con
ditions over a long period of time.
He caid fuel suppliers base their
operations on temperatures. So do
those concerned with heme and
other building design and con
struction. Hagarty said that without the
corps of volunteer observers,
"the myriad weather needs of our
citizens would not be met."
