And this failure occurred in a hot bed of unionism Joanna Western is thought to be the only plant its size in Chicago which is not a union plant •Tt is\i tribute to the intelligence of Joannk Western employees that .they think for themselves instead of falling for the propaganda (often misleading or false.) of agitators.

Birth dates and birth weight are recorded. At about 7 months of age, the calf is weighed again and given a grade. The calf will be "scored" on rate of gain and conformation. Using 100 as an “average” score, calves scoring above will be kept—those below, probably sold.
