The station personnel felt that the fescue-coastal bermuda was the system to follow. That is, coastal for summer and fes cue for winter. This, of course, would mean using more nitro gen. This system bore out the fact that grasses were supe rior during dry periods. Ac cording to the station person nel, coastkl bermuda grass demonstrated in the study that it would form a very im portant part of the program even on the heavy Piedmont clay soil. The average yield of 434 pounds of beef per acne from the grass system was recorded. At V. P. I. we saw some very fine beef cattle work be ing carried out. They had done some cross breeding that we had read so much about. Aetarding to the infor mation given to us, the calf crop was increased by about 10 per owbt through cross breeding? This Was by far the most itnprotaht factor in emu breeding, acording to station jetsoftbel. Of course, as one Would expect, there was an increase in rate of gain. This was not as impor tant as the increased per cent in calf crop. We saw some fine beef cat tle work being done at the Statesville Flour Mills Com pany at Statesville, N. C. They had a horned Hereford herd of beef cattle and were producing unusually heavy calves. We were told that calves should be wormed at least twice by the time they reach feeder calf age. They felt that this was one of the most profitable management practices they were doing. We also visited the Will- Via Hereford Farm at States ville. This is an outstanding herd of cattle that many of our Laurens County produc ers are familiar with. This was a very educational tour and I enjoyed and appre ciated the opportunity of be ing able to go on it. C. McSween, in DeFuniak Springs, Fin. Friends of Lt. Lonnie S.
