You know that it was either the buffalo or our necks. As long as the buffalo abounded, it was simply im possible to vanquish the In dians from the plains. They made monkeys of the U. S. Army as long as they had their food supply—plenty of buffalo. The story of these buffalo days is one of the great sagas of America, and yet, according to historical writer Charles Roth, it is doubtful if any other subject so close to home is so much misunderstood. Most of us have a mental picture of a man riding along side of a shaggy beast firing his rifle directly into the huge body. This running method was merely a show-offs way, and only amataur exhibition ists with horseflesh to spare used it. i The professional hunter used a much more prosaic system which made up for its lack of drama by being about 500 times more effective. It was Known as “hunting from a stand,” and was developed be cause some smart bird discov ered an interesting quirk in buffalo psychology. First was that far from roam ing the plains in herds number ing millions, the buffalo nor mally was an animal that ran in small groups of 10 or 20 individuals in charge not of a bellowing bull, but of an old cow. Second was that if you iso lated one of these groups and shot the leader through the lungs, so as to make her bleed the others wouldn’t take flight, but just hang around until you could shoot down every mem ber of the gang. It was as exciting as shooting a dairy herd in somebqdy’s barnyard. The buffalo’s disposition did n’t help him preserve himsdlf for posterity either. He was about the most stupid animal that crowded into the ark. He had almost no protective equip ment. His eyesight was poor, his hearing even poorer, and he couldn’t smell. He wasn’t pugnacious; his only instinct was to run. And he had such a low animal I.Q. that he did n’t even think of running when his mama was shot. So he was doomed. BLDG. SUPPLIES—J.

C. l|28-2|25c Better Cattle For Newberry The Newberry Artificial Breding Association was or ganized in March, 1948 and started operation April 6, 1948. It was organized to improve the quality of cattle in New berry County through the use of some of the best bulls in America today. It was oi> ganized mainly to help the people who own a few cows and cant afford to keep a bull to get these cows bre4 to top- production-bred sires. Newberry isn’t - the only county to take this progres sive step to improve the quali ty of dairy cattle. Artificial breeding service is also avail able ill Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, York, Laurens and Orangeburg Counties and Rich land county is now organizing. All bulls used by these coun ties are kept at Clemson Col lege and semen is mailed to the County Association three times each week. The Newberry Breeding Co op. has a lab at the County Agent’s Office. The semen is processed here and calls are made as the cow owners call in each morning. All calls have to be in by 10:30 a.m. as the Technician leaves the lab at this time. The advantages of artificial insemination are many. They are as follows: 1. Use the highest produc tion-bred bulls of the dairy breed. 2. Stop the spread of disease carried by natural breeding. 3. Do away with the dan gerous bull. 4. Eliminate investment in bulls; cut out the feed bill; do away with bull pen and bull houses. 1 5. Stop the breeding of in ferior cattle for all time. All cow owners in Newberry County are urged to join their neighbors in this county wide dairy cattle improvement pro gram. About 150 farmers joined the Association when it first or ganized. You do not have tg be a membej to use this ser vice. It is available to every cow owner in Newberry Coun- New Pontiac on Display at Hayes Motor Co.

The serice fee is $5.00 and if the cow. does not settle on first service she will be re bred free of charge. About 70% of all cows bred settle on first service and about 27% have to be re-bred. The re sults are equal to natural breeding. Over 500 cows have been bred artificially to date and it is expected that this number will -greatly increase as the people realize what a great improvement in the quali ty of dairy cattle this will make. Any one interested in seeing some of these calves may see them at Frank Senn’s, Route 3, Newberry, Mr. J. F. Hawkins, R-4, Newberry. Mr. Y. T. Dic- kert, Nance Street, Newberry, and Mr. John Long near Mt. Pilgrim’s church, Prosperity. There are. many more but these are the first ones to be drop ped. , Any one desiring additional information about the artifi cial breeding program in New berry County may get this in formation by calling at the County A "^nt’s Office or by phoning 994. Farmers who are interested are invited to visit the Lab any morning between 8 and 10:30 a.m. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' CANCER SOCIETY CONTEST All high school stucjpnts in Newberry County are eligible for th e county-wide and state wide story and poster contests l^ing held by the South Caro lina Division of the American Cancer Society, Mrs. B.
