Creep Feeding Calves Gains in Popularity Breeders Find it Pays In Time Saved, Money Cattle breeders throughout the nation are paying more and more attention these days to their young ! calves to secure maximum retunj {from their herds. Gaming in popularity is creep feeding of calves which has been used by cattlemen from the Dako tas to Florida. Some producers con- The creep used to feed calves at the Norris Cattle Company's 36,000-acre ranch at Ocala, Florida, was made by wire high enough to permit calves easy entrance, and low enough to keep out the cows. tend that creep feeding will add 100 pounds to the weight of a calf by the time it is weaned. , Although all cattlemen are not agreed as to the kind and percent ages of feed used in creeps, most of them use a mixture of oats and corn with added protein calf sup plement. Creep feeding is usually started with oats and the corn is added gradually. Some stockmen contend that creep feeding on pasture will save up to a month in getting beef calves on full feed after weaning. Creep feeding, however, is only a part of the nation-wide trend of cattlemen of better feeding, better housing, and careful handling of calves. Fanners Discover Average Flock Is Big Money Maker The farm flock is coming into its own, sheep experts report Long known by-the good shepherd to be a highly valuable piece of farm property, it is now being dis covered by the experts to be the most profitable livestock on the farm, when judged on the solid basis of profit produced per $100 of feed. The old values of the farm flock are there as always. The new val ues are in the relatively high prices of market lambs and wool, which prices spring from the supply and demand factors. Sheep numbers In the United States are the lowest in 85 years. There were 52,000,000 head of stock sheep in 1940; there are 27,000,000 head now. Also, the native flock of sheep is in better position than eftrer in com petition with the western feeder lamb. For one thing, the cost of rail haul from the range to the midwest feed lot has sharply increased. For another, the demand from the west coast for lambs for slaughter has sharply increased with the rise of west coast human population. And so it is that the flock of sheep on the home farm in the up per midwest is a more and more valuable property.

Answer: As a rule, yes, if he seri ously wants to. It is true he may be sorry later, but if he develops a real wish for further education he will find some way to get it. Meanwhile, he wbuld get little bene fit from studying if he felt that he was being forced to do it. The fact that you got a great deal out of go ing to college—or have always wished you could have done so— does not mean your children will feel the same way. And they should choose their careers, not for pres tige, but because they are fitted for them. Is belief in magic universal? , Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Geza Roheim in "Psychoanalysis and the Social Sciences." Psychoanalytic anthropology can demonstrate that regardless of training or cultural background, every individual and every social group goes through a phase of believing in magic—in the power of a "wish," for instance. Such a belief is necessary as a ste*. in the transition from the child’s first recognition of his helplessness to acceptance of "reality," with its implied dependence upon learning and conforming to the laws of nature. Is psychoanalysis “a branch of medicine”? Answer: Not in the belief of its originator. Dr. Sigmund Freud. It is, as he wrote, “part of psycho logy; not medical psychology in the old meaning of the word, nor psy chology of the pathological process, but pure psychology." Medicine has used psychoanalysis in the cure of mental illness just as it uses chemistry and physics in dealing with physical ailments, but each science still has other uses and medicine has no monopoly of any of them. One need not be a physi cian to understand or alleviate the effects of a loveless childhood.

Barton D URING THE 1920’s there was a wave of enthusiasm for the "boyish” figure, and reducing diets, some sensible and some dangerous, became popular. The sensible diets were those which covered a long range, many months, in fact, be cause physicians and overweight pa tients recognized that the excess fat did not accumulate on the body in a matter of days or weeks. The dangerous reducing diets were those in which the food intake was too greatly reduced, especially pro teins (meat, eggs, fish), and where thyroid extract, or drugs which re duced the desire for food, were taken. What about weight and health? It might be well to repeat the words of Drs. McCollum and Beck er in their book, "Food, Nutrition and Health." "There is likely to be something wrong with the health of one who is either too thin or too fat. What we call normal weight is associated with a store of fat sufficient to give the body that symmetry which we associate with a sense of well-being. Graceful contour or shape of body can only exist when there is sufficient pad ding of fat beneath the skin to fill up hollows and irregularities of the surface. The fat around the kidneys helps to support them and a nor mal amount of fat in the folds of tissues helps to hold the abdominal organs* up in their proper places. A normal fat reserve is a great protection against cold. It is one evidence of a state of good nutri tion." If, then, fat is so helpful to the appearance and health of the body, why do physicians advise against the accumulation of fat? It is because the experience of physicians and statistics of insur ance companies show the unfavor able effects of overweight on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and pancreatic gland (diabetes). The evidence clearly proves that over weight hurries the progress of dis eases of these organs. Parts of the body are known to be fat depots and if excess fat accumu lated only in these places it would not be a menace to health, as there are times when a little extra fat is an asset, not a liability to health. * HEALTH NOTES ★ A rapid heart beat is often due to nervousness. • • * A more widespread effort should be made to find persons with tuber culosis while the disease is in its early stages. • • • High blood pressure is not a dis ease, but a sign, like the fever or headache accompanying a cold.

THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. TMC Town tfPOPTEP IN WASHINGTON W A L Tfc R SMCAD. WNU Correspondent Inflation Battle T HE QUESTION of whether we are winning the inflation fight, which is an integral factor In the fight against communism, is prob ably the most discussed topic in the nation today, especially here in Washington. From the political angle, it de pends on which side of the fence you are standing; from the econom ic angle it depends on whether you are looking at the picture from an immediate dollars and cents angle or from the perspective of the long pull. The most important question, however, is whether the American people are really trying to win this fight, whether they are back of the program now in effect wholeheart edly, or whether they are standing aside and watching the men placed in charge of the controls agencies butt their heads ineffectually against a stone wall. Allan Kline, president ‘ of the AFBF, says, "We are opposed to price, wage and ration controls." Price and wage controls are in effect. He further says the real cure lies in increased production, strict government economy, pay-as- we-go taxation, effective credit con trols, and sound management of the public debt. We have increased pro duction. We have credit controls and a pay-as-we-go tax has been asked for by the President. Wheth er we have strict government econ omy or sound management of the public debt, is another moot ques tion. Labor leaders have walked out of the controls picture. They call it a "lockout." Walter Reuther, UAW-CIO president, says the "so- called price control order is a fraud on the American people." Thus we have leaders of the two largest segments of the people opposed to efforts now being made to halt price rises and inflation. Certainly there is no spirit of cooperation manifest there. Now comes Eric Johnston, the di rector of economic stabilization, who says both labor and farmers are wrong. Johnston admits in the seven weeks he has been boss of the stabilization program nothing spec tacular has happened, that cost and wage increases have not stopped. But, he says the rate in increase has been stopped and "that’s the first victory in battling inflation." * • • Admits Mistakes Johnston admits he has made mistakes, that he will make more, that he has much to learn, that he has stepped on toes, but that his choice has been between making painful progress forward, step by step, or being frightened to a stand still by people who yell "ouch.” Johnston says he believes the farm er wants fair treatment and equal consideration, that industry wants the same thing, that labor wants that too, that all farmers, labor and industry are equally determined to do what is necessary to preserve a free America. But what they seek is only what THEY consider fair treat ment for themselves. So what is fair treatment, he asks? No group is going to agree exactly with the others, or with him. But there must be an umpire. So umpiring will be his job and he’s going to "call ’em like I see ’em." # * • Washington Silhouettes One of the most venerable figures around Washington and the national press club is an old-timer—tall, lean, white-thatched Earl Venable, who came down here as a young newspaper man as secretary to Senator Borah back in 1908. For the past twelve years he has been secretary to the national Repub lican congressional committee. Be fore coming to Washington he was editor of the Idaho Statesman at Boise, and his father, Bert Venable, was a printer and publisher of the weekly Payette Independent, where Earl cut his newspaper teeth. Only recently Earl was retired as active secretary of the committee, ‘al though he is retained in a consultive capacity . . . Senator Malone of Nevada has introduced a weed con trol bill . . . While the senate crime investigating committee is investi gating gambling and horseracing, some members of congress almost daily visit the race tracks near Washington—these include Laurel, Bowie, Charlestown and Pimlico. * * * More Agents Needed FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover has asked congress for an additional $26,000,000 to hire more agents. Hoover says Communists are “un derground to a greater degree than ever before but that the FBI knows pretty much what they are doing." * * * Victory Gardens Apropos of rising food prices, the senate agriculture committee says that more food can be purchased with the pay of an hour of factory labor today than in either 1947-48, or in pre-war years. And remember the victory gardens during the war? The department of agriculture is fostering the planting of thousands of home gardens to grow more food during Ihe defense mobilization emergency. / Serve Pork Roast for Savory Dinner (See Recipes Below) Economical Pork Dinners ..PORK HAS ALWAYS been a fa vorite meat on American tables.
