The County Agents Column ONE OUT OF FOUR GO: We are told by some of the countries leading dairy research scientists that about one out of every four dairy animals in a milking herd must be re placed each year with a young homegrown heifer or a pur chased cow if the herd is to be kept at the same size. When a good job of calf raising is done, it is usually more econo mical to raise the needed re placements than to purchase them. The ability of a dairy animal to respond to good feeding and management is in herited from its sire and dam. It is easy to see that your fu ture success in the dairy busi ness depends upon the care with which you select bulls to breed the cows in your herd and the level of management practiced in caring for the cal ves and the milking herd. Re search proves the importance of colostrum (first milk) to the health of the calf. Make sure the calf does nurse soon after birth as possible. The colostrum received is high in energy, pro tein, vitamins, and disease-re gamma globulins. The same re search shows it also contains substances capable of protect ing calves against virus pneu monia and some types of scours. The calf has a low storage ca pacity for disease-fighting vita min A and must obtain it from the colostrum. The colostrum received in the first 15 to 20 minutes after birth may be more effective in helping fight disease than that received af ter the first hour. Feed ade quate amounts of colostrum for three to five days after birth for healthier calves. Also small, frequent feedings are probably more effective than two large feedings a day.

"Whatsoever Things By DONALD E. WILDMON rr Minister Lee Acres united Methodist Church TUPELO. MISSISSIPPI “THERE COMES A TIME . . . It was several years ag:o now that Jim Vans came out of service from the Second World War. In the service, he had learned much about electronics. Many folks would have considered him a master in the field. At least his bosses thought he was pretty 'ood. Jim Vaus was working for a group of organized gamblers following that devastating war. He made good money. That’s what most criminals— gamblers or businessmen—are looking for. Jim got the jobs—such as wire tapping—and got the good payoffs. Waiting For His Flight One night Jim was waiting for a flight to St. Louis from Los Angeles and had some time to kill. Billy Graham was preaching in a crusade in Los Angeles and by some quirk of fate—Providence perhaps—Jim Vaus wandered into the place where Dr. Graham was preaching. Seemingly in different to the words of the famed evangelist, Jim stood near the back of the hall. He didn’t want to go too far inside. He was just curious, and was planning on leaving as soon as the “show” was over. As he always does, Dr. Graham gave the invitation for those who would give their life to the Carpenter from Nazareth to come forward during the singing of a hymn. As the crowd sang, a hand tapped Jim Vaus on the should er and he heard a voice speak. “Will you go forward with me?” the gentle man asked. In natural reaction, Jim Vaus turned on him. “Lay off me or I will knock your head off,” Jim blurted out. The soft-spoken man spoke again: “You can do anything you like to me but that won’t right things between you and God.” It must have seemed like ages, but it was just a matter of seconds till Jim Vaus took that first step toward the altar. Each step came easier. With emotion showing in his face, Jim walked down that aisle vowing to make a clean break with the past, to change things, to settle the matter be tween him and his Creator. At the altar that night, Jim put away the old Jim Vaus and put on a new one. He went away from that meeting a changed man. His break with the past was almost as dramatic as that of the Jewish tentmaker Paul. Time For Decision There comes a time in every man’s life when such a decision has to be made. H has to look at himself, ask himself some deep questions, and come face to face with the facts. The result isn’t always like that of Jim Vaus. Many times when the time comes for the decision we just ignore it, pre tending it isn’t there, giving no thought to our Creator and our Car penter. Back in the 1800’s James Russell Lowell wrote: “Once to every man and nation comes the moment to de cide, in the strife of truth and false hood, for the good or evil side .... Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, till the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.” This could be your moment. For Jim Vaus the moment he made his decision was probably the last one he would have had. You see, the plane he didn’t catch that night was met in St. Louis by gunmen who had orders to kill him. How many more chances do you have? Are you sure about that? — FIVE STAR week Nancy Ruff received fourth place recognition. Nancy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Henry Ruff, Rt. 2, Newberry.
