Dr. McKenzie “also described an ex- nt made by Oregon ranchers “Finter, this 140-day feeding test cost $90 per head. The gains made by the 33 bulls that completed the test ranged from 3 pounds down to 1} pounds per day and the weight-gains put on the animals averaged from 13 cents per pound in the case of the fastest growers to 20 cents per pound on the animals that were less efficient at converting fodder into meat. Most significant, said Dr, McKenzie, was that the two best-looking bulls, ac- cording to conformation, were at the opposite poles in regard to efficiency in transforming feed into flesh. INHERITED TRAIT GAS AND GERM WARFARE These two types of attack are not new although germ warfare has been used on a limited scale up until now. Both are designed to destroy people, livestock and even crops. If gas is not fatal, it will incapacitate soldiers and home front workérs for long periods. Apart from this gas attack causes panic, which is what an enemy desires. AS WARFARE. While gas'warfare does not present as much danger as atomic attack it can be serious if weather conditions are favourable, depending the “feed into flesh” trait is inher on wind temperature and degree of moisture. The nature of the ter has much to do with the success of the attack. Open country allows in Tree ited to the extent of 80 percent, Dr. McKenzie declared.

The three most should be given to this factor when the purebred men make their decis- ions about bulls to head their breeding herds because the buyers soon may demand that purebred men produce information on the bulls rate of gain, Dr. McKenzie warned. He therefore urged the breeders to begin to “use the scales to find out what the cattle After a gas attack liquid and mud picked up on footwear is still are doing; there's not much work to dangerous material as are the vapors arising from liquid on the it, You need only weigh the cattle ground.

In the case of gas attack, keep your respirator handy, make sure it is always in good condition, practice putting it on quickly, do not touch any food or water in open containers. f ? ne = se : | Don’t take chances on a spoiled holiday!
