''''''''' ''''; EUGENE HANSEN ar Grass Feeding seems BLACKFOOTMeat to be an subject these days. It's just as important to know how to buy the different grades and cuts as how to raise and feed the beef, said 0, Elwood Manwaring agricultural instructor at the Blackfoot High School. Manwaring plans to start a class soon at, the high school for men and women interested In the art of buying the different cuts and grades of beet According to E. F. Rine-hea- rt University of Idaho extension animal husbandruman, the color of the meat and fat of beef depends entirely on the way it is fed. for instance; the dry fed animals have red meat and white fat while grass-fe- d animals produced yellow fat and dark meat. The packers pay 2 cents per pound more beef than grass-fe- d, for dry-fe- d he declared. The dry-fe- d beef will not shrink as much as , USAC grass-fe- . d. - In an experiment at the University at Caldwell last year they found it took 90 days hl the dry feed lot to rid an animal of the yellow fat after , be-b- ig fed on grass, he said. The university tops the marliet with 2 and 3 cents when their animals are sold because the packers know the meat will be right , ' 6...,' ' 4 ili ' '' , , ' , ,,' , ' ''' ,, n. r twee'''. , , - , ', ', ' .:'. , 'f.

Now only weighing five pounds, ten ounces, this potato once.balanced at an even six pounds when dug a few weeks ago. Gourdin's garden this year was a part of a plot previously planted to alfalfa. This fact probably accounts for the heavy yield which Mr. Gourdin and Lew Jones estimate as a "mighty big pile of spuds." The potato patch had not been Irrigated since the latter part of July, and these two men believe the shortage of water In the sail is the cause for the "knobby" potatoes.

The coyote, say the stockmen, is hep to this. They contend that hundreds of them stay in the park while eating is good, then, come winter, move out to prey upon the stock grower's lambs and calves. The federal fish and wildlife service listened to the ranchmen's complaints and decided to see how right they were. Since then, says Weldon B. Robinson, biologist in the Denver office of the service: 319 coyotes in and near Yellowstone Park have been trappzd, and released. So far, 65 of these tags have been turned in by hunters killing the coyotes outside the perk. One of them was shot 115 miles airline distant from the reservation, others have wandered as far as 50 miles before catching a bullet Robinson insists the' coyote, while cunning and furtive, is no coward. dimnered, he'll put up a rifle .fight. Hungry coyotes, Ribinson said, often go far out of their weight class to tackle an arttlered deer or elk, only to be slashed or trampled to death. oansowismvommumwmignsissovellmmolommok itin -1...tut....e,.....- s'' m- ,01 t .., .,...

This year, Utah placed second in the national public speaking contest and carried home a large share of the other awards made at the convention. Prof. L. R. Humphreys, head of the agricultural education division at USAC, reports that since 1930, Utah has represented the 11 western states eight times in the national public speaking contest. In these eight years the Utah delegate has won first place three times, second place three times, and third place twice. No other state in the nation has such an outstanding record, according to Professor Humphreys: Taking speaking honors at the 1948 convention was Elwin Slater of Slaterville, a member of the Weber High School FFA chapter. Elwin represented 11 western states in the national public speaking contest, winning second place and $200. Another Utahn who placed second in the national public speaking contest three years ago also figured prominently In the 1948 convention. He is Zugene Hansen, East Garland, who is national secretary of rFA, and a member of the national council. LOGAN ,,, .. , .,,,,.. - , . I r.towlomtowswe'wm, COLLECT BYPRODUCTS 1 ecru CO..
