Extension Agent, Agriculture
It’s good to be back home again in Rappahannock. Bill Lyne helped me move. Phil and Elly Irwin made me right at home in the little house at Caledonia, and Miss Ruby greeted me with a sparkling office and a big welcome smile. Warm friendly people, who still pride themselves in being individuals; a lovely countryside in the spring of the year; a few old friends and a few new, what else does a man need.
Pastures are greening up and time to tum the cows out is just around the comer. Yearling steer producers will want to worm and implant each steer weighing over 450 pounds just before turning out for the summer grazing season. One stillbestrol pellet (12 milligrams) implanted in the ear of each steer will return 35 pounds (2 for the summer). The cost is only 13 cents per head and the returns figure out to about a $9.00 bonus. Ninety dollars extra on every ten head.
If you are a doubting Thomas and still don’t believe it works, check with the Graves Brothers at Syria and Lawton Blankenbaker. They have been getting 35 extra pounds per head from implanting for six or seven years now.
If you need help getting started, let me know and I will come out to your farm and implant the first five and then tum the gun over to you and watch you implant the rest.
If you tum your herd bull in with the cows today, your calves will start coming in January. Early calves do better, gain faster, are big enough to take advantage of the extra milk and grass when turned out on pasture in the spring and they weigh more come feeder calf sale time. As you know, the only two things that a feeder calf producer has to sell are weight and grade. Why not increase these and your income by breeding for earlier calves.
You-all Come !!
or slightly below for the person seated near the table. This protects the eyes from the glare of the bulb. The height of the base (from the bottom of the base to the bottom of the shade) combined with the height of the table should be about 40 to 42 inches from the floor. Measure your tables before you buy lamps. A table lamp is needed for a low table, but use a lower lamp on a tall table.
The functional lamp at the seating area where reading or sewing will be done should conform to some requirements that are not necessary for lamps used for general lighting.
Place the lamp so the light falls over the shoulder onto the task. A table lamp should be placed with the base about in line with the shoulder. A pull-down lamp may often be used instead of a table lamp.
Attention can be focused on certain treasured accessories with decorative lighting. Such decorative lighting should be located where accent is needed. It should be directed to the right area and never be glaring.
