He was one of the speakers. Manure is a must to produce beets. He told of a rancher there who summered his calves in the mountains but was short of feed in the winter. He oalled on his neighbor’about wintering them. The first man he contacted, wanted $10.00 a month and the manure. He thought that was too much*. ” ' The second man he spoke to, said he would winter them for $5«00 a month and the manure. This was better but he decided to try another. The third n^n said $1750 per head per month. The rancher said that was reasonable enough but what about the manure? ' The feeder replied, "Look mister for that kind of money there will be no manure." NO CONFIDENCE '* " '* "The night is dark and I am far from home."

LOST AND FOUND ' We are perhaps right 25^ of the time? We moved heifers to a separate pasture south east of town. Our count was 25. ' Tuesday a load of hay was trucked to them. The driver counted only 24 head. At the feed lot they said 24 went out. We got in touch with the neighbors, Harry Hillmer, Shelton Ririe and Art Neiman, They hadn’t seen any stray cows. We counted again. There was only 24. There were two old mushroom straw • stacks in the field. (Different at the McIntyre Ranch where you'can see a score of huge stacks, like old times.) The next morning the truck driver, Steve Gruninger ,went back with a pitch fork to investigate. He worked and dug and was ready to give up when he said he "smelt something", so he renewed his effort and found the lost' cow. The straw removed, she got to her feet, shook herself and went in search of the others.
