Prevent Bruising
Os Livestock By
Proper Handling
Explaining that approximate- I
ly 20 percent of all cattle and
hogs marketed are so bruised
as to cause loss, County Agent
J. W. Scoggins this week urg
ed Newton County farmers and
livestock handlers to take great
er care in marketing farm ani
mals.
Such injuries, he said, result
' in condemned cuts of the car
cass after animals are dressed
at the packing houses. Thus,
it is important that these losses
be brought to a minimum, in
view of the present food short-
I age and high meat prices, he
I added.
Mr. Scoggins explained that
eighty percent of the injuries
in hogs, for example, are found
• to be in the hams and loins,
which are the rqost valuable
I cuts.
An annual total of 202 million
pounds of meat is lost after the
animals leave the farm, he said,
in quoting figures compiled by
the National Livestock Loss
Prevention Board.
Os this loss in the national
meat supply, dressed animals
accounted for 126,500,000 pounds,
bruising losses totaled 34,000,000
pounds, crippling took a toll of
10,000,000 pounds, and dead an
imals amounted to 31,500,000
pounds.
Carelessness in handling and
hauling livestock is a heavy cost
to someone, mainly to the live
stock producer, the county agent
said.
“Beating with sticks. over
crowding and poor footing in
trucks, and rough handling are
responsible for most of the
bruises, blood clots, broken
bones, and cripples," he report
ed.
“Canvas flaps or electric prods
should always be used, instead
of sticks or canes, in driving
stock into trucks and pens,” Mr.
Scoggins recommended. “Spec
ial attention is required to pre
vent loss during hot weath e r
movements.”

WASHINGTON—Despite Sen
ator Arthur Vandenbergs Lon
don statement that he is not a
presidential candidate for 1948,
it does not rule out an outside
chance that he might win the
GOP nomination —nor that he
would welcome it.
Vandenberg has been catapult
ed into the world scene as a
UNO delegate, and is the spokes-,
man for one trend of foreign
policy thought within his party.
Oddly, he was helped along by
an administration he criticized
vigorously for its doings on the
home front.
His pre-Yalta
foreign policy
address so
pleased the late
President Roose,
ve 11 that he
named “Big
Van” a delegate
to the San
Francisco con
clave. Subse
quently, Presi
dent Truman
sent him to
London.
Vanden berg
iM
Senator
Vandenbarn
could hardly forget the roar of
the crowds at the Philadelphia
GOP convention in 1940, when
he had a fair chance to capture
the nomination that later went
to the late Wendell Willkie.
In Chicago four years later he
was shoved into the background
by Governor Dewey. But two
! years hence it might be differ
ent—to some extent depending
on the success of UNO and the
part he plays-
Observers figure the big
scramble may be among Minne*-
I sota’s ex-Governor Stassen, rep
resenting GOP’s “left wing” in
world policy; Dewey, and form
er Governor Bricker, Ohio con
servative and 1944 vice-presiden
tial choice.
i If Stassen is beaten, if Dewey
is out, and Bricker comeg a
’ cropper the waiting man in the
background would appear now
i to be “Big Van.”

THE COMMERCIAL depart
! ment wants the ladies of the
[ land to know that their precious
■ nylons are not going overseas
I while stockingless legs are get
ting goospimples from standing
Jin lines to await the sheerest
J hose.
So Arthur Paul, director of the
I Office of Internal Trade, came
forward with the figures. He I
said: Less than one per cent of
American nylons go abroad.
In 1945, he said, only 354,000
of the 40,000,000 pairs'made''in
America were diverted to foreign
markets.

.THE GOVERNMENT'S new •
housing program calling for 1,- j
500,000 pre-fabricated homes in [
1946 and 1947 is going to have
some tough sledding unless some I
prompt action is taken to insure ,
their construction.
The reason: “Prefabs” are an-1
athema in many communities..
“City Fathers” do not want them
and building trades unions, along ।
with suppliers of building ma
terials, are turning up their
noses at them. •
In fact, scores of cities and |
towns have city ordinances
which prohibit such homes. And
unions contend they drastically
errtaii workers’ incomes. But
the government is committed to
an emergency program of pre
fabricated housing. Numerous
industries are ready for mass
production.
Wilson Wyatt, dynamic hous
ing expediter, is appealing to
unions and communities to re
move their barriers. If they
don’t there may be a clash with
