"Shipping Injuries Result
In High Meat Losses
A great loss of meat and money
*s taking place by injures or death
suffered by livestock being shipped
or hauled to market. The loss from j
bruised animals, making it neces
sary to trim away parts of the car
cass, is more than 10 million dol
lars annually. At least 3 million dol
lars is lost by livestock deaths on
way to market.
The farmers can do a lot to pre-1
vent these losses by using care on j
the farm. While loading, avoid the;
possibilities of animals injuring
themselves by crowding through
narrow openings, catching on nails
and splinters, or stumbling over old
machinery lying about the yard.
Cattle should be dehorned when!
young to avoid injury from fighting. |
In preparing them for shipping they :
should be handled without being ex
cited and should be fed lightly just
before loading.
During hot weather it is advisa-1
ble to move animals by night when
it is cooler, if at all possible. Trucks |
and cars should be bedded with i
moist sand. Avoid crowding of j
trucks and cars, as that causes j
many deaths, especially in hot'
weather. Bulls always should be tied
and heavy stags and boars parti
tioned off. It is also best to separate
large and small animals by parti
tions.
Problem Liquidates
l ax Delinquent Land
Six cities in Los Angeles county
have developed a program which is
helping rehabilitate tax delinquent
lands qnd recovering revenues lost
through tax delinquency, according
to information to the American
Municipal association.
Next step is to advertise the prop
erty for sale by quit-claim deed,
thus giving the former owner oppor
tunity to repurchase the property on
an equitable basis. If the property
has not been sold by quit-claim deed
after a reasonable period, all neces
sary proceedings are taken in court
to completely clear the title to the
properly, including the clearing J
of overlapping assessment liens, so
the property may be sold with a j
merchantable title together with j
policy of title insurance. After the )
property is cleared, it is appraised
and listed with all real estate ■
brokers doing business in the city. |
Under existing legislation, Califor- !
nin communities may, by agree
ment with the county board of
supervisors and with consent of the j
state controller's office, purchase
the state’s title to tax deeded lands.
Purchase may be either on a cash
basis, an option agreement basis, or
upon a pro-rata division basis.
Crossbred Cattle
Crossbred beef cattle produced by
combinations of both two and three
breeds yielded slightly more beef
ind profit per animal than compa
rable purebred stock, the USDA
"found. The studies involved 275
steer and heifer calves, some of
vvrhich were crossbreds and others
■purebreds, used for comparison. The
calves of the two-way cross were the
(offspring of Shorthorn bulls and
Hereford cows. The calves of the
three-way cross were sired by Abcr
cieen-Angus bulls bred to Shorthorn-
Hereford cows, the product of the
.former cross. The records show
(that, in comparison with purebred
Herefords, these triple crosses
weighed more at weaning and at the
■end of the feeding period, gained
more rapidly in the feedlots, sold for
more per pound and per head, had a
higher dressing percentage and re
turned more per animal above feed
■and marketing costs. The degree of
.superiority was substantial in most
cases. During the first year the av
erage market return for the cross
bred steers was $14.14 greater than
for the average purebred steer and
■for the second year it was $10.49
greater.
Safety Colors
Bright color and lots of it prom
ises to he the new order of the day
if manufacturers generally adopt the
new scientific use of colors for safe
ty. says C. E. Anderson, nationally j
known authority on the use of color
in industry. After pointing out that
dark, dingy, tool-gray machines ab
sorb 94 per cent of the light falling
on machines, Mr. Anderson present
ed the following industrial safety
■code of six colors: “High visibility
yellow” for use on dead ends, low
beams and stairway a preaches;
“alert orange” for use on boxes and
•cutting’devices; “fire protection red”
for fire-fighting equipment; "safety
green for first aid equipment;
“protection blue” for machinery not
to be moved, such as ovens and
valves; and "traffic white, gray or
black” for aisle markings.
Keep Eggs Cool
j Eggs being held for market
should be in a location where the
Temperature is under 65 degrees and
: where the humidity is high. A prop
erly ventilated cave, basement, or
farm egg cooler will supply these
conditions while the eggs are being
held on the farm. Temperature and
the amount of humidity in the air
are the most important factors af
fecting the interior quality of eggs.
High temperature and low humid
ity are responsible for too much
evaporation, as indicated by the size
of air cells, a watery condition of
the white, a more prominent and
movable yolk, and embryo develop
<ment.

GA. FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT
TO APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
H. L. Wingate, president of j
the GFBF, will appear before the |
forthcoming session of the Geor
gia Legislature to insist that ad-i
ditional funds be provided for
the schools of the state. For the
past months, Mr. W ingate has
been conferring with state of
ficials and Governor Arnall about
the school situation and he is con
vinced that unless additional
funds are provided for rural
schools, and higher salaries as
sured teachers of the state, “the
boys and girls of Georgia will be •
denied the advantages which i
. they should receive at the hands i
of our citizens.”
T h e Georgia Farm Bureau
leader will demand also of the
General Assembly that the origi
nal gasoline tax bill be passed
refunding 5 of the 6 cents where
the fuel is used in tractors for
cultivating and harvesting crops.
Governor Arnall opposed this
measure at the last session, but
when he addressed the recent an
nual session of the GFBF in Ma
con he assured Georgia farmers
that he would insist that this!
bill be enacted into law at the
January session. This will mean
a great saving to farmers of the
state, Mr. Wingate states.

Insurance Assets
A significant commentary on fire
insurance management is the fact
that the companies have maintained
a high degree of diversification and
unusual liquidity in their invested
assets. At the end of 1943, an aver
age of approximately 42 per cent
of total assets was invested in stocks
by 135 representative companies,
as compared with 39.5 per cent in
bonds, such investments conforming
with state regulatory requirements.
Included in the stock total are both
common and preferred issues along
with substantial holdings of insur
ance stocks, the latter representing j
almost entirely stocks of affiliated j
companies—both fire and casualty
—which companies in turn maintain |
investment portfolios that include
I large bond holdings.
Competing Fibers
Technological developments and
the resultant improvements of light
| weight synthetic yarns will press
cotton and wool in further expan
sion in consumption. Rayon staple
i fiber, which currently sells for only
| about two cents per pound more
than the price of Middling 1-inch
cotton, is easily combined with cot- j
ton, wool, mohair, or silk for making
many types of fabrics widely adapt
able for apparel wear, draperies 1
and upholstery materials and they
also are being used in floor cover- j
ings. High-tenacity rayon has been
used successfully in the manufacture
of tires, and spun rayon fabrics have
been found suited for the making of
light summer clothing similar in ap- j
1 pearance to worsted but cheaper.
