Good Summer
Management Can
Boost Beef Returns
Special attention to summer
management practices can make
a favorable situation even bet
ter for North Carolina beef Cat
tle producers.
Enjoying high prices cur
rently and looking forward to
a continued strong market into
the fall feeder auction season,
producers are looking for ways
to take full advantage of the
market situation.
Fall feeder calf prices may be
the highest since 1951 when the
average was $36.88 per hundred
pounds. A new record could be
set for yearling steers.
Extension animal husbandry
specialists at North Carolina
State University are offering the
following suggestions for sum
mer management:
1. Creep feed calves equal
parts by measure of shelled
corn and whole oats until mark
et time. Feeder calves are a
good way to market grain when
cattle prices are high.
2. Rotate pastures to help con
trol internal parasites. If need
ed, treat calves for worms dur
ing July.
3. Control flies during the
summer months.
4. The hreeding season should
be over by now and all bulls
removed from the cow herds.
5. Check all calves to see
that they are properly dehorned
and castrated. v
6, Give all cattle free choice
to loose salt, a mineral mixture
and dean water.
7. Cull cows should be sold
in July and August
6. If calf crop was off this
year, it would be a good prac
ticed© pregnancy check the en
tire cow herd and market any
cows that are not lured.
9. Plans for renovating old
may be in order to im

through the state graded sales in
the fall. It is important that pro
ducers consign cattle to the grad

supported the sales over the
years.

MICRO-MESSAGES FOR THE MOON from 74 heads
of state plus four U.S. documents are contained on this
Hi inch diameter silicon wafer in a Time Capsule left
on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
The messages were reduced to l/200th of their origi
nal size by a new information technology process de
veloped by the Sprague Electric Company Semicon
ductor Division, Worcester, Mass.
By etching the micro-messages in an ultra-thin, 4
millionths of an inch, quartz (silicon dioxide) coating
on the silicon wafer, a record able to withstand the
extreme conditions of space will remain permanently
on the moon to signify the historic event.
The Sprague process allows the pin-head sized mes
sages to withstand temperatures over 1800°F indefi
nitely, something far beyond the abilities of microfilm
and other previous micro-reproduction techniques.
