SWANNANOA TEAM
DEFEATS BLACK
MOUNTAIN BY 7-6
In a game that might well mean
the county championship the Swan
nanoa Warriors defeated the
Black Mountain Darkhorses 7-6
Wednesday, October 2;, before a
capacity crowd.
Black Mountain received the
opening kick-off and drove from
their 30 yard line down to the
Swannanoa 45 yard line where the
Warriors took the ball on downs.
Swannoa promptly drove 55 yards
to a touchdown. Rainwater scored
for the Warriors and the passed to
sides in the end zone for what
proved to be the winning point.
The game then see-sawed back
and forth through the second and
third quarters with neither side
threatening very seriously.
In the 4th quarter Wing inter
cepted a Warriors pass on the
Black Mountain 40 yard line and
raced down to the enemy 30 ard
line. The Darkhorse attack would
not then be denied. Power plays
took the ball to the 4 yard line
where “Spoaty” Turner slashed off
tackle for the score. On the at
tempted plunge for the point the
Warrior line refused to yield and
the score stood 7-6 in favor of
Swannanoa.
In the waning minutes of the
game, Swannanoa intercepted a
desperation pass and was threaten
ing when the whistle blew.

game of th season. This is to be

AGRICULTURE
SELECTIVE CALVES FOR SHOW OR FOR THE BREEDING HERD
In selective calves for show purposes or a breeding herd, primary
consideration should be given to their general type and conformation.
Deep, wide-bodied, blocky calves with strong level backs, long level
rumps, deep full thighs, and short relatively straight legs are considered
most desirable. Breeders are also desirous of selecting calves that arw
smooth and that posses a reasonable degree of natural flesh evenly
distributed. Calves selected for the breeding herd should conform to
the accepted color markings of the breed they represent.
It is important also to bear in mind the breeding ability and con
formation of the sire and dam of a calf and the outcome of previous
matings, if there were any. Calves that give indication of developing
into uesirable show animals should be placed in the feeding barn when
from 3 to 5 months old. If, on the other hand, a person is contem
plating the purchase of one or more calves, it advisable to examine
available prospects while they are still nursing their dams in"”order to
become acquainted with the development of the calf under the con
ditions in which it has been placed Obviously, few calves are
afforded the same opporunity for development even on the same farm.
Some calves look thrifty mainly because they have had an excellent
opportunity to develop. Other calves, with grater potentialities in
the breeding herd, may be less attractiv because they have not been
given an adequate opportunity to demonstrate their maximum ability.
Unless the prospective purchaser has milk available for feeding it
is not desirable to obtain a calf until it has been weaned. Calves
that do not receive a sufficient quantity of milk from their dams or
other from groups of feeders, in which even the selector must
ncessarily base his decision on type, conformation, and apparent
thriftiness.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
When cattle are registered with the respective breed associations
some form of identification is necessary to establish accurate records,
of the ears, which is one of the most permanent means of identifica-
Some registry associations require tattoo identification on the inside
of theears, which is one of the most permanent means of identifica ?
tion. With breeds having pigmented skins, such as the Aberdeen
Angus, tattoo marks are somewhat difficult to read. Neck chains
with numbers are generally used with th polled breeds. Ear tags are
used by many breeders, but they are not a fully dependable means of
identification as tags are sometimes torn out. All cattle in the herd
should have some form of identification, and this should be carefully
recorded. ,
The herdsman should have two breeding books—one of pocket size
for his daily use and a larger office book in which to record duplicate
accounts of all breeding and calving dates. It is also a good plan to
make notes of irregularities in breeding and calving, unduly short or
long gestation periods, physical abnormalities, and undesirable color
markings of calves dropped.
Cost of production per animal is usually higher on herds kept for the
production of breeding cattle than in those kept strictly for feeders or
fat-cattle production, owing largely to the greater investment per
head, the greater amount of labor required, and the more expensive
equipment used. Adequate equipment such as barns and sheds is
necessary, but it need not be elaborate. Shds will suffice for almost
all classes of beef cattle with the possible exception of cows at calving
equipment used .Adequat quipmnt such as barns and sheds is
necessary, mbut it need not be elaborate. Sheds will sffic for almost
all classes of beef cattje with th possible exception of cows at calving
time during- inclement weather. In areas where considerable quanti
ties of silage can be produced, it is advisable to have one or more silos,
depending on the number of cattle being fed and the capacity of the
silo.
To show animals to best advantage to prospective buyers, the
breeder of purebreds should keep herd in a somewhat higher con
dition and develop the young stock to a greater degree than would be
necessary in a grade herd. A largr financial outlay in the form o
feed and labor will be necessary to accomplish this.
Without an established market for breeding cattle it is advisable
, for the breeder to adversise his cattle in breed journals and news
| papers and by the use of letterheads or by showing at fairs. From
time to time it may be desirable to place cattle in consignment sales
or have a private sale if there are u.ough cattle of good quality to
, warrant it.
Percentage of calf crop, number of calves raised, and death losses
have a more direct bearing on production costs than almost any other
combination of production factors. The cattle breeder should, there
fore, keep nonbreeders out of the herd, maintain his cattle at the
proper nutrition level and have sufficient bulls to serve the herd ade
quately in order to obtain a high percentage calf mop.
The herd should be maintained under sanitary conditions and tested
periodically for tuberculosos and brucellosis (Bang’s disease) in accord
ance with State and Federal regulations. In many areas it is necessary'
to vaccinate young against such diseases as blackleg. Introduc
ing diseases into the herd through failing to take the proper precau
tions when additions to the herd are made and failing to keep the herd
in a healthy condition through proper nutrition and sanitary conditions
will materially lessen the income. Attention to such matters often
determines whether the enterprise is a success or failure.
