' Moreover, Brennan said, par
ents, teachers and others who
have the prime responsibility of
rearing children "are entitled to
the support of law designed to
aid discharge of that responsi
bility." The ruling was the court's first
venture into a growing kind of
antipornography law one design
ed especially for children.
A New York statute was spe
cifically endorsed. And in a com
panion case, the court threw out
a Dallas ordinance geared to
movies, because the justices found
the classification standards vague.
Here, too, the court said
through Justice Tburgood Mar

objectionable as to them, but
which a state clearly could not
regulate as to adults."
Ths vote was 8 to 1.
Justices William O. Douglas

Commenting wryly that "the

Douglas described the court as

The 1968 Marshall - Walnut

Agricultural Extension Agent
The annual Spring Stocker Sale
is now history. In looking back,
those who watched other people
bid up to thirty-one cents for
calves last fall and shaking their
head, said, "They'll never make
money on those," were wlrong.
Good Hereford steer calves aver
aging 427 lbs. last fall sold for
E9.80 or $127.24 per head. Under
average management a man
should have been able to put 200
pounds per head on these calve,,
and if he sold them in the Spring
Sale they would have averaged.

of $66.15 increase in value. The
cahres would havs to have been
fed a total of 200 days with the
use of fall pasture and winter
cover crop. The price of silage
and protein supplement would
amount to a cost of about $18.00
which means the return to labor,
