Blizzards Prove Cattle
Can Really Take It
CHKYENNE, Wyo. (UP) The
terrific blizzards in Wyomin dur-
! niR January and February proved
! at least one thing cattle can take
i u lot before they go down for the
final count.
One young calf was found alive
j after spending 28 days in a snow-
cirm-iockeq nole on a ranch near
Cheyenne without food or water.
The snow formed trap was scarcely
big enough for the animal to turn
around in.
Other stories of remarkable sur-
vival were reported, but thous
ands of cattle and sheep were less
fortunate. They perished on the
I cold, snow-covered ranges, many
of them with frozen eyes and feet,
many dying standing up.

Farmers Urged To,
Get Proper Seed "
Plates Now
"Don't wait until planting day
to obtain the proper seed plates for

urges Dr. R. P. Moore, director in
charge of the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association at State
College.
Cora hybrids. Dr. Moore ex
plains, are sold by grades which
may require special seed plates.
Since good stands are needed to
make high yields, attention must
be given to the selection of the
proper size plates.
Many fanners rework the cells
of either old or new plates in or
der to get an accurate seed drop.
The important point is to make
sure that the largest kernels oi
corn can be planted without diffi
culty. If this is done, the smaller
kernels will cause no trouble, es
pecially in well-graded lots of corn.
Most manufacturers of corn
planters are willing to help farm
ers select the proper plates, says
Dr. Moore. However, he adds,
farmers must he willing to help
themselves. They must realize that
luck Is neither a good farming
partner nor a substitute for the
proper plates.
