BARTON Dr. Byron K. Barton, formed head of the geography department of Eastern Illinois State college, Charleston, last week began his work as supervisor of conservation education iri' Springfield, a new state position heading a special program being launched jointly this year by the agencies of Conservation, Agriculture and Public Instruction. The first session of the conservation education program under Dr. Barton's direction will be held at the state fairgrounds in June. This will be a tihree-week course for elementary and secondary school teachers, and will carry college credit at the six state schools and Joliet Junior college. Activities of the conservation training will be built up on a 40-acre wildlife. demonstration tract being prepared in the northwest corner of the fairgrounds. Farmers have their feedlots well filled with cattle again this winter. This means that the nation's dinner plates will continue to be well filled with fine beef during Che next six months. "Riis prospect is shown in the annual January Report of Cattle on Feed recently issued in Washington. Four per cent more in Corn Belt. The official report shows that farmers in the corn belt are feeding about the, same number of cattle as the average number fed during the past two winters. iTarmers in the' twelve l^orth Central states had 4.2 million cattle in their feedlots on Jan. 1. Thi^ number is 4 per cent more than they were feeding year ago, but 5 per cent less than the number being fed two years ago. Cattle feeding in thirteen Western states shows an increase of 22 per cent over a year ago. These thirteen Western states feed about one-third as many cattle as do the twelve North Central (Corn Belt) states. California, the leading Western state, reported 467,000 cattle on feed, 33 per cent more than last year. The cattle In California, feedlots account for 8 per cent Of the U.S. total and place the state fourth ih cattle feeding, after Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. Cattle feeding is at a new record high in the thirteen Western states. Total cattle on feed in the U.S. Jan. 1 numbered 5.8 million "head. This number is 8 per cent more than were on feed a, year ago and about equal to the record number fed two years ago. Kinds, weights and marketing intentions. The government report gives special information about the cattle on feed in the three leading Corn Belt states. Three states, Iowa, Dlinois and Nebraska, had two.thirda of the cattle being fed in. the Corn Belt and one-half of all cattle bping fed in the UJS. The special information available for these states includes kinds, weights, length of time on feed and expected montCi of marketing. More heifers on feed. In these three states the total increase in cattle on feed over a year ago is about 4 per cent. All of this increase is accounted for by more heifers being fed. The increase in heifers on feed points to lower average market weights and probably to larger market supplies during the coming spring than in 1954. Fewer long-fed cattle. Farmers in the three leading Corn Belt states reported only OK,000 cattle that had been on feed more thm> six months. This number of longfeds is 38 per cent less tlhan one year before. Cattle on feed three to six months numbered 381,000 head, 8 per cent less than in 1954. Farmers reported 1,938,000 head of cattle on feed less than three months. This number is 10 per cent more than one year before. The three states ivjttrUd only 82,000 cattle weltfUfifr onder 1,100 pounds, 40 pi£ camt than last year. Most pf ; the crease in cattle on : to®': are' the 600- to 900-pototf bracket The increase irt th# weight group is 12 per cent. The man who is always up with his work, must Jjave little else to do.

HE wasn't near a hydrant or too far from the enrk There was a big sign saying"ON* HOUH PARKING" and he'd only been gone twenty minates. Running to Traffic Court, where Hack Miller was on duty, Swifty hollered how he hadn't done anything wrong...how he is the most law-abiding driver in town. But Hack examined the ticket, and smiled. "Slow down, friend," he said. "You're not guilty--except of making a big fuss •fier* nothing. This ticket came from tome kid's •policeman play outfit!'" From where I sit, jumping to conclusions can make anyone appear silly. Another way to look foolish is to make a quick deci-. sion on a question of personal preference. For instance, I like s glass of beer occasionally. Ton may be a buttermilk man. Bait neither of as onght to "lay down the law" about the other's choice.
