Here Are Rules for Five Standard Rodeo Events; 200 Riders Expected World Championship Roedo, which comes to the state farm <Show Arena in Harnshurg, Nov. 12 through 16, as much a part of a Westerner’s life as cactus or the prairie, but it might be somewhat of a mystery to Easterners who will have the opportunity to see the sport for the first time in this part of country. Most rodeos, including the one in the Farm Show Arena, have five standard events- bareback and saddle bronc riding, Brahma bull riding, calf roping and steer wrestling. TO make sure there’s never a dull moment at the Penn sylvania Livestock Exposition Re deo, TV and Western movie stais Gene Autry and Annie Oakley will be on hand for each of five nightly performances and a Sat urday matinee. The roedois a maj or feature of the first Pennsyl vania International Livestock Ex position. The age-old saga of “man a gainst beast” creates most of ro deo’s spectator appeal. Rules for the five events are designed to give both man and beast an equal chance. Just as “you can't teU the players without a program,” you can’t tell who is winning m rodeo unless you know the rules. These are the rules a professi onal cowboy must follow to win points toward world champion ship honors: Saddle bronc riding The cow boy must stay on his horse for either eight or ten seconds. The horse is outfitted with a plain halter, one rein and a saddle. The rider must have his spurs over the break of the horse’s shoulders and touching the ani mal when its front feet hit the ground on the first lump out of the chute. The rider is disqualified if he, is bucked’ off inside the time'limit changes hands on the reifi, wraps the rein around his hand, grasps any part of the saddle, loses a stir rup, touches the animal, saddle or rein with his free hand, or -rides with locked rowels <the cir cular, pointed part of a spur) Bareback brone riding One hand rigging is used.

The rider must have his spurs over the break of the horse’s shoulders and touching the ani mal when its feet hit the ground on the first jump out of the chute The rider is disqualified if the judges consider the rowels of his spurs too sharp, if he is bucked off m less than eight seconds, or if he touches the horse with his free hand. Bull Riding The rider must hold on top to a rope which pass es loosely around the bull, and he must stay on the bull for eight seconds. Riders who are knocked off at the chute or when the bull falls are entitled to a re-nde. The nder is disqualified if he is bucked off in less than eight se conds, touches the animal with his free hand or uses sharp spurs. Calf Roping The roper is al lowed two throws. If he misses both, he must retire and no time is allowed. The contestant must adjust reins and rope to prevent his horse from dragging the calf. The contestant must go down the rope, throw the calf by hand and tie any three of its feet. The tie must hold until passed on by the judges. If the tie comes loose or the calf gets to its feet before the tie has been ruled fair, the roper will be marked “no time.” Arena conditions will determine the start and deadline. The con testant who ropes and ties his calf in the shortest time wins the event Steer wrestling or doggin’ One cowboy, called a “hazer,” is allowed to ride on the opposite side of the steer from the dogger to keep the steer from shying a way from the dogger’s horse. The steer most be caught from a horse The steer is considered down only when it is lying flat on its side, all four feet and head straight. The cowboy who brings a steer down the fastest wins top prize money.

Lancaster Farming, Friday, Oct. 18, 1957 7 Drouth Area Farmers Can Use Barley as Corn Substitute Safely Since corn will be scarce m Chester County, County Agent Robert A. Powers Jr. suggests dairymen consider using more barley in gram mixtures for dairy cattle. Barley prices are favorable in most sections and considerable amounts can usually be pur chased, even in areas where little or no barley is grown. The small grain equals shelled, com in energy content and is con siderably higher in overall feed ing value than the corn-and-cob chop which is generally fed. In addition, barley contains approxi mately 12 per cent crude protein compared to seven per cent for corn and cob chop. Thus, less protein supplement is required to balance a mixture containing considerable amounts of barley. Because of its higher protein content, barley should be substi USDA Revising Pesticide Label Rule To clarify its policy of not en dorsing specific commercial pes ticides, the U S. Department of Agriculture has proposed an amendment to regulations for lab eling these products Under the proposed change USDA would consider a pesticide misbranded if its label carried “any statement directly or indi rectly implying that an economic poison or device, or any ingredi ent or constituent element there of, or combination of ingredients, is recommended or endorsed by any agency of the Fedeial Govern ment ” Officials of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service charged with en forcing these regulations pomt out that labels on some commer cial pesticides bear such claims as- "Formula Recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture,’’ or “Active Ingredi ents Recommended by the United States Department of Agnctil-. ture ” Claims of this kind have been m'terpieted to mean the product itself is USDA-endorsed ■ '"r-~ r ♦ v V ■* .S- •V, f A v, v* v > ' * ‘ ’■‘ft -_ . o* ted for oats on a pound-for-pound basis. When used as a substitute for corn, make an adjustment in, the amount of protein supple ment used in the mixture. As much as 40 per cent barley can be used in most gram mix tures for dairy cows. Larger amounts may icsult in too low a fat content for the mixture un less special care is taken to main tain a fat content of at least 2.0- 2.5 per cent fat. More than 40 per cent barley can be used in mixtures fed to dry cows and young stock. Contrary to some superstitions, the proper use of barley will not cause mastitis, abortions and a host of other ailments. Barley ig fed to many of the top dairy cat tle throughout the country with good results. More barley could be used to good advantage for dairy cattle feeding in areas where the crop yields well.
