“Be Sharp
(Continued From Page 8)
Stebbins said cows should
almost always be bred yearly,
and again, to the best bulls
available. “I don’t believe,
though, that the most popular
bull is always your best bet. You
have to think of vigor, longevity
and your cow’s health in addition
to production.”

boiler type steel that will last and last. A bedding board
is installed and the stall is elevated above the scrape
area. Extra floor space is given to each animal and a
maximum drinking area is provided. A step along the
feed trough allows easy access to the feed but prevents
manure from falling into the trough

A firm believer in artificial
insemination, Stebbins pointed
out that the cost of a service is
negligible when compared with
the potential value of a calf. He
feels that cows should be checked
by a vet to determine whether or
not they’re with calf.
Other items he mentined were
that barns should be ventilated,
beds shouldn’t be lumpy and
cows in stanchions should be let
out at least ones a day. Cats and
dogs shouldn’t be in the barn
because of the danger of
diseases. Stebbins also believes
cows should be brushed
periodically, because they look
better and feel better.

for the fiscal year. The current
interest rate on unsubsidized
loans is 7'/ 4 percent.
The Department said the
suspension in subsidized housing
will be in effect for 18 months to
allow time for a comprehensive
evaluation of the programs. The
study will seek to determine
whether the programs in question
are the most effective means
available for providing benefits
to low-income families, whether
the programs provide benefits to
persons other than low-income
borrowers, and whether the
Government’s role in the
programs is an appropriate
Federal role
Housing programs affected by
the temporary discontinuance of
new approvals are -
- Housing loans to low-income
families that involve an interest
subsidy Subsidized interest rates
to borrowers have ranged as low
as one percent under the present
program
- Rental and cooperative
housing loans
- The farm labor housing
program of grants plus loans at
one percent interest
