There is an old saying, "You carx't do much about the weather." But you can do a great deal about what the weather does to your land. Rain can. bring relief after drouth and is worth that million, dollars --or it can be a savage enemy that "dashes off with grit in its teeth and tears down our soil like a billion furious buzz saws." Water that "walks downhill' is your ally in in- creasing the production of your-land.

And one secret of handling rainfall properly is "farming on the strip cropping, contour plowing, terrac- ing. Cover crops, grassed waterways, darns and. farm ponds also help, control destructive power of rain. Then you hold the rain where it-falls. Surface.

Water thus stored in the subsoil is the source of the wells and springs which supply homes and farms and ranches. For years this "water table" has been dropping very seriously in some sections.

M. In addition to being a business cor- poration, Swift Company is peo- ple-- 62,000 folks like you and me jj have pooled their savings to build a business. These savings are invested in plants and equipment, in livestock and other raw materials, and in all the many things that make up Swift Company.

Without people there could be no business, no Swift Company. There must be people (shareholders) to supply the capital; others (farmers and. ranchers) to supply the raw materials; many thousands (employes) who work with their heads and hands for the com-; pany; and the millions of consumers who buy the meat and other products. The success of a business enterprise depends on bow these various groups of people get along together. In other words, there must be goodwill and cooperation between the owners of Swift Company and livestock producers, employes, and the company's customers.

To maintain goodwill we know that Swift Com- pany must: 1) pay fair prices for raw materials, in- cluding livestock; 2) pay a good day's pay for a good day's work; 3) provide the money to keep plants and facilities efficient; 4) pay Federal; State and Municipal taxes; 5) earn a profit to give our owners a fair return, on their invested savings. The management of Swift Company recognizes this five-fold responsibility to the various groups of people who make our business. It is to their interest that we manage our business efficiently, that we earn a sufficient profit to let us continue contributing to fM the well-being of more, and l.ji people.

J.WARWICK, TU Si.I. .1 A successful example of sound breeding methods in improving fnrm animals is the development of the Columbia, breed of sheep for the Northern and Northwestern states. When the Western sheep industry began shifting from a "one-crop" industry--wool--to production of both lambs and wool, the peed for a true breeding type of sheep, combining the vigor, and flocking instinct of the fine wool types, with size, prolificacy, and desirable carcass of the mutton types, was clearly ing this need, U. S.

Department of Agriculture scien- tists began developing such a breed from crosses be- tween Rambouillet ewes (a fine wool type), and Lin- coln rams (a mutton type). Today, after more than 30 years of intense selection for desirable characteristics, the Columbia is widely used on better ranges of the West. Animals of thi breed are large, rugged, vigorous, prolific and pro- ductive. Development of the Columbia breed has been suc- cessful because: (1) it was created to fill a real need; (2) the breeding program was carefully planned to preserve and concentrate the germ plasm of superior individuals; (3) rigid culling was practiced; and (4) practical production factors have been emphasized in the selection program. to these simple principles will result in further improvements of other farm animals.
