Houck Stages Comeback Since 1934, When Part of Herd Was Sold for Lack of Feed and Rest were Taken to Nebraska Employes Cooperate By MAGGIE SMALL Gettysburff, S. July 1. Driving five miles east along a country road, with ripening grain on either side, and on through a lane of trees, one comes upon one of the propserous ranches of Potter county, the triple U. The ranch contains 10,000 acres, is operated by I R. Houck, and is owned by him and his father, J.

R. Houck. This cattle ranch was started in 1926-27 and the herd was built up until 1934. when Mr. Houck was forced to sell down again for lack of feed.

In 1936 he had to move his cattle to Atkinson, for the same reason. It was a trek of 350 miles and took him 31 days to make the trip. Mrs. Houck, with their three children, only one of whom was of school age, drove a house car and cooked for the herders. "Land of Opportunity" Though agricultural and livestock conditions have been bad during the past few years, and despite the grasshopper plague and other disasters, Mr.

Houck believes they have been too much publicized, and that Potter county is headed along the comeback trail to prosperity through the cattle industry. He believes that South Dakota is still the land of opportunity. Came 1938 and 1939, when the cycle made another revolution and things began to improve, through good management, hard work, and tenacity of purpose, Mr. Houck has seen his efforts succeed. This year Mr.

Houck has 500 purebred Herefords, headed by two sires, Addison Domino, grandson of Prince Domino, weighing 2.30O pounds and valued at $1,500. and other valued at $1,000. The records of the herd go back as far as the fourth generation. Uses Dipping Tank Twice each spring and twice each fall, about 10 days apart the entire herd, one by one, is put through a cement dipping tank filled with a heated solution, for the extermina tion of vermin. Mr.

Houck keeps four men In his employ the year around and others during the busiest seasons. "But for their loyalty and good will, I could not carry on." said Mr. Houck. "It makes no difference, winter or summer, 3 a. m.

or daytime, they have never let me down," The herd is always being built up. Ninety percent of them are registered with the American Hereford association and the other 10 percent grade cattle will be sold in the fall. Have Modern House Learning the hard lesson by ex perience of being without feed, Mr. Houck said that he now had one stack of hay containing 250 tons. one 220 tons, and many smaller stacks, enough, he bdives, to last two years.

This year Mr. Houck has in cultivation 1.000 acres, 390 acres in wheat and the rest in feed. The home is an nine-room, frame house, comfortably furnished and as modern as it is possible to make it. The main Darn is 48 by ea. There Is a granary, a store house for feed, a large chicken house, garage, many other buildings, and of all things, an oldfashloned stagecoach that has been in many a pageant and parade on this ranch.

Nestled among the trees is 8 well equipped playhouse for the three children. Tommy. 11. Barbara, 8. and Jerry 8.

Each of these three children was given a purebred heifer. Now these heifers have grown into cows and have produced heifer calves, which were recently Judged by the county agent and the 4-H clubs of a neighboring county. Mr. Houck said this would be a step toward teaching them Independence and would give them a start toward a college education. The oldest child.

Tommy, belongs to a 4-H club. Incidcnlly, Mr. Houck is a firm believer In 4-H clubs. He said, "Tommy knows as much about tern of pilotage, dead reckoning, and use of radio aids; navigation instruments; man reading; variation; deviation; wind drift; heading and track. During the ground school work, the flight operator wilt give instructions as to the applied theory of flight and aerodynamics, flight and engine Instruments, engine servicing, aircraft Inspection, and routine maintenance, civil air regulations, and air traffic rules.

E. L. Orarmm flying service flight operator for 1939-40. will again han dle the field operations for the school year 1940-41, Dr. Pardee said.

It takes 33 separate brews to bring you a single glass of beer so smooth and delicious I YOU'LL enjoy the very look of this beer-its clarity, its sparkle, its creamy collar. But wait till you tasle it! Such flavor, such smoothness, can only come from the blending of 33 separate brews not two," or five, or ten, but 33-from 33 separate kettles! Each brew is as fine as choicest ingredients and Pabst's 96 years of experience can make it. Then all 33 are brought together in perfect balance. An expensive way to brew? Of course! It's like blending cham ffitfc BLEND Copyright 1940 Pabit Brewing Company, MflwauVet pagne, coffee, or tobacco to pro duce the finest.

The greatest difference between the proposed course for 1940-41 and the one offered last yeas is that in the course beginning in 'September this year more of the ground training will be handled by the flight operator. However" Dr, Pardee declared, "the course will again be in charge of the university's applied science department as it was last year." Upon the successful completion of the ground school training course and the flight schedule, students are awarded their private pilot U-censes. The ground training work provides for instruction in meteorology, including elements of weather, meteorological instruments, heating of the atmosphere, pressure, humidity, cloud types, precipitation, air masses and frontal analysis, and other weather phenomena.
