seal) ROY Hunter Court Clerk E. C. Hopper Attorney for Pltf. trainee must have a farming unit which will afford him full-time employment. After he has enrolled in the program his subsistence payments enable him to turn a sizeable part of his earnings back into productive farm investments.

In this way many farmer-veterans with less than three years of training behind them have built, up farm businesses larger than the average for their communities. 5,181 Trainees Own Land A state-Wide survey was conducted recently to determine the scope of some of the more important farming activities. Survey findings reveal that 5,181 trainees are landowners, 2 ,016 of them having purchased farms since entrance into training. A large percentage of the remainder are building up inventories of livestock, machinery and equipment while living on rented farms and biding their time for more favorable land prices. Practically every GI farmer is carrying out some soil improvement projects.

Over 1,300,000 cultivated acres are being farmed by veterans. Terracing, contour tillage and cover crops are on the must HSt- in many areas of the state. Veteran trainees have taken the lead in Oklahoma in the application of commercial fertilizers. Fully half of the veterans enrolled have used either commercial fertilizer or lime or both. Livestock, Pastures Improved Almost every veteran is working-livestock into his farming program, and a great deal of livestock improvement work is going forward.

About one-half of the trainees report they are using purebred sires, and many are getting started with a few purebred females. A large number of high quality dairy cattle have been imported from other states and Canada as the result of cooperative group projects. A number of veteran groups have formed local livestock improvement associations and have purchased higher quality sires than any of them could afford individually. Along with livestock improvement goes pasture improvement. Trainees are controlling weeds, reseedlng and limiting grazing on a large scale.

Approximately 91,600 acres of cultivated land have been returned to permanent pasture. The widespread adoption of this program by trainees stems from the realization that some of their present cultivated land would become marginal in a period of declining farm prices. A well-planned live-at-home program is a key factor in the success of many veteran agricultural trainees, The statewide progress report indicates that 11,799 trainees butchered livestock for home use last year. Home-grown gardens were reported by 12,523, and 4,434 have orchards for producing the family supply of fruit. 1,062 Farm Homes Built Not the least of these veterans' efforts has been directed toward home improvements.

Since training program got underway, 1,062 faun dwellings have- been constructed and another .3,718 have undergone extensive remodeling. Electricity, running water, sewage systems, butane and propane gas and telephones are bringing added convenience and efficiency into homes of trainees. The figures do not tell the whole story of the Veterans Agricultural Training Program, but they serve to point up the s.cope of the program and the effect it is having on agricultural production and farm living in Oklahoma. Practically every community in the state can point with pride to unusual individual success stories among its farm, veterans, and hundreds of other such stories are in the making. The success of Oklahoma's Veterans Agricultural Training Program, however, and its far-reaching results are not to be measured in the immediate progress of trainees alone.

The real payoff will be in the form of more efficient farmers and better rural leadership through future years. 15,000 Oklahoma Veterans Learn How to Run a Farm One out of every 10 farmers in Oklahoma today is a World War! II veteran operating' under the Veterans Agricultural Training Pro-' gram, known as the institutional-on-farm phase of the GI Bill of Rights Over 15,000 veterans are currently enrolled in training in Oklahoma. Approximately 1,500 have completed their eligibility. The GI training program has two major objectives: first, to establish veterans in farming, and second, to help them develop' the ability to farm Practically every community in the state is realizing dollar returns as a result of contributions made by the VATP toward better farm-, irtg methods. A large share of the money which this nation is investing in the these young farmers is going into land, buildings, livestock and which will help meet, the country's needs for stepped-up agricultural production through the coming years.

The Oklahoma Veterans Agricultural Training Program stresses personal rather than group in JERSEYS PRODUCE. A large percentage of Oklahoma veteran agricultural trainees are making dairying their major farm enterprise. Ralph Ritberger of Broken Arrow is shown above with a part of the high-producing Jersey herd which he owns and manages in partnership with his father and brother. Last year the 30-head herd averaged over 7,000 pounds of milk and 350 pounds of butterf at per cow. Sports Afield By Ted Resting Practically every city-dwelling American is sure that bears are the most ferocious wild animals ever turned loose, and that a man who hunts them is -a veritable giant among men.

The fact is, with certain important exceptions (most of them pertaining to the grizzly), bear hunting Is pretty dull sport. Davy Crockett started the bad bear myth and he has had many eager cooperators since. One trapper told about his terrifying experience of being socked square in the kisser by a 1'500 pound grizzly. But after a quizzing by Writer Charles B. Roth it all came down to this: The grizzly was in a trap, the trapper got too close, and the bear let go a lucky roundhouse right, which you or I would have done in One of the most successful and realistic bear hunters was A.

C. Rowell. He killed in all, around 300 bears, and never considered he was in the slightest danger. He had very little regard for grizzly courage. When asked if he was ever charged by one he replied: "Only by a wounded one or by a female trying to defend her young.

But a female cottontail rabbit has attacked me under similar circumstances." Stewart Edward White, who has hunted widely in both Africa and America, reports: "The African lion will keep charging to his last breath, no matter how many times you shoot him. But I have never seen a grizzly complete his charge." There were never more than two kinds of. bears in the United black and the grizzly. The so-called brown bears, little cinnamon bears and big cinnamon bears are all variations of these two classes. All bears are omnivorous, but the grizzly is more inclined to be carnivorous.

Early day cattlemen, coming across the partially devoured carcass of a beef animal, HENS HELP. Poultry plays an important part in the farming operations of Oklahoma veteran agricultural trainees. Here, trainee Woodrow Winburn of Marshall, and his instructor, Bob Sharer, look over Winburn's laying flock and some of the equipment he uses for efficient management. jumped" to the conclusion that a grizzly was the culprit. Actually the real killer was usually a mountain lion, and the grizzly came along later in the role of scavenger.

Anything that can be caught, chewed and swallowed is bear food. But the and ill-equipped to eaten most other animals, unless they are disabled. Of necessity he is mainly a vegetarian. The grizzly has been hunted so persistently that he is almost exterminated, and only a comparatively few black bear remain in this country. And anyone who has been to Yellowstone or a northern resort knows what big, good-natured, and we may as well admit it, stupid creatures they are.
