Dear Kansas: Beef Grading important Federal government beef graders take age,' eotiformation, finish and quality into consider- ation when, grading beef. Sohn Leask, a CDA Preduc- tion and Marketing official, told Lethbridge cattle feeders re cently that weight was not a faetor in beef grading. Finish of a carcass has to be propor- tionate to its weight but for several years beef carcasses have not had a minimum weight requirement. Sex was not a decisive fac- . for either, be said. There were • instances when young bulls graded Canada Choice, though it was rare. Heavy male calves were not bought by packers for veal, he told one questioner, , because they lacked finish. On the con- trary, heavy .heifer calves fre- quently carried good finish. Type of feed could affect the color of a carcass finish (the fat), he said. Selling cattle on a. rail grade basis eliminated the need for live weighing and for estimat- ing shrink, yield and grade. However, producers who, want- ed follow an animal through from live to carcass stage fac- ed the problem of identification. Anyone who comes up with a satisfactory identification meth- TWO NEW CBC CORRESPONDENTS ['oter Relley and DaVid Levy bare been added to CBC's roster of foreign. correspOndents. Reilly will report to CBC radio and od would make- a fortune 'from it, he predicted. Tattooing, us- , .ed for hog identification, would not work for beef because cat- tle hides are taken off early in processing. Identification was the responsibility of the owner. Research was also ,fluded in the field of dark-c'utting beef, said Mr, Leask. He knew of one packing plant where record- ed music was - playec to the animals to soothe them. It was probably impractic,al to use tranquillizer ilrfigi at 'the kill- ing stage, as 'the process of in- jecting them might create more unrest among the animals. There was a belief that dark- ness in meat could be traced to cattle„ subjected to extended stress and strain „prior to slaughter. Meat grading is on an option- al basis so far as the federal government is concerned but the service is there for the pu- lie convenience and is, based on grades' established by the Can- ada Department" ofAgrieulture. Only carcasses were graded— not cuts, said Mr.. Leask, Grading identified , e a t,i n g quality to the consumer gave the-beef Industry -a -"convenient basis for „trading and provided the producer with another meth- od' of selling—bY rail' grade.

After the concert at our fair My pop ARViteu yuu and, Clark Johnston ,to,...,pur house, Mom made coffee, and sandwiches and pop opened a new bottle of whiskey. When you left there was lots of cmtee and sandwiches left but pop had to close one eye and hold the bottle up to the light to see the wee bit what was left. Anyway, last night at supper we talked about my future. My aunt Jenny wants me to be a minister but then I couldn't go to ball games. I. said when i growed up was going to be like the ;Kansas Farmer, go all over playing the fiddle and having people laughing at me, Pop grabbed his head with his hands and said the 14,04 forbid. Mon , she twisted her :Uwe and said no, no, no not that. Pop said I'll tell you, iismas writes for books and papers, try your hand at that, which I did. i made up a poem all by myself. I could make up thousands but I. have no money to buy paper ana things. This is a story about a. mule called ,Rick And a boy with a pin on the end of a stick - The boy poked Dick • and made him kick The next line is so sad it Mikes me sick. The funeral for the boy will be held next wick. Made up by Larry Lamont, age 9, Stayner, oat. Dear Larry:. I must say yotii .poem is LW' gue and shoVirs no little' amount of merit.
