WHAT ABOUT THE CALVES? ROB & LOIS WINSETT production schedules to acquire The winning entry will be on Here is where almost everyone agrees deworming pays big divi- component parts needed to build display at the college’s annual dends. Whittier strongly supports deworming calves by saying, “We’ve done 15 trials in Virginia and have always gotten enough of an in- crease in weaning weights to make it profitable, some years as much as 50 lbs.” At today’s feeder calf prices, that’s adding another $60 - $70 to a 500 lb. steer with only a cost of around $1.25. Pretty simple math. The reason why calves gain the additional weight is twofold. Ostertagia, commonly known as brown stomach worm, accounts for the majority of parasite damage in calves. These parasites are present in wet, damp grass that is eaten by calves. The eaten larvae move into the calves stomach area and line the walls of the gastric glands. By irritating these glands cells, en- zymes are produced that suppress the calves appetite. As appetite decreases, weight gains are lowered. “These are the first parasites calves see in their life and they have no resistance to them.” Whittier says. As soon as calves are old enough to start nibbling off the ground, they begin ingesting worms in one form or another. In summary, deworming at the right time can pay big dividends for cow/calf producers by additional weight gains. Deworming cows, although debatable, will also provide benefits by indirectly improv- ing the appetite levels of their nursing calves. Remember, we’re in the business to sell pounds. Deworming generates more pounds. *** News & Events*** The Twin Lakes Cattle Association is giving away a half freezer beef at this years Clinton County Fair.

Haldeman, tells the president to put pressure on the head of the FBI to “stay the hell out of this [Watergate burglary investigation] business.” In essence, Haldeman was telling Nixon to obstruct justice, which is one of the articles Congress threatens to impeach Nixon for in 1974. In audio tapes of that day’s conversation in the Oval Office, Haldeman tells Nixon that the press and FBI investigators have come close to linking the men who burglarized the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972, housed in the Watergate building, to the White House. They specifically mention funds diverted to the burglars, many of whom were Cuban, by members of Nixon’s re-election committee. Nixon tells Haldeman to tell the FBI that the funds in question were intended for the CIA and concocted a story about covert plans regarding communist Cuba. “Don’t lie to them,” said Nixon, “to the extent to say there’s no involvement [on the part of the president] but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it.” The tapes of the hour-and-a-half conversation between Nixon and Haldeman eventually brought down the Nixon administration and led to his resignation in August 1974. They were considered the “smoking gun” which proved Nixon’s role in obstructing justice during the Watergate investigation. “Frankly, my dear...” June 27, 1939 On this day in 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history is filmed - Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara parting in Gone With The Wind. Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the alternate line, “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care,” in case the film censors objected to the word “damn.” The censors approved the movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including the curse. The filming of the famous epic was itself an epic, with two and half years elapsing between Selznick’s purchase of the rights to Margaret Mitchell’s novel and the movies’ debut in Atlanta in December 1939. Selznick had balked at paying an unprecedented $50,000 for the rights to a first novel. He hired director George Cukor immediately, and casting began in the fall. Selznick launched a nationwide talent search, hoping to find a new actress to play Scarlett. Meanwhile, he set writers to work on the script. A year later, Selznick still hadn’t found an actress or received a satisfactory script. In May 1938, running low on funds, Selznick struck a deal with MGM. He sold the worldwide distribution rights for the film to the studio for $1.5 million, and MGM agreed to lend Clark Gable to Selznick. Filming finally began on December 10, 1938 with the burning of Atlanta scene, although Scarlett still hadn’t been cast. British actress Vivien Leigh, newly arrived from London dropped by the set to visit her agent, Myron Selznick, brother of David Selznick. Producer Selznick asked Leigh to test for Scarlett. In January, Leigh signed on and Leslie Howard was cast as Ashley Wilkes, and at last, principal filming began. By February, however, there was trouble on the set. Gable clashed with the director, and by February 14, Victor Fleming replaced George Cukor. Principal filming ended on June 27, 1939. The film debuted in Atlanta on December 15, 1938, and became an instant hit, breaking all box office records. The film was nominated for more than a dozen Oscars and won nine, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress (which went to Hattie McDaniel, the first African American actress to win the award).

Clinton County Bd. of Education - By R. C. Reneau, Secretary Population of city now 1,916 District Supervisor of the Census, George Pigg, gave out the first information this week regarding the 1950 census in Clinton County. He explained that, although the figures on the town of Albany have been calculated several weeks, he was unable to release the information until the entire county of Clinton had been tabulated. According the supervisor’s report, 1,916 people were found to be living within the corporation limits of Albany. Clinton County showed a total population of 10,602. As compared with the 1940 census population, the town of Albany then having 1,259 inhabitants, picked up 657. Clinton County as a whole, gained 323 people over the 10 year period. Marriage licenses issued Marriage license issued at the county court clerk’s office to: June 16, David Branham, Albany, and Wilma Ferrell, Albany. Annual meeting of Farm Bureau The annual meeting of the Clinton County Farm Bureau was held in the county agent’s office Saturday, June 17. Officers and directors elected at the meeting were: Charles Futrell, president; Hile Pritchard, vice-president; John Branham, secretary-treasurer and agent for insurance service. Directors: Luther Poore, John D. Mullins, Cletis Garner, Fred Andrews, Knox Upchurch, Jessie Guffey, W. E. Martin, Willie Simpson, J. E. Ferguson, and Robert Beaty. The directors voted $50 to help sponsor Farmers’ Field Day and $15 for 4-H Club entertainment. Kentucky Facts and Trivia: Know your neighbors Clinton County is adjacent to Russell County (north); Wayne County (east); Pickett County, Tennessee (southeast); Clay County, Tennessee, (southwest); and Cumberland County (west).

Cumberland County is named for the Cumberland River and has a small branch of Dale Hollow Lake which covers the southern end of the county. It began as a small riverside settlement even before the Iroquois Indians officially sold the land in 1768 to establish Cumberland County. The settlement was originally called Cumberland Crossings. In 1846, it was incorporated as a city and named Burkesville after Samuel Burk, a prominent citizen leader at the time. Just as Kentucky was a border state in the American Civil War, so was Burkesville a border town. It stood on the Cumberland River, a major natural barrier between opposing forces, so Union and Confederate troops as well as guerillas led by Champ Ferguson sparred across the countryside. Confederate General John Hunt Morgan tore through the area while conducting Morgan’s Raid, and General Hylan B. Lyon’s raids in December 1864 burned seven courthouses, ending with the one in Burkesville on January 3. Burkesville was a fairly busy river port whose heyday came during the latter part of the nineteenth century when water transportation was the most feasible way to move large quantities of goods. The rise of larger craft like the riverboat required dredging of the riverbed to keep it navigable so far upstream. The last steamboat docked in Burkesville in 1929, which was the year after the first major road was opened to Glasgow, Kentucky, forty miles west. River trade died out and was ended permanently when Wolf Creek Dam and Dale Hollow Dam were built in the mid-twentieth century. While this did put a definitive end to commercial river traffic, it did have the benefit of controlling flooding that plagued the town for years. Cumberland County has many notable citizens including the first woman elected sheriff in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Pearl Carter Pace, born January 1896, died January 1970, aged 74.
