( Continued from page 28) himself well for his vocation never fails of employment.” Jefferson also had the imagination to picture agriculture as a science of first order— he commented: " It counts among its handmaids... chemistry, natural philosophy, mechanics, mathematics, natural history, and botany.” Indeed, it takes trained manpower to operate the
technological and scientific complex that we have developed. Farming has changed from a way of living to a way of making a living. It is big and important business, and intricate, too— and it will get bigger.
To the art of farming, we have added the precision of science. Emphasis is being placed on brain power rather than on manpower. More operating efficiency and greater skills are required— miscalculations are more costly. There are 250,000 trade-name chemicals on the market, and new ones are appearing daily. Least-cost rations are now being figured by electronic computers. Although these mechanical devices save much time, feed formulas turned out by them must still be reviewed by a competent nutritionist.
As animal technology has advanced, along with progressive mechanization and expansion of research, more and better jobs have been created for collegetrained men. There are fewer unskilled agricultural jobs; more positions for craftsmen, technicians, and scientists. Of course, animal agriculture does, and always will, include farming and ranching. But it has come to mean more— it embraces a host of other agribusiness areas. Placement office records reveal that fewer than one-fifth of our agricultural graduates become farmers: the majority of the others find positions with industrial and commercial firms closely related to agriculture.

KIBLER FARMS
Trainer " WHITEY” WHITEHEAD of the Kibler Farms in Mt. Orab, Ohio, is being kept plenty busy these days as he prepares his stock for the heart of show season. Whitey has 25 head on hand at the stable and is looking forward to some fine showings by many of these horses.
There are nine filly yearlings and four stud yearlings being kept at the stable and they will begin working next fall. Standing at stud is Rhythm.
Rhythm’ s Red Flasher is a five-year-old stud horse owned by the Kibler Farms who packs plenty of motion and head-shaking. Major’ s Big Deal is a three-yearold black stud owned by the Kibler Farms who should see plenty of show rings and ribbons this season.
An amateur stud who should be placing at the top of his classes is Wells Fargo. Owned by TOM BOHLAND, this fine-looking stallion should have a real good season.
Mack K’ s Mona Lisa is a sorrel mare owned by the Farm who should be a top-flight contender in the mare classes this year. Also a two-year-old filly, Rhythm’ s
Lucky Lady, should win her share of ribbons during the show season.
Rhythm’ s Black Magic is a fine-looking two-yearold stud at the Farm with lots of potential. Owned by the Kibler Farm, this black stallion could be a big winner for many years to come.
The Kibler Farm owns a three-year-old black filly, Rhythm’ s Hot Pepper, who they look to for blue ribbons in the season ahead.
Whitey Whitehead, who has been at the Kibler Farms for nine years, welcomes any visitors in the area to
stop by and see him. If you are looking for Tennessee Walking Horses and plenty of hospitality, the Kibler Farm is the place to go.
WILLIS STABLES
GLENN and JUDY WILLIS have just recently moved back to Belfast, Tennessee, from Tucson, Arizona. They moved into the stable that L. A. MURRAH had formerly been in.
The Willises have 38 head in this public stable and
are anxious for visitors to come by and see them. Standing at stud is Shadow’ s Trooper.
Everyone in the area is urged to stop by and see Glenn and Judy. If you are just passing through, this would be a good chance to see some fine stock.
