( 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 .
