The UK Agricultural Experiment
Station was the scele of the annual livestock field day last Friday,
and approximately 900 farmers,
the largest number ever to attend
an event of this sort on the campus, were present.
Farmers from all sections of the
state were in attendance. Central
Kentucky counties had the largest
delegations, but there were several
big groups from Eastern Kentucky.
Officials said the large number indicated that there is more interest
in livestock as a result of the decrease in tobacco acreage.
Importance of grass in successful
livestock production was stressed

Science Instructors

To Attend Workshop.
Kentucky science teachers on all
as well as school superintendents and other administrators
have been invited to take part in
a State Workshop on Science Education to be held at the University of Kentucky from August 8
to August 11.
First announcement of the statewide conference was made jointly
last Friday by Dr. Lyman V. Ginger, dean of the UK College of
Adult and Extension Education,
and William Owsley, professor of
biology at Morehead State College. They are serving as for the workshop.
The workshop has been made
possible through a $2,000 grant
made available by Gov. Lawrence
Wetherby from his emergency
fund, the
reported.
This amount was appropriated following a request from the Council on Public Higher Education.
Morehead State College, the
State Department of Education
and the University of Kentucky
are sponsoring the workshop with
the approval of the Council on
Public Higher Education.
Overall objective of the affair
is to improve both the quality and
the quantity of science teaching
in Kentucky high schools. Delegates attending the workshop will
be divided into several groups in
co-chair-

order that all may engage in practical discussions on various problems.

Teachers themselves are submitting topics which will be discussed
during the period. An attempt
also will be made to help promote
and understanding
among high school teachers, college teachers and other groups
represented.
The shortage of qualified science teachers and lact of interest
in science among students will be
discussed in detail during the
workshop. Also planned are sessions on the need for improved
facilities in science classrooms and
laboratories.
This workshop program grew
out of a meeting of the National
Association of Biology Teachers,
held last fall at the University of
Florida A group of Kentuckians
at this meeting organized themselves as a committee to promote
a workshop in Kentucky. Louise

Because of a power failure, the
farmers were not served the beef
barbecue that they had been promised. Instead the lunch consisted
of fish and ham.
Dr. Weber in his address said:
"In considering the human element as a favor In successful livestock production, it Is also well to
keep In mind that animal husbandry progress has paralleled
man's struggle for freedom. Both
have been brought about because
of emphasis on the. dignity of the
individual.
"Social Justice and
are the keystones of democracy, and the opportunity for full
expression of inherent capabilities
by those engaged in livestock production Is democracy's contribution
to animal husbandry's progress."
Dr. Weber advised his listeners
to keep operations in line with
available resources. He urged a
system in accord with the ability
of the operator, size of farm, and
its productive capacity, and the
conservation practices In use or
