Weed Control
Last week we talked about
show halter training - - how
to lead, square up and trot
out obediently. The halter
showing routine is variable,
new ways frequently adop-
ted by judges and show
committees to improve judg-
ing and spectator enjoyment.
Some judges will ask you to
walk your horse towards him
then tro¢ away fron him
continuing on the same
straight line. Others will ask
you to walk away, do a turn
on the haunches to the right
and trot, back. This is the
style generally used in 4-H
showing.
You will seldom know
before the day of the show
how the Halter Classes will
be run. Therefore you must
have your horse thoroughly
prepared to lead in a straight
line and to perform a good
turn in the haunches to the
fight.
The main purpose of
halter showing is to judge
the horse's conformation and
leg action. If your horse
moves at an angle or in a
crooked line when walking or
trotting before the judge, it
will be impossible for him to
get a good view without
moving around. It is not
good etiquette to make the
judge work to see your
horse. Therefore, straight-
ness is highly important.
,After your walk away
from the judge, you may be
asked to perform a 180
degree turn and return on
the same straight line. The
horse's right hind foot be-
comes the pivotpoint. There
should be NO backward
movement in a correct turn.
This is considered a for-
ward movement. The horse
.q
must not step
To teach thi move, stand
at the horse's left shoulder in
your regular leading posi-
tion. Place your right elbow
just in front at the shoulder
right. Do notget out in front
of the horse or over to his
fight side. Expect only a step
or two the first time and
praise him immediately
when you get it. At first,
don't worry about steps for-
ward. Just be sure he's not
getting the habit of stepping
back. This may take longer
to teach than some other
lessens but if you take the
extra time and patience,
You will need it later when
proper turn, it will pay off
later.
Your horse will be stiff and
unsupple when you begin
teaching this movement. In
time, though, he will per-
form this smoothly, coming
around in one easy move-
ment, right on line for the
trot back. It would pay to'
teach this turn 180 degrees
to the left also to make the
horse supple on both sides.
You will need it later when
riding him and performing
turns and roll-backs.
4-H judges usually ask the
exhibitor to back the horse
about 4 steps. Backing in a
crooked line will lose you
points. Y0u can position the
horse's head to, aid backing
straight and also to get the
horse to move a certain foot
to square up.
If the horse is backing to
the right instead of straight,
place his head in that direc-
tion. It will force his hind-
quarters back to his left. Do
the oppceite for a crooked
back to his left.
Raising his head throws
his weight to the rear and
aids him to move to a front
foot. Placing his head lower
throws the weight forward
aiding you to move a back
foot into better position.
Practice will help you beth to
communicate with head posi-
tioning to move a certain foot
in a chosen direction.
One must recognize in 4-H
halter showing that many
horses will have conforma-
tion faults that are difficult,
if not impossible, to over-
come in showing at halter.
But in this case the exhibi-
tor perf.,manes
¢ae horse to best advantage
is being judged, not the
horse's conformation as in
breed shows.

I--
I as Adams County Weed
Control Superintendent
attended the annual meet-
ing of the Idaho Weed Con-
trol Association which was
held in McCall on July 13,
14, and 15. On the 13th
there was a special meeting
composed entirely of
county weed superintend-
ents from all over the state.
After forming our own
organization 1 year ago, we
decided to have our yearly
meetings in conjunction
with the Associations
annual meeting in order to
save on travel costs.
At the superintendents
meeting we discussed the
need of a training seminar
that would be limited to
superintendents only. It
was tenatively set up for the
2nd or 3rd week in August,
of this year. The Dow
Chemical Company hosted
a luncheon and presented a
talk on the uses of Tordon.
In the afternoon we had an
election of officers for the
following year and discus-
sed the various methods
that other counties are
using to control weeds.
The first morning of the
Associations meeting we
were given a welcome by
McCall mayor, Bill Evans.
The program for the day
consisted of presentations
on Poisonous Plants,
Yellowstar Thistle, Herbi-
gation, Herbicide Registra-
tion, IACA Decontamina-
tion Unit, and New Herbi-
cides currently being
worked on.
On Friday the 15th we
had a business breakfast at
which time it was voted on
to elect Lawson Howland,
Washington County Com-
missioner, to the board of
directors for the Idaho
Weed Control Association,

You go to a department store not only
for the wide range of items, but also for
~{ the wide range of brands.
So you can get the best value.
That's the idea of our Insurance
Store.
It's a Department Store for all ?our Insurance Needs.
You can shop for the best them, we can explain what those differ-
ences are and help you weigh them care-
coverage fully.
You can compare
leading brands.
Since our Insurance Store isn't tied to
any single insurance company, you'll be
able to choose from leading brands
which offer the most to you in coverage,
low price, flexibility, service and value.
And we'll help you make the best choice

you on a particular brand.
Just as companies differ, so do the in-
surance policies they offer.
We'll help you find the one that
suits you best--even one you might not
know about, such as the PCP Plan of the

ate policies on yourself, your home and
your car into one neat package that can
actually give you more coverage for your
dollar.
You can select the
best value
In addition to price and coverage, there
can be other things to consider when you
are looking for the best value. And since

brands, but are thoroughly familiar with

money In
and we can show you
how to find it for some
of those things you
may have wanted.
Even though
loans are usually for
a specific purpose, the
Idaho First Second
Mortgage Loan can
be used for many
things. You name it
• . . vacation,
investment, cabin,
education -
That's why we
say it's 'working'
money.
Come in and
talk it over. The
Idaho First Second
Mortgage Loan
lets you borrow
what you need on the
equity in your home.
There are no
prepayment penalties
and it will not change
your existing mortgage.
You can even use the
money on a short term
basis, say when you're
changing homes.
'Working' money...
perhaps it's there in your
home.
