Ritchey has 14 years educational experience in Dalhart ISD. He served as principal of the XIT Secondary School for 12 years, taught math at Dalhart Junior High School for one year and was the assistant principal at DES for one year. “I’ve got some major shoes to fill,” Ritchey said. “Karen [Taft] has done a wonderful job here, and it will make my transition easier.” As principal of the elementary school, Ritchey’s plans include seeing the campus move out of the school improvement stage, where it has been the last two years, and achieve exemplary status again, a feat accomplished three consecutive years under Taft’s leadership. Ritchey doesn’t anticipate major changes right away and noted his staff will continue to implement the curriculum introduced this See RITCHEY on page 2A Dalhart’s first ranch rodeo tomorrow By IVY HOLLINGSWORTH THE DALHART TEXAN Photo Submitted All hail the Fiesta Queen Lindsay Herrera, age six, was named the Fiesta Queen at St. Anthony of Padua’s annual Fiesta, held Sunday afternoon at Rita Blanca Lake Park.

The XIT Directors, who host the annual XIT Rodeo and Reunion, will add another major event to their list of activities this weekend. The firstever XIT Ranch Rodeo will be held tomorrow, with high hopes that it will also be a yearly occasion. The ranch rodeo, sanctioned by the Working Ranch Cowboy Association (WRCA), is “dedicated to preserving the heritage and lifestyle of the working ranch cowboy.” Twelve teams, consisting of current members of working ranches from Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, will compete in five events that will include wild cow milking, stray gathering, branding, sorting and ranch bronc riding. Jason Swain, president of the XIT board and rodeo director, was primarily responsible for the ranch rodeo coming to Dalhart.

The location is pivotal to those coming in from other states. Swain said he also feels like the quality of the XIT arena appeals to competitors.

The winner of this competition is guaranteed a spot at the 20th World Championship Ranch Rodeo finals in Amarillo in November. In preparation for the event, the XIT board members have been hard at work making upgrades and renovations to the rodeo grounds. A new concession stand and handicap accessible area, both located on the west side of the arena, along with a concrete slab on the north side to accommodate a band for live performances, have been the newest additions. Swain said this event is something he wanted to do to offer another unique family-friendly experience in Dalhart and to give the audience a glimpse into the work that goes on at a working ranch. “We have this great arena and a lot of money has been donated to renovation projects and maintenance. I thought, ‘How can we use it for more events?’ and, ‘What better place to host a ranch rodeo than one of the original birth places of the XIT Ranch?’ I’m excited for this and hope people will enjoy coming to watch and the competitors will enjoy competing,” Swain said. Gates will open at 6 p.m. and the rodeo will begin at 7 p.m. followed by a live performance by Sam Griggs and the Night People. Tickets for the rodeo will be available at the gate.

Kasper, MD, FACOG DHCHD Dallam-Hartley Counties Hospital District The editor of the Delmarva Farmer made the observation that Americans as a whole have reached the Age of Agricultural Ignorance. This stage in our civilization is a direct result of the lack of “kids growing up on the farm.” There are many reasons for them leaving. One of the greatest being that farming requires manual labor. As our country has progressed, each generation was drawn to professions that demanded less and less physical exertion. A perfect example is the importation of foreign labor to do the grunt work. Grandparents and parents crossed the border to work in the fields. They, themselves were close to the land and understood farming. But when they raised their children, they deliberately discouraged them from working in agriculture. In the last five generations in the U.S., we have whittled down the percent of the population engaged in production agriculture from 25% in 1933 to less than 2% today. So what? Using modern agriculture practices, the reality is, 2% is enough to feed everyone else. It’s an amazing accomplishment that is now taken for granted. However, there is an accompanying negative progression that has contributed to the Age of Agricultural Ignorance. It is the expanding ignorance of science. Today in the U.S., 50% of all post-graduate degrees in science-based curriculums are earned by students who are foreign born. “Science based” include subjects like math, chemistry, engineering, medicine, physics and agriculture. Political science and economics are not sciences. What those of us in agriculture find hard to believe is, according to popular culture, we are not doing a good job. The community of denigrators accuse farmers of misuse of animals and land and our environment. They are innocently supported by an ignorant media (journalism is not a science) who are incapable of evaluating information like statistical significance, withholding times, FDA requirements and the writing on the back of a bottle. I grant that they get a disproportionate amount of the front-page scares and the denigrators stir up contributions to their antifarming causes and the gutless media-sensitive politicians (lawyery is not a science) and pop stars are no help, but… Dwarfing their squealing, the landslide of food production roars down through the planting, harvest, transportation, preparation and consumption of what we choose to eat. The food chain never stops. It is feeding 320 million people in the U.S. daily, plus furnishing $45 billion worth of food exports (2013). One might conclude that America’s horn of plenty will survive as long as foreignborn students help us continue to technically and biologically streamline farming. And as long as foreign-born laborers who are willing to pick up a shovel or drive a tractor keep immigrating, that we will not go hungry. A sad conclusion. Then again, there might be a renaissance of 21st Century Agricultural Awareness, where farmers and ranchers will be recognized for their contribution and treated like royalty! In the league of astronauts, Heisman Trophy winners, or even Oscar winners! Hey, you never know. Hunger is a powerful influence.

Elevators can either reject or impose Heavy rains and continued wet conditions were the culprits leading to the sprouting, but by about June 1, drier conditions began to prevail and the situation seemed to be turning around, he said. “I think the sprouting was not as severe due to the fact that once it got wet, it stayed wet,” Neely said. “Sprouting becomes worse each time it goes through a wet and then dry period, but in many cases this year once the fields got wet, they never dried out until recently, and then they were harvested soon after.” That isn’t to say Central and East Texas wheat growers haven’t had other problems, such wheat being laid down in the fields from high winds and heavy rains, along with hail and increased fungus diseases, Neely said. Rolling Plains wheat is just now reaching physiological maturity with harvesting beginning some places, and sprouting does not appear to be a major problem there, he said. “I think we dodged the bullet for the most part in that part of the state,” Neely said. “Wheat has to reach physiological maturity before sprouting becomes an issue.” As of June 12, “High Plains wheat was still in soft or hard dough stage, and sprouting hasn’t been a concern there thus far,” he said. “However, forecasts indicate another 5-plus inches of rain for parts of the Panhandle. And if that pattern continues over the course of the next couple of weeks we could run into many of the same issues the Blacklands growers were facing earlier this season.” AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries: Panhandle: The week started off dry and windy, but more rain came during the weekend. Temperatures were nearly normal for midJune. Soil moisture continued to be mostly adequate. Collingsworth County producers tried to catch up on planting until the area received as much as 5 inches of rain. Acres not planted in cotton will likely be switched over to grain sorghum. Stock- water tanks were replenished, and pastures were greening up nicely. Deaf Smith County producers were also trying to catch up on the planting of all crops, including corn, sunflowers, grain sorghum and hay crops. Wheat was suffering from diseases and problems associated with hail and earlier freeze problems. Corn planting was nearly finished. Some Hansford County dryland wheat was not in that great of shape; other fields were looking good. The wheat harvest was expected to start soon. Areas around the city of Gruver and north of Spearman in Hansford County received 2-inch diameter hail, which may have damaged wheat and cornfields. Corn planting was almost complete, and some sorghum planting For the week ending June 13, 2015, Texas auctions quoted feeder cattle prices mostly steady, with instances of sales ranging from $10 lower to $8 higher per hundredweight (cwt). Texas weekly direct feeder cattle sales were mostly steady to $2 lower, with instances of $3 to $4 lower. Wholesale beef values were higher, with Choice Grade gaining $1.07 to close at $245.72 per cwt and Select Grade gaining $2.85 to close at $240.42 per cwt. Net export sales for May 29-June 4 were up 40 percent from the previous week. Export shipments were up 15 percent from the previous week, and shipments primarily went to Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea.

Additionally, Texas Cash Markets Week Ending June 13, 2015 began. Cattle were making great gains on grassland. Weeds were starting to become a problem. Hemphill County received about 2.5 inches of rain; many parts of the county have received 20 inches and more for the year. Cows and calves were making extremely good gains as grass was plentiful. Heavy rains in Lipscomb County over the weekend washed out planted corn that had not yet germinated. Because of rain, Randall County producers were only able to plant about 40 percent of intended cotton acreage and only 60 percent of the corn. Most producers will plant grain sorghum in place of the lost cotton and sorghum acreages. Sorghum acreage in Randall County was expected to go up some 40 percent.

Homosexuality Is Sin Homosexuality is a sickening sin. It is not an alternate lifestyle. They are not born that way. They choose their own sinful way. Those who practice such things have no hope of heaven whatsoever. Public acceptance of this sin has grown—movie stars may endorse it—but, the Word of God condemns it in no uncertain terms: ‘And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust on toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” Rom. 1:27. “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.” Lev. 20:13. Also, 1 Cor. 6:9, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.” What If? What types of risks does your insurance policy cover?
