A last, minute change now pits the Beach Firemen against the Beach Merchants, according to word received at the News office this morning. Farmers and ranchers are so busy at this time of the year that not enough were available to make up a team. Hello, A little late with my article this morning. We held our annu- al colt production sale yester- day. Want t:o take a minute and thank everyone that attended. Some came tbr colts. Some came to visit. Some came for beer and brats. And we darn sure appreci- ated every one of you. So, being I'm a little late this morning, I had to rummage through some old articles and find one on horse sales. Here goes from a few years back. I thought I'd do a little adver- tising this week. We, Shirley is selling some colts this week. Really. I know. I "know. I didn't think she ever would. And l think they are the finest colts in the land. Oh, we don't really have the numbers u> have a sale, so we're part of the Black Hills Select Sale in Spearfish on Frida?: St u'ted out we had ten colts to sell. Then one got a cold. Nine. Then one got a bump on the knee. Eight. Then one got a little wire. Seven. Then the sire of three of them died :in an accident. And you know we couldn't sell the poor orphans. Four. But I'll guarantee the ones that made the cut are good. See you there. Oh, yeah, and before I forget we've got wine and cheese before the sale. Old cheese and young wine. I think I told you this story before, but it should be repeated once in a while just to keep everyone honest. It's a horse sale story. Now people m'e always leery of buying a horse at a regular auction sale. 'Cause one time a bad horse got sold at auction. I don't think it was on purpose. But everyone goes to the sale. They are as much a social event as they are business. People take time off from work. People drive hundreds of miles. People pack their kids and a box of puppies to give away in an old yellow pickup. They crowd in the cafes and in the aisles. A good horse sale is standing room only. And people go for one reason. To see if they can buy a really good horse cheap. One that Dad can rope a cow on, Mom can get the milk cows in on, Billy can take to the team roping, Bobbi can win the barrel racing on, and the nieces and nephews can learn to ride on. It helps if the horse is good looking, sound, bred really well, walks fast, trots easy, lopes smooth, runs fast, stops hard, and has good feet. If he is easy to catch, never kicks, guaranteed not to buck, and can cut cattle he's a keeper. But you have to buy him for about six hundred dollars cause that's what your old killer horse brought when you sold him. And once in a while you get a good one. Carmen's horse, CC, came from an auction i,q Dickinson. Cost six hundred dollars and I cried when Carrn turned down twenty thousand for him. She's blonde you know. But, then I guess C earned i place in our hearts and homes. But back to my story. Involves a horse trader from Minnesota We'll just call him Joe. was at a horse sale at Billings some years ago. And a rancher brought in an old horse he had retired. Old Buck was 22 years old. Horse's mane was long, feet were bad, and he was full of mud and cocldeburs. The old rancho felt pretty bad about having t, sell him. Joe felt sorry fbr the guy and bought the horse. Then Joe took the horse out t', his trailer. Trimmed his mane Pulled his tail. Brushed the muu and the burdock out. Trimmed his feet. Put a little oil in hi's mane to make it shine. Saddled him up and resold him two hours later. This old rancher gets home and hollers at Ma to come look at his new saddle horse. Best deal he ever got. Sold Old Buck for $600 and got this horse that looked just like old Buck di( fifteen years ago tbr $2500. Ant he's only nine years old! Gotta go halter break colts.

In some places the ground (or hik- ing and biking trail) is virtually covered with acorns. Of course I'm not the only one noticing all those acorns. I've heard several people mention it. Some are telling me that a heavy acorn crop predicts a tough win- Let. I don't buy into those kinds of winter predictions, but I will pre- dict that those animals that pre- fer acorns are thinking they've died and gone to Heaven. No doubt many animals such as squirrels, grouse, deer, deer mice, and many others will take advantage of this veritable feast. Many will enter winter in better condition because of it. Some populations may actually increase (e.g. deer mice . The heavy acorn crop may affect us in another rather unexpected way. Spikes in the incidence of Lyme disease often occur two years after a heavy acorn crop. Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria carried by deer ticks. Common carriers of the tick are deer nfice and deer. Researchers have tbund that heavy acorn crops can result it', higher con- centrations of the mouse and deep population in the area. As a result, the tick population increases. The tick tile cycle is such that after two years, humans are more apt to contract the disease. Heavy acorn crops tend to occm" rather spo- radically. As with other plants, environmental fac- tors at pollination influence fruit development and seed set. Many &you have noticed this in apples and juneberries. There are also some internal mechanisms involved. These factors aren't well understood, but abundant data support the hypothesis that plants have internal mechanisms to assess how much energy can be allocat- ed to seed and fruit development. Jack-in-the-pulpit, for example, will produce no flowers, male flowers, or female flowers (and subsequent fruits and seeds) in correlation with increased :;:" : energy reserves. If you give it some thought, it makes sense. Reproduction is the ultimate objective of the spe- cies, so there are strong mechanisms in place to ensure it occurs. With all those acorns around, I've had a real urge to try making acorn pancakes, bread, or just roast a few. The stuff might taste good, but the preparation normally involves extensive boiling to remove the bitter tannins. It's a real ordeal. There's a reason most people don't make the stufP. I sure hope this urge passes soon. My wife does toot Maybe I'll have to settle for watching the other animals compete for all those acorns. "Get Out and Enjoy!"
