The Kinkaid Lambs
Platte Neb BY W.
Steele OF he Farme and

stay and to make the farmer rich. The
valley adjacent to North Platte Is per-
haps as fertile a portion of the land
as there is covered by the Kinkaid bill.
A great deal Of this land was with
drawn from entry under this bill and
tracts, pending an investigation by the
irrigation experts. 1t is claimed by
those who ought to know that no plan
of irrigating this territory can be car
ried out and that the man who goes in
there now and takes a quarter will at
no far distant date get the other three
quarters that are allowed under the
bill.
1t appears to be the universal opinion
that this bill will be but the means of
getting this land into the hands of the
great cattle barons. There is PROPOSE
ton. now being formed. or we might
say, that is gradually taking form,
which will ask for a change in the bill,
allowing the homesteader to commute
at the end of two years by paying the
usual charges and so cents per acre.
This, of course, would soon pass all the
land into private ownership. and the
sooner that is done the better. 1t does
seem that the cattlemen of the west
have had a good deal done for them in
the way of allowing them the free use
Of unoccupied grazing lands. and some
claim that such 4 proposition as the
above is but another move assisting
them. While we do not favor the mil
lionaire cattlemen, yet we must admit
that we do favor any proposition which
Will bring some revenue to the govern
| rlent from these lands.
We are not so sure that the price
mentioned is an unjust one. We could
hardly say as to the price. but just as
an illustration. say that Il man takes
up his section of land and lives on it.
| That does not give him land enough to
make living. This is not agricultural
| land, not in any sense of the term, but
| must be used wholly for grazing pur-
poses. AS we have said before. a
small amount of roughage can be
grown, but only enough for winter feed.
| nothing more. In this section it is eS-
timated that it requires from ten to
sixteen acres to keep one grown ami
NAL. See what this means. Where is
| the family that can live on the produce
from the few COWS that can be kept
on one section of such land. a ranch
man should have at least 100 cows,
which, together with their offspring up
| to 3-year-olds should run up to 300
head, not less. Even ut the low esti-
mate of ten acres per animal, this
would require 5000 acres, OF about six
sections. This does not hold true of
all the land under this bill. but where
it does hold true we believe no mistake
is made in allowing the cattemen to
buy all they can handle. The small
cattleman stands just as good show
as the big man. The faster this land
is taken up the faster the appropria-
lions can be made for the irrigation
propositions, which the government is
taking up in the various states. Little
of this will be done i'll Nebraska. but
what can be done should be done at

Number of Farmers Increasing.

Chicago Record Herald: The re-
entity published census report on
"gainful pursuits in the United States
has evoked a discussion of the possible
social and political effects of a con-
tinued drift of the people away from
agriculture. Have we ceased to be 81
nation of farmers" and are the cities
to keep on growing at the expense OF
the rural districts?
We do not need the poet to tell US
that God made the country and that
man made the town. The larger cities
furnish US daily with evidences that
they are man-made institutions and
that in the making of most Of them
man did Il very bungling job. That
the wealth Of the country comes from
the soil and that our national prosperi-
ty rest upon agriculture, are PROPOSE
tons so self-evdent as to reqire no
demonstration by expert economists
The truth of these propositions will be
generally recognized no matter what
the census figures may say.
The census report on occupations
would indicate to the superficial think
er that agriculture has ceased to be
the leading industry of our people. The
table showing the proportion engaged
in the five principal classes Of Occu-
patton in 1880 and 1900 is as follows:
1880 1900.
Agricultural pursuits 500. 1920 $50
Professional .............. 3.46 4.3o
Domestic and personal -. 1000 1921
Trade and transportation 1908 1850
Manufacturing ............2 PLY 24.4l
The table indicates a decline in the
relative Importance of agriculture
among the gainful pursuits. 1t shows
n decrease of $50 per cent. in the pro-
portion OF persons engaged in agricul
ture since 1880 and an increase of SAG
in the proportion engaged in commerce
and manufacturing.
But those who are inclined to grow
pessimistic over the threatened "ex-
tinction" of agriculture will need to go
deeper into the figures. 1t is found
that the number of persons actually
engaged in agriculture increased be-
tween 1880 and 1900 from 7,714,O00 to
1882, 900. 1t is to be remembered also
that this number is likely to keep on
increasing for many years, not only
through the opening Of irrigable pub
lie lands to homesteaders, but because
of the drift toward smaller farms and
more extensive farming. The scien-
tifc agriculturist of the future will get
more out of a fifty-acre tract than the
old time farmer" got out of quarter
section.

Market Glasses of Cattle

The exhibit Of market classes of cat
tie and the various grades at the
worlds fair will be the first display OF
this character ever made.
The Illinois experiment station has
the distinguished honor of presenting
the exhibit which can but serve a valu-
able purpose in demonstrating the val
ue of improved breeding or otherwise
as well as to illustrate the commercial
uses Of all the market classes and
grades OF cattle that are daily sold at
the various stock yards OF the country.
Colonel Charles F. Mills, the chief Of
the department of live stock of the ex-
position, predicts that this exhibit of
cattle will strongly emphasize the great
value Of, and the necessity Of using
only the best sires of the improved
breeds of beef cattle.
The committee representing the ex-
pertinent stations are to be congratu-
lated on the success attending this fea-
ture OF the animal industry exhibit for
the universal exposition.
