Prof. w. J. Kennedy Of the Ames
faculty in an address at the Wapello
County Farmers Institute declared
that Iowa farmers must pay more at
tention to the production of big cattle.
1.-The larger states Of the west he
said. "are not producing 40 per cent
of the cattle today they did some
seven years ago. The big cattle bust
ness of the entire country has de-
creased almost 40 per cent in the last
ten years and population has In
creased over 20 per cent. That is why
big cattle and beef steaks are so high
In price today. It is question OF
supply and demand" Prof. Kennedy
said there are only two ways Of avoid
ing high priced beef in the future. One
is to quit eating beef, something we
are not likely to do, and the other Is
to produce more beef cattle. Through
the use of the silo and the alfalfa he
added, farmers can produce beef at a
handsome profit. This has been amply
demonstrated Animals will be mar
keted at an earlier age. 1t will mean
more intensified farming. 1t will mean
building up the fertility of our soil and
a more permanent agriculture; thus a
better and more prosperous Iowa

cars we're built in the United States.
In 1912 the total number of cars mani

pretty and very graceful and the plaits
are laid so fat that they give straight

the fullness yields to every movement.
This one can be made with perfectly fiat

they form a little box plait at the center,
or it can be accordion plated by machinery
in whatever way it is treated, it is charm
lngly attractive. The skirt can be cut
full length or shorter and joined to a yoke
as liked and the finish can be made at
either the high or the natural waist line,
For the accordion plaits, all the pretty,
thin silks, nets and the like are appropriate,
and, for the fiat plaits, such materials are
utilized and also French serge and similar
materials. The skirt is cut all in n piece
and the yoke in four pieces.
For the medium size, the full length
skirt will require 713 yards of material AZ

with the yoke E yards al Oh 4 yards 50
or "A inches wide with u yard AT or "a
