v. s. MILLION HEAD
SHORT ON CATTLE

Shortage OF 100000 head of beef
cattle exists in the United States
today, according to NJ. d. Dix, en-
eral superintendent of the western
district at Denver fer Armour 4 Co.
This shortage is shown by re.
ceipts and statistics compiled at the
five big cattle markets of America
Chicago, Kansas City, St Joseph.
Sioux City and Denver-for 1912 as
compared with this month last year
II Is due to the breaking up of the
great cattle ranches in the west.
ern states and the failure OF the land
owners to raise cattle on small tracts
In the opinion of Mr.. Dix and others
who have studied conditions.
There is little expectation of
American cattle today, whereas few
years ago large shipments were made
to England and Europe. This trade
has been seized by South America
and Australia Huge concerns like
that of Sir Thomas Upton 4 Co. and

that is only one Of the reasons
Elko is developing its agricultural
resources more rapidly than any
other county in the state, with the
possible exception Of Churchill, which
county has also multiplied in assess.
able wealth during the past decade.

This in brief gives a general idea
of the products on display. Some one
asks: What is the use Of having
this exhibit In the country when we
already have such an exhibit lat the
county fair?" Let us compare briefly
the educational results of the country
fair and the county fair. At the coun-
ty- fair there are, horse races. side
shows, merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels.
and vendors of all sorts. and descrip-
| tons. each one shouting for his wares
until, withal, there is such hubbub
and excitement that the ordinary
country boy would no more stop to
look at a sample of corn or COW OF
a pig than he would to examine the
needle work In the fine arts depart
ment. He is carried away by the ex-
citement and pleasure of the occasion.
The country fair Is different. 1t is
community undertaking and every
one In the community has had some
| eAAA6 " w Will ~, dIlu everyone, III
interested in making it a success.
When the Judging began at the Grant
township fair the boys crowded around
and we're anxious to hear and see why
the judge placed this sample Of corn
first or that sample last. tThe fact
is that the parents OF these boys had
urged them to make the exhibit.) The
judge took great care to explain his
decisions to these boys. This interest
was not confined to corn, but was
even more apparent when the live
stock were placed. The ball game.
called for three o'clock, was postponed
until 4:30 in order to let the boys see
the live stock judges and hear reasons
given concerning the same.
have judged county fairs every
fall for the past eight years and at
none of them has there been such
genuine interest among the younger
people as at this little community fair
out in the country
There is. In this experience of these
Wright county farmers a suggestion
for farmers in every other rural com.
mpnity in Iowa. What they have done
other country people may do. II there
were several hundred such fairs in
Iowa every year, their influence for
the improvement of agriculture and
the betterment of rural life would b
beyond all measure.
