The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-01


chat humanity always has had in these
classes, so necessary to man exist
ence, in recent years has been turned
to strong assistance. Colleges and uni
versities have been giving entire de-
partments to their interests and many
schools are devoted to agriculture, ex-
duding all other branches of study.
Special courses, demonstration trains
and active campaigns under the leader
ship Of scientists are becoming common
and are giving their studied efforts to
make advance in bringing animal and
vegetable to the ideal.
The Panama Pacific International Ex-
position will be university at which
every phase of these industries will
be treated with the care and skill of
the laboratory. 1t will not be primary
education; it will not be higher educa-
tion it will not be education by pro-
ducts. 1t will be education that in
eludes all Of these, and the visitor may
choose the branch that he feels in need
of most.
But the biggest appeal of this educa
tion will be the method of its presenta
tion. 1t will be plum of marvellous
flavor placed in the center of the
richest offering ever set before the
world.
Three Departments.
Three departments will present the
strongest special features for the agri
culturist and the stock breeder.
The State exhibit promises to be
laboratories where the best products
are shown by the men who produced
them. The national pavilions will be
another source to demonstrate the sue
cess of foreign scientists and workers.
New York, among other things may
show her supremacy in the production
of hay, Iowa and Illinois may present
interesting exhibits Of corn, and down
the line of states and territories and
among the nations special excellence
will be given a proper display.
View herds, composed of animals
and exhibits of poultry, which have
been selected by competent authority
as being typical of their several breeds
will be maintained by the various
breed record and poultry associations
and by states and countries on the
grounds between February 20 and Sep
tember 20, 1915.
$227,000 for Livestock.
In the past expositions livestock has
been exhibited only few days, late
in the season. This arrangement has
deprived the great majority of visi-
tors of an inspection and study Of the
various breeds and types of domestic
animals. Competitions in the depart
ment of livestock will take place in
October and November of 1915. In
addition to the $175,000 which has
been set aside as cash premiums, other
sums have been appropriated by asso-
Citations interested, which brings the
amount to 1927 900
Milk, the one universal food, will
be the object of great attention IN the
livestock exhibits. Its sanitary pro
duction and care is an enormous prob
lem and the solution will be aided by
the exposition displays which will
show creamery appliances in opera
ton
Dairy demonstration will be an i'm
portant event in the exhibits of live
stock. Sanitary handling of milk and
its products, the proper feeding OF
COWS, production of certified milk, the
reduction of bacterial count and the
daily recording Of each COW in spe'
cially selected herd of grade animals
chosen for the demonstrating of type
value will be in charge of recognized
authorities.
With the increase Of the "high cost
of living attention has been centered
in the meat-producing animals and de-
mands of various kinds in many coun-
tries are being made to increase the
number Of meat producing animals
The sheep has come in for large con
1deration and in addition to the view
herds Of sheep, which will be main
tained on the ground, there will be the
sheep competitions which will bring
