military considerations: third. the need
Of maintaining economic pressure on
Germany; fourth. combination Of all
efforts and resources of the Allies

LIVE STOCK EDUCATION,
BEGINNING NOW, TO HELP

ing is the ability of the stock farmer
TO recognize quality in his live stock.
One of the features of the next an
nual National Western Stock Show
which will be held in Denver begin,
ming January 20. will be the Students
Judging Contest in which judging
teams from agricultural colleges from
all over the West will participate.
This will be the openinf feature OF
the show and is expected to attract
more than usual interest at the next
show because of the fact that num-
Der of western colleges that have not
heretofore taken part in these con-
tests are preparing 10 enter Judging
teams.
Aside from the premiums won, the
contestants in these contests secure
some very valuable knowledge regard
ing the quality of all kinds of live
stock.
The contestants are required To
place a number of animals in each
class according to their ideas as to
their individual merit and are then re
CURED to give their reasons for sc
placing them.
