RECENT DAIRY SHOW
BROUGHT OUT REAL FACTS
August Wolf Analyses the Results in
Few Words-AlI Problems Lead
to the Farm.

One OF the cardinal truths empha-
sized at the first Northwest Dairy
Show and convention in Spokane re-
Gently is that the worlds greatest eco
nomic problem leads to the farm, says
August Wolf in the March issue Of
Western Union Life Monthly. Grains
and grasses, beef, pork, mutton and
poultry and fruits and vegetables are
the soil builders, the home builders,
the town and city builders. More food
stuffs mean factories, more hay means
livestock, which, in turn calls for pack
ing plants; fruits and vegetables de-
mand storage houses and canneries
and creameries follow the mich cow
Great areas of land throughout the
Northwest. which once went begging
for buyers at from so cents to s1.25 an
acre, are now bearing enough food
stuffs to raise their value hundred
fold. The land was always worth a
hundred times more than it's selling
price. but not to the man who did not
or would not improve it. Today there
is new order of things-the farmer
who wasted a dozen acres upon one
steer. must hand that land over to the
modern dairyman, who builds a silo
with his barn and makes the land sup
port as many persons.
Since service to others is the first
principle of good citizenship, we are
calling upon our representatives In
Washington, Montana, Idaho, Oregon,
Utah and Wyoming and the people
generally to continue with vigor and
enthusiasm the good work of encour-
aging mixed farming in their respect
i've communities and districts, for, as
one of the worlds foremost agricul-
tural authorities says:
MIXED farming in this wonderland
OF golden opportunities will mean an
increase In rural population, smaller
farms, better soil, larger acre yields,
better homes and more contented peo-
pie and will bring about a general i'm
provement in agricultural, industrial
and commercial conditions"

OPPOSE BIGGER STANDING ARMY
Peace Strength of 100000 Set by Hay
Bill Given Approval


Washington, March 20.-By refusing
definitely to increase the regular army
provisions of the Hay bill the house to-
day made it almost certain that the
measure will go to the senate origin
ally as framed, and by an overwhelm-
ing vote. Chairman Hay of the mill
tary committee was hopeful tonight
that a final vote could be reached to-
morrow.
The net result of the days debate
on proposed amendments was to sus-
tain the recommendation of the presi-
dent as to the size of the regular army.
The Hay bill carried virtually the pro-
gram mapped out by former Secretary
Garrison in this regard. but substitutes
the liberalization of the national
guard for the continental army. The
president ha sapproved it's general out
line, but stands uncommitted as to de-
tails
Three times during the day the
house defeated proposals to increase
the peace strength of the regulars
fixed by the Hay bill at 100000, ex-
pandable to 175,000 by executive order
If war is imminent The debate CEN
tered upon the Kahn amendment to fix
the authorized peace strength at 220-
900, but the first vote was on a substi-
tute offered by Representative Fuller,
republican of Illinois, to make it
