THE MEAT PROBLEM

any purpose, which either grows con-
siderable grass or may be made TO sus-
tain with comparatively little effort a
very good variety of tame grasses
which will provide grazing for
from 1--WE to seven months on
the year. The south is rairiy weI'
served by railroads and II Is easy 10
reach large consuming centers with any
available surplus products. The ell
mate is ideal in many respects. There
is a generous rainfall and in most TO-
calities il is well distributed. There
are numerous springs and plenty OF
shade In the coastal plains region
where running water is not so common
ly met with artesian wells will provide
an unlimited supply of water. The grow
ing season varies from 200 to 800 days
I'm length. In the winter the thermom-
eter seldom goes down to zero; in most
sections it ranges from - to 20 de-
grees above. Cattle can unquestionably
live out the whole year round in all this
vast extent of territory as well as in any
other range territory with which 1 am
acquainted. There is a general belief
that the summer temperatures are ex-
tremely oppressive, and that cattle VIII
not thrive under these condition. Texas
and Mexico are maintaining millions of
cattle successfully under climatic con-
ditions representing a much greater
range of extremes of heat and cold than
occurs in the southeastern states.
Associated with cattle and live stock
enterprises all my life. IL seems to me
that / am justified in stating that in
so far as climatic conditions are con-
cerned. this great new stockman's para
disc offers every advantage. Do not
conclude from this that shelter of any
kind is not necessary or inadviSable for
such is not the case. 1t is true that
cattle can be carried through the winter
without protection, and this is more es-
pecially true of the great coastal plains
section than OF the Piedmont country.
Nevertheless. many years of observa-
ton and experience lead to the belief
that cheap shelters which protect the
animals in case of violent rains and sud-
den cold snaps and in which the feed
ing may be done wisely and economical
" constitute a wise and essential part
of the stockman's equipment. Those who
are not in position, however, 10 invest
money in such structures at the incep-
tion of a live stock enterprise should
not let this deter them from beginning
operations. Any county possessing such
a long growing season as has been indi-
Gated may be counted on to raise a great
variety OF feed if the soii Is properly
handled and managed. and this is GER
tsinly true Of the southeastern states
as everyone knows who has I'm the least
familiarized himself with the variety Of
crops which may be gRown for utiliza-
ton as pasture winter roughage and
concentrates.

COLONEL BEING SELECTED
FOR HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
Examination Of Candidates Begun at
Franklin School Today-May
Change Uniform.

Examination of candidates for the
colonelcy of High School Cadets was be-
gun at the Franklin School this after
noon. Nearly forty applicants made
their appearance. From this group it
is probable that the two lieutenant
colonels also will be chosen, although
the examination will be primarily for
the selection of the colonel.
Arrangements for the examination
were made by Stephen E. Kramer, as
sistant superintendent of schools in
charge of the military organization
The examining board consists of Col
Charles II. Ourand, n. 6. d. c., retired;
Mai. c. Eugene Edwards, N. G. D. c.,
retired. and Wallace Yater. former COL
onel of cadets and acting commandant.
Today's examination was oral. To-
morrow. beginning at 2:30 pm, a writ
ten examination for the selection of
other officers is to be held in the
Franklin building.
Because of the national defense act of
June 3. 1916, which prohibits the use Of
tfhe army uniform Insignia for organ
1Zations other than the army and a few
specially noted exceptions, it may be
necessary to change the insignia Of the
High School Cadet uniforms this year
Whether or not this will be necessary
will be determined by Mr.. Kramer be-
fore the work of making the uniforms
is begun.

Mr.. Burr, as chairman of the COM
mittee on schools. also reported that
number of improvements had been
made at the Van Buren School, on w

it was decided to ask that the floor
in the basement of this school be re-
placed, and also that the window sash
be made more secure.

plan for future sewers in the suburb
contemplated an extension on 18th
street. from Good Hope road to Min
Good Hope road and street, and on
Minnesota avenue. from Good Hope
road to 18th street.
Another letter stated that the recent
ly acquired park on Minnesota avenue
at T street would be turned over to the
chief of engineers of the War Depart
ment, who. In turn, would assign 1t to
the superintendent of public buildings
and grounds, and that improvement of
this space might be expected by next

A letter from the engineer Office gave
notice that a sea wall would not be con-

hundred and fifty national guardsmen.

ed officers. who are encamped at Camp
Stuart. overpowered the guards and
gatekeepers at one of the main en-
frances to the state fair last evening
and swept on into the grounds. Police
men who went to the aid of the guards
were powerless to quell the mob and an
armed guard sent from Camp Stuart
was helpless. The soldiers rushed
through the exhibit buildings and con-
cessions, and are said to have insulted
women and made themselves obnoxious
to other attendants upon the fair. Two
arrests were made. W. c. Saunders,
manager of the fair, said that he would
appeal to Gov. Stuart for protection
against further invasion by the SOL
diers. Officers at Camp Stuart refuse to
discuss the affair.
Late last night about twenty-five
guardsmen attacked the policemen at
the fair grounds station in an effort to
rescue their comrades who are under
arrest. The policemen drew their pis-

ADVANTAGES OF DISTRICT
FOR ARMOR PLANT CITED
Arguments Favoring Location Here
Forwarded to Secretary Daniels by
Brightwood Citizens Body.

Arguments favoring the location OF
the government armor plant in the Dis
trict of Columbia were forwarded today
to Secretary Josephus Daniels of the
Navy Department by the Brightwood
Citizens Association, through the pres
,, ident, Louis P. Shoemaker. The brief
was drawn up in accordance with ac-
ton taken by the executive committee
of the organization last night.
After setting forth that the associa-
ton favors the establishment of the
plant in the District of Columbia, the
brief sets forth the following argu-
ments,
First. All the important business of
the government is transacted in Wash
ington. The bureau of standards. which
will, no doubt, have much to do with
the production of the steel plant. Is
here.
Second The Washington navy yard
is an important factor to consider IN
this connection.
Third we assume that the steel
plant, wherever located, will be prop
erly. protected from foreign or domes-
tic invasion, disturbance or destruc-
ton; and we also assume that Wash
ington is already protected, or ought to
be amply protected, by reason Of the
fact that it is the capital city of the
country. that the President resides here.
where all legislative business is trans
acted. and that the Treasury Depart
ment and other important publicsbuild-
ings, which, if destroyed, could never
be completely replaced, are all here:
Fourth. if this plant is located else
where, great cost would have to be in
Cured for its protection; and II addi-
tional expense is required, this addt-
tional security will rebound to the bene-
fit and advantage Of Washington, where
so much valuable property Of the ma
ton is located. which should be fully
protected in every possible way;
Fifth. the people of our country are
beyond doubt interested in the deVel-
opment of their capital city. They de-
from every standpoint. 1t is already
the center of political, educational and
social life and stands first In the ad-
miration and appreciation of the peo-
pie. because of the opportunities it af-
fords to cultivate art. science and lit
erature. 1t has in the past and will
to a greater extent in the future he, as
it ought to be. essentially an Amer
lean city, cosmopolitan in character.
and give evidence of the essentially
characteristic features of the nation;
and
Sixth. as an effort has been made to
impose upon local land owners much
of the cost of making Washington
creditable to the country and the ad-
miration of the world. we believe that
the development of trade. commerce
and business should be encouraged in
portions Of the District of Columbia
and outlying territory near the city
which could be utilized greatly to its
advantage. enlargement and improve
ment. develop its national character
and afford an additional opportunity
for local revenue without interfering
with its esthetic features and home
like Character
