PLATTEVILLE JOURNAL ITEMS.

The service pipe leading from the
main to the M. E. church broke, and it
was necessary for wOrkmen to work
all night Christmas eve to get down
to the pipes so as to stop the leak. The
fitting showed that poor lead must
have been used. The ordinance pro-
vides that service pipes from main to
curb boxes must be lead and must be
extra heavy. The city should inspect
public work of this sort and thereby
doubtless forestall all such disasters.

must soon face a shrlnkage of food
supplies.
Without such action as Is here sug-
| gested and urged, the farmers of
the United States will not have enough
machines or men in 1918 to meet the
demands upon them.
1--WE are now confronted by shortages
of raw material and factory labor that
VIII begin to be manifest in shortages
of certain lines of farm machinery this
fall and will result in serious shortages
In many vital lines next year. Stocks
on hand In important kinds of tools
and machines are smaller than in nor
NAL years, because of earlier scarcity
of factory labor and rapidly tighten
ing scarcity of all raw materials. s"a
Farmers have deferred during the
last three years the replacing of old
and badly worn tools and machines.
Now, confronted by the practical GER
tainty that the war Is to continue in
definitely, with attendant assurance of
heavy demand and high prices for all
their products, and by an inevitable
shortage of farm labor, they cannot put
off longer requirements of worn out
machines and the additions to equip
ment necessary to increase acreage
and production.
ut is also essential in meeting the
demand of the farmers for implements
that there shall be preference in trans
portation for raw materials to the fac
tories and for finished goods from the
factories to the farms.
"For the last ten years farm labor
has been more and more difficult to
secure, and now with an enormous in
crease In the demand for labor In mu-
nitions factories, and the withdrawal
of many young men from productive
occupations, there is bound to be
shortage Of farm labor such as this
country has never known. In Kansas
alone vast number of fertile acres on
which the wheat crop failed will lie
Idle this summer, chiefly for lack of
labor and partly through lack of ma
chimes to replant to corn.
"We regard it as vital to keep on the
farms the men now there who know
the business, especially the men
trained in the use of labor-saving ma.
1t would be wasteful and
foolish to let them go and afterward |
try to replace them with unskilled men.
1--WE seek no advantage for our in
iustry over any other, but we realize
md we want the public to realize that |
Without this product and without suf-
icient labor the farmers of the United |
States cannot increase or even main
ain their production of foodstuffs next |
'ear. To avert the calamity that such
/ condition will surely produce, our In
lustry and the farming industry which
chiefly supports must be put upon
he same preferred basis as the making
(. war munitions, even If other less
ital Industries suffer thereby for ma
erals and men.

materials be given equal preference

ing machinery and the finished goods
be given equal preference by the trans

munitions of war.
"These measures must be taken i'm
mediately to be effective, because the
use and demand for farming machinery
are seasonal. We must have right now
materials and the men to make the

this suggestion. In fact, the evidence
all points toward the soundness of the
contention that irrigation of German
crops would have so increased the
yield as to have eliminated the present
shortage of food.
at should be remembered that
America leads the world in agricul-
ture, and that in irrigation by pump
ing its leadership is unquestioned cv-
en- by those who insist that America
is behind Europe in intensive farm
ing By the sophistical method of
comparing our average yield of grain
per acre with that in Europe, it has
been frequently attempted to prove
that America has much to learn in
agriculture from Europe. But the
fact is that not the yield per acre
but the cost per bushel should be the
final criterion of efficiency in grain
production. Judged by that criterion,
America has led every nation on earth

seat of the AberdeeD-Angus breed, and
there is documentary evidence to show
that in 1923, the black homyl cattle
occurred in Aberdeenshire, but the first
I specific mention of polled animals Of
the breed is that of the priZe-winning
'black humble" exhibited in 1911 from
well known Aberdeenshire source,
the influence of which on the breed
is still felt. These concentrated facts
prove that the Aberdeen-Angus is the
| oldest polled breed-in Britain at least
and accounts for it's extraordinary
prepotence in transmitting its color
and hornless character.
At very early date, history tells,
they had fairs in Scotland where
breeders disposed of their surplus
stock, and 1t was easily snapped up by
English graziers. Englishmen = al
ways great beef eaters-found that
their choicest meats came from the
Scottish side Of the border, and it was
while this trade was at it's height, in
the middle and latter portions of the
Aoth NChtuIy, thuI uutHehlC IStOIu
was made of the breeds progress in
Aberdeenshire, Angusshire, Kincar-
dineshire and Morayshire. In Aber-
deenshire we find the breed described
as having been improved" by putting
the best males to the best females,
rules being laid down for breeding
both for beef and the dairy, which
proves the breed to have been origi-
nally what we term dual-purpose one.
The breeds of Aberdeenshire are
fully described and innumerable de-
scriptions are given of the fine speci-
mems killed in the City of Aberdeen.
The butchers or fleshers there had
their own guild and were men of
high class, and among them particular
mention is made of the Williamsons
Of st. Johns Wells and Robert Walker
Of Wester Fintray. Both were breed
ers, though the Williamsons were the
largest dealers in Scotland, their only
rival being, as we are told, Charles
McCombie of Tillyfour.
Hugh Watson made the first great
exhibit Of the black polls at Perth
show in 1929. Mr.. Watson also showed |
the only Angus steers exhibited, one
pair bred by himself, the other by Mr.. |
Johnstone. Mr.. Watson also exhlb-
tied at Kelso in 1882; Aberdeen In |
1884; Perth, 1886; Dundee, 1913; In |
yerness, 1876, and lastly at Perth,
1852. -. - 80
Being at this time well established
as aanational breed, 1t was felt that a
trip abroad would extend its fame, /
and its first foreign exhibition was at
the Paris International Exhibition Of
1856, where 1t was shown i'm consid- |
cradle strength. This was the show
at which Charlotte and Hanton, shown
By Mr.. McCOmbie, made such an Inn
on the judges that they |
