CATTLEMEN TO MEET AT SNI-
A-BAR FARM OCTOBER 10

The cattlemen's meeting to be held
at Sni-a-bar Farm, Grain Velley, Mo-,
Oct. 10, just twenty-five miles out of
Kansas City on the Chicago and AL
ton, will give the public an opportun-
ity to see one of the most extensive
demonstrations of the value of pure
bred sires in the production of beef,
that is available today.
The equipment of this Farm in
cludes four hundred head of grade
Shorthorn cattle. The foundation for
this herd was laid by the late w. R.
Nelson and the plans for breeding
cattle were outlined by him. Obser-
vations he had made and information
he had secured from literature on the
subject led him to believe that much
improvement in farm cattle could be
made by the use of high-class sires.
He realized that if this could be done,
the possibilities for profitable cat
tie business on the average farm
would be greatly enhanced. AS the
result of the plan, the herd of cattle
now at Sni-a-bar Farm includes the
| original grade cows, most of the high
class registered Shorthorn bulls used
| in improving the herd, cows of the
first cross and of the second cross.

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

In 1920, Missouri came into the fam
lily of the American Union of these
United States, but not until 1921 was
this new commonwealth admitted into
full fellowship.
From 1920 to 1861, Missouri played
leading part in every western state
and territory in all efforts that requir-
ed character and courage.
From 1861 to 1866, Missouri furish-
ed more soldiers to the Federal and
Confederate armies, population consid-
cred, than any state of the north or
south.
In the golden era of peace, from
1865 to the springtime of 1917, Miss
ouri had grown in the confidence and
faith of the nation mad the world, be-
ing possessor of wider range of ag-
ricultural, mineral and commercial re-
sources than any competitor under the
Stars and Stripes.
When the Congress of the First Ma
ton of the Earth declared war in be-
half of human liberty, Missourians
were found in the formost ranks OF
power and command-and, in fact,

AN EXPERIMENT
IN PUBLIC CONTROL

One of the problems which Director
General McAdoo acquired with the
railroads was "What to do with the
express business The express COM
panies were doing their business un-
der contracts with the railroads which
it soon appeared could not be carried
out under the general operation con-
templated, in unifying the railroads.
After considerable negotiation, the
plan has been adopted for organizing
new company, differed by the most
progressive express men, which
bought the property of all the old ex-
press companies, assumed their leas-
es and took up the handling of all the
express business of the entire coun-
try where the old companies dropped
it on July /, 1918. The contract with
the Director General under which the
new American Railway Express Com
pany operates is unique; the Govern
ment, taking the scale of the rail,
roads, is to be paid 50.25 per cent Of
the gross earnings of the Express
Company from transportation of ex
press matter and in addition is to par
ticipate in all net earnings in exces:
of five per cent return on actua

press Company. The Government
Share is graduated, being one-half O.

per cent; two-thirds of the next thre'
per cent, and three-fourths of any fur

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES

(By County Agent Glenn S. Henslcy)
Excellent Display at Garden Carnival
The garden carnival held at the
Pennington High School Friday was
without question a decided success.
The display showed that some excel
lent work had been done by the school
children. The attendance in both the
afternoon and evening showed excel
lent interest on the parents part, but
even with this good showing we must
not stop for there is not any reason
why there should not be twice as many
entries or even four times as many en-
tries next year as was had this. A
small per cent of the boys and girls
enrolled in the War Garden work
brought exhibits to the Carnival.
Whenever we get the right sort of
interest stirred up in all of these
youngsters they will all want to bring
exhibits. While entries were being
made Friday morning one little girl
who had nothing to enter said, II in
tended to bring my pumpkin but the
little boy next door had larger one
so | wouldn't bring mine." The prop
err success in the Garden Club work
depends mainly on the parents of the
children. The children must be given
a chance to grow something of their
own and they must be encouraged
throughout the whole season to do
their very best. The children should
be required to take care of their gar
den and when arranging their can
ming display, to do their own canning
so that when asked how certain things
are canned or certain things are
baked, they can tell just how it was
done. Next year let US all work for
bigger garden carnival in which ev-
cry member in the War Garden work
will be required to make an exhibit.
1t may be that next year every men,
Der of the United States School Gar
dens will have to make some garden
display before they will be recognized
as doing all that the government ex-
poets of them.
Early Sowing of Wheat.
On account of labor shortage and of
the desire to sow unusually large crops
much wheat has been sown during
hessian fly in the county last year; so
far there has been little shown up this
year so that this years early sown
wheat may not be affected by the fly,
but one thing is sure: should farmers
persist in sowing early for several
years the fly will become thick enough
to seriously damage the wheat crops
as it did several years ago.
A Big Seed Corn Shortage.
1t is the duty of every farmer to
select his seed corn as soon as it is
matured and to dry this corn out
thoroughly and store it away where it
can be kept dry during the winter
Last summers drought burned VI
acres and acres of corn in the best
corn counties of Missouri. The unfav-
orable weather during the summer
and prospects of late corn being in
jured by frost, makes it the duty OF
every farmer who has corn which will
make good seed to take particular
pains to save his seed in good shape
1t will be badly needed next year.

MERIDIAN FARMERS SEES
NEED OF PROTECTIVE LAWS

w. B. Walt, one of the level
headed farmers residing near Victory
was in town Monday He is very
much pleased over the success of the
republican party in state and nation
as it insures he says some wise pro-
tective tariff legislation. This leads
to the thought that just now
is a splendid time to have the repub-
lican party in uower. Thousands
OF soldier boys returning home and
reduction of employees In the ship
yards, will mean that employment at
good wages will not be as easy to get
as during the war period. American
labor should be protected and Amer
incan made goods should sell in the
market without competition from
pauper labor and sweat shop goods
shipped in here from foreign coun-
tries.

BUNGLING DELAY OF
THE CIVIL WAR TIMES

Turning to Woodrow Wilson's
History of the American People, it is
interesting to note the strong dis
approval in dealing with the
facts that the civil war ended with
out any appearent preparations for
reconstruction. When the confed-
eracy surrendered the government at
Washington had no plans to meet
the new conditions. President John
SON was evidently bent upon a pro
gram of generous treatment of the
southern people, but was met by q
congress evidently determined to
crack the lash over the naked backs
Of the vanquished. 1t took years to
solve problems that should have been
dispassionately discussed and deter
mined before the surrender of the
confederacy. The people Of the world
have learned some lessons since
1866. Congress has already been at
work on the problems, with the
help of President Wilson.
