W. r. SHAW RETURNS
FROM SAD JOURNEY

Prof w. r. Shaw has returned
from st. Paul, Mimi, where he was
called by the illness of his father,
who died June 25, before his son
reached his bedside.
Deceased was a prominent agricul-
turist and author of national reputa-
ton. In commenting upon his life
the st. Paul Pioneer Press said, in
part:
Prof. Shaw was born on a farm
in Ontario, January 8, 1S43. He
lived on the farm. helping with the
work in summer and going to school
in the winter, until he was Is years
old. There his school education end
ed, but his farm education kept on.
When he was 40 years old he was
running 500-acre farm, and when
he was As years old he was called to
head the government agricultural
school at Guelph, Ont.
1t was his work in Guelph, the
birthplace of the late James j. Hill
that attracted the magnates atten-
ton. The acquaintance in later years
ripened into an intimate friendship,
resulting in Prof. Shaw's change of
residence from Guelph to st. Paul.
In matters of an agricultural nature
Mr.. Hill placed the utmost confidence
in the Judgment of Prof. Shaw, MAX
ing possible the successful dry farm
ing project in Montana.
Men We're scarcer in those days
than now" was the way he was wont
to explain how the boy. whose book
education stopped when he was Is
years old was called to a professor
ship
Prof. Shaw came To Minnesota, in
1893 and was made member of the
faculty of the agricultural school
He always wanted broader field to
work in, chance to plant the the
cries that grew in his mind, in other
soil than grey matter.
He made his first attempt nearly
20 years ago when he placed before
the late Mr. Hill his theory of dry
farming in Montana. He lived to see
his theory accepted by Mr.. Hill and
put into practice successfully
The time was not ripe when he
first approached the railway mag
nate. In 1907 the railroad president
made him agricultural agent of the
cific railways. From that time until
he was forced to cease active work
because of his health, he turned
many semi-arid stretches of Montana
land into productive fields.
The Introduction of blooded
Guernsey cattle into the United
States from Scotland was due largely
to the efforts of Prof. Shaw. He was
missioned by the late Mr.. Hill to
buy a herd Of these animals to be
used to breed up the dairy stock of
the Northwest. The first cattle
brought to st. Paul for Mr.. Hill were
kept on his farm at North Oaks,
where Mr. Hill was buried
Hundreds of farmers have benefit
ed by raising Guernseys raised from
this original herd.
Prof. Shaw has been president of
the board of trustees of Manchester
College for many years. Recently he
was unanimously elected by the Mac
aleaster board president emeritus
He had been an elder of the Central
Presbyterian church for the past rs
years.

WHAT KANSAS DID

Something like 100000 men
maybe Il few thousand more, maybe
few thousand less-are ont in Kan
sas wheat fields, or will be before
the month of July has passed har-
yesting this years war-winning crop.
Where does this army of harvest
hands come from? Well where does
Pershing's army of fighters come
from? From stores and banks and
farms and offices and shops, from
every trade. every profession. every
walk of American life. Just so in
Kansas, The army of harvesters
comes from the villages and towns
and cities -mcn of every calling,
men of every kind, who left their
town affairs for a few weeks and
flocked to farms for precisely the
same reasons that their relatives and
friends came to the colors-to play a
part in winning the war.
Kansas is using as much outside
farm labor 6 S could be secured, of
course, but that supply is sufficient
10 fill only small part of the need.
Kansas is doing what every state has
done or must do-harvest its own
crop with its own labor, for the most
part
Kansas towns have shut up shop
SO to speak, during the heavy period
of the harvest. Men from towns and
cities have left their comfy jobs and
professions and are putting in few
weeks of the toughest work they ever
tackled-doing it for sheer patriot
ism, although, of course, they earn
harvest-hand wages-doing it to save
a food crop, the saving of which is as
necessary as the holding of a sector
on the fighting line.
1t is an inspiring picture of patriot
ism. First the young manhood of a
free people freely marching away to
fight for the worlds freedom; now
the home-remain'n manhood leay-
ing desk and shop and turning to the
harvest fields, in order that the
fighters, and the civilians sustaining
the fighters, may be fed and the fight
continue to victorious end.
1t really means that the allies
have won another great battle-that
is the true appraisal of this scene in
Kansas, where men from every town
and city went in'o physical training
classes for few weeks hardening
and then swept across the grain
fields, toiling determinedly-n be,
