tries of the world to a country that
imported a great quantity of meat for
its own use. He then explained how
the shortage of ships and the needs of
the allied armies have so increased the
demand for meat that the United
States has been rejuvenated in the in
dustry and is today engaged in fur
nishing / -actically the whole meat
ration for tie 100000 soldiers bear
. ing arms under the allied flags.
He ed that the smaller farmers
of Kansas and other sections of the
country awake to the use of the siIo
in making possible greater produce
ton of beef cattle. The great ranges
CT the west have gone for good, Smith
declared, and it is up to the small
f. rmer to supply a goodl. share of the
meat of the world. Smith told of how
silage from stripped corn stalks can
be made the basis for winter feeding
of beef attic IL it is properly backed
up by feeds of alfalfa and sweet clover.
Smith was introduced to the diners
this noon by George c. Wheeler, editor
