$5s,146,0o0 in 1916; and s62 ,453 900 in

In other words, if the tc-

1919 mad been the same the increased
valuation. of livestock for the four
years, during which the cost of feel
and labor increased materially, would
lie s7,95s,20O, OF eleven per cent.
With the reduction in area of avail |
able free ranges and the advent of |
cereal and diversified farming, consid- |
cradle decrease in the number of range |
stock, especially of other cattle and
sheep, have occurred thruout the en-
ire state. The minimum number was |
'eached about eight years ago and
since that time, with the exception of /
yaried fluctuations in the numbers of
swine, the tendency has been to grad
tally increase the number of stock,
PARTICULARLY of milk cows, other cattle
md sheep.
The establishment of this industry
las been accomplished with great
of labor and at much expense
md not until little over two years
go did it begin to, produce adequate
financial returns on the proceeding
ears investments. Immediately
hereafter the cost of feed and labor
dvanced. Mill feeds were difficult
o obtain and in many areas not
rocurable and the near failure of oat,
arley and grain hay crops in many
ocalities added to the seriousness of
he situation. These factors contrib
ted to the reductions in the number
milk cows and other cattle turnout
nc state and swine in local areas.
n many irrigated sections producing
surplusage of feed decreases were
lade in the number of cattle, the |
armers claiming that owing to high
rices it was more advantageous for
'em to market their produce than to
tilize it for food. Only the fairly
pen fall and winter this season pre-
sntcd greater losses, especially thru
1T the areas where oats and barley
ere severely damaged and the grain
~ crop practically failure. HI
The unfortunate feature of the live III
ock situation is the fact that after II
any years of labor and financial in II
'stment the farmer has been forced II
reduce the number of stock at a II
ne when he was just beginning to II
ap profitable returns. Additional II
airs of labor and investment will be II
sential even under normal conditions II
restore this industry to the basis Z

Collegiate Distinction Worn to Morn.
ing Classes in Accordance With
Custom of Larger Institutions

Washington State should follow the
lead and custom OF older institutions
of higher learning, the members OF
the class of 10 appeared in class
rooms for the first time on Monday
May IS. wearing the collegiate can
and gown.
Because of the fact that strangers
from better known institutions than
Washington State repeatedly aues-
toned as to why the seniors did not
appear on the campus, because OF
the realization that senior classes
elsewhere do so appear-and because
OF the general sentiment favoring
the bringing of regulation college
customs to Washington State. the
members Of the class of 10 voted
10 appear in caps and gowns curing
each morning session of classes, from
May rs until the end OF the college

TEMPLE OF AGRICULTURE

The business men of the nation,
including bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers, and transportation men,
have representatives in Washington
at this time presenting their ideas
and their programs on the problems
OF reconstruction. In fact, they have
gone so far as to create peace in
dustries board which shall bear the
same relationship to peace-time re-
board bore to the wartime period of
destruction. To be more specific, the
peace industries board is intrusted
with the question of fixing prices on
American products by agreement. 1t
has announced recently a 10 per cent
reduction in the price of steel and the
next day stock advanced S4.25 per
hundred on the steel market. They
have already announced that they are
soon 10 take up the question of de-
termining prices on food products
with view to lowering the cost of

Labor has its representatives in
the capitol of the nation and they
are knocking on the doors of the
house and senate to ask for more

also have their representative on the

constitution OF the league of nations
creating an international bureau OF

general under the constitution of the

TRACK TEAM LEAVES
F0R SEATTLE MEET
Pacific Coast Conference Track Meet
10 BE Held May 31--Team
Leaves Thursday

The big meet OF the year, the one
that is to decide the Pacific Coast
championship, is 20 be held next Sat
uTday, May 81, at Seattle.
Teams representing ali the schools
in the conference will be there. This
includes the two California schools,
Stanford and U. of California, the
U. of Washington, u of Oregon, the
Oregon Agricultural College, and
Washington State College.
1t would be folly for anyone to
predict a victory for any school, un-
less it would be California, and even
then they would be predicting some
thing that could only be guessedat,
California naturally is expected to
have the best team. They have an
enrolment five times as great as al
most any team in the north. They
turn out for track all winter and
have five months training back of
them, while the northern schools can
only expect to get from four to six
weeks training.
On the other hand, the records
and the time made by the schools
in the Northwest have been just as
good or better than the time made
by the southern schools in their
meets
Washington State can not be sure
of any walkaways as she has been
in the two-mile and pole vault here
tofore, as California and Stanford
both have exceptionally good dis
lance men as well as man who is
vaulting over II feet.
1t is expected that there will be
several records broken in the meet,
as there are several men in the diff
ferent teams who hold the present
records and if they are pressed very
hard they will either break their
records or the man winning from
them will breake it,
There is no doubt, with men like
Smith, Phillips, Ratchford and JENNIE
in the race, that Washington State
won't be on the bottom. Howell has
just as good records as the California
men in the low hurdles and stands
a good chance in them.
The men making the trip are
Captain Phillips, "Jit" Smith and
Ratchford, in the distances; Parker.
and Calder in the quarter and relay;
Sutton, in the relay and sprints;
Howell in the hurdles; JENNIE, in the
jumps and pole vault; and either
King. McCroskey or Baker in the
weights.
