County Superintendent Endorses Hot
lunch

Il
In recent letter from Mr.. Boerger
he makes the following statement.
u have read with much satisfac-
ton that you are making efforts to-
ward hot lunches for the children in
the rural schools. This movement |
has an appreciate number of sup
porters in the county, among the par
ents as well as among the teachers |
and in all the schools in which hot |
lunches have been served, the prac-
tice has given great satisfaction.
We have at the present time perhaps
twenty-five to thirty schools in which
hot lunches are served, and both
pupils and teachers are loud in their
praises of it."

Frank o. Lowden, war governor OF
Illinois, a recognized presidential
possibility and an ardent champion
of the live stock industry, charter
member of the International Live
Stock Exposition and actually engag-
ed in the campaign for the improve
ment Of American live stock, COM
menting on the present and prospec-
tive status of the industry, remarked:
"Twenty years ago when the
first International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton was held at Chicago the institu-
ton was no more essential than at
this moment. During that two
decade period the industry has been
through period of evolution; each
season has developed new production
problems, both in the spheres of
breeding and finishing. Foreign
competition, especially in the case OF
beef, has become of serious I'M
port, rendering maximum results I'M
perative. A brief era of free grass
and cheap grain has passed into the
historical stage; making gains with
cattle, hogs or sheep has enhanced
in until even with the new scale OF
values the industry ca nbe profitably
maintained only by intelligent meth
DDS, and the lessons annually taught
at Chicago during the first week IN
December therefore possess added
import.
eth. problem confronting the
American live stock grower at this
iuncture combines economical feed
inc with improved breeding; there
fore, the rev departure providing Tor
a comprehensive display OF such
such grains and grass products as
are essential to the manufacture OF
beef. pork and mutton on the farm
is a timely innovation. The liner
national" has kept pace with every
mutation of the industry during ITS
twenty years of educational ehorS
and in the hands of the puollc-sp1ritea
men who chart its course, will con-
tinue to discharge that function. !.
eve have emerged from the pel1o i !
of waste to one of highly intensified
systematic production in which only
the fittest can survive if fiaa1c.ai re-
: s,,lts is to be the objective. Feed IS
more than ever a factor OF primary
inheritance to the live stock grover
and fhe new department of the 'lr.-
ternasional will rank with the estao-
1isbed features Of the institution IN
commanding public interest"
