THE 1920 INTERNATIONAL LIVE
STOCK EXPOSITION

In the travail Of a great industry an
event Of supreme Importance will de-
velop at Chicago the first week Of
December. II is the twenty-frst an.
niversary Of the International live
Stock Exposition and will be staged
this year on an unprecedented scale,
be IN as concerns numbers and merit
North America at the conclusion Of
the European war was in possession
of bovine and ovine seed stock Of in
calculable value and the uppertendom
of this national possession will be
displayed at Chicago this year. In
view of impending meat scarcity, the
problem Of replenishing the national
larder is of more Importance than
ever at this juncture.
Profit in live stock production here
after will depend on quality. The
function of the international" is inn
provement of the herds and flocks OF
the Country-d ldSh 10 WHICH the
agrarian interest must now address
itself vigorously. On this account
the 1920 display possesses more than
usual interest, concerning not only
producers but consumers.
As a spectacle Of animal life this
years international" will exceed in
scope and magnifcence all former
efforts in the show ring on this CONT
nent or Europe
More closely associated than ever
before are live stock and grain pro-
auctions problems; hence this years
corn show, made possible by liberal
donation from the Chicago Board Of
Trade, will be staged on a more ex-
tensive scale than last year. Corn
makes stock raising possible: without
live stock "King Corn" would be mi
nus a stout prop.
Every up-to-date farmer should at
tend the 1920 International Live Stock
Exposition at the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, November 81 to December
