SIS Of Situation In.
Nation.

Louisville, Ky. - In the support OF
the movement for better bred and
more meat animals In Kentucky being
conducted by tho Louisville Live
Stock Exchange comes the announce
ment by Herbert Myrick, farm expert
that after analysis Of the livestock sit
uation in the United States that the
sheep population Of the country has
shrunk nearly two-thirds since 900.
Mr.. Myrick criticizes reports Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture charging that their surveys have
for years overestlmated the number of
livestock in the country. He declares
that the census of 1920 shows only
34,90OO00 sheep as compared with the
department of agrlcuture's estimate
at the same dae of the census report
Of 4S,6O0,OOO sheep.
His figures extended to hogs show
that the census reported 100000
hogs fewer than the department Of
agriculture's survey showed.
From these figures Mr.. Myrick
pointed to the serious condition Of
the livestock field in America declar-
ing thst the average of all classes of
livestock showed that the meat supply
was onl yabout half as great for each
person as formerly.
Encouragement to all movements
for better grade and more livestock is
suggested. Emphasis is given to the
Farmers Better Sire Sale Of 200 pure
bred bucks and ewes and 1000 high
grade ewes to be hel dat the Bourbon
Stock yards August II by Louisville
Livestock Exchange and supported by
the Kentucky Purebred Livestock AS
ISOLATION, the University of Kentucky
College of Agriculture and the United
State Department of Agriculture. The
farmers are reminded that they will
make their own prices at this sale and
that the Exchange and all concerned
are agreed not to derive one cent of
profit from the transactions.

General H. L. Rogers, Quartermaster
General, expressing their interest in

made:
President Harding: 81 wish to ex-
press my hearty interest in the Quar-
termaster Corps and deep appreciation
of the most important services it has
rendered during the long period of its
most useful existence"
Bernard NJ. Baruch: 1T fell to me
perhaps more than to any other civil
ian to know what the Quartermaster
Corps Of the Army does, how it is the
very life of its movements. 1t is the
branch of the service that has never
received due credit for the duties 1t
performs. am proud to be an honor
airy member of The Society of Quar-

Frank A. Vanderbilt: 81 understand
it is the purpose of The Society of
Quartermasters to foster a spirit of
cooperation and friendship between
the men actually in the Quartermaster
Corps fthe Army and the business
men who would be associated with
them, were war to be renewed. | be-
lieve that this is most valuable idea.

Charles M. schwab: There 10 no
doubt that one of the lessons of the
war looms big before us Ia that mod
crn warfare on a large scale cannot be
successfully waged without the coop
Grafton Of the industry Of the country.
In other words, the man behind the
gun, and the man behind the industry
OF the nation must join hands In Or
dc rto bring about victory. The Soci-
city Of Quartemaster Officers, is, there
fore, to be congratulated upon the wis
dom and foresight Of It's primary aim
and purpose"
Mr.. Baruch, Mr.. Vanderlip and Mr..
Schwab are all new members of The
Society Of Quartermaster Officers, and
all have shown keen interest in pro-
noting a better understanding be-
tween the Army and the big business
and industrial interests of the nation.
