that the republican administration

After March 4, next, there will still

STOCK JUDGING
CONTESTS HELD
GOOD FOR YOUNG
Develop Deep Impressions on
Minds of Young People,
]. H. Sheppard Says

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 22.-Stock
Judging contests are good thing
because they leave deep Impressions
on the minds of the young people
taking part, according to J. H. Shep-
perd of the Agricultural College who
has had charge of the college con-
tests of the International Livestock
Exposition for the last 16 years.
Often the young men taking part
become SO interested in fine cattle
or stock generally, that they decide
then and there to have thoroughbred
stock Of their own, Mr.. Shepperd
says~i in. an Agricultural college bull
letin which is ready for distribution.
A summary, made after tracing the
history Of men who had taken part in
the international contests showed
according to the bulletin that of the
439 men whose records were avail
able, A percent were teachers and
Investigators in the Agricultural
Colleges of the United States and
Canada; Al percent were farmers
and breeders; about percent were
editors, secretaries of
breeders associations and livestock
commission men; while percent
were engaged in other work.
4 The judging contests are of COM
late origin, having been
initiated during the last twenty
years. The old school of livestock
judging was made up Of the horse
trader, stock buyer, shipper and
farmer breeder, according to the
bulletin. Since then it is a conserva-
tive estimate to say that 100000
young persons have received syste-
matte courses in livestock up to the
end of the 1921 school year the writ
er says.
He adds by comparing scientific
interest in agriculture now with
that of thirty years ago that when
he graduated in 1891 from the Iowa
College he had the
doubtful distinction Of being the
only agricultural student in college,"
