A SOLDIER TAKES THE
WITNESS STAND
Duluth Herald)

Perhaps too much of the indict-
ment against war has come from
folks who don't mind being called
pacifists.
But some of it has come from men
who are the last that anybody would
dub "pacifist instance, from
soldiers.
Last week Field Marshal Sir Will
liam Robertson, in an address before
the London Chamber of Commerce,
took the witness stand against war.
Now this man, certainly, is no pa
cifist. He was chief of the general
staff of the British expeditionary
force in 1915, and in that same year
he was made chief of the imperial
general staff, position which he
held until 1918.
No pacifist, this man, but soldier
tried and true. And he was speaking
where it might have been expected
that he would make a ringing appeal
for powerful army, powerfully
rights of the empire. From such a
man in such a place, most listeners
would expect to hear, as the New
York World puts it, "a fine, bull
headed and unreasoning patriotism"
But there was none of that. Instead
this soldier denounced war as utter
futility and mere useless horror. He
condemned the idea of looking to
large fighting forces for peace as
archaic nonsense.
Did he speak as an idealist, this
soldier who took the witness stand
against war? No, indeed; he spoke
as a realist!
He said that it cost sixty-five mil
lion dollars merely to lay down the
preliminary barrage at single en-
gagement, the Battle of Arras.
He said that the mere preliminary
barrage of the Battle of Messine cost
eighty-five million dollars.
Nothing there about the cost of
fighting the battles that followed
these preliminary steps. Nothing
about the precious lives lost and the
unutterable misery that came out of
these contests. He left that to the
imagination.
He also left to the Imagination the
splendid things for the betterment of
human living that such sums as these
could have done if the governments
that found them so readily and so
easily, for the business of destruction
could find them, in time of peace,
to use in fighting ignorance, disease,
poverty and squalor.
What travesty on civilization-so
called-that governments can find un-
limited money for the business of
wholesale slaughter, and cannot find
more than meager sums for the bust
ness of making life more tolerable on
this planet!
This is the judgment, nine years
after the World war, of one of its
greatest battle chiefs:
There is only one conclusion 1
can reach after military career
covering, on next Sunday, per-
Tod of exactly fifty years.
Human nature be wicked as 1t
may, l suggest that every man
and woman should theoretically
support all efforts made to de-
wise some more sensible and hui
name way of composing interna-
tiOnal differences than the ae-
Structive and futile methods upon
which reliance has hitherto
been placed without success.
without SUGGEST
Nothing stands out more wildly in
all history than the fact that this
be, utterly without success.
Why, then, be mad enough to cling
to it?

Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1927-07-08
(From Montana state coIlege)

-HE success or failure Of a COW ranch
' enterprise is often dependent upon
the size of the calf crop, says Louis
Vinke in his new bulletin Beef Cat
tie in Montana" recently issued by the
Montana experiment station. A crop OF
from 10 TO so per cent is considered a
good average, but in many cases the call
crop averages around 90 per cent or low
err. There are very few places where q
successful COW business can be conduct-
ed If only one calf is produced annually
for every two or three COWS.
The following suggestions will help to-
ward the production Of a good calf crop:
/. Dc not have too many COWS for one
bull. The best cattlemen use only ma
ture bulls and use one bull for every
twenty or twenty-five cows, except on
rough ranges where the number of cows
per bull is still further reduced. Year
lings are unsatisfactory on the range and
two-year-olds are not as efficient as
three-year-olds. A y~earling bull can
breed ten or fifteen COWS and a two-year-
old twenty to twenty-five COWS on small
pastures.
If one bull is used for every twenty
five COWS. then for every additional dol
lar that is paid for a breeding COW, SIS
more can be paid for a bull because the
added good qualities OF the better bull
will 90 twenty-five times as far as every
dollar invested in the better COW.
2. Many ranchers have increased calf
crops on the ranges by keeping the bulls
scattered among the cows. which are
herded closely during the breeding sea-
son.. The T. est service has found that
in rough areas judicious fencing, coupled
with careful range riding during the
breeding season, will result in a 10 pei
cent increase in the calf crop. II pas
ture breeding is resorted to, allot about
100 COW to a pasture with 4 thrifty
aforementioned bulls.
8. Use only bulls hat are known to
be fertile. Testing of the bulls with
identified COWS is a good practice.
4. Eliminate nonbreeding cows. Sci
cows that do not come in with calves
regularly, If they can be identified. KeeF
regular breeders unit they are eight Of
nine years old, as experimental result:
show that COWS produce larger calves
every year unit. they are nine years o.
age.
S. Keep bulls and COWS In a good
thrifty, breeding condition during thu
breeding season. Do not plan on con
ditioning bulls on the spring range, bu
feed them during the winter. Wher'
pasture breeding is practiced, it has beef
found a good plan to carry the bull
through the winter on limited feed an
then give concentrates during the breed
ing season.
