THE CABINET

THE CABINET.
Plain Language. First Assistant Post
master General john H.. Bartlett, who
last month instruct d postmastels to omit
departmental slang from their reports
and to use every day language instead
last week issued a statement to bis sub
OrdiDates urging tt en- To see that letters
STAMPED for specia delivery should really
be specially delivered. He pointed cut
that the Special Delivery stamp is q con
tract between the mailer and the u. S..
He invited public criticism Of the special
delivery service in future.
Quite as notable as the frankness of
the statement, which implicitly admitted
a shOrtcOmiug of The Department. was
the statements language. First Assist,
ant Postmaster Ger eral Bartlett practised
what he had preached about every day
English. There was no bureaucratic cir
cumlocutiOn, no departmental obscurity.
Mr.. Bartlett said. Special Delivery let
tiers must not be allowed to accumulate
for the convenience of Special Delivery
carriers. They must be delivered prompt
ly and as soon as received, even ii the car
riers do have to retraCe their steps. If
you are not getting good results on your
Special Deliveries, it would be a good
idea to change the man who suTervises
1t and put IL somebody that can get re-
suits. If the boys are not faithful and
prompt, change them. If you are in a
dilemma and cannot get anybody to de-
liver your Specials, take a substitute or a
regular or anybody just make it a busi-
ness to get those Specials delivered and
delivered promptly.
Fancy Language. Far different from
the accent Of the First Assistant Post
master General was the accent Of a bulle-
tir issued last Weel by the Third Assis-
taut Postmaster General R.. S. Regar.
Mr.. Reqar merely wanted to urge the
public to address it Christmas mail plain
ly, wrap it securely, dispatch it early,
pr pay postage fully. He pretaced his
message as follow. The tang IN The

FORD AIRPORT, Detroit, June
21.-Twenty five of Americas lat
est commercial airplanes started the
1000 mile National Air Tour at ten
0 clock this morning.
\ dozen other planes, not compel
ing for the $4,000 prize money ana
for the Edscl Ford trophy, joined
the contestants. 1t is the third run
ming of the tour, previously known
as the Annual Commercial Airplanc
Rcli@b.lity Tour.
Twentyfour cities will DO visited
by the filters, who are rated not so
much on speed as reliability and eff.
ficiency. I he tour ends here Ju:y

The planes go east to Boston,
double back by New York and Bath
more, head into the middle west as
far south as Dallas, Texas, and then
proceed to Chicago.
This trip was taken by the spon-
sorS of the tour primarily to stimu-
late interest among eastern manu-
factmers in airplanc and airline
work.
It had been intended to cover the
south, the CaroiinaS, Georgia an:
Alabama, but because of uncstab.
lished routes and lack of accommo.
dating fields this feature has been
curtailcd until probably 1929. 1t is
understood the tour will 90 to the
Pacific coast next year.
The first tour, which was similar
to the old "Glidden Tours of auto

Fifteen of them completed the trip.

Los ANGELES, June 27.- In
years past the beef cattle industry
in the west has been conducted
pending upon the season grass sup
plies. Where feed lot operations
developed they were conducted
along the line of separate bust
ness from that of the range cattle
producer. In those days the reason
for this, of course, was that much
of grass land was not suitable for
cultivation and the calves were
produced in those sections and
shipped to sections where proper
concentrated feeds were availab Bile.
This practice continues to large
extent at the present time but the
tendency on the part of the range
cattleman is toward developing
feed lot operations in connection
with his range production. This
gets away from the uncertainty of
depending upon seasonal grasses
and the losses which have occurred
so frequently from marketing
standpoint brought about by the ne
cessity of moving the bulk of the
years production in a short period.
The coupling in of the practice
of feed lot finishing has been made
possible to large extent by the
constantly increasing acreage each
year coming under irrigation, with
an increased yield of roughage and
concentrates at points nearby the
range producing sections. In many
eases even though feed lot finish
ing is not pursued cattle Saisers are
utilizing different forms of rough
age and concentrates as supple
mental feeds to fill in during sea-
sons when the grasses fail, thus
spreading out the marketing period,
accomplishing better distribution
and putting a finish on beef ami
mails which makes them more desir-
able.
Soil Fertility Recognized
An important element in combin-
ing feeding of livestock with the
range production has been the &C.
onomical maintenance of soil fertil-
ity in the irrigated sections and
and this element is being recogniz-
ed, as it has proven itself in the
middle west. A considerable amount
of educational work is being done

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,

on 5 schedule for the day called for
a five mile road jaunt with his
trainers in the morning and work
out with his sparring partners and
rope skipping in the afternoon.
Estelle Taylor, Dempscy's wife,
was to leave today for Hollywood
TO star in movie. She probably
won't see Dempsey again before
the fight,
The challenger already looks

1|llz's Azaas situation,

In the west along these lines and
noticeable progress is being made.
1t is fact that the concentrates
grown in the west such as barley.
milo and kafir have as great a fat
tening value as those produced in
the middle west and many times are
grown more economically. Then,
too, the southwest particularly has
access to large amount of cotton
seed cake and meal which has a
high feed value due to the amount
of digestable protein which it con
tains. Many range producers are
using cotton cake by spreading it
on the range to supplement the
grass ration and it has proven an
excellent conditioner where the
grass crop is poor or weather cOndi
tons such as to make grazing diff
ficult, few pounds of this feed
taking the place of large amount
of forage.
Concentrated Food Used
Several large plants are project
ed in the southwest, especially in
Southern California, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing feeds to
meet the growing requirements.
These concerns are equipped with
modern research and laboratory de.
partments for the purpose of find
ing and putting together in the best
way possible various foods adapted
to the fattening of livestock. No
doubt, the manufacture of these con-
centrated feeds will represent
most important western industry
and will be of material assistance
in rounding out the agricultural
program of the west in utilizing
much material that is now being
wasted.
The west is admirably situated to
produce its own beef cattle, rails
ing its own feed and carrying on
extensive feed lot operations either
through the range producer doing
the actual feeding or producing the
feeders on the range and selling
them to nearby feed lot operators.
The coast demand for we'll finished
beef animals in large volume has
made 1t necessary to reach back to
distant points for supplies but in
dications are that these demands
will soon be met by local western
production.
