tial points in converting grass and
feeds produced in this country into
profitable livestock products. Never
before have these facts been present
ed in such a concrete, practical and
convincing way. Those in charge of
the exhibits and demonstrations have
drawn upon the experience of leading
livestock producers, the results of ex-
periments and their own wide obser-
vations, first to find out the prob
lens confronting the producers of
livestock in this country, and then to
assemble the best information from
these sources which may help to solve
the problems.
As Mr. Stapelton explains, perhaps
not every suggestion and idea brought
out by the train will find applica-
ton on every farm and ranch, but it
is hardly possible that any farmer
or rancher in this country can attend
the livestock day program without
| getting few pointers which will
have real money value to him.
Those in charge of the exhibits
realize that there may be rather wide
difference between different sections
of the state and between different
farms and ranches as to means and
methods of getting best results from
livestock. Such possible variations are
taken into consideration, in the ex-
hibits that will be shown and the dem
constructions conducted. Some can grow
or obtain corn in abundance; some
depend upon barley; some have pas
lures; some have an abundance Of
open range; some feed alfalfa hay;
some sweet clover; some native hays;
some have an available supply Of beet
pulp; some can secure valuable con-
centrates-t these and the other many
important factors which make one
farmer, ranch or district different
from another have been taken into
consideration and there will be points
brought which have a direct bearing
upon the operation Of every farm and
ranch
/ Illustrative Of the practical nature
: Of everything on the livestock day
{ program are The exhibits which will
e be seen in the feed car and the dis
S cussions held in connection with them
i There will be considered the prob
lens Of range management, the diff
II ferent kinds of range grasses wit
it their feeding value and general i'm
+ portance. the kinds of feeds that art
: produced or can be produced here anC
the combinations of these feeds which
will give best results.
Equally practical and important
viii be the exhibits of beef cattle,
sheep, dairy cattle and hogs. Then,
to bring everything down to its To-
cal application, the general livestock
meeting to be held at local hall will
consider the vital problems confront
ing the farmers and ranchers in their
operations in this area. There will be
no opportunity for considering such
matters as control of predatory ami
mails, eradication of poisonous plants,
cooperative shipping, the testing of
cattle for tuberculosis, COW testing as
sociations, means of securing desired
breeding stock; regulations regarding
the management, operation and con
troll of range and the many other
problems which have a local applica
ton.
Along with those in charge of the
train, the local committee in charge
of the livestock day program have
exerted every effort to make the visit
of the train and the meetings held in
connection with it of the greatest pos
sible value to farmers and stockmen.
They invite and urge all to be there.
