night with President Sam Robinson

semblyman Myron D. Witter, who
are to be delegates Tuesday to the

At this time the delegates will
ask for an increased appropriation
for the experimental farm at Melo-

ton is needed at the farm in order
to supply information desired by

operations and to keep the business
of beef production i'll the place 1t
should occupy as one of our impor-
tant means of subsistence. There are
many problems confronting the in
dustrv but one of the most impor-

1t should be borne in mind that
we are dealing with a commodity
that calls for different methods OF
handling and treatment IN order to
produce the best product in the most
economical manner. Taxes, labor and
practically everything connected
with ranching have increased; con
sequently, the cost OF production
has increased and the gain of few
head of calves in the herd Will go
long ways in determining profit
or loss in ranch operations. When
cattle were ON the lower levels

that it must be today because the
matured animals hardly paid the
cost of raising.
Many things enter into The trans
action such as sires of low vitality
due to a lack of proper care or in
sufficient feed; lack of proper care
aud feed for the COW itself while
carrying the calf and not enough
feed after the calf is born to sus

one-third of the airplanes turned
out in the United States this year
Six factories, one of them listed
among the largest in the country,
are busily turning out the latest
model airplanes. unable to meet the
demand despite improved production
methods.
The six, in order of their size and
output, are: Travel Air, 20 planes

seven; Cessna Aircraft company,
three; Swift Airplane company, two
planes produced TO date with pro-
ieeted production of one a week !;
and Laird Aircraft company, one
every two weeks. The Wichita fac
tories produce all types of planes
except the giant tri-motor. Luxuri-
Gus cabin monoplanes and biplanes,
