STATE FACING
SHORTAGE OF
DAIRY CATTLE

In many Southern California
counties dairymen are facing
shortage of good cows to replace the
natural losses in their herds, accord
ing to word reaching Frank Bey-
schlag, local farm advisor, from the
Farm Bureau Cowtesting Associa-
ton. But this is not true of Imperial
county dairymen, Beyschlag states.
Dairying in the valley is quite
profitable to the dairyman who
knows his cows and gives them the
proper attention. Hundreds OF young
Eeifers are shipped out of the val
ley to all parts of the state. espec7
iallv in the southern portion, the
local farm advisor said today.
The dairy business in southern
California in general, the report
stated, is highly competitive. Many
of the newer dairymen pay heavy
interest rates on borrowed money
and when the price of feed or cows
go up, or the price of milk goes
down, many of them find them
selves in serious difficulties.
Dairymen who have been making
money have done so only by keeping
the highest producing cows, the re-
port shows. With supplies of cows
in California and other states be-
coming scarce, real problem may
soon be faced unless dairymen raise
more heifer calves themselves or
sell them to people who will raise
them, is the opinion of farm ad-
visors in this state.

Antarctic Discovery.

To whom is due the credit for the dis
covery Of the worlds seventh continent?
France claims this honor for Dur
Vile, England for Sir James Ross, and
the United States for Admiral Charles
wilkes. It now generally is acknowl-
edged that wilkes actually saw the
headlands Of Antarctica for the first
time. but there still are valid grounds
for dispute.
Seldom mentioned is the name Of an
other American explorer who ventured
into the Antarctic nearly 40 years before
wilkes and discovered either Antarctica
itself or some closely adjacent islands.
This was the Yankee whaler Nathaniel
Palmer of Stoninston. Conn. On most
maps a section of West Antarctica is
still designated Palmer Land. Palmer,
however, was not geographer. His In
terests were commercial and not scien-
tific. The name Of the intrepid whaler
comes before the public once more by
the presentation to the Library Of Con-
gress Of the log of one Of hts voyages.
The lure Of the continent in the Far
South long had intrigued adventurer'
at the time of Planners discoveries. De-
spite the explorations Of James Cool
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-23

there still was lingering belief In the
existence of such continent With great
projections into the Southern Pacific
an unknown, habitable land. It would
constitute almost as great a prize to the
nation discovering 1t as the New World
had proved to Spain. The voyages OF
Palmer were sufflcient to destroy this
legend. The nations realized reluctantly
that there was little but the honor OF
discovery to be had in the Southern
seas.
This alone. however, proved q SUM-
cient attraction for French, American,
British and Russian expeditions. The
Russian, under Bellingshausen. was the
earliest and the most ambitious Had
it not been for the worst of luck Bel
nngshausen and not Palmer would have
been entitled to clear credit for the dis
covery OF Antarctica. Actually he found
only two small islands below the Antarc-
tic Circle and arrived at the South
Shetlands just In time to meet the re-
turning whalers with their accounts of
the mountain ranges to the south.

EDUCATION FOR WHAT?"

Tert: 1.-THE fear Of the Lord is the

Tert: "The fear of the Lord is the
beginning o. iotsdom" (Prouerbs,
ir.f0).
ALI over the land at this time of the
year thousands of young people are
being graduated from schools and uni
versities and sent out upon the mission
of life. Some Of them have definite
idea as to what their objective is, and
set their faces resolutely to its accom-
plishment. Another group looking out
upon the field of human endeavor re-
gard success as governed largely by the
element of chance or good fortune. A
still larger group enter upon the large
field Of human service without design
or purpose. They see no relation be-
tween what they have. gained In school
and classroom and the ever-broadenine
field Of human service. The relation
of the three Rs" as we were taught
to respect them, to the workroom, the
bench and the counting room Is not
altogether clear to the uniformed minds
OF those who are desultory and I'M
certain about their place in the scheme
Of things. -.
That we have attained higher level
in the matter of education Is quite
obvious. Our age Is proud Of its
broadening culture. and properly so.
The number Of men and women enter
ing our colleges and universities grows
with each new year. That we are
fitting these students more effectively
for q large and efficient service. and
that they come to their occupations
better equipped than those Of another
period, is an open question. We have
been told that the little red school
house, where methods Of education
were simple and environing conditions
humble, has produced some Of the fore
most men and women of the republic.
After all. more important than methods
and equipment, curriculum and teach
ers, is the determinaSi ion and application
of the student. Eduation can do little
more than draw out. as the term i'm
plies. It was said of Lincoln that he
had but nine months of school training
and yet through persistent endeavors
he rose to such distinction and great
ness that his name is honored wherever
men measure greatness in terms Of at
tainment. This Is by no means an
isolated case.
There are men occupying high places
in the land today In every sphere OF
service who have come to their place
of distinction in spite Of early linita-
tons. It is worthy of observation that
these men witness not only to high
