The railroads are the principal buyers of fat stock at the eastern winter ;hows, for no other purpose than to promote the industry to the greatest benefit of the producer; recognizing mat live stock is essential to successful agriculture. Our chance of making the best farmers lies in the educational work that the young folks are doing under our agricultural vocational organizations and through the various state universities, with federal cooperation. Through these agencies thousands of young men and women are seeking knowledge as to ways and means of preparing themselves to make a I better beginning with a good chance of a better ending, of the job at ' farming. The railroads of the west are, likened to their eastern brethren, awakening to the fact that this work is Immensely valuable in our whole 1 agricultural structure, and free trans- / portation is being furnished by roost 1 I I ~~tto~itus. !~bcloreKho~iso~furtheho~ ~ther~roa~fur s~ck 1 ----------------------------------------------~ We wonder if we ought to elect new Jays. judging: ~ean:s, ~o asomto li~ f!lcilitate traffic Officers again!

TM value of this far-sighted policy was pretty well demonstrated at the close of the war, when those who depended on the single crop (largely wheat) found themselves strapped, while other sections that had made live stock an important part of the farm setup, fared much better financially. I can think of nothing more stiroulating nor encouraging to the juniors ln their school work than . to know that they have the backing of our great railroad systems. The livestock judging teams enter into an elimination contest starting at zero and progressing by degrees and by a lot of hard earnest work, to attain the highest honors, by outclassing all others. The high honors are awarded at the Chicago International Livestock show operating under the Smith-Lever act American Royal Livestock 1 Show at Kansas City to the boys and girls from schools operating under the Smith-Lever act throuO'h the state boa1ds of education the "'federal government participating' in both instances.
