R. & N. road has grant ed a rate of a fare and a third over its lines during the Union Stock show, June 13 to IS. The classification book is in the hands of David Couper, who hopes to have it in the hands of exhibitors in good season. Some arrangement for the sale of j stock will be provided this year, cither by private or public sales, the plan to be announced later. Some new. Bheds will probably be added to the collection already on the grounds to accommodate the ircreased allowing of stock which appears cer tain. The Shorthorn men are arranging' for a banner display, and there will be contests that will not be excelled in the northwest. Additions and improvements will be made this year in the grand stand ac commodations, in order to handle the immense crowd that will attend the show. The association has hay engaged for the stock show, and while there will be none to throw away, it is thought there will be enough for the stock exhibits that will be here.

Any goods made by Peet Bros, will speak for themself. breeding stock be made is contained in a letter which Governor Withy combe has sent to President Wilson. "I am well aware of the vital im portance not only of preserving our agricultural resources, but of increas ing our productivity in every possible way," the letter reads, "as the safe guarding and best development of our sources of food .supplies undoubtedly will be an important factor in satis factorily solving the economic prob lem of the war, I have noted, there fore, with keen approval tho action which is being taken toward tho or ganized supervision of the nation's agricultural production ?.nd the con servation of its food supplies. In my opinion it would be extremely advis able to issue an organized appeal to tho farmers of tho country urging them to keep their female breeding stock and to withhold from sale their veal calves and young marketable ani mals. I think that such action, es pecially if it could come in the form of a President'3 proclamation, per haps, would have a markedly bene ficial effect and would f.t least direct the attention of tho nation to a field of common sense conservation which will, if properly acted upon, mean countless millions of dollars saved to the country during the next decade and a wise safeguarding and increas ing of its most productive possibilities.
