Tho pttHiiy, In full, Ih printed
herewith:
"Ah wo look back over tho dnyH
In which our forefHthci lived. In
Texas, Iowa,, und Missouri, where
the cuttle roamed hy thousands In
many herd and hrnnd. wo think
whera did they ship their meat and j
how long It took them to reach the
butcher Hhop. After they drove
the euttle through many (tangent
they flnully arrived at n small ono

If, they ml (flit sell the few head of
rattle out In front. (A picture of an

ha easily ossjhlc to produce ut
' great -deal more meat, product
than they needed for their own
consumption. Klnnlly t a packing

means of the Ohio river,, canals
and seldomly by railways, which
were very scarce nt that time.
"An the people kept 'migrating
Westward It looked as If Cincinnati
would become tle largest packing
center, hut )o! about this time a
great Increase of railways in Chica
go caused thtf development of a
packing plant, nnd since 1801,
Chicago has been tho greatest
packing conter of the world.
"In the day of our grandfather
wo find that they most deliberately
smoked and salted down their
meat. Much meat, however, was
wasted by this method. About this

packing Industry was Increasing'
so William Duvis of Detroit pat
ented or Invented tho first refrl
gerator Car. - Now let us compare
It with ours of tortiiv. i
It was not inuch more than an
ice box on wheels, while today wc,
havo up-to-dale refrigerator cars.
HO gradually ihe business of meat
packing ceased to "ho confined to
the cold winter months. I
"The packers had a greai fight
on their hands beiore the western
tieef men Induced tho Kastern meat
i packers that their meat was as de-
and w
llut foremfist, refrigeration has
inndo It possible that every meal
consuming center Is favored with
mont every day of the year.
"As time passed the packers be
came dissatisfied with having to
rely on nature for their supply of
lee. They were not satisfied with
. their refrigerator cars, so nil the
Ingenuity and brains
of science
were directed toward Improving
refrigeration, unit) tniiny the pack
ers aro ublo to have their own
freezing plants.
"Wo marvel nt refaigeratlon ns
It has made It possible for fresh
meat to be provided Tor any nntlon
of the world at nay season of
tho year. . Uofrlgeratlon has
opened the markets of the world
to tho hog raiser of Iowa, to
the great cuttleman of Texas and
lo the sheep man In Monlumi, Who
is responsible for the prospm-lty of
thfllWcst? Armours refrigeration
is (he nnswor.
'jTho packing house or rather
mein packing Is one of the most
Important features of the nnat in

the shoes you wear are made from
leather which comes from the hides
or cattle? The clothes that you
wear ure mnde from wiol, a part
of which comes from sheep which
aro sTauRhlered In the packing
house. Tho desks at which you
sit la held together in some pans
with glue which is mudo from
bones und hoofs of meat nnhnnl,

house by-products.
'No we see that life Is timde
much more pleasant by packing
hou.Ht by-prnducts.
"What would meat be worth If
there was no packing house'. i'er
. haps you can answer that tor your
self. In fact, there are many au
thorities who concede that the
packing Industry with its allied In
dustry of live stock, is the greatest
industry In tho world one which
tins dope and will continue to do
much for the benerit and Improve
ment of mankind, I

Weather conditions In this sec
tion have been very unfavorable
for growing crops during (tie past
two weeks. The, ground Is becom
ing very dry, and u cold northwest
wind which has been blowing much
of the Mine lately. Is causing , the
remaining moisture " to leave the
ground rapidly. .Much of the spring
needing which has just recently
been finished, is vej-y slow in com
ing up, due to the lack of suffi
cient moisture, Tho most of the
winter wheat crops appear to be
standing Die dry weather in fair
ly good shape. However, thcre.s
home signs of drying up on the
thin land. Weeds are thick in many
of the fields where tho stand was
rather thin from winter filling, and
hi those placet the grain is badly
in need of rnln.
A frost of f varying severity
struck this county during tho past
week; doing considerable damage to
spring grain In some sections of the
county. Jn parts of the county It
Is feared that the. freezing was se-
vere enough to have caused some
damage to fnll wheat crops, which
were quile well along. Much of
the early sowings of wheat Is Just
