CARRYING CUIUS TO NEWCASTLE In a recent issue of The Saturday Evening Post Swift & Company have taken a page of higly expensive spare to tell the people of the United States that they realize only a small fraction ot a cent per pound on their dressed meats. This may be true. Ot that feature we make no comment. But we do take serious exception to the artist's engraving at the head of the advertising showing numerous trains radiating from the "ten Mississippi valley states" that raise and feed so much of the country's supply ot beef, and the "even smaller area known as the corn belt where the herds ot qual ity are fattened." These trains reaih from this favored area Into the 38 other States which presumably have no fat beet of their own and which depend entirely upon these ten States and Swift tor their tresh meat. We cannot help but wonder what would happen if the train that is headed for central Oregon and which appears to have stopped with the first car in the train in Prineville, would get a hot box or run into the ditch or nieA with any similar accident that would delay it for a day or several days. In such event what would this sec tion do for fresh beef? It is possible that some of the many feeders around Prineville might sell a few of the fat tening herds that run in numbers from three to twelve hundred which are constantly being turned off fin ished into the highest type of fat beet. They might sell us enough to last un til the Swift special arrives with our teaks and roasts. Seriously it seems strange that an organization as large and in many ways efficient as Swift & Co. should try to put such propaganda across. There is an absolute thoughtless ness evident in their advertisement which might be taken for ignorance If one did not consider their business la fresh and cured meats and they, if anyone should know the location of the meat supply of the country. We would advise that the company instruct their artist to put a few cows V.U.IK OK FAIR EXHIBITS The time is here to begin prepara tion for your exhibits at the fair. If there la anything iu the agricultural or livwtock line that you have that shows promise, begin now to shape it up for the fair this fall. Much can be accomplished both in animal and veg etable lines by some careful attention from now until the time for exhibit ing the product. Grains and grasses should be selected and prepared as fast as they reach their highest state of excellence. Animals should be carefully groomed and their rations looked to in order to have them come to the bench and ring at their best. Many a potential prize winner is given a poor rating which should have had a first or second aud would have had this rating It proper care had been given It early in the season, j Look over your place and it you have anything that shows superior features begin to shape it up. There are never too many contestants in any line and do not wait until you come to the fair and then aa you walk past the different exhibits, remark to your wife or your neighbor, "We have been eating better tomatoes than those are." Or "that calf of yours has anything here beaten a mile" Bring your stuff to the fair. It vou don't win first prize you will learn why the animal or vegotahlo vou are showing is not first class. You will learn what the highest grade means and learn what to strive for In the future. And on tha other hand It 70a win you will bav) a lot of personal satisfaction, a lot ot good advertising for your ability as a grow er and for your farm, and also you will be helping your neighbors by tho same method you are helped. These friendly rivalries In the show ring are stimulating in the ex treme. They add a touch of sport to a sometimes hum drum life. They bring each one in closer relation with bis neighbor and create a greater in terest In what he is doing and how he is progressing. We cannot live by ourselves and by our own efforts alone. The greater our advancement in population and in the higher pro duetivenes of our farms, the more we must depend upon one another for aid in growing, marketing and per fecting our products. By taking a particularly fine speci men" of livestock to the fair yon may make a sale or establish a reputation that will mean many dolars of In creased value in your line in the year to come. You may have an animal with just the characteristics that an other man is seeking to perfect his herd or Cock. There U no question that there is as good livestock indi viduals in this section as in any oth-! er. but many of them are never seen oft their home place. Then there is the feature of inter esting the boys and girls. It seems to be nature for the young people to love a contest The boys are always interested in contesting for a prize will often spend much time and effort In the preparation of exhibits that they may beat the other fellow at his own game. They will often be spur red to greater efforts next year and a keen interest developed where be ! fore there was but a passing thought. The boy may develop particular tal- Jent for some particular line by these j efforts. Many are the good results: attendant upon the exhibit of the: best things you grow or make and , even the losers nre winners.
