PROGRESS IN EMPHAS1Z The National Dairy Show is the j marker that is set up every year to I adicate to the country the progress that has been made by the dairy iniLustry and by other industries that *re based upon it. But .it does even more than that?it points the way to future developments, and in this the United States Department of Agriculture is taking an important part. At the show held in St. Paul, ftlinn. from October 8 to 15, visitors had the best opportunity ever afforded to get & comprehensive view of the needs and possibilities of the industry and of the improvements and advantages chat have been made available thru painstaking investigations. This year in illustrations, both graphic and photographic, these slogans were emphasized in the Government exhibits; \ Better cattle and how to obtain them, better products and how to produce them, better markets and how to reach them. Life-Size Model* of Cow*. In a manner of speaking, the cow and the farm always hold the center of the stage at the National Dairy Show, but at this one they were actually on the stage in lifelike models. Instead of depending upon charts and statistics, the salient points were brought home to the observer by sX&ge settings representing actual farm scenes and cattle, of the kind that usually go with the surroundibgs, shown grazing in the painted fields. One farm ' oreathed comfort and prosperity, and in its lush pastures grazed cattle that showed the effect of years of careful breeding. The otfcer was the kind of farm that in the old days would have been known as Parmer Slack's place. In its pastures were nondescript cows?the kind that too many farmers still keep but that do very little toward keeping the farmer and his family. The reason for these two stage farms, set side by side, was evident ?the striking contrast of abundance and poverty emphasized the difference in what may be expected from good and poor cows, from poor sires , and sires bred from a long line of high-yielding ancestors. Poor animals soon paint the whole farm in drab colors, while good ones keep up the fences and brighten the buildings. The improvement is even more noi > VI- _ iL. 1 t. uceauie 111 uue uaun nuuum. But this series of stage scenes that the Department of Agriculture puts on goes farther than merely to show beautiful pictures of success and somber paintings of failure. It showed pictorially how a farm community may organize to obtain improvement at the lowest cost and in the shortest practicable time. One stage showed how the farmers in -a community grouped their farms into blocks and organized a bull association that resulted in a marvelous development in the herds?shown in the records which were posted at the side of the stage. On another stage was a showring in which were 6 pure-bred bulls, ar.d another ring in which there were 19 scrubs. These models were exact reproductions in miniature of real animals, the purebreds representing the bulls owned by the first cooperative Ayrshire Bull Association of America, which took the place of the 19 scrubs depicted. But this was only a small part of the story of milk production and marketing that was unfolded by the artist's brush and actual demonstrations. Some of the questions answered were these: What feed is needed to make 100 pounds of milk? How can undernourishment in children be elim' inated? How are bacterial counts of . milk made? What is the "Better Sires?Better Stock" campaign and how can a farmer avail himself of its advantages? What do certain germs look like? What various th'ngs and how much of each can be ipadg from 100 pounds of milk? Is dairying more profitable than formerly? Market End is Most Important. Each year more and more farmers are realizing that no matter how they improve the methods of production hey are still far from the head of 'ie procession if they do not give a rTeat deal of attention to the matter of markets. And it is no longer difficult for a dairyman to obta;n the best market information, for the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates of the Department of Agriculture is always at his service. What uils bureau can do for him was DAIRYING ED AT SHOW ATLANTJANS NOW RIDE ON NEW STREET CARS Atlanta Oct. 20.?Announcement was made here yesterday by local street railway that- the Atlanta ser vice has been improved by twentyseven new cars ' this year, costing irom $14,000 to $21,000.

Temperatuers were well below normal during the early part of the week, and light frosts extended as far south as the central counties on the 14th. Some damage to vegetables in exposed places in northern districts was reported. Cotton picking ia practically finished, except in northwestern districts, where the hate cTop is exceeding expectations. The com harvest is well under r.-ay, with generally poor yields from the late crop. Preparation of the soil for solving wheat and oats has been much retarded, by drought, and in some portions of the central counties plowing has been practically suspended. The condition of sweet potatoes is fair to good in northern sections, but very poor elsewhere, because of continued dry weather. Cabbage and lettuce are being set out in the trucking districts along the coast. , Irony or Sarcasm. The seedy looking individual's shirt was far from spotless and his coat and vest were covered with grime and grease, but in his buttonhole he sported a red, red rose. "Where do you suppose I got this?" he asked an acquaintance. "I don't know," admitted the other. "Maybe it grew there."?Piper Progress. forcefully brought out at the dairy show bv striking illustrations and bv men who are able to answer the various questions that the problems of selling bring up. One of the str'king illustrations of the exhibit showed an enormous balance that extends across the Atlantic from America to Europe. It showed how vital to the American producer are world supplies of dairy commodities and the leveling influence of easy transportation and the dissemination of market news. Charts showing how this leveling has actually occurred in the case of butter accompanied the central illustration. Another panel in the series showed streams of milk flowing into a big pool which is the world's exportable surplus. Statistics of the world milk trade were shown in connection.

I f NO SOLUTION, SAY UNION M?N Cleveland, Oct. 20.?Railroad Brotherhood chiefs expressed doubt today as to the feasibility of the plan proposed by the public group of the Railroad Labor Board to have freight rates reduced as a means of averting the railroad strike. Wiarren S. Stone, President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said: "The suggestion cannot be work ed out. Byt the time the reduction got to the consumer, It would not amount to one-half of 1 per cent. The middleman would absorb all of the difference. W. G. Lee, President of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, would make no direct statement on the matter. "Our misunderstanding, and I believe that of the public also, was that the 12 per cent wage reduction of last July would 'be passed on to the public," he said. Commenting further on the general proposition of passing wage reductions on to the consumer in reduced prices, Mr. Lee asserted that an example of .this was to be found in the steel industry. 'The United States Steel Corporation has already made four reductions in wages, yet steel rails are still selling at $47 per toti," he said. W. S.
