' pgr With the cowboy and his lariat ^ rapidly disappearing from the Western plains and the top of aK the steer market hovering around th< the $9 and $10 mark, isn't it do timely that the farmers of this community should recognize the fact that there is money to be reJ made in raising live stock for a ' market? Since the high cost of cei living became such a vital topic jjs for discussion and the price of jn) beef one of the items showing bu the largest per cent increase in na price, the packers have been maintaining- that the law of supply and demand has been the se sole cause. In defense of their ha Ptatements the packers point out th that no longer are the Western plains the grazing grounds for y^ thousands of head of cattle which ^ as soon as fattened are shipped to Chicago. Kansas City or some other packing center. They say that reclamation projects and the cuttine- of the Prarie States into small tracts for farming have driven the cowboy and his lariat out of a job and that the beef of the future must be grown bv the soil tiller and not by the cattle baron who is rapidly passintr away. ()a Whether the packers are ritrht an' or not in dinen^?is of the ? bieb of livine what they say of beef for futovp consumption Fi is t.rne. Even Texas, the once th great hn^ of tbo lone-horned ? Ptenr and tl-o cowboy, is under- '*! goine mich n transformation that B the old-time C"w-nuncbor wou'd B K Q nrl I \r en-ni rr/i it Tlu) cwoll H forrr ic dnincr away with tho gj round-up in the I opp Star State, a and wh it ic trim or Tex?s is also I true of c'.'cr Western cattle- ?

U Agricultural college experts ree- S ognize that the packers are presenting fan's and are urging the farmers of all sections to buy more feeders and pro into the cattle-raising- business on a larger scale. It is said that the average farmer markets not more than one or two steers a year, when he could just as easily feed a dozen or so and make as much money as in any other way of disposing of the crops he raises. What these experts say are mighty good tips to the farmers of this and other communities Raise more live stock and you will make more money. . E Whose Boy Next? ~ r i_ _ _ a ! irie season 01 me year is ai | hand when grim death claims | many of its victims through the [ medium of drowning. The news of the dav is interspersed with accounts of people having lost their live* in water and the hug- r: er per cent, of the victims are those who sought refreshment in a bath. Year after year these j fatalities occur and the number steadily increases. The sad record of one season seemingly car- | ries no lesson to the pleasure ' seekers and a more appalling death record marks the close of each season. It is not to he assumed that the sport of bathing will be in any degree rendu ed Iphq nnnnIu r- Ywr ?V-iu noi^iool s\f the death record, but these sad , statistics should hove some in- ^ fluence w ' parents who 1 ; ve a habit ol per nil tins; their hoys to go into th" water at all tines and places unat,rr>ded.
