FOR BENEFIT OF FARMERS October at Panama Exposition Will Interest Tillers of Soil The most vitally important month is yet to come at the great exposi tion at San Francisco. This may setm a broad declaration In face of me many important conventions that have taken place there, am! of the number of noted diplomats ana stalos- nen who have brought vievs to the visiting world at this greatest o' International expositions. But is agriculture that makes a coun'rv Without it, a nation is ml. The boundless resources of the Unite 1 Slates of America are what made her today supreme in the fi nancial realm. Her climate, uor soil, her water-ways, her railroads have ade her a land of plenty a.i abund ance.

October, therefore, which is to be month at the exposition will stand above all the other mcnths as a period which will live in the commercial annals cf the for agriculturists and stockmen of all nations will meet to view the product of efficient husbandry and to discuss the ways and means by wh- ibo efficiency was achieved. Not only will there be convfntion of the various branches of I raising and dairy farming, but also there will be live stock exhibhs, horse shows, cattle paradei and nu merous other events of Importance to America as an agricult nucleus. Also the Palace of Asrricultur which is replete with all things of interest and education to the farm er will augment Its already splendid and comprehensive collection of exhibits with special features, which have materialized since the opening of the exposition. Here the student of agriculture, the far ner. the fruit grower or stock grower who wishes to acquire new ideas which will assist him towards the perfictlon that is the aim of all efhcicuit citizens these days will find an unparalleled opportunity awaiting him in this palace.

Covering an of 17,000 square feet in the seven acre bnild- Ing, the United States Department of Agriculture has its educational ex- bhibit from eight of its principal bu- Models, relief maps and col Ijred photographs from the Diircaus Animal Industry, Plant Industry, Ueather, Chemistry and Food Products constitute a full univerrdty utilitarian course and farming, ider a plant adopted by the exposition each convention sends experts to make a preliminary survey and publishes a tabulated list of falling within the line of activity so that delegates upon their arrival may go straight to the particular exhibits which he wishes to study, thus conserving time and energy. Also in vt; states and foreign buildings, the Palace of Agriculture, the-e fine displays of the products of countries from every of me world with a competent man in charge to explain methods. With the corn harvest, the wheat in the granaries and the hay In the barns, the herds out at pasture, at the slaughter house or at the dairy, the farmers, agriculturists and cattlemen have earned their leisure and are now on their way to the exposition where the largest and most com prehensive gathering for mutual benefit of these men of the soil ever held In the history of agrarian pursuits will take place. Beginning with September 30, the opening of the horse show, fifty-five big agricultural and live stock conventions will be held under the exposition auspices lasting through October and the greater part of November. These will be held in connection with the live stock exhibits and shows.

Here the live stock breeder and the farmer will learn the new discoveries that scientists have made concerning the breeding and raising of fine cattle, 'horses, swine and sheep. The view here will give a splendid opportunity to study economic aspects of live stock industry. In one pen will be seen highly bred steers, only a year old, which weigh between 1100 and 1200 pounds. In the next pen will be scrub steers which at the same age are lings. The cost of feeding the two breeds is the same.

Such contrasts as these are bound to make every live stockman do a bit of thinking which will rebound to a betterment of the industry throughout the world. Many problems of Importance will be discussed at the various conventions. The principal ones which will convene In October are: American Shire Horse Association, October California Conference of and Agricultural Clubs, October 16; Western Forestry and Conservation Association, October 19-20; California State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, October 19-22; Ayshire Association, October 20; American Short Horn soiation, October 22; American Aberdeen Angus Association, October 25; Red Polled Cattle Club of America, October 26; Caiiiornia Creamery Association, October 28-29, and the American Forestry Association, Thirty-one agricultural and live stock conventions will meet during October with the big horse and cattle, sheep, swine, dog and cat shows will be held.

The competitions will be judged by 130 leading breeders and live stock experts of America. Daniel 0. Lively, chief of the live stock department, predicts an attend ance at these competitions that will average 100,000 daily, the exposition live stock show, being in his opinion, the finest and most complete that has ever been held anywHt're. It is also opportune to stock raisers that the governor of California, the first week of September, lifted the em bargo on all cattle and stock from some of the middle Western states where the foot and mouth disease had existed but had been stamped out. This means that several of the largest stock ranches in the world, with international requtations for fine stock will be able to send representative animals for the With all this opportunity for ad vancement and education in the subtleties of his business, for it is the subtleties that count most in any walk of life, every farmer in the country should avail himself of the advantage and make up his mind to visit the exposition during the month of October and if possible, extend his visit into November.
