Farmers Who Raise Only Show Stock
Questions relative to the method
of procedure carried on in agricul

a talk delivered by Prof. . J.
Gramlich, chairman of the depart
ment of animal husbandry, before
a meeting of the American Society
of Animal Production, held in Chi
cago last week. Professor Gram

f Exemplification of the stabUfly
of domestic animal production and
manufacture was shown, declared
Professor Gramlich, by the com
parative rigidity with which values
of livestock and livestock products

icky developments on Wall street.
R "Over-enthusiastic citizens who
' became dissatisfied with the slow
ness of agriculture and other basic
lines of industry and took fliers in
high finance are experiencing se
vere headaches," he stated. "The
people whom we represent are
proving, in this case, to be not un
like Noah, who has possessed the
reputation of being the greatest
livestock man of all ages because
e retained his herds and flocks
fwhen all was in liquidation."
Industry Improved.
He pointed out that the domestic

Political and Social
Conditions.
WOMEN DISCARD VEILS
Rsvlat .nil nnlltlral chanrea In
Tiirb-ev lmAfr the nresent red me
were described to the audience at
the agricultural college World
Pnnim dinner In the home econom
ics building Thursday, by All Nou-
man, a resident or mat country.
Mr. Nouman la In Nebraska at
the present time as a representa
tive nt tha Turkish crovernment.
He is studying agricultural meth
ods of this country, particularly of
dry farming.
The biggest social change. Mr.
Nouman said, is in the Turk's at
titude toward women. "Turkish
women have entirely discarded
their veils." he said. "They wear
short skirts and rouge their
cheeks, Just as their American
sisters do.
Women Equal.
Tt wu nnlv a few vears sjro
that a Turk would not eat in the
same cafe with a woman, but now
that. too. has been chanted. A man
can take his wife out for dinner,
and no one even so mucti as no
tices it"
Mr. Nouman also described Tur
key and its new Independence,
which 18 greater tsan me country
has ever knew before. "The 'sick
man of Europe' is now out of
Europe and well," he said. Turkey
has at last found herself."
He nald tribute to the new Turk
ish government and its effort to
eradicate illiteracy. He declared
that the adoption of the Latin al
phabet in place of the old Arabic
characters was doing much to sim
nUfv the nroress of education. He
called the problem of reducing
Turkey's percentage of illiteracy,
now at fifty, one of the greatest
the government is lacing.

Gramlich, whether student live
stock Judging contests have also
been reorganized to meet the
changing conditions surroundhlg
them.
His feeling is that they have not
kept up to date in their methods.
"As it Is now," he emphasized,
"students are highly trained in ora
tory, as that is one of the essen
tials to winning a contest. A num
ber of years ago the Nebraska
squad did some practice Judging at
Wisconsin. The late Frank Kleln
helnz listened to several of the fel
lows, give effervescent sets of rea
sons on a class cf sheep which
they had placed incorrectly. He
then told them that they talked
like a bunch of Philadelphia law
yers but that they were mighty
poor sheep Judges.
Look to Future.
"Have we," Gramlich questions
further, "given enough thought to
the future of our students? Are
we agreed among ourselves as to
the type of course which should be
offered to the young men who en
roll with us? If our graduates are
to go largely into industry, are we
giving them sufficient training in
business and other allied lines? On
the other hand, if our young men
must of necessity look to the farm
and ranch for their future, are the
courses which we are offering pre
paring them to best handle pro
duction and marketing problems?"
