Is 3 Per Cent of Total Number on Farms, Says Census Report ' Beef Breeds Lead. Washington, D. C, Oct.23. The department cf commerce thru the bureau of census announces the fol lowing figures from the 1920 cen sus of agriculture for the United States. The 1,981,514 pure bred cattle in the United States on January 1, 1920, according to the fourteenth census, included 1.064,912 cattle of beef breeds and 916,602 cattle of dairy breeds. The pure bred beef cattle were distributed among the several breeds as follows: Aberdeen Angus, 108, 524; Devon. 1,194! Galloway, 6, 920; Hereford, 405.5S0; Polled Dur ham, 61,755: Shorthorn, 416,995; all other beef breeds, including ani mals reported as pure bred with breed not specified, 63,944. 916,602 Dairy Cattle The 916,602 pure bred dairy cat tle were distributed according to breed as follows: Ayshire, 30,494; Brown Swiss, S.130; Guernsey, 79, 445; Holstein-Friesian, 528,621; Jersey, 231.834; and all other dairy breeds, including animals with breed not specified, 38,078. Among the teef breeds the most important were the Shorthorns and the Herefords. Of the 416,995 pure bred Shorthorns reportted, 69,560 were in Iowa, 39,093 in Illinois, 32, 777 in Nebraska, 32.419 in Minne sota and 10.517 in Missouri. Of the 405, 5S0 Herefords deport ed, 70,021 were in Texas, 40,894 in Iowa, 38,695 in Kansas, 32,609 in Missouri, and 27,418 in Nebraska.. Of the 528 521 Holstein-Friesians reported, 114,662 were in New York, 80.845 in Wisconsin. 48.652 in Pen., 38,327 in Ohio. 32,702 in Michigan, 25,124 in Illinois and 22.S30 in Min nesota. Jerseys In Ohio Of the 231,823 Jerseys reported, 23,824 were in Ohio. 1S.718 in Tex as, 13,411 in New York, 11,036 in Pennsylvania and 10,708 in Miss ouri. This breed is more widely dis tributed perhaps than any ' of the other breed. In many of the south ern states, in particular, the num ber of Jerseys exceeds the number reported for any other one breed of cattle. The reports of previous censuses did not show the numbers of pure bre"d live stock, so it is impossible to make comparisons with earlier years. It is interesting to note, how ever, that the whole number of pure bred cattle reported for 1920 (1, 981,514) constituted 3 per cent of the 66,652.559 cattle on farms in the United States on' the census date. The total number of pure bred cattle on Nebraska farms is 82,047. The total number of beef breeds i3 74.174, by far the vast majority of the state, and includes 4,640 Aber deen Angus, 411 Galloway, 2,4 18 Herefords, 3,420 polled Durham, 32. 777 Shorthorns and 5,508 other cat tle, reported as pure bred with breed not specified. There are 7,873 cattle of the dairy breeds in the state, including 74 Ayrshires, 38 Brown Swiss, 348 , Guernsey. 5,368 Holstein-Friesian, 1,275 Jersey and 770 of other breeds,' reported as pure bred with breed not specified.

Washington, Oct. 29. Two les sons of the world war, learned at heavy cost, are sharply emphasized in a war department bulletin son to Le issued giving the first official picture of the new national defense structure projected in the reorganized army of the United States. One lesson comes direct from the batlefields of France. It is that efficient staff work is vital to modern military operations, and with it goes the correlary that staff night. The other comes from the war time din and confusion of the cen tralized training camps at home. It is that efficient mobilization of the na tion's fighting strength can be car ried out only as a decentralized pro cess thru agencies set up in times of peace. Realization that these lessons must be worked Into the new mili tary policy if perilous delay and cost ly confusion which preceded past mo bilizations were to be avoided has marked the effort of the war depart ment. The bulletin shows that it has attempted to write regulations under the revised national defense act that would furnish a clean cut scheme for war mobilization without violating national traditions against militarism or creating machinery that would impose heavy burdens in peace times upon the tax-payers. Far Reaching Military Effort The project undertaken probably is the most far reaching military ef fort the nation has ever attempted in peace times. The foundation work has been ione. All over the country decentral ized machinery is being set up cap able, its designers believe, of getting he nation on a war footing with little delay and confusion. Yet it is felt that the nation at large and even the most important links in the new defense chain, the regular army, the national guard and the officers reserve corps do not appreciate ful ly what is being done. Col. John McA. Palmer, the officer asigned to aid congress in framing the legislation making it all possible and who has devoted himself to a study of the subject, was called upon to furnish the document and his work is to go to all parts of the new army as a means of preventing misunderstanding. Colonel Palmer points out that at the conclusion of previous wars, the United States scrapped all it had learned in battle and demobilized without any attempt to carry costly lessons on to younger generations for their protection and aid in time of war. Veterans of the civil war, schooled in soldier craft, skilled in staff work and the handlling of mighty forces with minimum con fnsion in movement and minimum losses in battle, went back to civil life, he says, and lost all touch with military matters. When the war with Spain came, their knowledge was lost to the men of 1898. It was necessary to rebuild again from the ground up, and 1917 saw this waste repeated,, the bulletin asserts. Welding Three Organizations. The purpose of the new scheme of welding the regulars, the national guard and the organized reserves in to the army of the United States in peace times is defined by Colonel Palmer as follows: "It is primarily the object of our new law to perpetuate the frame work of the organization developed in the world war so that its tremen dous cost can be funded as a perman ent Investment for all time." Had such a system as is now well advanced tward establishment been erected after the civil war, the offic er adds, "in 1898 more divisions than were needed for the war with Spain could have begun their expansion within twenty-four hours after the declartion of hostilities." "Mobilization in 1917," Colonel Palmer continues, "would have pro ceeded as a decentralized progress upsetting the economic life of the nation. It would not have been ne cessary to spend millions for great concentrated training camps or to overbuden the railroads with un classified personnel and material in order to organize, and train, and equip, and provide officers all at the same time. Such a national organi zation must have saved months in time and millions in money." Colonel Palmer points out that Stonewall Jackson one of . leaders on either side in the civil war enter ed the contest with knowledge of what staff work meant. He had studied Napoleons troop orders and in the first battle of the war, Colonel Palmer says, "showed that even raw troops can stand like a stone wall if the prevalent rawness does not ex tend to the craftsmanship of the commander."
