WILDLIFE EXHIBIT AT SPORTSMEN'S SHOW IS ENJOYED BY VISITORS

The Department Of Conservation’s exhibit at the an hit a! Indiana Sportsmen’s Show, now in progress at the state fairgrounds, is the center of attraction for thorn sands of early visitors, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner, repofthcl

today.

The exhibit has been thronged with visitors since the show opened Saturday and has had a special attraction for children as well as the older conservationists and sportsmen. The pens of animals and birds and the aquariums of fish have been surrounded almost constantly during the hours that the show has been open: The three white-tailed deer are already f avoid ties with the visitors. Ruffed grouse. Hungarian and Chukar partridge r Bob-White and California Valley quail, and seven species of pheasants—Ring-neck, Golden, Silver, Lady Amherst, Mutant, Reeves and Brown-Eared Manchurian—give the visitors an opportunity to know these birds. Aquariums holding large and small-mouth black bass, silver bass, rock bass, bluegills. crappies, perch, wall-eye and Northern pike will make the angler’s hands itch for his rod and reel and look forward to fishing trips during the coming weeks. Also shown are other fish found in Indiana waters —carp, buffalo, catfish, gar, quillbacks and others familiar to the

fisherman.

Sharing Interest with the fish, birds and animals, are the fifteen large, colored phdtographs of typical scenes in the Indiana state parks and other conservation properties. Among these are familiar scenes at the Riverside state fish hatchery. Spring Mill state park, Brown County state park, JasperPulaski state game preserve, Turkey Run, McCormick’s Creek, Spring Mill and Cliffy Falls state parks. Another series of pictures deals with reforestation and soil

conservation activities.

The Department of Conservation exhibit occupies over seven thousand square feet of §paee and is surrounded by walls of silver

GOLDEN GATE BEEF SHOW WRITES BRILLIANT HISTORY

More than a thousand living | — models, fashioned by leading im-! fact that the commercial operators

pro vers in the States and Canada

to present to the world the latest in Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus form, converged at the Golden Gate for the Beef Cattle Premiero, February 18th. Their battle for the $70,000 treasure was brilliant in color, dramatic in action, replete with human interest. The results, affecting the destinies of tribes and the fortunes of breeders. challenge breed historian talent, and yet the half can never be told. Only the thousands whose rare privilege it was to have a ringside seat while four of the country’s leading adjudicators handed down their momentous decisions can record and retain the

full import of it all.

No exposition directorate ever kept the faith with the livestock industry with more fidelity. No exposition facilities quite so completely met the requirements of exhibitors, so greatly facilitated the work of judges or presented greater advantages to the visitors who came to study the proceedings. The word, “ideal”, expresses the verdict of exhibitors, judges and visitors. Those who share in this commendation are the members of the board of directors headed by President Cutler, the board of governors of the livestock division with J. Sheldon Potter as chairman, E. S. Pillsbury, 11, vice chairman in charge of beef cattle and Ezra J. Fjelsted as chief of the Division of Livestock. It is to Chief Fjelsted that his superiors generously conceded the major credit. Invaluable to the Beef Show was the work of Jennings Pierce of the National Broadcasting Company, not only through the events which were carried throughout the nation over NBC but his wmrk as master of ceremonies in special events and his announcement of awards and introduction of distinguished

year?”

It was also pointed out in the letter that under the Gross Income Tax Act assessors and their deputies failing or neglecting to require an answer under oath to the gross income tax interrogatory are liable for fines up to twenty dollars for each case of such omission or

neglect.

Although the Law states that the new interrogatory must appear on the ‘blanks for the listing of personal property for taxation, beginning with the blanks to be furnished to taxpayers in 1939, and thereafter . . the interrogatory was carried on most of the blanks last year,” Mr. Jackson said. “It proved to be a very effective additional method of locating ‘forgetful’ taxpayers. “Through the splendid cooperation of the assessors and a recent check-up on the gross income tax information on the assessment blanks in the assessors’ offices the Gross Income Tax Division was able to collect thousands of dollars in delinquent gross income tax that otherwise might not have been collected.

Egypt Expects Iron Resources To Set a Record

Cairo.—Egypt’s iron ore deposits contained in an area of about 500 square miles in the Aswan province, may prove to be the richest in the world, according to a report by Saba Habashi Bey, Egyptian minister of commerce and industry. The Egyptians discovered iron mines in this regi&n. They con* cealed the entrance to the workings. and in time sand accumulated to fill up the openings. In 1917 ah Egyptian discovered haematite at As\vaft, and further prospecting proved the existence of huge quantities of iron ore in the district. It is estimated that the deposits exceed 6,©Q0,0(h);0d0 tons, as against Britain’s 1,000,000,000 tons, Germany’s 2,200,000,000, France’s 1.500.000. 000. the Vhited States’ 1,100.000. 000, and Sweden’s ’ 500,000,000. The iron exists at a depth of 2 feet to 7 feet, and its extraction presents no gfeat difficulties. The minister says that establish* ment of a steel industry is possible and desirable from an industrial and military viewpoint. — — — Columbia, Mo.—Dewey .

The Show of Bullocks

The first quadrupeds to leave their comfortable quarters in the ppviijon and cross the threshold si the magnificent California Coliseum, w r ere the steers which took their places on the tanbark under the direction of John C. Burns of Ft. Worth. The entire opening day was devoted to the showing of the bullocks from the three breeds in class, the selection of the breed champions and the grand champion of the show featuring the ceremonies of Sunday afternoon. In that special event, and according to a program staged by the Golden Hoof Club of Davis and the CalAggie band, the livestock facilities were presented to Exposition President Leland W. Cutler by Frank W. Clark of the California Commission, the four beef cattle judges Were installed and duly charged with their responsibilities in a manner unique in stock show procedure. Whereupon the candidates were paraded and Judge Burns began his selection of champions. On the Shorthorn sector the successful individuals in the various weight classes came from Sni-A-Bar Farms, Grain Valley, Mo., 750 to 875 lbs.; Uuiversity of Wyoming, Laramie, 870 to 1,000 lbs.; University of Alberta, Edmonton, 1,000 to 1,150 lbs.; University of Wyoming, 1,150 to 1.350 lbs. From these the Canadian steer, a flashy roan named Spotlight UA w’as designated as the Shorthorn champion. In the Angus division, according to the same weight classification the Oklahoma A. & M. College stood in first position except in the 1,000 to 1,150 lb. class headed by the Iowa State College, Ames. From this group A Page from Oklahoma was drawn from the 875 to 1,000 lb. class as Angus champion. On the Hereford front the University of Wyoming headed both the junior yearling and summer yearling classes: Percy Meredith, Maple Park, HI., stood first in the senior calf class and Clifford Jordan beat out a group of 28 junior steers With Texas Superior from Art, Texas, designated as the Hereford champion. Weighing the virtues of these three contest* ants in the balance of his well organized mind Judge Burns arrived at the decision that the Hereford represented the nearest approach to perfection in conformation and finish. In this dramatic atmosphere a new grand champion bullock was crowned, and an eager audience closed in for the thrill of feeling the coats and coverings of these magnificent specimens 6f the

art of beef making. Hereford Bull Classes

On Monday morning the opening Mil classes of the three heel breeds entered the arena and the judges began their labors. Alex. McDonald of the University ot California admittedly assumed the most exacting responsibility be pause of the extraordinary hum hers in the Whiteface division. At the same time Shorthorn judge Dean H. H. Kildee of the Iowa State College and Dean W. L. Bliz zar-d of the Oklahoma A. & M. College began the placing of the stfdng^st cdilections __of these breeds ever seen on tb® West Coast. By this, time it was appar* eat that the Golden Gate Beef Show w^as playing host to a large audience composed in a rare degree by men deeply interested in beef production. These men from the range mingling xvith the purebred breeders that supply their needs in sires followed the work of the judges with tremendous interest,’due "in a’ measure to t the

are accustomed to evaluating animals collectively, whereas the arena judging is done on an individual basis. Establishing a precedent in ribbon colors the first, second and third awards were in gold, silver and bronze. The first golden chip to fail in the Whiteface competition was accorded H T Tone, the prevailing champion of the past season for the Turner Ranch of Sulphur, Oklahoma, winning here in a class of 17. Next came the senior yearlings, 23, with first position going to Pueblos Domino 256th, exhibited by E. S. Pillsbury II of Buellton, Calif., reserve champions at the California State Fair, champion at the Los Angeles Comity Fair and second in class at the American Royal in Kansas City. In a class of 26 junior yearlings John Henry Dean, Jr., of Lamesa, Texas, scored with H’s Prince Domino, the bull that topped the Dr. Harris sale at Ft. Worth last fall and on the western circuit w-as the winner in class at Denver and the reserve -champion at, Ogden. Summer yearlings numbered 29, in which class the winner was Ellison Domino 42d, making his debut in select Hereford society for the Silver Creek Ranch of Ft. Worth. Among 41 senior bull calves the Turner Ranch of Oklahoma scored first with H T Bocaldo Tone 2d, an entry which has been undefeated in class this sea-

son.

The interest among the ringside in the junior calf classes was immense. Entries were so numerous that it was advisable to establish two groups—calved between January 1st and March 31st and since April 1st. The De Berards of Kremmling, Colo., won both these classes. Lorena’s Mixer Domino, son of Lofeiias’s Domino, went to (ho head of the first division for Fred C. DoBerard, 50 competing. Royal Domino 4th, son of WHK Royal Domino 45th, scored among 18 in the second division, for Fay F. lie Berard. When all class leader bulls came together, H T Tone from the Turner Ranch added another championship to his long list ot accomplishments, and Royal Domino 4th, the De Berard calf from the youngest class in the show, repeated his Denver success and went into the reserve .championship. Hereford Female Classes The Hereford female Show opened with 13 two-year-olds, led by WHR Patricia 34th from the Wyoming Hereford Ranch at Cheyene, the heifer that won the grand at the American Royal and the International. There was outstanding quality, too, in the class of 26 senior yearlings. This event was won by Milky Way Farms, Pulaski, Tenn., with Milky Way Domineta 10th, winner in class at Denver and champion at Ogden. Junior yearlings numbered 31. Their leader was Dimple Domino 3d from C. M. Largent & Sons, Merkel, Texas, winner in class at Denver. In the class of 34 summer yearlings, Judge McDonald sent forward a prevailing class winner, Donlette Jordan from Harrisdale Farms, Ft. Worth, Texas. Senior heifer calves number 41 with first going to Silver Creek Farm, Ft. Worth, Texas, third at the American Royal but out of condition at Denver. She presented her claims for recognition in appealing fashion. Unprecedented uniformity in everything that enters into the fashioning of modern Hereford form has been the outsanding feature of the Whiteface show at the Golden Gate. Every class was outstanding, but it seemed that this matter of uniformity reached its zenith in the junior classes, particularly the two groups of junior calves. That feature was the talk of the arena when the bull calves were shown and renewed when the heifer calves appeared. In the group of 36 heifer calves, January 1st to March 31st, C. M. Largent & Sons led with Blue Bonnet Domino 10th, winner in class at Denver. Those calved after April 1st numbered 34, and in the lead went a marvelous little package In the person of WR Velma Domino 3d, calved May 16th last, first at Ogden, for James E. Stead of Reno, Nevada. This little maiden was acquired in the purchase of the Webster herd last fall. When all these marvelous heiP ers lined up for the championship, Judge McDonald preferred Milky Way Dominetta 10th the senior yearling shown by Mrs. Ethel V. Mars of Candy Bar and Thoroughbred fame. The reserve was placed on Miss Silver, the senior calf from Silver Creek Farm. The showing of the Hereford groups resulted in first positions being awarded as follows: Both the Two-and Three-Bull Groups, Turner Ranch, Sulphur, Okla.; Senior Get-of*Sire, C. M. Largent & Sons, Merkel, Texas; Junior Get-of-Sire, Taussig & Sons, ParshalL Colo.; Two-Females, Milky Way Farms, Pulaski, Telim; Pair Yearlings. John Henry Dean, Jr.. Lamesa. Texas; Pair Calves, Fay F. De Berard, Kremmling, Colo.; Tea-Head, Turner ftanch, Sulphur. Okla. Shorthorn Bull Classes An international complexion w-as given the class of two and threeyear old Shorthofn bulls, when Klaymor Royal went first for Deacon & Son, Unionvi.lle, Ontario. Fred W. Hubbell of Des Moines, lowm, scored among the senior yearlings with his junior sire. Brae Lodge Headlight. In the junior

yearlings first position went to W. C. Anderson & Son, West Liberty, Iowa, on their newly acquired herd sire, Cahossie Victor. It will be recalled that the Andersons lost their show herd in a lire enroute from Portland to Kansas City last October and deserve great credit for staging their come-back. The Allen Cattle Company of Colorado Springs, Colo., went forward in the summer yearling class with Divide Gold Prince, (hat won grand honors at Denver and Ogden. Texas entered the picture in the senior calf class, C. M. Caraway & Sons of De Leon winning with Golden Oak Marksman. Allen repeated in the junior calf competition, the largest group of this age and breed ever seen on the West Coast. The winner was Divide Talisman. In the finals Judge Blizzard pinned the senior champion award on the Canadian entry of Deacon & Sop, Kb*-mor Royal, winner in the first class of bulls. For a junior champion and grand he went into the junior yearling class and honored the Andersons of Iowa with their entry, Calrossie Victor. Both these champions were white in color and strikingly similar in conformation. Shorthorn Female Classes The showing of Shorthorn females was replete with quality and significant performance. Mathers Brothers, Mason City, 111., won among the two and three-year-old matrons with Augusta 105th, grand Champion at Denver and Ogden enroute to the Golden Gate. The senior yearlings were led by the grand champion at the recent International, Helfred Princess Royal shown by F. W. Hubbell, Des Moines, Iowa. This class contained in fourth position the heifer Oak wood Lavender 10th, an entry from the Teegardins of Ohio, part of the view herd sent to San Franciscc by the American Polled Shorthorn Society. The Allen Cattle Company led the junior yearlings with Divide Starlight 33d, winner at Toronto. Chicago, Denver and Ogden. Mather Brothers sent Leveldale Rosewood 5th to head the summer yearlings, daughter of Leveldale l Rosewood, a former International grand champion. Indicating that show cows do breed on. F. W. Hubbell went first in the senior calves with Helfred Princess Royal 2d, a full Sister to his entry which won the senior yearling class, the two forming a most unusual prd-duce-of-dam pair, a splendid example of breeding-on ability. Allen had the distinction of winning the junior calf competition in a group replete with bloom and promise. His winner was Divide Golden .Rod 2d. In the chhmpionphip jtinais, Leveldale Rosewood 5th was made the senior champion for Mathers and Helfred Princess Royal was crowned the grand champion Shorfhorn female at the Golden Gate for Ho bell. The showing of the Shorthorn groups resulted in first positions as follows: Three-Bulls, Deacon & Son, Unionville, Out.; Two-Bulls, Allen Cattle Co., Colorado Springs, Colo.; Get-of-Sire, F. W. Hubbell, Des Moines, Iowa; Graded Herds, Hubbell; Pair Yearlings, Allen; Pair Calves, Allen; Pair Females, Hubbe; Bui and Female, Mathers Bros., Mason City, 111.; Produce ot Cow, Hubbell. Angus Bull Classes Among the three-year-old Angus oulls, J. Garrett Tolan, Pleasant Plains, 111., went first with Eileenmere 97th, a class favorite in previous shows. Elliott Brown, the former 4-H celebrity from Rose Hill, Iowa, placed first in the two-year-olds with Envious Blackcap B. 6th, grand champion at Kansas City, Denver and Ogden. Michigan entered the competition with a favorite among the senior yearlings, Evader of Wildwood from Wm. E. Scripps of Lake Orion. Junior yearling competition honored the junior champion at the American Royal and the International, Eileenmere 191st from the Tolan exhibit. Jas. 13. Hollinger, Chapman, Kans., led the summer yearlings with Barmore 3d, his winner of second position at the International. Judge Fullerton led the senior calves with Bar Sunbeam 2d, second at Chicago and the first son of Black Prince of Sunbeam, grand champion at the same show. Fullerton repeated by winning the junior calf class with Elgon Sunbeam, the calf that placed second at Chicago, Second son of the illustrious “Black Prince.” When these class winners came together for the championship, Kildee pinned the junior colors on TolanSs Eileenmere 191st and the senior and grand award on Envious Blackcap B. 6th from Elliott Brown. Angus Breeding Classes Adherence to beef-form virtues upon which the Angus breed is fast gaining ground in America, distinguished the Doddie show at the Golden Gate, exceeding any previous breed display in the West. The bulls were magnificent, but if possible the female classes were more so. Fullerton led off in the three-year-old class with a high rating entry, Pride 51st of Sunbeam. The two-year-olds were headed by the grand champion at Chicago, Denver and Ogden, Estam£re from the Tolan exhibit. EIlidtt Brown again entered the picture, winning the seni6f yearling class with Eriahna B, 4th, that headed her class at Denver. First position among the junjdr yearlings was accorded Edwards Brothers Of Watford, Ont., showing Glenelg Queen Comus, bred by the Canadian Pacific Railways. Tolan again stepped forward in the summer yearlings with Burgess Duchess 2d, a winner at numerous state fairs. Front position among the, senior calves went to Scripps on'

his class winner at the Interna-1 tional, Blackbird Bella 5th. The junior calf award fell to Tolan on | Backberry 73d, junior champion at Ogden and Denver. It is significant that both female championships went to Garrett Tolan of Illinois. His two-year-old Estamere, grand at Chicago, was made the senior and grand champion at the Golden Gate, and the junior calf, Blackberry 73d, was given junior honors to complete her success on the Western circuit. The showing of Angus groups resulted in first positions as follows: Five-Bulls, J. Garrett Tolan, Pleasant Plains, 111.; Three-Bulls, Elliott Brown, Rose Hill, Iowa; Two-Bulls, Tolan; Get-of-Sire, Tolan; Graded Herd, Tolan; Pair Yearlings, Tolan; Pair Calves, Edwards Bros., Watford, Ontario. Final Ceremonies On Friday morning, February 24th, the Coliseum arena was literally bulging with superlative Hereford form, for the showing of the 10-Head Groups was on, bringing 300 head into one impressive display. After more than an hour of anxious awaiting the announcement was made that first place went to the Turner Ranch of Sulphur, Oklahoma; second to C. M. Largent & Son, Merkel, Texas; third to O. E. Taussig & Son, Parahall, Colo.; fourth to Fred C. De Berard, Kremmling, Colo., and fifth to Harrisdale Farms, Ft. Worth, Texas. The 30 groups were placed forming one of the greatest responsibilities ever imposed upon a judge in the history of beef cattle showing. Judge McDonald performed in a masterful manner. The Parade of Champions formed a special event to crown the winners and honor their breeders. President Leland W, Cutler of, the Exposition presented the Hereford statuettes; J. C. Youngberg, chairman of the Special Events committee, the Shorthorn; J. Sheldon Potter, chairman of the board of governors of the livestock division, the Angus. A World’s Fair band furnished music at intervals, and Jennings Pierce of the National Broadcasting Company acted as master of ceremonies.

Deficit Is Set At 50 Million Plus In Canada Ottawa, Ont.—A national deficit exceeding $50,000,000 Is expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, it is reported in financial circles. Some sources suggest the deficit may even approach the $100,000,000 mark. The last budget provided for a deficit of $25,000,000 but since then the railway situation has developed unfavorably and treasury department losses from the wheat guarantees will run into sizeable figures. The exact amount it Will have cost the government to pay the western farmer a guaranteed price of 80 cents a bushel will not he known until the crop year offleialy ends Aug. 1. More than 300,000,000 bushels were harvested, however, while the market price for wheat has not risen much above 60 cents per bushel. While the retrospect of the last year will not be the brightest, revenues were maintained very Well. With ah election believed pending for next fall, it is expected that the financial situation will b£ drawn in as favorable a light as possible by the government and as darkly as possible by the opposition forces.

SUBWAY COSTLY BUT OF NO USE

Cincinnati, O.—One of the major problems confronting the city government today is how to use Cincinnati’s $6,100,000 subway which costs $1,000 daily in interest and sinking fund charges on the municipal bonds floated in 1916 to finance the huge project. The subway, started with the intention of providing an underground passageway for the rapid transit of inter-urban trains into the city proper, now stands idle with neither tracks nor trains. It was completed in 1927 but by that time the days of the inter-urban trains were over. Most feasible of the countless plans for using the subway is to convert it into a thoroughfare for surface cars and thus relieve congestion in the downtown district where the lines terminate. Rroponents of this plan say there would be more space for automobiles and buses when street cars are removed from the surface. Committee Begins Study A permanent citizens’ organization called the Metropolitan Transportation and Subway Committee has been formed to study possible uses of the “hole-in-the-ground.” Among the members is Laurent Lowenberg, prominent Cincinnati engineer who made a survey of the problem for the city with WPA funds pearly three years ago. He is a staunch supporter of the plan to use the subway for street car traf-

fic.

Lowenberg believes the subway, which starts in the city proper and half-loops the outskirts, should be extended so that it forms a full Circuit, with the addition of an auxiliary loop around the busy downtown districts. Costly Plan Opposed However, the plan calls for the additional expenditure of $6,000,000 which probably would tint authorized. Furthermore, under the plan the subway necessarily would have to be turned over to the street car company and the company is unable to pay the city for its usage.
