The special meeting of the Dakota
Fine Stock Breeders Association at
Madison on the 29th and 3Oth was one
of their most profitable meetings.
When the meeting was called to order
by president 7. David about thirty
answered to roll call. The association
went into executive session and
number of prominent breeders were
elected members of the association.
President David made a report of his
trip through north Dakota, Montana
and Idaho. He found a growing inter-
est in fine stock breeding. He said the
Bonanza wheat farmers of the north
are rapidly becoming convinced of the
Importance of turning their attention
to cattle, sheep and horses as their only
salvation. The farmers Of the north
are anxious to secure acclimated ami
mails and Mr.. David urged upon the
association the Importance of their
being ready TO supply the demand of
their northern neighbors. He also
made special point that the Dakota
Fine Stock Breeders Association see to
it, that nothing but pure bred animals
be sold as such. He found cases where
new and inexperienced breeders had
been imposed upon in that they had
purchased mongrels for pure bred
animals. On the basis of
this report the association
decided to make a public sale OF pure
bred ANIMALS this fall, the time and
place yet to be fixed. All members Of
the association having pure bred
stock for sale are invited to report the
, same to Mr.. d. T. Newton, Bridge
water. Much interest was shown in
making good showing at the fairs
this fall, and if the railway companies
J will allow the circuit to be made
: on the same terms as are made for
the Mitchell fair, a number of herds
and tlocks will make the entire circuit
3 Managers of Mitchell, Huron, Aber-
deem and Grand Forks fairs should
see to it that satisfactory arrange.
