c-ssfully treated by united action on
! the part of those interested.
Mainly through the efforts OF this
organization we now have an efficient
| live stock sanitary commission which
deserves and should have the support
and cooperation OF "a strong state
organization.
This association is not antagOnistical
10 or in competition with any OtheI
organization. Each has it's separate
field, there IL plenty OF room and work
for all OF them. We propose to work
i'm harmony with the Cattle Raisers'
association OF Texas, which has it's sep
arate and distinct field and does not in
the least conflict or interfere with our
work. We want the memb rs of every
other livestock association as well as
every stOckman in Texas TO become
mem ers OF this association, we also
want you to attend our meeting in
Austin on the OH, 10th aud llth of
January and help us to devise WAYS
and means for building up the stock
interests of the state. Our membership
lee is only S. No assessments have
80 far been made against our mem bers,
and it Is hoped and believed that
none will be necessary. Certainly
every stockman in Texas, even though
his herd should not exceed half a
dozen head, can afford to contribute
this small amount. We want your
name on our rolls, we want your finan.
cial aid to the above amount, but most
ct all we want your presence aud cOun-
sci at our annual meetings.
With the hope of inducing our
stockmen to interest themselves in
this work, we, the undersigned exec
utive committee have, instead of issu-
ing special invita- ions, adopted this
method of briefly explaining the OBJ.
jects and purposes of our organiza-
ton. and we desire in conclusion to
urgently invite everyone directly or
indirectly Interested in any kind Of
live stock in Texas TO meet with us
in AEstin on the 9th of next month
aud become members of the
association. Those VINO cannot
attend but who are willing to
give us helping hand are requested
to send So to George b. Loving, secre.
tary and treasurer, Fort Worth, Tex,
who is authorized TO issue certificates
OF membership. Trusting that we
may have the support and cO-opera
ton of every stOGkman in Texas, and
that our third annual meeting may be
a largeand enthusiastic one, One that
will result in much good to the live
st ok interests of all Texas, we are
