paper by Colonel Ike NJ. Pryor on
1.-The Cuban Cattle Trade was read.
He advocated action at the present
time by the American government to
foster American cattle trade in the is
land. He suggested a heavy discrim-
ination in the tariff to keep out scrub
stock from Mexico and South America.
If Cuba is stocked with American grad
ed stock, she will, he said, in ten years
be shipping cattle to Europe. She will,
he said, be forty years ahead of South
American countries. The matter treated
by Mr.. Pryor's paper was referred to
the executive committee with instruc-
tions to act vigorously.
Adjournment for the day was then
taken.
The work of judging the merits of the
range and thoroughbred cattle on ex-
hibition here in connection with the
convention was completed and the prizes
will be awarded today. The judges are

w. Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo-; I. B. Hord,
