AWAKENING INTEREST
PRESIDENT WHITE OF THE
STATE ASSOCIATION PLEADS.
Cogent Reasons Why Every Stock
Owner Should Secure Membership
Important Meetings This Week
Duty to Prepare For National
Convention Next Year.

Feeling the necessity of awakening
greater interest in the varied livestock
interests OF the state as a forerunner
to the annual convention of the Ma.
( tional Livestock association to be held
in Salt Lake next January, President
John H. White has issued the following
address to the cattle, horse, sheep and
swine growers of Utah:
1T is particularly desired to increase
the membership of the Utah Livestock
association this spring and throughout
the year. The organization at present
is sustained by membership of abou:
100, who represent all branches of the
livestock industry of the state.
This limited cooperation does not
secure to the livestock industry of the
state the benefits which a bigger and
stronger association would procure for
it. 1t has already accomplished some
good. although feebly supported by the
cattle and horse branches of the live
stock business of the state, and this is
the only cattle association in the state
which contemplates an oversight of
that business and the promotion of the
, interests of the people engaged in it.
Benefits of Membership.
Every stockman in the state should
belong TO this association at all times
for the good he would get out of it.
and for the strength his membership
would give to the organization in be-
half Of the industry generally, and he
should become member of the asso-
citation this year. because the state Of
Utah will be called upon to entertain
the National Livestock association next
January, when 1000 or 5000 visitors
from outside the state will be mingling
with US for a week or more.
This national organization is by far
the most powerful which has ever been
started for the good of the livestock in.
terests. It already has a big member
ship, made up of western and south
western, local and state cattle, sheep
/ and horse associations, and the yearly
accessions are very numerous. At the
next annual meeting Their will probably
be 1,500 delegates in attendance. and
the questions which will be discussed
affect the interests Of every man in the
livestock business.
'The Utah Livestock association
ought to be a member of the National
association. in order that Utah cattle.
sheep. horse and swine owners can have
a voice in the next convention and a
vote on the questions decided: and the
stockmen of the state ought TO be
banded together this year, anyhow. for
+ this reason. as well as to receive and
properly entertain all delegates to the
/ National convention.
Duty of Utah Men.
salt Lake expects to distinguish
herself and the state by her reception
of these visitors and the quality OF
entertainment she will provide for
them, and every stOckman in Utah
ought to have pride enough in this
matter to commend this laudable de-
I sign.

4 Utah Livestock association will be held
