FORM BERKSHIRE ASSOCIATION
Marks important Step in Livestock
Industry of Northwest.


Pullman.
President E. A. Bryan, of the Wash
ington State college, has just received
notice of his appointment as temporary
president of the State Berkshire associ-
alton, which is affiliated with the
American Berkshire congress. Presi-
dent Bryan's appointment is the begin
ming Of the organization of the Berk-
shire association in the state of Wash
ington. This association reaches
through nearly all the states o. the
union, and in the opinion of President
Bryan, its coming into the state of
Washington marks an important step
in the livestock industry of the North
west. Discussing the matter President
Bryan said:
81 believe the Berkshire association
Is one of the most active and successful
livestock associations in the United
States, and that its work in the North
west cannot fail to produce good re-
suits. The Berkshire is favored by
many of the most prominent stock
raisers in America, among whom l
might mention Nick Gentry, Of Sc
dalia. Missouri, who is the greatest
breeder of Berkshire hogs in the coun-
try; Reuben Gentry, of Kentucky; Mr..
Hood, Of Hoods sarsaparilla' fame;
and George Vanderbilt, of Asheville,
Tennessee. Among the most promi-
nent breeders Of Berkshires in the
Northwest are the Ladd estate, of Port
land, and Mr.. Paul Clagstone, of Spo-
kane. l have raised Berkshire hogs
on my Pussy Willow ranch near Pull
man for the past ten years, and am
thoroughly convinced Of the desirable
qualities of this breed.
SIT is proposed by the Berkshire
association to conduct an active cam
paign in the state of Washington, in
favor OF this breed Of hogs, prior to the
Alaska Yukon exposition at Seattle,
Then by the time of the exhibit, oul
state organization will be able to get
up a splendid exhibit, and we will
show the farmers of the state what sort
of an animal the Berkshire is when
proper attention is given him. Yes,
it is very likely that the state expert
ment station will have few Berk,
shires at the exhibit. At the present
time we have some specimens of this
breed that have been pronounced by
the best Eastern experts as equal tt
anything in the United States"
President Bryan today announced his
appointment of the officers and direc'
tors Of the state association who will
work with him in getting the Berkshire
association established in Washington
They follow:
Vice president, Paul Clagstone, spo'
kane; secretary, J. H. Smith, Pullman

Directors: A. M. Stevens, Ellensburg
