j. NJ. Erion, president of the South
Dakota Live Stock Breeders Associa-
ton, departed Monday for Bookings
to attend the winter meeting of the
breeders of the state. Brookings is
making preparations to handle the
sale this year in the fair grounds
buildings, which will have to be
heated with stoves. 1t is reported
that it has been a difficult matter to
secure enough cattle and hogs to
make a successful sale. 1t is hoped
that the stock breeders will return
to Mitchell for their future meetings,
for the home of the institution was
really made permanent in Mitchell
when the legislature made appropria-
ton OF $1,000 for the erection of a
building in which to conduct the
sales.
