The Decatur County Improved
Live Stock Breeders Association held
a business meeting after the Farm
ers Institute closed Friday, at which
arrangements were made to have
another stock show next year. 1t
was left to the executive committee
to cooperate with the institute COM
mite about holding the show in Oc-
] tOber, as owing to the limited ac-
commodations for stock and the un-
| certain weather, it was thought best
to hold the show little earlier. 1t
| was also decided to include hogs
and sheep in the prize list as we'll as
colts and calves, and the association
will offer SIS in premiums in these
| classes, so that farmers can begin to
make arrangements now so that
there will be better general show
ing of stock next year. There is
nothing which will advance the live
stock interests of Decatur county
more than a good stock show, be-
cause this is a natural stock coun-
try, and every farmer is interested
in making it success. The associa-
tion elected ten new members and
| they would like to have as many
more new members at the March
meeting.
