These individuals from the uni er-
sity herds will be used to illustrJ Rte
the possibilities 0x livestock bree&ai
ing and feeding in Idaho and to show
what great returns will come to our
commonwealth when feeders as well
as breeders give their attention to
raising and keeping better live stock.
This train seeks to show that live
stock may be used as a means of
marketing the larger part of the
grain and forage crops and thus
adopt factory methods on the farm.
Thus the Livestock Special seeks
to give an impetus to the movement
for diversified farming in north Ida
no by making livestock the universal
basic crop of the farm.
The slogan of the university Live
stock Special is: more and Better
live stock for the Idaho Farms"
