growing stock together to dis
cuss the different matters of in
terest to stock growers, and to
learn from each other what is be-
ing doEe in that line of industry
in Arkansas.
The meeting was a pleasant
and profitable one. 1t brought
out the fact that Arkansas has
some mighty good stock of all
kinds, and that we have good
many breeders who. are up to
date and know what they are do
ing. The meeting revealed that
we have quite number of breed
ers of fine horses, mules and
Jacks. There was perhaps more
/ interest shown in cattle raising
than any other kind of stock, and
it would have been a good place
for the members Of future legis'
latures to learn something of the
deep interest that is being taken
in the subject of tick eradication.
We learned also that Arkansas is

leading breeds of hogs. Hogs
