cattle growers ana shippers, national

Tesentatlyes OF the STOCK yaTds and
railroad interests were present and
took an active interest in the organ
cation OF the ASSOCIATION.
The ayoWed object OF the associa.
tion are as follows:
l. The eradication of the cattle
tick.
z. The development Of a profitable
cattle industry IN The south.
3. The promotion of elective and

The means winch have been sug.
Bested Tor the accomplishment OF
these objects are in part as follows:
!. The holding OF meetings for the
discussion Of live stock problems and
fhe dissemination Of live stock iuror-
nation. 2. The organization OF local
or county associations " hiCh will pro-
mote the work Of tick eradication and
the Improvement Of tAe cattle of the
locality by the Introduction of pure
bred bulls. 3. By assisting the SMALL
live stock producer in marketing his
products.
1t has been suggested that an active
Held agent may be employed by the
association to assist local cattlemen
in the attainment of these purposes.
At Memphis, Tenn, on December
1Oth and 18th, 1913, the first regular
meeting was held and a constitution
and bylaws adopted fixing the an

AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil, and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con-
s~ervation stands in a class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
Increasing proportion of cur thought.
The crop that is indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that
continues to b. held in the highest es-
teen by the leading thinking men of
that section. For instance, in the
finest blue grass section Of Indiana |
know a leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is digcarding blue grass
very largely for timothy, herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because Of the greater amount Of
feed the new pasture crors are pro-
ducing. So while the grass has not
been much in evidence upon the farms
over much Of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that Is
everyW here present among our peo-
pie regarding the are of the soil leads
US to believe that the matter will be
tried out in q large way during the
next ten years.
