BREEDERS ORGANIZE
Dairymen of Fulton County and
Vicinity Organize Fulton County
Holstein Friesian Association. At
The Court House Saturday, August
18th. Thirty-two Members.

About fifty dairmen of this and
neighboring counties assembled at
the Court House last Saturday morn
ing, pursuant to notice that an eff
fort would be made at this time to or
ganize an association of Holstein-
Fresian breeders. Mr.. L. E. Connell
of Fayette called the meeting to or
der, stating that he had had such an
organization in mind for some time
and that he was principally respon-
sible for the call Of ttihis meeting. He
then presented his reason for wish
ing to bring such an organization in
Fulton courty. The purpose Of lsuc:l
IN organization is to advance the in
terests of Holstein breeders; to i'm
prove the dairy cattle of the county
in every way possible; to encourage
others to purchase pure bred cattle;
and especially to aid in the sale of
surplus stock.
Mr. Connell then called on several
of those present to express their
views. W. H. Standish, told of the
success of the Lenawee County as
sociation, and all seemed heartily in
favor of a Fulton County organiza-
ton.
On motion of C. P. Grisier,- L. E.
Connell was made temporary chair
man, and Jay C. Burr was named
secretary.
Mr.. Fyke OF Bryan then moved
that committee on permanent or
ganization be appointed. c. P. Grisi
er, w. H. Standish and Fred N. Burr
were named. This committee was al
so made a committee on rules The
meeting was then adjourned to 1880.
At the afternoon session over a
hundred were present. The reports
of the committee were read and ac-
cepted. The following officers were
elected:
President. E. Connell, Fayette.
Vice President-W. H. Standish,
Lyons.
Secretary and Treasurer-Jay c..
Burr, Wauseon.
Executive Committee-H. A. Nc

cite
After the election of officers an ap-
portunity was given those present to
become members by paying the an
nual dues of $500. Thirty two paid
their membership fee.
A census was then taken of the
pure bred Holstein cattle owned by
those present. and it was found there
were 564. This would indicate that
at present there are a thousand pure
bred Holstein cattle in the county.
It shall be the aim Of this associa-
- [hfe I,a
times within the next few years.
With three large condensories
withinfa radius of twenty miles or
less, with the wonderful capabilities
of the Holstein COW, and a live or
ganization of breeders, Fulton cosin-
ty should become one of the most
prosperous dairy sections of the
United States. 1t may be of interest
to many to know that at present Full
ton county has within her borders
two Worlds Record cows, in addi-
tion to three other cows that have
made thirty pounds or more of but
ter in seven days. Eight or more
cows in the county have A. R. O.. re-
cords from twenty-five to thirty
pounds in seven days.
After a friendly discussion of
questions pertaining to the dairy in
terests of the county, the meeting
was adjourned to meet in November,
at which time it is hoped there will be
manv new members. Anyone, in this
or neighboring counties who is inter
ested in Holstein cattle whether
grade or pure bred, is invited to
become a member of this organiza-
