EVERY TOWNSHIP SHOULD
 HAVE LOCAL BRANCH

Every township in Nevada Countv ought to have local branch of tbs Prescott Live Stock Association with its own vice-president.
 The constitution provides for vice. president in each township and it is the purpose of the Association to have a local organization as a part of the Association, in each township with the township vice-president at its head. These local bodies will have their own meetings as often as they see fit and transact their own busi- ness but will be subject to the Live Stock Association.
 If any township wishes to organize the organization committee will send man to meet with them any time to explain the work of the Association. If there is no organization effected in your community come to the meeting of the Live Stock Association Dec. 29th, and see what you think of it.

general mixing and crossing of breeds that defeats the very purpose of those investing their money.
 There never has been any appreci- able improvement in any kind of live stock, in any country, where there was not definite aim, certain strain of cattle, hogs or other stock. There never would have been a great breed of Jersey cattle if the people of Jer- sey Island had not outlawed all other breeds.
 The Prescott Live Stock Association is the outgrowth of desire on the part of some of our most enthusias- tic farmers to remedy this great evil in our county. Watch it and see if there isn't a charge during the next five years.

There would be greater diversi- fication too if our farmers had good farm machinery. The seed drill, a good disk and section harrow would encourage the farmer to put in more grain.
 These things would settle the labor problem to a great extent too. One man with a good pair of mules and plenty of good farm machinery could handle more acres, two to one, than the ordinary farmer can cultivate in corn and cotton with the average Ark ansas farm equipment.

Everywhere we hear the complaint that Arkansas needs a better grade of stock. The question is often asked Why is Arkansas so far behind in the matter of stock raising?" The an swer is easy. Arkansas has never had any system in her efforts to i'm prove her live stock Here and there is community that has made an eff fort to improve its stock but each community has acted independent of it's neighbor and as result we have many different breeds and none of them pure
 There has even been opposition in some cases, community opposing con- munity. One neighborhood forms a stock company and purchases thor ough bred stallion. A community over in the next township becomes jealous and they too form stock company but of course they must outdo their neighbors and so they purchase horse of a different breed. The result is a
