Community breeding simply means
that the farmers In a certain commu.
.n.ty agree to do two things-first, to
breed but one breed OF cattle, sheep,
OF hogs but q course the idea applies
bes: TO cattle breeding; second, they
agree TO use none but pure. bred sires,
these sires being owned either indi.
vidually or collectively. Everyone is
absolutely free to do as he pleases
Just so long as he sticks to one class
OF stock and uses pure-bred sire.
These ideas can best be carried out
II the farmers are organized in body
and where they get together at stated
periods.
Is there not some community in
West Virginia. which would be richer
for having such community breeders
association? True there are many
pure-bred sires used In this state but

Is there any good reason why We should

Before the stat: can ever make big

There Is no advantage gained by
