SWINE BREEDERS
SHOULD ORGANIZE
Attention, Poland China Breeders
OF Hand County

Miller. May 7-Several weeks ago
al article appeared in the Press con-
corning the organization Of a county
?. G. Breeders association for Hand
county. In further agitation of the
subject the writer feels that he is
striking at a very crying need of the
breeding fraternity. Abraham
Lincoln has said. Where there is
union there is strength" While
these words were applied towards
maintaining the union. why may we
not apply the same principle to our
breeding activities.
An association of this nature
would foster the development of
better herds of swine throughout
the country. association sales, where
each member might bring breeding
animals to be sold at auction, the
bringing of eminent practical swine
men IN to talk upon better methods
to be used in raising and caring fer
swine besides upholding a more
social atmosphere among the county
breeders 1t would also give COM
bined advertising facilities which
otherwise we cannot enjoy. There
r many advantages to be had be-
sides these but | believe these are
the most important.
Now, it may be that there are not
enough Poland China Breeders in
the county to make a strong organl-
cation so possibly it would be best
for all the swine men to combine re.
CARELESS of breed. Let us hear
from some other men interested in
this subject. Between corn plant
ing and harvest would be a good
time to organize; why not get about
it? A Poland China Breeder.
