Livestock Campaign
Quite Successful
Milton P. Jarnagin, Professor OF AMI
NAL Husbandry, Georgia State
College OF Agriculture.

The campaign for more and bet
ter livestock which has been conduct
ed in Georgia by the College of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the rail
roads, proved as great a success as
could be hoped for. Practically the
whole state was included in the itin-
erary, every line of railroad being
used. About IT'S stops were made by
the exhibit cars, the arrangement be-
ing to make two stops day. About
$4,000 people visited the exhibits and
heard the speeches made by the ex-
perts accompanying the exhibits.
All those who saw the exhibits know
more today about what pure-bred live
stock is, what different breeds are
and their adaptability to local condi-
tons than they ever knew before. I'm.
questionably many have been led to
desire pure-bred animals and many
have already determined to have such
types of animals as their foundation
for breeding. The ultimate outcome
of the campaign, therefore, will be a
loI &c SoACIlDul1ou W lue IupIoFe-
ment of livestock, the influence of
which will continue indefinitely as the
effect of better breeds develops from
year to year.
This campaign would have been i'm
possible without the assistance of the
railroads. They joined most heartily
in the undertaking.
