AS explained by the founders. the
object Of the Grady County Shorthorn
Breeders association is to encourage
the breeding OF registered shorthorn
cattle in Grady county II is expected
BY those who were instrumental in eff
fecting the organization, that within
the year the association will count not
less than 500 enterprising Grady coun-
ty farmers names upon its roster.
BY scattering the membership Of the
board OF directors throughout the sey.
eral townships OF the county II is
thought that an interest will be awak-
ened and kept alive in every section
OF Grady county, the people of each
township having an active board mem
Der who will necessarily be posted up
on all matters of vital importance to
the breeders.
The idea in scattering the directo-
rate about in this manner is also to
encourage and initiate a movement
leading to a "shorthorn show" each
season at the several township fairs,
the prize winners at these fairs to be
entered at the county fair each fall,
the prize winners at which will in
turn be entered at the sttae fair at
Oklahoma City
In the election Of officers it was SO
arranged that each one elected should
be the owner OF two or more regis.
tered shorthorn cattle, thereby being
a man who would take the greatest
possible interest in bringing the eff
cheney of the association up TO the
highest possible standard.
In speaking of the future, and of the
aim of the association, President
Johnston stated yesterday evening
that his object was to pattern this
organization after the Blaine County
Breeders association one of the mos
successful of its kind in Oklahoma ant
in the entire southwest. The Blaine
county organization was primaril.
made up of number of small breed
ers, and as the organization hai
grown and the original members have
grown into "big' breeders, the "littl'
fellow" is still welcomed into the
body and afforded through the asso
citation means Of finding the bes
possible market for the registered out
put of his breeding farm. The idea
as formulated and carried out Il
Blaine county. and as II is expecte'
to be carried out in Grady county, |
TO afford for the small breeder tn
means of joining in with other smal
members, as above stated, until SUI
ficient number Of them shall be gail
cred together to assure the success q
