individual member. In Blaine county,
Mr.. Johnston said, there are now sew
eral large breeders of shorthorn cat
tie, but the little fellows" still have
their organization and are still work
ing harmoniously and are each year
putting on sales al their headquarters
city, Watonga, which brings pleasure
TO them as lovers Of fine cattle and
profit to them as breeders Of such
cattle in the same proportion as may
be enjoyed by the "big brother" with
the advantages of an unlimited indi-
yidual pocket book.
In referring to the sale of yester-
day Secretary Goosetree said: TO
days sale of registered shorthorns,
the first, will prove within the course
of a very short time to have been
worth thousands of dollars to the peo-
pie Of Grady county. 1t has afforded
the small breeder and the small far
mer the chance to note that register
ed cattle are a means of establishing
and maintaining fat bank account
and il will show the value of silage
as feed. 1t has shown that the breed
ers Of Grady county may make money
by getting together and putting legs
on their ensilage and cotton seed meal.
1t has shown that the landless farmer
who few years ago came to the
farmerless land of Oklahoma, may
now herd the products of his fields
together and drive to market the fin
ished and not the raw and unmanufac-
tured material"
The Grady County Breeders asso-
citation will hold a regular business
meeting during the month immediate
ly preceding the holding of the Grady
county township fairs. The place and
date of holding this meeting will be
