The committee that has been ap-
pointed by the fair association to con
duct live stock sale in connection
with the fair at Montrose has been
at work on plans for some time The
fair board at their last session voted
$3.50 to cover the expense OF equip
ment needed to carry on the sale.
The plans are well under way and it
is suggested that those having stock
of good quality to consign bein readi-
ness to list them when solicited by
the committee. Twelve pens will be
built at the Fair grounds and also
three pens to be used as soles pens.
These will be in readiness few days
before the fair. The rules governing
consignment and sale will be publish
ed within few days.
There is considerable interest on
part of farmers in the valley to get
started with few sheep on the farms
II sheepmen would consign a few to
the sale to be held at the Fair 1t would
assist greatly in encouraging the in

direct benefit to all concerned.

This pest is serious to the livestock
industry as 1t effects the first cutting

should be taken locally to prevent it's
ways of spreading that we are concer-
ned with is the practice of movers
and peddlers hauling horse feed in
their wagons from place to place
OF bedding from place tc place. 1t is
not possible to exterminate the pest
so far as is now known SO that great
care need be taken by local farmers
in an attempt to keep the trouble from
spreading An article will be publish
ed in few days explaining this pest
in detail as to its effect on alfalfa.
