Arizona Bulletin Shows In
 State 214 Breeders of Some of Highest Classes of Stock Found Anywhere

Some idea of the extent of the secured from a brief bulletin just is sued by E. P Taylor director of the agricultural extension service of the state university, which in a partia list shows that there are not less than 214 firms and individuals in Ari- zona thus engaged. It is pointed out in this bulletin that it is not neces- sary for the seeker after pure-bred stock of practically any kind to leave the confines of Arizona for even the comparatively unusual breeds are rep resented in the state already.
 There are, for instance, fl breeders of pure blood Holsteins, while 2S are engaged in the breeding of high class Jersey cattle. There are Il Hereford breeders and breeders of pure blooded Duroc Jerseys and the Poland China breeders number 13. High class horses of all established types are to be found in the state. In the Perch eron class there are 8 breeders and in the fancy sheep classes there are IT breeders.
 The bulletin states that the breed CTS have been listed largely through the efforts of Dr. R. H. Williams, an imal husbandman of the University of Arizona and G. w. Barnes, livestock | specialist of the university extension service.
 i In his introduction Mir. Taylor says: Arizona is fast reaching the stage 1 when breeders within the state car 1 supply the necessary pure bred breed- | ing stock to build up and maintain our livestock herds and flocks. There was a time when it was necessary tu seek for pure breeds without the state | but in most cases highly satisfac- tory, acclimated and adapted pure bred sires and dams can be bought from Arizona breeders.
 The purpose of this circular is tC provide a roster of Arizona breed
 CTS of pure bred livestock so that per
 sons wishing to get in touch witt i such breeders may do so, and so that
 breeders themselves may be brought into closer touch with one another.
 "The greatly increased cost of feeC and livestock production is added ar gument for the pure blood anima
 adapted to its specific purpose. TherC
 is strong reason at this time for {
 vigorous culling of inferior animal!
 with a substitution of only the high.
 est producing pure breds. The purt
 bred sire should be urged even nor,
 strongly than before, now that eff
 cient production is being stressed.
 Tn circulating this roster of Ari
 zona breeders of pure bred livestocl
 it is probable that some names hav
 been omitted that should have beel
 given, and some breeders listed ma,
 have disposed of their herds sine
 their names were secured The exten
 sion service will appreciate notice O
 corrections that they may be observes
 in future publications of livestock list
 and rosters"
