HATFIELD STOCK GROWERS
 GET 15 FULL BLOOD CALVES
Offer Of Bank of Hatfield to Loan Money at 6 Per Cent Is Beginning

Offer Of Bank of Hatfield to Loan
 Money at Per Cent Is Beginning
 Several months ago the Bank of Hatfield began advertising per cent money to farmers with which to buy full blood stock. After few meet ings several farmers responded to the call and began discussion on what to take up iirst--hogs. cattle or horses. They unanimously agreed to take up first the importa- ton and improvement of full blood cattle. Many questions were asked on what breed was best suited for Polk county. Some said Jerseys, some said Red Polls, others said it lay between the Shorthorns and the White Faces. Most all liked the White Face best After this decis- ion was reached the rest was easy The stock growers in and around Hatfield and the Bank of Hatfield got together-each deciding on how many White Faces he wanted and designated J C. Allen, cashier of the bank, and Bob Miller. an experi- enced cattle man, living east of town, to attend the big Statc sAsso- citation Stock Sale recently held in Little Rock.
 Mir. Allen and Mir. Miller decided to make the trip and after finding out the kind of cattle mostly de- sired, they left for Little Rock on last Wednesday. They attended the sale and returned home Sunday aft CT having bought i5 head of full blood White Face calves. The calves wcia due in Hatfield Tuesday, but from some cause were delaycl in transit
 This, the largest shipment yet O! Hatfield's full bloods, connected wd.l the enthusiastic talks made bv Mir Allen and Mir Miller over the various things they witnessed at the Little Rock sale, has got even the boys and girls talking full bloods or nothing.
 Really the date of the beginning of this movement dates far back udCh u tlit tlliit Whtll ". It. dotih- son, Dr. Mullins. D. E. Meyers, W. j.. Davis and others all tried their hands at raising first one full blood breed and then another. They all fell down in many ways. Ticks would invariably get in their deadly work sooner or later. People saw something must be done and they did it. They began the construe- tion of dipping vats, which are proving to be a suecess-so suc- cessful in fact that all farmers can remove all fears from ever being bothered with the tick fever among their cattle, if properly and regu- larly dipped.
 Everything indicates that these calves will grow oif well They were
