Cow, State veterinarian with the University of Arkansas and Secretary of the Asso- ciation, expects to give the people of this state the greatest cattle show ever held in the South, on February 6, and 8 at Little Rock. This show will undoubte edly mark an epoch in the his forv for better cattle in Arkansas. It comes at an opportune time, because on December 1, 19 counties were re- leased from quarantine and Arkansas farmers in more than two-thirds of inc state can now take advantage of the climatic conditions, not only for better pastures, but for higher grade and more profitable cattle.

It is a wsll,known fact that in communities where live stock shows and sales arc he'd in connection with county fairs, state fairs or stockmen conventions, tAAt interest in bsttsS live stock has hpsn xiysn . great impetus. This is unApubGedly dne to the fact that the farmer who has . well bred and an exceptional animal in his neighbor- hood often nnds. on attending such shows and by comparing his animal with those found there. that he does not have the Ideal by far; and as re- suit he Immediately tries to improve the quality of his herd by selecting better sires and dams; and this again reflects itself in better live stock for the entire community.
