 The Southern Csttlemen's Associa- lion. according to Dr. R. M. Cow. State Veterinarian with the University of Arkansas and Secretary of the Asso- citation. expects to give the people of this state the greatest cattle show ever held in the South, on February 6, 2 and at Little Rock This show will undoubtedly mark an epoch in the his tory for better cattle in Arkansas. It comes Ut an opportune time. because on December l, 19 counties were re- leased from quarantine and Arkansas farmers in more than two-thirds of the state can now take advantage of the climatic conditions, not only for better pastures, but for higher grade and more profitable cattle.
 The stock show will not only be of great interest to Arkansas people, but it will undoubtedly have a marked eff feet in the immediate development of the live stock industry. It is well known fact that In communities where live stock shows and sales-are held in connection with county fairs. state fairs or stockmen conventions, that interest in better live stock has been given great impetus. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the farmer who has a well bred and an exceptional animal in his neighbor- hood often finds, on attending such shows and by comparing his animal with those found there, that he does not have the ideal by far and as a 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.
