breeds OF livestock are unexcelled
by those OF any other section in the
southwest, and as yet, owing TO the
prevalence of cattle ticks, which has
prohibited the raising of pure bred
cattle-these resources have scarce
!y been touched.
To the contrary, while there has
been creditable individual achieve
ments in the improvement OF herds
by the use of registered bulls. an un-
precedented boost 10 the industry
is still patiently awaiting the CON
certed action which will push this
section to an enviable position
among the foremost livestock local
ties in the country.
Good Stuff Always Pays
OF course, apprecable action To-
wards this end will be necessarily
retarded by the time required for the
thorough eradication of ticks. But.
on the other hand, the progress of
the move will materially depend rp-
on the momentum given it during
the near future when, it is said the
entire world will be demanding tip
top breeding stuff-the kind of cat
tie and hogs which invariably pays,
and the kind of cattle and hogs that
may very easily be raised in Carter
county.
Even at the present time, the meI
who raise the best cattle and hogs
get the best prices, as matter of
course, and it cannot be denied that
the men who are raising the best
stuff are making a financial success
OF their business; are making. money
while building up their herds TO
still greater possibilities. Such men
have taken their initiative and have
demonstrated what can be done un-
der adverse circumstances They a,c

have desirable influence in stinu-
lating the interest of men who arc
apparently indifferent to the quality
OF their livestock, but will have a
tendency to cause rivalry among
those men who already have register
ed animals in friendly competitive
efforts to see which can produce the
best gets. With such practice in
vogue it will not be long until even
the quality of breedings brought
into the county will be noticeable.
Under such conditions, the rest is
assured.
Benefits to Members
The greater the membership of an ,
association of this nature, the wider
its scope OF influence, and the great
er its benefits. And the benefits } |

members as the community as {

Among them. however. may he t
