1t Happened in Red
Bush, Johnson County

The following is an editorial in the
Louisville Times:
The value of community organiga-
ition is being recognized in Kentucky
there is no doubt of it-and The Times
reJoices to see that its benefits are be-
ing accepted in exactly the section
where they are most needed. How
many OF us lowlanders know all about
Red Bush, Johnson county? There is
really little need to ask, because there
is not so much to know about Red
Bush, or at least a while ago there
was not much to know. But now 1t is
worth while to know of Red Bush that
it is a hamlet with handful of peo-
pie, fifteen miles from Paintsville; and
what is more important that it has
acquired the community spirit
Red Bush has organized Commun-
ity Club for the purpose of raising the
character of the cattle produced there
abouts: and, in pursuance of that ex-
cellent policy, has purchased through
its club three pure bred Shorthorn
bulls and ten pure bred heifers of the
same breed. II is needless to say that
money is not startlingly plentiful in
Red Bush, but the new spirit of the
peOple mas Indue Inem see Ine way
around that difficulty. From now on
the cattle raisers OF Red Bush will
gain greatly increased profits from
their livestock-they will find the same
amount of feed producing far great
erspoundage of beef than ever before,
while the standard toward which they
strive will come nearer and nearer with
each purchase of pure-bred breeding
stock.
Over in Floyd county the same urge
toward better cattle has taken hold of
the people. and now there are fifteen
pure bred Shorthorn bulls employed in
bringing up the Floyd county standard
of beef cattle. The doctrine of oppor-
tunity for livestock in many parts of
the mountains has been preached with
great patience by The Times and 9TH
er Kentucky. newspapers; and these
tokens of progress are of the most
gratifying nature. When the exam
pie of the Johnson county and Floyd
county breeders and producers shall
have been followed generally through
out the Blue Ridge section there will
be less talk of poverty and privation
in those parts. All the mountains need
is vision of opportunity. when ma
tive intelligence and energy will do
the rest
