LIVESTOCK SHOWS HELPFUL.
The Inland Empire is especially IA
vored in having two fine livestock
shows within easy reach of the entire
empire. This week the big show at
Spokane is being held and people
from eastern Washington, British
Columbia and northern Idaho are in
attendance in large numbers. The
best cattle, horses, sheep and hogs
of the four northwestern states are
on exhibition and some of the very
best animals are being sold. They
will be scattered out among the farms
and herds of the northwest and will
add much to the improvement OF the
livestock of this section.
Next week the Northwest Livestock
association will hold its annual show
and sale at Lewiston. This will be
easy of access for the people of CEN
trail Idaho, southeastern Washington
and eastern Oregon. The same stock
seen at Spokane will. be there and
there will be many additions to the
exhibits. During the show some fine
animals from each department will be
sold.
Everyone of these shows stimulates
the livestock and encourages the
breeders to improve their stock. Eve
ry prize won by an exhibitor encour-
ages him or her to strive to do better
next year. AS a result some won
derful improvements are being made
in the quality of the livestock of the
northwest.
1t is interesting, instructive and
profitable to attend these shows. One
meets the pioneers of the livestock
industry of the west, the men who
have made it one of the great profit
producing Industries of the four
northwestern states. There are e. S.
Sweet of Grangeyille; Henry Thiessen,
of Sweetwater; A. B. Cook of Town
send, Montana; j. H. McCroskey OF
Sprague: Frank R%othrock, and Harry
Day of Spokane; Duncan Dunn OF
Wapata, Wash, and many others.
Mr.. Sweet has, for many years, won
valuable prizes for carload lots of
hogs and cattle shown at the Lewiston
stock show. This year he took the
first and third prizes on carloads of
hogs at Spokane, getting a good prize
and then sold the hogs for the record
price of 20 cents a pound, live weight.
These men have found it profitable
to deal in and to breed better animals
each year. There is a strong, but
friendly rivalry between them, but
they are all aiming for the same
thins-the betterment of livestock
and every resident of the northwest
is benefited by their efforts.
Moscow should send a big delega-
ton to Lewiston next week to see the
livestock show. 1t opens Sunday with
the grand naval band concert in the
afternoon. If it is a nice day and
the roads are fit, Moscow automobile
owners ought to drive down and at
tend this concert and see the great x
hibit of livestock. No one who goes
will regret having done so.
