Hancock county farmers are gradu'
ally coming to the front in organlza'
ton work, the latest event being the
organization of the Hancock County
Poland China Breeders association,
among the members of the Hancock
County Livestock Breeders assoc1a
p, ton, and plans for their first consign'
ment sale have been formulated, the
same to be held at the fair grounds on
August goth, the last day of the Han
cock county fair.
| The officers of the Poland China
association are: John Hannah, pres1-
dent: e. L. fraser, vice president; n.
A. Eckhardt, secretary treasurer. The
executive committee also includes }.
r. Atkins and j. l. FarnsWortn. Inese
men together with the other members
of the association, among whom are
IR. M. Cassell, H. R. Graham, w. ~
Nc Cormick, Lee Slater, Kent Slater
and w. H. Sergeant, have agreed TO
put a few of their very best animals
into the association sale. This VIII
bring together a group Of Poland
China hogs that cannot be duplicated
anywhere in the county. Hancock
county has more pure bred Poland
China hogs than any other county at
the present time, and these enterpfls-
ing breeders, together with number
of others, are determined to let the
Poland China breeders all over the
country know that the best hogs, as
well as the largest number, are to De
found here. The sale will be extern
sively advertised, and while it is PROB
able that the first sale will not realize
as high prices as the quality of the
hogs will merit, yet the advertising
secured for the different herds of the
county which consign good 1ndlV1-
duals, will be Of the greatest value.
The farm bureau is backing the
work of these organizations and Farm
Advisor Lloyd reports that he hopes
TO develop organizations similar 10
the Poland China association among
the advocates of a number of the
breeds of cattle and swine. This is
real constructive work which is a
good example of the big things that
can be done by group of farmers
working together as they do and nave
done in the farm bureau.
