To Eliminate Scrub Sires

S~AAA ~AS~Ses~oS
Washington, D. G. July 30-"Better
Sires-Better Stock" This is the slo.

ed States Department of Agriculture,
working in cooperation with the State
agricultural colleges and other agen.

try, and was planned after extensive
consultation with specialists and bree.
ders. The plan is to hasten the re-
placement of the multitude of scrub
domestic animals in the United States
with pure-bred or high-grade stock,
and also to improve the quality of
pure breds themselves. The goal in
view is greater efficiency in produc-
ton.
The campaign will be the first or
ganiZed crusade in q large country
to improve all live stock simultaneous
ly. 1t will interfere in no way with
any work in livestock improvement
now being conducted, but makes all
the work more definite and effective
by providing official recognition for
progressive breeders.
The campaign will be supervised
from the Department of Agriculture
in Washington, and in each State by
the State agricultural college. Coun.
ty agents and other field workers OF
the Department Of Agriculture and OF
the State colleges will handle the cam
paign locally. Every livestock own
er actively cooperating and keeping
and using none but pure-bred sires
of goood quality will be given an en-
b1em as an official recognition Of merf
| torious effort.

proprietors OF soda fountains have an
extremely difficult job before them in
