Texas Against Scrub Sire.

Texas Against Scrub Sire.
Texas has joined the "Better sires-
Better stock" campaign Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
some Texans are already whetting
their penciles in preparation for
writing the obituaries Of the countless
mongrel males which are destined to
walk the gang plank. The Texas
plan of scrub eradication is to stand
ardiZc the work around the county
agent, allowing each county agent to
disseminate information and formu-
late plans for the abolition of the
scrubs largely as he sees fit in ac-
cord with the conditions operative in
his community. The Texas activities
against misfit breeding animals are
typical of those which are extending
throughout the South.
