STOCK LISTED BY COUNTIES
Most Desirable for Communities to
Concentrate on Production OF
Few Breeds.

prepared by the United States Depart
inent Of Agricultural
In the nationwide campaign to oro-
mote the general use of purebred sires
and better live stock, the United States
department of agriculture will keep
records Of the agricultural counties
according to the breeds of live stock
which predominant in them. Practi-
cal experience has demonstrated the
desirability of committees concentrat-
ing on the production of only a few
breeds and types of the different
classes Of live stock. Such manage.
ment not only enables the individual
farmers to aid each other in improv"
ing and upgrading their stock, but also
gains for the communities wide reputa-
tions as centers for certain breeds.
The raising of several dominant breeds
in any community makes that locality
the mecca for prospective purchasers
who are DESTROYS Of buying animals
Of those breeds, and also makes it
possible for buyers to obtain stock In
large quantities.
For the service of persons interested
in examining or selecting live stock,
the department will keep record OF
the dominant breeds and varieties OF
the different kinds of live stock in
each county where such information is
obtained from accurate and depend
able sources. Pending future devel-
opments in this work, a breed or va
riety will be considered dominant If
100 or more good rurebred sires of
that breed or variety are owned and
used for breeding in county.
Sources of information concerning
these farm animals will include coun-
ty agents, officials of state agricultural
colleges, and representatives OF state
boards Of agriculture. The depart
ment requests that state and county
live stock associations transmit fig
ures and all data available on the
purebred sires Of their region to their
local county agent or the state agri-
cultural college. This material should
include statement of the number Of
purebred sires in the county, together
with the date when the information
was gathered. Initiative in collecting
and reporting these data rests entire
~ with the county and state officials.
Information gathered in this way
by the department. of agriculture will
be available to the public. Thus per-

Only Good Purebred Bulls of Known
Breeding Value Should Be Used in
degrading Their Stock.

sons wishing to purchase any kind of
live stock may ascertain readily what
counties in the United States, accord
ing to the records, have pulebred sires
of the various breeds in which they
are interested. Naturally where as
many as 100 purebred sires are used
in community, these herd headers
will stamp their quality to consider
able extent on the live stock of that
county and lead to the production Of
many desirable grade females, as well
as purebred stock of both sexes. Fur
thermore, in counties where a certain
breed is considered dominant, even
though there are less than 100 pure
bred sires, such facts should be re-
ported and will be kept as supplement-
airy records.
