Meeting of Eastern Berk-
shire Congress Here
March 2 and 8
WILL BE BANQUET
AT BROOKS HOUSE
Sale of Swine at Purebred Live Stock
Sales Co.'s Pavilion - Breeders and
Speakers of Prominence to Be Among
the Visitors.

Z
the Visitors.
Vermont has been chosen again as the
stage setting for a convention of inter-
state Importance, for the Eastern Berk-
shire congress will gather at Brattleboro
March ? and 3, and County Agent Frost
and the officers of the state agricultural
experiment stations of New England will
endeavor to make the event an unpre-
cedented success.
Plans for the Eastern Berkshire con-
gress are already assuming considerable
proportions and the program, which,
aside from the official meeting, will in
clude a banquet at the Brooks House, at
which several speakers of prominence
will be heard, viii attract large num-
Der of Berkshire hog breeders from
throughout the eastern territory.
/ The Berkshire congress is a depart
partment of the American Berkshire as
sociation and the territory which it en-
braces includes all of the northern and
eastern states as far west as the Mis-
sissippi river and south to the Mason and
Dixon line.
The progressive Berkshire breeders
have for a long time recognized that to
push the Berkshire breed of swine ahead
more rapidly and to draw public attention
to the superior qualities of the breed,
genuine cooperation and intensive work
is necessary.
In introducing the breed in localities
where Berkshires are not numerous the
auction sale has proven the shortest line
: to the education of the public and the
, development of new breeders, and there
. fore in conjunction with the congress
there will be conducted an auction sale
: of purebred Berkshire swine, and con-
y signments from the best breeding estab-
/ Iishments in America will be offered.
: The Eastern Berkshire congress should
4 attract New England farmers to Brat
tleboro March and 3, whether or not
Il they are members of the association, as
+ the congress program will afford many
4 interesting and instructive features while
r The sale will provide an opportunity tC
. secure high bred animals as the founda
: tions for profitable herds of swine.
r Berkshire hogs are very popular il
v the West and South, being particularly
p numerous in the corn belt, and no doubt
will become more popular and common il
New England when their remarkable
qualities are generally as well known anC
appreciated as they are in other sections
of the country.
The congress will bring together
