sOciatioe Have Arranged With

Funds for Calves.

At the annual meeting of the Ward
County Guernsey Breeders Association

airy Is, 1920, the Directors of that or.
gan;zation laid the foundation fol-
what will be the first Boys and Girls
Guernsey Calf club in the state OF
North Dakota.
Every boy and girl in Ward county
should be interested in this movement
as it gives them an opportunity ia
own Guernsey calf and the profits
from raising that calf will gotto the
owner. This is a splendid opportunity
for any boy or girl between the ages
OF IL and 10 years to get started in
the dairy business and those who buy
calves will have an opportunity ia
learn how to properly care for dairy
COW. They will elect the officers from
among their members and constitu.
ton and bylaws will be adopted which
will govern the condition under which
the calves will be handled.
The club will appoint COMMITTEES
to buy calves and they will be brot to
Minot where they will be distributed
to the club members.
At the end of one year, when the
calves are two years old, they will be
brought to some central point on a
designated day, where show will be
held and prizes awarded to those who
have the best calves, and have taken
the best care of them.
After the prizes have been awarded
all calves will be sold at auction to the
highest bidder. Each member of the
Club will have the opportunity to bid
in his own animal or any other animal
on sale. The money received from
the sale, less whatever necessary ex-
penses there may be, will go to the boy
or girl who raised the calf.
Arrangements will be made BY the
Guernsey Breeders so that registered
Guernsey bulls may be used by all of
the club members and it ID the inten-
ton to breed all of the heifers, 80 that
they will freshen soon after the sale,
making them more desirable.
The Ward County Guernsey Breed
ers Association will cooperate with
the Farm Bureau in supervising the
club. Norbert D. German, County
Agent, will assist in the supervision
and will arrange to make periodical
visits to the club members to advisa
them in the care Of their animal.
The Union National Bank Of Ninot
will furnish money to any. boy or girl
who does not have the necessary cash
to put into the calves, and will loan It
to them on one years time % that they
may pay for them out Of the money
realized at the sale.
Any boy or girl who wishes TO join
this club should notify the county
agent, or any member Of the Guern-
sey Breeders Association at once.
