The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-06-03

SCclaClOn opened at Cne MlHOC CuT4Iik
Rink today with very large atten.
dance. Prominent breeders from ev:
cry section of North Dakota and
many points in Minnesota, Montana
and Canada were present.
One hundred Shorthorn cattle and
sixty Herefords, all registered ami.
mails were entered, making splen.
did showing which far exceeds the
expectations of those in charge of the
affair.
Quite number of Minot people Wis
tied the rink today but not as much
interest was shown by the residents
of our city as should have been, as
they undoubtedly failed to realize the
Importance of the big show or the
value of the stock that has been brot
here for sale.
The plans for the show and sale
were in the hands of a committee con-
sisting Of Major E. S. Person, Mar
tin Apland, prominent Bergen Short
horn breeder, President Henry Finke
of Berthold, President of the Associa-
ton and Secretary N. German: They
overlooked not the slightest detail.
The sales manager B. H. Critchtield
of Fargo is here. He is a "humding-
er" for work and a large share OF the
credit for the success of this big event
is due to his untiring efforts.
The judges are Prof. Shepard ot
the Agricultural College, Mr.. La
Grange head of the Animal Husban-
dry department Of the A. c.. VIM.
Powers, we'll known Shorthorn breed
er from Bainville, Mont, and John
Shaw, president of the First National
Bank of Williston and prominent Her
efOrd breeder.
Among the prominent breeders pres
ent are Alex Currie of Cando; Aptand
and Sorlein of Bergen; Earl Store

liston; McAllister, Devils Lake; Oh.

u. L. Burdick, president of the Yel-
lowstone. Pure Bred Hreeders -Asso:
i ciaficn. is delighted with Minot's first
stock show. He said to an Indepen-
dent representative:
ut is a unique show for the first
tne. a record show would say. II
the breeders can keep up the ratio
oi speed shown at the first show
;here is no reason why Minot will not
soon be the center for live stock in
the northwest. The success Of the
sales depends almost entirely on the
success of the live stock breeders
associations. The towns can't make
the sale-advertising cannot make it
but big organization of breeders
can make sale anywhere. With a
center as live as MinOt, stock breed
ers' organization continually growing
is one big factor that will build up
the community.
/ Prof. Sheppard said concerning the
sale:
"This is a nice show and good
place for it. A show Of this kind
Is fine school. Men who attend this
show today will be deriving benefits
from it ten years from now. This
is 4 more important show than you
will find at state fair, for there
are no counter attractions. The stock
in the main part is in good shape.
would say that only about ten per
cent of the stock entered should have
been kept at home. The ninety per
cent is all in first class condition"
The Percheron section is represent
ed by Levi LiefsOn of Berth0h who
has one of the sons of Burdck's Par
agon, a Kankakee, ILL.,, state fair win
ner.
Henry Finke, prominent Shorthorn
breeder from Berthold and president
of the Association said:
"We are trying hard to make Minot
the sale center Of the state and there
is no reason why we cannot do 80.
The city is located just right for this,
on two trans-continental railway lines.
