trip through Gibson, Dyer, and Obion
counties last week to inspect several
flocks of registered sheep. Some
real good flocks We're found. Mr..

most excellent flock of registered
Shropshire sheep. Mr.. Mitchell
makes all of the big fairs and Is
good winner Mr.. e. P. Tigrett.
at Newburn and his neighbor Sam
Parks had some very excellent
hampshire rams. The chances are
that we will be able to purchase

county.
County Council Directors
Meeting.
A most important meeting of the
board of directors OF the County
council was held Saturday, July 23rd.
There have been several requests for
some relief for the dairy farmers
of the county, This matter was
discussed and il was decided to get
the dairy farmers to cooperate first
in the shipping of their cream.
This would make for cooperation
and would build up the dairy bust
mes to where at some future date a
creamery could be started. So a
meeting has been called for Satur-
day, July 30th, at 2 p. M, in the
county court room at which time
the matter will be discussed. All
Of the creameries have been asked
to submit prices for the cream that
will be shipped out Saturday, the
cream being sold to the highest
bidder. So all the dairy farmers
are urged to cooperate in the sale
of their cream and to be present
in the meeting Saturday to work
out better method of selling our
cream.
The board of directors also dis
cussed the Exchange List. The
directors were unanimous in their
opinion that the Exchange List is
about the best movement started.
1t was endorsed by the directors and
all pledged themselves to cooperate
in making the Exchange List just
as serviceable as it could possibly
be.
