IA SPEAKS; ALLECE'FALSE PROPAGAND
THE FARMER B ENG Combined
AGAINST BY LARGE INTERESTS
tral Dept K S. u. CorrectsProf T. Bryant, of Agrcu
the False Statements Definite Plan Made for Every Co.
in the State to Have Pure Bred Live Stock

all of the agricultural sections. He
called attention to the purchase of
several pure bred bulls by the bust
ness men of London, KY, at their
expense for use i'm the country as a
purely business investment
Prof Bryant then quoted the fol-
lowing letter sent to all county agents,
in support of the movement and out
lining their field campaign:
Letter Sent To County Agents.
Plan 1. Induce three or four farm
ers in the same neighborhood to sell
their scrub bulls locally or by ship
ment to Louisville, with the under
standing that the combined proceeds
are to be applied to the purchase of
a pure-bred bull
Plan 2. A group of three or four
farmers who have no bulls at all may
be gotten together for the specific
purpose of purchasing a bull.
Plan g. One of your banks can
probably be induced to purchase a
bull and place the same in the hands
of reliable farmer who will keep him
for his service and who will agree to
allow patrons of the bank to breed
their cows to the bull upon notifica-
ton from the bank to the effect that
the man owning the COW or cows to
be bred is patron of the bank. In
this case the bull would have to be
moved from one part of the county
to another. This plan may be altered
by having the bank purchase a good
bull as business proposition and
charge fee of $500.
Plan t. One of your banks can
probably be induced to purchase a
bull to be given away at drawing
contest July 4th. The drawing will be
by numbered tickets issued with each
time deposit in their bank between
now and July 4th.
Plan s. An implement house might
be induced to take up virtually the
patron be given ticket for each pur-
chase of $1.OO worth of goods.
Plan 6. This plan to locate in
dividual farmers who will agree to
purchase bulls out right This is per-
haps the best plan.
From all indications we are led to
believe that the bulls are likely to sell
at abnormally low prices at the sale
June end The breeders consigning to
this sale are approaching the PROPOSE
ton with very great misgivings. as
they are afraid that they are being
taken to a position where they will
have to practically give away some
valuable bulls We should be exceed
mgly sorry for this to happen. but if
any of our breeders will have to sell
.keir pure bred bulls at !, sacrifice
pG:cc. ! would rather the farmers of
Kentucky get bargains than anyone
else. From every standpoint includ-
ing the conditions in your own coun-
ty and ,lso the conditions in your
own county and also the encourage
ment of our breeders, | am hoping
reasonable success
