Der of the visitors and breeders
The purpose of this excursion
was to stimulate interest in the
breeding of better stock and the
talks at the banquet disclosed a
very determined purpose on the
part of the Nezperc and Craig
mont citizens to join in an effort
to promote diversified farming
and better livestock on the farms
of the prairie country. Out of
this excursion will grow the or
ganization of one or more pure
bred associations and it is quite
probable that Idaho county
breeders viii be asked to join in
the organization of a two-county
association.
