For Good of
 the Community

A LABAMA may be said to have made fair start as raiser of pure bred live stock except in the matter of sheep. The state still lags there, but reports from several Alabama counties indicate inn prOvement
 More important perhaps than the num- Der of pure bred animals on farms is the number of farms on which. there were pure bred live stock in 1920. Some of the data from the preliminary census report of live stock on Alabama farms in 1920 are as follows:
 Number of farms reporting live stock of various kinds-9,744.
 Number of farms reporting pure bred horses-154.
 Farms reporting pure bred cattle 3,294.
 Farms reporting pure bred beef cattle -1,161.
 Farms reporting pure bred dairy breeds-2,328.
 Farms reporting pure bred sheep-83. Farms reporting pure bred swine 1873
 Number of pure bred stock on these farms was as follows:
 Horses
 Cattle -10,633.
 Beef breeds of cattle44, ,526.
 Dairy breeds of cattle-6,108
 Sheep-323.
 Swine ,397
 In pure bred cattle the Shorthorn is the favorite, being represented on 424 farms Herefords on 355 farms Aberdeen An gus on 191 farms, Polled Durham on 125 and all others on 66 farms.
 Of the dairy breeds the Jersey is far ahead of all others being found on 1,711 farms, Holstein-Friesan on 481, Guern- sey on 21 and all others on 1 15 farms.
 In the case of hogs the Duroc-Jersey is the leader. He is found on 4,270 farms, the Poland China on 2,305, the Hamp- shire on 624 the Berkshire on 321, the Chester White on 155, the Spotted Poland China on 51 the Essex on AS, the Tam worth on 15 and all others on 184 farms.
 In beef cattle there are found far more bulls than COWS, the number of bulls being 1,O87 and cows 3O7. This shows that herds are being built up through the graft Illy OI pure UICQ Oll IIlC lldClVC SCOCk.
 In the milk breeds there are more cows than bulls, the pure bred COW being sought for her immediate milk-producing quail ties. The bulls in dairy herds of pure bred cattle number 1,208 and the cows l 1880.
 This is a good beginning. With 9,744 Alabama farms engaged in the produc- tion of pure bred live stock the state will soon be covered with the pure bred incre- ment issuing from them. Numbers of these farms not only raise one kind of pure bred stock, but several kinds. Pure bred swine and cattle go hand in hand on more than half of the farms engaged in ! that line at all
 Much of this has been enabled by good marketing methods. It would not have been overlapping to raise pure bred hogs and present them to the tender mer- cies of home market and the low prices ol% s~@
