INTRODUCING PURE BRED
STOCK INTO MEXICO

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Introduction of
pure bred American live stock for the
rehabilitation of Mexican agriculture
has begun in a systematic way, ac-
cording to Guy H. Hall, director OF
the National Institute of Progressive
Farming. B.@F. Abbott, a repre-
sentative of the Mexican auxiliary of
the Live Stock Registry Associations
of the United States at Mexico City,
writes that Mexico is stocking her
vast plains with pure breds, which
probabl Twill give Mexico a wealth
greater than her mines and oil wells,
and add to the worlds food supply.
"Mexico is potential market for
American farm machinery, but in the
matter of tractors there is an anon
ally" said Mr.. Abbott. There are a
number of tractors in Mexico-Pan-
cho Villa has two-butati is costly to
operate them. This is because the
price of gasoline is so high. With
the greatest oil fields in the world,
Mexico is without refineries and gas
oline is imported.
Government officials pledged that
custom house difficulties at the Dor
der would be eliminated and freight
rates reduced on all pure breds COM
ing in under the guarantee of the
registry association. This includes
the acceptance as final by Mexican
authorities of health certificate from
American veterinarians"
F. w. Harding, secretary of the
registry associations and president
of the American Shorthorn Breeders
association, who is in active charge
of the export field for the associa
tions, is optimistic over Mexico as
market for pure breds, tractors ant
farm machinery, and as a market fo1
pure BREEDS

the erection that these ten steps
involves is the will power to work

10 spend ones earnings wisely for
things that really count and are
worth working for. 1t is just
ordinary common sense not to spend
all or more than one makes and to
save something for future wise
