GrdtiOt HOIStein
Directors Meeting

Last Wednesday evening the Direc-
tors Of the Gratiot County Holstein
Friesian Association met at the Farm
Bureau office for the purpose of de-
veloping a more united effort in pro-
noting the Holstein breed of cattle
in the County.
Calf Club work was thoroughly dis
Gus sed and methods Of helping boys
and girls who undertake this work
planned. Assistance will be given in
locating calves, which are well bred,
which should make foundation cows
or satisfactory herd animals. They
will also offer subscriptions to the
Holstein Friesian World, the official
breed paper to all Club members ex-
hibitirg at the County Fair.
Efforts are being made to make an
especially strong Holstein Showing at
the County fair and all breeders are
being encouraged to prepare any good
individuals they may have and help
boost the breed with an extensive
exhibit. Aside from the regular
prizes the Association will offer
Championship ribbons for the best in
dividual made and female Holstein
exhibited.
A County breeding policy was con-
sidered with the idea of breeding
along certain desirable lines and es-
tablishing a standard toward which
all breeders could work. This would
create a better source of Holsteins
and be more attractive to buyers.
Cow testing Associations, testing
for tuberculosis, a consignment sale
and Holstein breeders tour of the
County were also discussed.
This Association was started last
wear and with the optimistic attitude
Of the breeders and the desire to co.
operate in promoting the breed
which was manifest by the. directors
il no doubt will be quite instrument
al in making the Holstein COW ar
asset to Gratiot county agriculture
