Pure Bred Breeders Hold Re-Organi-
ZatiOn Meeting

A meeting of the pure bred breed
ers of Winneshiek County was called
on Saturday, May 9th by the County
Agent. This call was sent out as
many OF the breeders had expressed
themselves as being anxious to get
together in order that proper cooper
alton among the breeders might be
promoted and if possible to arrange
some way In which their animals
could be shown to better advantage
at the County Fair.
The meeting was called to order
by County Agent and Sam Waters
appointed president pro TEN and c. c.
Illgrim secretary protein. Mr.. Waters
| made a few remarks and suggested
that Col. Mullany of Waukon, who
was present should make a few re-
marks inasmuch as he was president
of the Allamakee County Breeders AS
sociation and during his experience Of
the last four years could probably
give US some very helpful informa-
tion. His remarks were helpful and
interesting, outlining and describing
their method of conducting their as
Sociation.
The question of securing officials
for the re-organized association was
brought up and a motion was carried
to nominate officers by acclamation
and vote by ballot. The result of the
ballotlng gave Sam Waters the pre-
sidency, Fred Gross, vice president,
and a motion was made and carried
that gives the County Agent, whoever
he may be, the secretary and treas
urer-ship. One director for each of

OF conditions in regard to showing

ests of agriculture at the County Fair
the thought being brought out at sew
eral times during the meeting that
too much attention Is being paid to
the amusements and not enough to
. agriculture at our County Fair and
, In asmuch as Winneshiek County is
purely an agricultural county the ag-
ricultAral exhibit should be made
more of.
