MOST UNBELIEVABLE
Scrub Cattle Constitutes About Ninety
Per Cent OF Michigan's Cattle
Census

The effort that is being made In
Iron county 60 eradicate scrub cattle
has called attention TO the condition
in the entire state. Mr. Bfggeman,
head OF the agricultural division OF
the Detroit Board OF Commerce says
that a careful estimate OF the cattle
OF the state puts 80 per cent In the
scrub class.
Mr.. Bingham formerly was secre-
tary OF the Michigan State Farm Bur-
eau and has made an exhaustive study
OF the livestock situation In Michigan.
"The strides that are being taken
to develop pure bred stock on Mich
ligan farms is remarkable" Mr.. Bing-
ham said. THE farmers are waking
TO the possibilities for profit In this
direction, with the result that stock
raising is taking a decidedly forward
step.
MIR. Bingham declared farmers iu
communities throughout the state
were forming stock breeding associa-
tions. thereby bringing about com
! plete Cndube III th' No"'P'
stock raising.
As an instance OF what can be ac'
compllshed over period OF years IT
this direction the department heae
cited the trouble experienced las
autumn by breeders OF certain strair
OF cattle In Alphena county. Twelve
years ago there were few pure blood
ed animals OF this breed la the county
The stock raisers began introduction
OF registered animals with the resui
that Alpena county is now one OF th'
centers OF the country for this kn'
OF cattle.
AT the state fair last year the Alpe
ma farmers desired to exhibit some
their prize cattle and TO show hesid
them a type OF the animals found OF
the farms before the better breedinl
Idea was put into effect. The exhip
ltors found II necessary to seek
every nook and corner Of the count
before one OF the scrub cows could b
found. This indicates. In Mr. bins
