TERED DAIRY SIRES, ETC.

Through the efforts of the board of
county commissioners of Latah coun-
ty, Elmer N. Paulson, Columbus

missioners of Nez Perce county, ar
angements have been made for a
meeting of the commissioners of La
tab, Clearwater, Nez Perce, Lewis
and Idaho counties at the court house
, In Lewiston, Thursday, January II,
for the purpose of considering a re-
gfonal plan for the eradication OF nox-
ious weeds, the adoption of a program
for uniform road signs for the five
counties and the consideration of the
proposal to join with the fair organ
izations in securing registered bulls
for service throughout the five coun-

missioners to have the farmers of the
five counties join in the conference,
SO that the sentiment from the farm
ing districts may be secured first
hand, with suggestions for carrying
out the projects mentioned. The Of
ficial call for the meeting will be sent
out about the first of the week.
The Nez Perce board of commits |
siOners had under consideration last !
week the matter of financing the plan |
for bringing in registered bulls of |
milking breeds to improve the dairy |
stock on the farms of Nez Perce
county. 1t was disclosed that the
county can not make an appropriation
for such a purpose but in view of I
the fact that the county is assisting
the Lewiston fair association, it is
proposed to have the fair board
finance the program for bringing in
the registered bulls, and an effort will
2oo made to have the five central Ida
no counties cooperate in the move
ment. J.
