GOVERNOR HERE
Advertising OF Meat AS A
Food Is Urged By As
sOciatiOn head.

The attention of Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and California cat
tlemen, gathered in this city for
the opening of the twenty-first an
nual convention of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers association today, was
divided between the problems of
raising good cattle and marketing
their cattle at good prices. The
outstanding note of the convention
is the general optimism that pre-.
walls, due to the fact that Arizona
cattlemen have had one of the best
seasons in the history of the state
More than 100 delegates repre-,
senting a number of states and
equally as many professions, were
present at the opening of the con-
vention. Most of the delegates, carr
rying out the general idea of maxi
ing this convention one strictly of
business, followed the idea of the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce and
Mines and local business men and
laid aside their Stetson and beaver
hats for Derbies provided for the
occasion.
The advertising of meat on an
extensive scale to combat the great
advertising being done by manu-
facturers of grain products and
other things intended to replace meat
food was urged by Henry G. Botce
cf Phoenix, president of the asso-
citation, in the principal address at
the opening session Tuesday morn
ing. millions of dollars are being
spent in advertising these prod
nets to replace meat" Boise stated
"and unless we cattlemen advertise
meat to combat these advertising
campaigns, it means the end of the
cattle industry"
Boice spoke in favor of the recent
cccision of Secretary Jardine in re-
gard to grazing fees, the increase
until 1928. Boice stated: 'This as.
sociation is in favor of a fair fee
for grazing on forest lands and the
public domain, provided grazing, in
proportion to the fee charged, is
furnished This is the reason this
association has not opposed the de,
cision Of the secretary as some other
state ASSOCIATIONS, where conditions
are different, have DONE"
Boice also spoke on the movement
of the Better Beef ASSOCIATION, WhlcI
is working on a plan for the grad.
ing of beef so that the public, ir
buying meat, may get what is paid
for and know what it is getting
by the price paid. Grain is graded
in this way, and there is no rea.
son why beef cannot be handled ir
same way" Boice stated.

association during the past year II
