Per Head

A pair Of Hereford bulls, sold BY
the Patterson Land company Of Bis
marck, brought $3.50 each to set .
record at the purebred livestock sale
at Mandan yesterday.
More than 40 purebred hogs and
cattle Of the 80 offered for sale
were sold in the sale, which was the
first step in a movement to bring
more purebred animals into the dis.
trict sponsored by the Greater North
Dakota association.
A. r. Miesen and r. C. Newcomer.
Burleigh and Morton county agri-
cultural agents respectively, had
charge of the local arrangements for
the sale.
Farmers Want Quality
The fact that the highest priced
and best bred animals were sold
first indicated that the farmers in
this district desire animals of quail
ity, according to Miesen. Because
more than one offered to buy sew
eral Of the highest-priced animals,
purchasers had to draw straws for
the privilege of making the pur.
chase, he said.
"The sale proved satisfactory
according to B. E. Groom, chairman
of the livestock committee of the
Greater North Dakota association.
A great number of purebred stock
were sold in the eastern part Of this
district last spring, Miesen said, and
it was noticeable that most Of the
sales yesterday took the animals to
the southern, western, and northern
parts of the territory.
I'VE could hardly interest a buyer
in an animal under a year DID,
Groom said today. "This was not
withstanding the fact that the
young stock sold for an average Of
$50 less per head than the matured
stock. A check up shows that prac-.
tically every sire over a year old
and in shape to use at this time was
sold or had prospective buyer"

Others Want Sales
In commenting on the prospects
for future sales, Groom said that
parties from three different points
asked him to arrange sales in their
territories. No definite arrange
ments are yet made for future sales,
but it is expected that dates for fu-
lures sales will be set soon.
Right now the bulk Of the stock

1928 crop Of calves and are too
young to be sold now" Groom said.
