LIVESTOCK MEET
HERE AUGUST II
First Meeting of New Organization
Be Held Here Saturday Afternoon
at 2 O'clock; Survey of Livestock
in County Being Made

The Watauga County Livestock
Association which was organized
last Monday, is getting down to
business in dead earnest and ques-
tiOnaires have been mailed out from
the office of the secretary in an eff
fort to determine the exact status of
the livestock industry in the county
at the present time. Those who re-
ceive these blanks are asked to bring
the information, together with any
other interesting data, to meeting
of the association which is announced
for next Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the courthouse.
The first step to be taken by the
newly formed organization is one de-
signed to place thoroughbred bulls
in each township in the county and
the questionable calls for COM
plete census of these animals, show
ing the number, age and stock of
each and whether or not they are
thoroughbreds. 1t is further re-
quested that the information shall
inquire of the owners if they would
be willing to replace scrub sires with
thoroughbreds. The reverse side of
the blank is left open for the names
of the owners of the bulls, and a
special effort is being made to have
them attend the next meeting of the
association.
G. P. Hagaman, secretary to the
association, also asks that those
making reports obtain such informa-
ton as they conveniently can about
sheep raising in the various town.
ships, including number owned by
the various farmers, number needed,
quality of bucks, etc. A campaign
is also to be waged to the end that
all eve lambs be kept by the owners,
or be sold to other farmers of the
I county.
An unusual degree of interest is
! thus far being shown in the livestock
and poultry expansion program, the
farmers are becoming fully awake to
the opportunities offered by inten-
! sive stock raising and the Livestock
! Association enables both farmers and
business men to cooperate in this
/ important movement
