will take place at Miller Union Stock

The announcement of the proposed

Cattle Breeders Association.
In speaking of the corning sale, Mr.
Little said:
“The growth and development of the
purpose of our people to breed first class
cattle within the past two years lias
been marvelous. Only a few years ago,
the total number of pure bred cattle in
Georgia was negligible. Today there are
dozens of large herds of Hereford.)

that money can buy. The appeal of our
administration at Washington, arising
from the necessity of feeding ourselves,
our armies abroad and supplying our
allies with their requirements, lias gi- en
an added impetus to this purpose and is
within itself an inspiration to the breed
ers, and is spreading to farmers general
ly, to r. ise more beef and better beef.
This can only be done through the pure
bred types of the best breeds. Unfor

same thing that always follows Imme
diately in the wake of a demand for
pure bred cattle, the importation by
carloads of alleged pedigreed cattle cf
inferior type by irresponsible outside
people, and their disposal to Georgia
farmers as the best Types of theji breed.
“The coming Association sales on
March 29th is epoch-making. The Here
ford Association proposes to have a
similar sale annually. Other breeds will
doubtless follow. These Association
sales mean that only the best types and
best blood lines of the breed are allowed
to be entered and offered for sale, so
that buyers are sure to get what they
pay for.
“In the coming sale, ten bulls and
forty breeding cows and heifers, select
ed from seven large Georgia herds, are
to be offered to the public, every one
representing the best blood lines and
best types of the breed. Already wide
spread interest in the sale has been
manifested and buyers are expected
from the Carolines, Alabama and Flor
ida, as well as from the Middle "West.
“The Hereford is a wonderful breed
of Cattle. The Animal Industry Depart
ment of the United States Government
has said officially they do better under
adverse conditions and better under
favorable conditions than any other
breed. The wonderful success that
breeders in Georgia are having with
1 heir herds has proven beyond question
their entire adaptability lo conditions in
Georgia and the Southeast, and there is
no reason in the world why this section,
with practically ten months of pastur
age in the year, shouldn’t rapidly develop
ir to the best cattle breeding section of
the country.”
