The men 'who will offer animals for sale are among the outstand ing Guernsey breeders of this section. The animals offered are from the finest Guernsey herds in the sec tion. Many of the outstanding men of the state Guern sey association, and two representing the American Guernsey association will attend. It is with extreme satisfaction that we have noted the recent rapid improvement and development in growing both beef and dairy cattle in the county. However, unlimited possibilities remain; expansion in these fields has just begun in this section. An event which offers opportunity for growers to obtain out standing animals for their herds here, and at the same time offers the opportunity for fanners and civic lead ers here to meet specialists and leaders in the dairy in dustry, should attract every farmer in the county. An event of this importance deserves all the pub licity that can be given it, arid it deserves the support and attendance of every person interested in the pro gress and advancement of the county.
