OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE v
vr..J •
An event of the greatest importance to the farmer?
and dairymen of the bounty will take place on nexl
Friday, and we wish to urge every farmer of the coun
ty to attend. * n
The first promotional Guernsey sale ever to be held
in thb county is scheduled for next Friday at 1 o’clock
at the Zeb Young farm east of Burnsville. 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.
