COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS PURE-BRED LIVESTOCK ', 'According to the census of 1920, out of 178,478 farms in Mitinesota, 32,227 farms reported havmg pure-bred livestack. Onig half. of one per_cent of the'horses of »the state are pure- bred ;twe andmne-temhs per cent all cattle'are pure-bred;.one sevon-tentbp per cent of all sheep, and four and two-teriths péf cent of all‘swine are ‘reported a8 being pure-bred stock. Thege percentages are very small and show wihat pure-bred live- Qtock associations haye before them to accomplish before any latge percentage of stock on the farms are pthre-bred. " In the entire United States a little over ten per cent report pure-bred livestock; of horses, six-tenths of cone per cent; cat- tle, three per cent; sheep, one and three-tenths per cent, and swine, threa and. one-half per cent of the total are pure-bred. . Tt i§_blecoming more evident yearly that tlxe trend on the faim: i8 toward ‘pure-bred livestock. It is realized that it costs pmctma!l) ‘the same to maintain pure-bred stock a% grade stock, yet the value to the farmer is much larger and the returns much greater-in the puresbred stock. “." Locally, much interest is being aroused in the' raising of p‘(lrn -bred stock. A start has been made in calf clubs, and con- slflomble tboroughbred stock has been brought into the ¢ommu- mtv apnrt from the pure-bred clubs. . A’display, of' this stock \v\mh will surprise many people will be made at the Bemidji fair next week, and without doubt will be a great stimulus to rdising more of the same kind of stock by many farmers. ——— O THE CONSTlTUTlON OF THE UNITED STATES Topmorrow, September 17, is the 134th apniversary of the Iehon of the Constitution of the United States and has 2 “to.be known as Constitution Day.
