That Is the, first thing seen by tho

"It means the passing of tho scrub,"
the Bulletin continues.
"It means greater success In live

'Good-bred stock will outsell Uio

"If you wnnt better stock consult
tho county agent In your own county
or else write to tho division of exten

"Now Is the time to put Tennessee
on the live-stock map.
"If you believe In belter live stock

nessee has natural advantages for
wonderful live-stock development, but
the 'better sires' crusade will do much
to hurry along this development."
