Show Dunkley and Call Attend Livestock Show; Plan To Purchase Stock Willis R. Dunkley of the local Federal Rehabilitation office and Anson B. Call, county agent, left Tuesday morning for Salt Lake City, Ogden and Logan to attend the livestock shows now on and to purchase, under the cooperative plan set up under the Rehabilitation Rehabilita-tion administration program, a number of sires for the groups of local cattle growers, both for dairy stock and range herds. According to Mr. Dunkley, his office and that of the county agent are being highly pleased with the reaction of the livestock men to this opportunity for building up their herds and this method of cooperative purchasing and use is rapidly gaining favor, not only in this section, but throughout the United States. It is their plan on this trip, says Mr Dunkley, to look into the possible purchasing of three or four stallions for this section, as well as breeding stock for the sheep and pork growers. And at these cattle fairs or exhibits ex-hibits is the logical time to ge a lineup on quality sires, since the very highest class animals are brought into the centers and frequently fre-quently offered at bargain prices. On Monday Leland Dalley, assistant as-sistant to Mr. Dunkley, and family and Mrs. Eleanor Smith, economics econo-mics director and two sons, Darrel and Jordan, made a business trip to the Arizona Strip to contact the people of Mt. Trumbull and Tu-weep Tu-weep in the interest of rehabilitation. rehabili-tation. They report having had a very successful trip in making known the rehabilitation work to the growers of that section and to find projects already begun are flourishing. The range in that section sec-tion is said to be better this year than for many seasons and the crop prospect is unusually good. Mr. Dalley and Mrs. Smith praise the work done by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kent of the Flying Diamond Dia-mond ranch, who they say, have made a vertiable oasis of beauty in the sage brush wilderness. |
