It appears, therefore, that by a comparatively small additional investment the members of these two associations were able to secure very much more valuable bulls. Both these Missouri associations seem to have considerable influence in encouraging their members to keep pure-bre- d cows. The Webster county association started with1 only 2 purebred cows, but in 1920 there were no fewer than 95. The Wright-Dougla- s association had no purebred cows at all when It began, but a year later it had 12, a change which, though small, shows progress and may lead to great results in the future.
