Lester F Whltlock, manager of the stock yards and of the Ogden Livestock Live-stock show, in discussing the real value of the show to livestock men and to the west in general, said today: to-day: "Problems of marketing livestock are constantly before the minds of western men for there are comparatively compara-tively few people of the west who are not directly or Indirectly affected by this great western Industry, There has been realization of this fact o the Ogden men who are responsible for the starting of the Ogden Livestock Live-stock show. That Is the reason that, in plans for the first and the second annual exhibitions, they have brought forward those phases of exhibition that will provo of greater benefit In solving problems of the livestock men. Establishment at the Ocdcn Stoek Yards has been followed by such continued con-tinued and consistent growth that fa. ts ,.f this proRi-.-Mv bear ample at-lext at-lext to Its usefulness. They also show that this enterprise s rightly placed at the termlnul point of the west's great railroads the Soutncrn Pacific, I'nlon Pacific. Oregon Short Linr. Donver & Rio Grande and two lectrlc lines. They attest lo the strategy position of (he marker thus provided ' for the west. To the livestock man of ! the western stales th.t must mean a, rv great deal. It must and docs dls-i lose that western marketing of west- crnrgrown stock is advisable. "Now -In connection with the live- stock Industry of the west. Ogden business men, professional men. bank- ers and Others have provided an Im- , portant feature in working out these' marketing problems the common-; ! ground exchange of Information i I through holding of the ugden Live-! stock Show. "To gt tho most from his hogs, his Sheep or hlS cattle, thj western man realizes that he must have that best Ldapted to the western conditions. I I'be Ogden Livestock Show will bring valuable lessons along that line. It will show Just how westerners have) i mplished that, have secured the. j best results from their livestock. This , will not he true of a single individual ! animal or .lust one herd, the hest of. I , all kinds will be shown. There will be the opportunity to Study the con- ditlon and the value of o.ilry herds ar I well as beef cattle, the various breeds of sheep the hogs that are considered i the best adapted to the west. Feeder cattle will be shown. The men who have bred these animals are amonn' the best known of the west. Their flocks and their herds are a lesson in j i themselves, a lesson on a most Important Im-portant srrle? of steps toward proper market ing "There was a day when the razor, back hog held sway in many states' and the cross bred range type of cat-Mle cat-Mle dominated others. That day has l practically ended. The gain Is noti I only mde In sending livestock to mar-, mar-, k i but in sending the right kind ot '. , attic the right kind of sheep, the I righ kind of hogs to market. So kern-ly kern-ly ts this realized that the Ogden) I Livestock show s planned to brinK before 'he man Utah Idaho. NeJ , vada, or any other western state thej ' true Import of hetter breeding, bet- ter feeding and through theso of be I ier marketing, with a view that tho west shall realize the heat possible 1 returns from Its livestock and the ' growers and raisers, the feeders and 'the breeders, make more rapid prog-. 1 res than Is possible through Individ-j ! ual study alone." |
