U CJ The Southern Cattlemen's association was organized at Montgomery, P1 July 9, 1913. A hundred or more cattle growers and Bhippers, national and state live stock officials and rep- I" resentatives of the Btock yards and railroad Interests were present and took an active interest In the organization of the association. The avowed object of the association are as follows: L. The eradication of the cattle tick. 2. The development of a profitable cattle industry In the south*. 3. The promotion of effective and ??l 1 - - J * " uoliuuui uuu biaie live Block sanitary legislation. The means which have been suggested for the accomplishment of these objects are in part as follows: 1. The holding of meetings for the discussion of live stock problems and the dissemination Of live stock information. 2. The organization of local or county associations which will promote the work of tick eradication and the improvement of the cattle of the locality by the introduction of pure bred bona 3, By assisting the small live stock producer in marketing his products. It has been suggested that an active field agent may be employed by the 0 association to assist local cattlemen in the attainment of these purposes. At Memphis, Tenn., on December 10th and 11th, 1913, the first regular meeting was held and -a constitution and by-laws adopted fixing the annual membership dues at $2.00 per an- p num. At that meeting a large number of cattlemen were in attendance .from all the southern states, from Kentucky to Florida and from Virginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm g ran high. Every southern cattleman owes it as his duty to Join thlsl association, and bankers, professional p men and merchant^^i^^^^ afford e IThe lnlttar^ work of the assocla- K tlon will be dli-ected toward the erad- ? i icatlon t>f the cattle tick.
