(Propared by the United States Depart

One of the most unique and success
ful community breeders' assodations
of the country Is located in Loudoun
county, Va. It Is unusual 'ecause in
stead of fostering the breeding and
improvement of a single class of live
stock, it sponsors the improvement of
eight breeds and classes of live stock.
The excellence of such a plan is that
duplication In work and extra expense
are eliminated, while the society is
really standardizing the production of
purehred live stock within Loudoun
county.
