DON'T SELL BREEDING ANIMALS
'Don't sell your bra-ding rnimnls unless you can replace them immediately wit]i better ones," is the message the iJiiitcd States Department of Agriculture is sending to farmers ami stockmen everywhere. '"Don.'t let the temptation of high prices now being offered for Tive stock or undue fears of prices asked' /or many-popular feeds mislead you into selling a cow or sow that will t'rop the golden calf or litters. Such near-sight-ed profit taking or lack of courage, if widespread, would strike at the foundation of the country's live stock intlu.?_try and cripple it for years to come. As there is a shortage v o{ meat animals throughout the world, we can not hope to import new breeding stock to replace
those we foolishly have killed off. Our own breeding animals therefore, must he regarded as tho seed essential to the domestic meat supply of the nation."
