Arkansas Stock Raisers I
To Organize
Meeting Called For This Purpose March 13-14, j
1912, to Be Held in Pine Bluff
The first meeting of the stock raisers of the state of
Arkansas will be held at Pine Bluff, March 13-14, 1912,
for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization
of the stock raisers of the state. '
Every farmer realizes that stock raising is the ultimate
end to which his attention must be turned, and Arkansas
should and will be the greatest stock producing state in
the union.
The railroads and educational institutions are combined
in this great work, and, in company with some of the
greatest stock-raising experts of the country, will tour
the state in special trains during the next two months in
a grand effort to interest the farmer along these lines.
A modern packing plant will be in operation in Pine
Bluff within one year, which fact settles for all time the
question of home market.
The citizens and Chamber of Commerce of Pine Bluff
will entertain the visitors and reduced rates will be given
by the railroads.
