McCray, of Kentland; 11, address “Practical Application of Scientific Principles of Breeding,” Prof. W. W. Smtih, school of agriculture, Purdue; 1 p. m, judging pure bred beef cattle and . draft horses; 2:30, address “The Live Stock Situation with Especial Reference to Beef Cattle,” Mr. C. E.

Live stock and corn judging, which is a regular feature of the annual short course instruction, will constitute a part of the program. The membership of the association has been greatly increased during the past few years, and the increasing interest in the work, of the association indicates that the live stock industry is coming to attain a greater and greater place Jn farming in Indiana. Members will also take prominence in the discussions of the Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford Breeders’ association, which are scheduled for 8 o’clock Wednesday evening, Jan. 14, in Agricultural Hall, Purdue. The four breeders' association meetings will form a vital part of the annual Short course program, tasting from January 12 to 17, and involving an attendance of nearly 2,000 farmers and their wives.
