PROCEEDINGS OF ANNUAL MEETING. 



(Rufus Jackson, Secretary, Mexico.) 



The annual meeting of the Missouri Saddle Horse Breeders' 



Association, held in connection 

 with Farmers' Week, was called 

 to order on the morning of Janu- 

 ary 16th by the president, 

 James A. Houchin, Jefferson 

 City, after which Rufus Jack- 

 son, secretary, called the roll of 

 members. The minutes of the 

 last meeting were then read and 

 approved. The report of the 

 treasurer was presented. This 

 showed about $45 as belonging 

 to the association. Fifty-three 

 members paid their dues during 

 the last year. 



The secretary reported that 

 following a suggestion of the 



Ritftis Jackson. 



president, he last year got in touch with the secretaries of the fair 

 associations throughout Missouri and made a personal appeal, ask- 

 ing them to be as liberal as possible in the matter of premiums for 

 saddle horses. Partially as a result of this work, more money was 

 offered at the Missouri fairs for saddle horses last year than ever 

 before. In fact, more than twice as much money was offered for 

 saddle-horse premiums during the years 1911-12 than for the years 

 1907-08.
