Moultrie Reports Gcdn in 



Co-op Scde Of Livestock 



Moultrie county increased its per- 

 centage of livestock marketed coopera- 

 tively from 23 to 24 per cent, won the 

 9th district prize in the performance con- 

 test sponsored by the Illinois Livestock 

 Marketing Association. 



Runners-up were Douglas and Effing- 



ham counties with greater percentages 

 sold cooperatively. They failed to gain, 

 but held their 1936 records. The district 

 is composed of 13 counties in south 

 central Illinois. 



Moultrie's success is attributed to 

 county-wide publicity, feed lot tours and 

 regular meetings of the county livestock 

 marketing committee. C. O. Frederick, 

 chairman of the livestock marketing com- 

 mittee for 1938, has announced a goal of 

 30 per cent of livestock marketed co- 

 operatively. Other plans include greater 

 use of publicity, regular meetings, mar- 

 ket tours and grading demonstrations. 



During 1937 the Sullivan and Bethany 

 shipping associations were temporarily 

 united to form the Moultrie County 

 Shipping Association. W. H. Tammeus 

 managed the association. The Association 

 operates two trucks. The Lovington Ship- 

 ping Association, managed by L. T. 

 Anderson, operates one truck.
