178 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



No change was made in the executive committee. 

 The do-something spirit was again manifest at 

 this meeting. The president was instructed to 

 file copy of constitution with Secretary Mohler 

 which step completed the affiliation of the 

 association with the Kansas State Board of Agri- 

 culture. He was also instructed to confer with 

 tlie other state pure bred organizations with a 

 view toward presenting to the state tax commis- 

 sion a plea for a uniform and equitable assess- 

 ment of pure bred stock in Kansas. The execu- 

 tive committee was instructed to investigate the 

 feasibility of employing a competent man to de- 

 vote his whole time to developing Shorthorn in- 

 terests in Kansas. The committee was also to de- 

 vise means for meeting the expense of such plan 

 and to take steps toward putting it into effect as 

 soon as practicable. It was decided to hold an- 

 other sale at the Kansas State Agricultural Col- 

 lege in 1921. 



The association now has 375 paid members and 

 it is one of the most active organizations of its 

 kind in the United States.
