Department. The generous support accorded to the movement by Canadian Bankers’-Assoolstlou,affords a practical demonstration

the attitude oi' the Banks _towards -the live stock industry, ond, the active participation ot the Association 'in this campaign is bound to strengthen and create general interest in farm live stock. ' "
