Excerpt from Trends in West Virginia Agriculture Improvement in quality has come about not only in field crop and fruit production, but in the livestock industry as well; As a result of better breeding, feeding, and management the quality of all classes of livestock has shown great improvement. The elimination of large num bers of diseased animals, the control of diseases and parasites among the classes of livestock, the selection of superior individuals for breed ing purposes, and many other factors have resulted to the profit of the livestock industry in all of its phases. These developments which have been briefly noted and which have all come about within recent years, have given to the crop and livestock interests of the state a greater stability than maintained previously in periods when acreages of many crops and the numbers of some classes of livestock were higher than at present.
