BUMPER CROPS SURE

Bumper crops all through the Ar
kansas Valley are assured. There is
more water today than in years past,
and the volume, instead OF being de-
creased is constantly augumenting.
Wednesday the gauge at the Rocky
Ford bridge showed four feet one inch
which is considerably more than has
been recorded at any time within
three years.
All OF the bitches are full and there
is sufficient volume OF water now to
insure a run of at least ten days more
and II there is any rain it may last for
month longer.
1t is unusual for July 4th to pass
without half OF the bitches being cut
out, but this year will see the middle
Of July pass with every ditch in the
county carrying water.-Rocky Ford

Good Prospects for a Creamery
Industrial Association Working to Secure It, Means
Much To Ordway And Ncinty

In quite way, the creamery propO-
sition has been Investigated by mem-
bers OF the Ordway Industrial As
ISOLATION and many OF the farmers nj
this vicinity and much valuable in
formation, including reports from
various cooperative creameries
throughout the states, has been gath
cred together and the whole makes Il
very good basis for the association to
work on in placing the matter before
the farmers and dairymen.
Through thorough investigation the
officers Of the association have found
out who are the reliable people To
deal with in purchasing the plant, the
best kind Of separators to be used and
they are now putting the proposition
up to the farmers, and the way they
are signing up without any hesitation
whatever, denotes the hold the idea
has taken upon them and there is
very little doubt that Il cooperative
creamery will be built in Ordway in
the near future. That it will be a
success, those In Il position to judge,
feel confident.
The plant installed will cost ap-
proximately, 1000 and OF this amount
sl700 has been subscribed we might
say. voluntarily. The list has only
been started and there will probably
be little difficulty in raising the re-
quircd amount.
Among the data contributed Is a
statement from J. p. Wright, OF
Traverse, MINI, a brother OF w. w.
Wright one OF our best farmers and
one OF the enthusiastic workers for
the creamery.

The Ordway band and the business

following from the Gazette:
"At nine o'clock the Ordway band
was on hand, and began playing not

the horses, ran against the divider

stick into its breast eight inches. DR..

A GREAT REUNION
Missourians Propose to "Show" That
Thsre Are Some in Ofero County

Reports from all over the county
mittees bring assurace that the first
Missouri Reunion, to be held in the
Rocky Ford Fair Grounds one week
from tomorrow, Saturday, July II,
will be the biggest celebration OF the
kind that has ever been held.
From every town and crossroads
they are coming In to celebrate Mis-
souri, Day, and II ''you all" Missouri
ans are not present on this auspicious
occasion the few who fail to get out
will feel mighty lonesome.
All arrangements are not yet COM
pleted, therefore a complete program
can not be given in this weeks issue,
but below is about what Is to be car
ried out: Every Missourian In Otero
county will be expected to be present
and to form line on Maple avenue on
north side Of City Park at 10 a. M,
and march to the fair grounds, after
which all will get acquainted and
spread dinner and have general good
time. In the parade it is expected
that there will be several floats and
most likely prizes will be given the
best float, and also for the float repre-
senting the largest number OF Mis-
sourians from any one county. Cali
thumpian turnouts and stunts are ex-
pected.
There will be refreshment stand
on the grounds, and the privilege for
running same will probably be given
to the highest bidder.
After dinner there will be speaking
by prominent men, after which there
will be ball game between Rocky
Ford Missourians and La Junta Mis-
sourians. This promises to be very
interesting. There will also be several
races about as follows, and suitable
prizes will be given by merchants to
the winners:
100 yard foot race boys 10 to Is years
old; bicycle race mile, gentlemen
under 30 years old, wheels with gear
under SO; sack race, free for all; bur-
ro race, girl riders; egg race, girls and
boys; hour race, free for all; three leg
race, free for all; slow mile race.
Parties taking part In the races do
not have to be MissourIans, but any
one is invited to take part. The
public Is cordially invited to attend
the entire afternoon program.
For information relative to Mis-
souri, Day, inquire Of President DR..
Moody, or Secretary Mrs. Mary j.
Anderson, or any Chairman Of Com
mittee.-Rocky Ford Enterprise.

Live Stock Market.
Special to THE New ERA.

Special to THE New ERA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, July II.
Cattle receipts here last week were
fairly good at $4,000 head, run same
week last year $1,000. The market
declined 10 to 25 cents on heavy steers.
but light steers and butcher cattle
closed about steady for the week, after
selling higher middle OF the week.
Grass cattle lost Is to 25 cents during
the week, with cows selling at the
smallest loss. Some fed Colorado
steers brought $3.50 and $500 during
the week, and Kansas grazed western
steers sold at s5.25 to s6.25, grass cows
at SO to 81. The run today is only
5000 cattle here, the supply kept down
by inability OF railroads to handle
stuff properly, account Of big rains and
washouts In Kansas and Missouri.
The stuff is selling around steady to-
day, although the supply is not nearly
sufficient to supply the normal de-
mand. Indications point to a small
run next few days, and with the Co.'S
saton of flood conditions, and the i'm
provement OF the railroad situation,
the demand will require large sup.
plies OF all kinds of cattle. Stockers
and feeders lost ground last week,
closing Is to 25 lower. Very few are
included today, stock steers at 1918
to IS, feeders $3.50 to $5.l5, few
weighty feeders at $3.50 lately, buyers
of same intending to feed them for
the September market.
Supplies of sheep and lambs are
fairly good, and the market has been
stronger since the first Of last week.
Supplies today are only 1000 head, but
offerings In the last week have en-
braced wide variety Of stuff, includ-
ing Utah wcthers at $4.6O. yearlings
Is. 25, California lambs s6.75 to $3.50,
Arizona muttons $4.25. feeding ewes
$4.l5, feeding lambs s5 25. spring
lambs ss, Colorado spring lambs sS.l5,
Texas ewes and wethers mixed sA.25,
Native spring lambs $3.50, and young
breeding ewes s5.25. Prospects point
to big corn crop all over the corn
belt this season, and q strong demand
for all kinds Of feeding stock this fall.
