The Enterprise Is grieved to inform It's
readers that Rocky Ford is about to lose
one Of the most persistent and optimistic
boosters for the Arkansas Valley in the
person Of Col. James A. Lookhart, the
veteran head of the Lookhart Live Stock

porated company. Late last week these
new members purchased the entire in
tsrests Of Col. Loekhart and his sons in
the big feeding plants here and at Sugar
City, which are said to be two Of the best
Of the kind in the United States. The
purchase price. we understand. was
Sl5o.ooo.
Col. Lockhart was ono Of the first cat
tlsmsn Of the state to demonstrate the
value of sugar beet pulp for feeding pur-
poses. The plants are equipped with
miniature railways which haul its feed
and distribute It automatically to the
stock In the feeding pens. During the
last ten years the Lockhart company has
fattsnsd $4,000 cattle and $4,000 sheep
at the two plants for tho Kansas City
and Chicago markets.
Col. Loekhart came to this city from
Texas fiitssn years ago. bringing to COL
orado at that tune $4,000 head Of cattle.
Since then he has been one Of the most
prominent cattlsmsn in the stats as well
a. one Of the most progressive citizens Of
the Arkansas Valley.
