Farmers Week 1t Lamar.

c. X. Buckley WAS 4 Lamar visitor
last Tuesday. which was Dairy
Day" at Lamar during the five days
celebration OF Farmers Week" La
mar is much enthused over the milk
industry. and OF course has much
reason to be. Farmers Week" was
under the auspices OF the students of
the Lamar high school, and all OF the
lectures and demonstrations were Civ
en- In the auditorium OF the high
school. The students appear to be
AS much Interested In the study OF
agriculture and dairying as the farm
ers themselves. and gave demonstra-
tions of the Babcock test for the edi-
fication of their visitors.
Such practical methods OF educa-
ton are surely fine for the rising
generation. and the originator OF the
idea should be awarded n gold med
al. We need good farmers In the
Arkansas Valley much more than We
need stcnoKraphers. doctors and law
yerr In order to secur. results that
count We ought To hay. an aEricui-
tural course In the La Junta schools
during the coming summer. that Is.
n we want to make the mos, OF the
thousands OF dollars that We spend
upon the schools every year.
Mr.. Buckley visited Lsmar's new
milk condenxary. and had long talk
with the manager Of the plant dur
Ing which he acquired much vxlu-
able Information. About 1890 cows
have been shipped into the territory
around Lamar during the past year.
They sr- high grade stock and cost
from 800 To $3.50 each. The fac
tory handled the output Of about 300
cows when Il started In January
which has since been increased to
500. The plant Is handling 10000
pounds Of milk daily ut the present
time, which means that about $500
Der day or $500 per week IL bssns
