FAMED CROOKS HERD
OF HOLSTEINS
WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY
Lsnsr News

Mrs. A. M. r. Crooks, presi-
dent of the Colorado Holstein
association and widely known as
a promoter of the best dairy in
terests, will soon arrive in Holly
with her pure bred herd. The
community is certainly to be CON
graduated upon the acquisition
both of Mrs. Crooks and her
collection of fancy Holsteins an
advent which marks the arrival
of the first herd Of pure breds
and means much to the dairy in
terests Of Prowers county. Mr..
w. S. Partridge of the Model
dairy farm is largely responsible
for having induced Mrs. Crooks
to locate in this section, and it
may safely be said that if the
dairy business is to assume its
rightful place in Helvetia terri
tory there must be other boosters
to join Mr.. Partridge in inteIli-
gent effort.
A good place has been arranged
for the Crooks herd in which no
expense has been spared to make
everything convenient, sanitary
and modern; here will be afforded
an opportunity for careful breed
ers to procure the very best reg
istered stock, and this will
eventually raise the standard of
practically every dairy in the
county. Wise dairymen will re-
joice that the fame of Helvetia
has attracted people who have
both the means and the disposi-
tion to improve the race of Hol-
stems and will take advantage of
its offering to them.
Later-Mrs. Crooks arrived on
No. 8 yesterday, and in a hurried
talk with a Chieftain reporter,
stated that the Holly country was
especially adapted to dairying,
and that her herd would arrive
next Sunday from Gunnieon, bar
ring accidents, and that was all
she had to say for publication at
present.

Hardy Alfalfa v.rietie.

As seed time approaches the ques
tion of what varieties to plant be
comes an important one There are
numerous factors to consider. but
from an economic point OF view. the
question of hardness, in a broad
sense should be the first to consider
In a strict sense of the term hardy
plant" is one that will live over winter
in the open. or one that will endure
low temperatures. but there are also
ance. drought endurance. and insect
repelling qualities that might well be
termed hardy traits.
Under favorable conditions with
successful crops these traits are us
ually lost sight of. and seldom are
given the consideration that they
should have. especially when the seed
is selected for planting.
There are many very important
points to consider in selecting varie-
ties to plant. such as market demands,
earliness. prolificness. and numerous
other qualities peculiar to the differ
ent crops. It is not. however. the pur-
pose of this article to outline list
of the best varieties to plant. but
rather to impress on the minds OF the
farmer what great opportunities he
sometimes has in the midst OF dismal
crop failures. to make little seed
selection from plants that have at
least partially survived the catastro-
phe that has caused the failure. From
this start in selection he may bring
success out of failure and avert an.
other failure for the future.
Numerous examples could be cited
where splendid varieties. hardy. and
OF great commercial value had very
small start from some observing man
who took pains to select. propagate.
and improve them. Some examples
are: The Grimm's alfalfa. the wilt-re.
sistant flax, disease resistant canta-
loupe and Concord grape.-Philo X
