FEEDING IN PROPORTION TO PRODUCTION
Valuable Advice to Dairy Farmers Furnished by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture

The COW requires certain amount Of
feed to maintain her body. The amount
she receives above this maintenance ra-
ton goes either to meat or milk produc-
ton. The dairyman should feed SO that
the greatest possible amount of feed goes
to actual milk production. A few simple
rules are offered to this end:
Highly specialized COWS. which never
carry excessive fat and are persistent
mixers, being dry only month or SO.
should receive all they will consume.
With such COWS economy in feeding is
equivalent to liberal feeding. If the feed
required to maintain such a COW costs
S cents and the dairyman feeds her o
cents worth. she will return ne-half OF
the value to him in the form of milk; if
he feeds her is cents worth, she will
return two thirds in the same form.
With general purpose COWS. or those
which tend to oeefiness. the dairyman
must adjust his feed strictly to the milk
produced, or he will fiad his feed going
to form fat instead of milk. Cows of
this nature, the milk from which contains

SENATOR'S WILL INVOLVED
In Suit Filed Saturday In Pueblo Dis
trict Court

Pueblo papers of Sunday last contain
ed the following news of interest to our
readers:
"A case involving the will and estate
of the late Senator George W. Swink Of
Rocky Ford was filed in the district
of this county yesterday. 1t is the after
math of a suit trial in the district court
of Denver county in which the Congress

receive what roughage they will clean up
and / pound of grain for every 8 pounds
of milk produced. When the milk tests
about 5k per cent, the cow should receive
pound of grain for 4 pounds of milk.
Dry COWS should receive feed enough
to insure their being in good. thrifty milk
producing condition when they freshen.
Poor COWS drop weak, puny calves and
will not produce properly, as they have
to use part of the feed to build up the
body.
Cows of beefy nature should not be
fed enough to make them excessively fat
when dry, as the dairyman does not re-
ceive returns from such feed, and excess =
i've feshiness tends to steriIity. On the
other hand there is little danger Of over
feeding highly specialized dairy COWS
which are not dry for more than one
month to six weeks. as during this period
any flesh put on and not essential to
bodily vigor will be turned into milk when
they freshen.

VISIT THE CEDARS
canons of the Purgatoire Are Fine
Summer Resort

At an early hour yesterday morning
an auto party consisting of the direct
ors of the Otero County Agricultural
association and the La Junta Industrial
association, with business men from
each city. set out to explore the canons
of the Purgatoire, some thirty miles
south of this city, for the purpose of
ascertaining the accessibility and ad-
vantages to tourist parties of these
natural beauty spots, which for scenic
grandeur are said to rival anything to
be found in Colorado.
When The Cedars was reached it was
planned to divide the party and explore
several of the canons for the most de-
sirable camping grounds, and later it is
proposed to make the roads more pass
able and the trails will be marked to
show our people as well as tourists the
route to a most attractive vacation re-
sort near home.

MOOSE PICNIC
In This City Next Thursday VIII
Bring Big Crowd from Every
Lodge in Arkansas Valley

At meeting of the picnic COM
mittee held early this week fiual
arrangements were made for the
first annual picnic of Loyal Order
of Moose of the Arkansas Valley,
which will be held at the Rocky
Ford fair grounds on next Thurs
day, Aug. 10. Reports from the
several lodges of the valley say
that a bumper crowd may be ex-
pected from each town and it is
estim ated that fully 1000 people
will be in attendance at the picnic.
To provide for the Moose and
their friends from the lower val
ley towns a special train will be
run from Lamar, and il is expect
ed that at least 500 will avail
themselves of the opportunity.
According to arrangements
there will be a big basket dinner
at noon and everybody is invited
to take part in the festivities. AL.
tho the picuic will be given by
members of the Moose lodge, the
gates will be open and everybody
is invited to come out and enjoy
the day.
A monster parade is planned
for l 80 o'clock p. m, at which
time the line of march will be
thru the principal streets of Rocky
Ford. Floats and costumes will
be used in the parade and it is ex-
pected to be one of the big events
of the day.
Following the picnic dinner and
parade there will be athletic
events, games of all kinds and
different forms of music. One of
the principal features of the day
will be baseball game between
members of the four Moose
lodges.
The festivities of the day will
close with grand ball in Moose
hall in the evening. Special
music will be secured and the
dance will be one of the most
elaborate ever given in the valley.

NINETY DAY CAMPAIGN
Figured For the Las Animas Sugar
Factory

The recent survey of the valley made
by the agriculturalists of the American
Beet Sugar Company, under d. l..
Joehnck, shows according to unofficial
sources, an estimated tonnage in excess
of 235, 900 tons. This tonnage is amply
sufficient to give Rocky Ford 100 day
campaign and Las Animas about 80
days. While this announcement is not
official, and probably will not be, yet it
is fact beyond any reasonable doubt.
The only thing that could prevent it
would be wholesale calamity to the
beets, which is absolutely without
the range of probability, or even possi-
bility.
1t is expected that the Rocky Ford
factory will start some ten days ahead
of the local factory, in order to put
into shape to handle the molasses un-
der the Steffins process, of both factor
les, and give time to get the digging
and delivery of beets up to the require
ments of the two factories. All arrange
ments have been perfected for the start
ing of the local plant under Superin-
tendent Walter Kellogg. Mr.. Kellogg
has been here for the past ninety days
and has made up all acquisitions for
supplies, and has arranged for his entire
crew, preparatory to starting, work:
The heads of departments will be brot
from the Rocky Ford factory, with the
exception of Assistant Superintendent
Andrew Anderson, who has been resi-
dent here in charge of the plant during
its idleness. Las Animas Leader.

Rocky Ford company at once, and
so preparations have been made
for grand military rally in
Cheeks hall tonight, to which
every young man will be welcom-
ed whether he has had an oppor-
tunity to sign the enlistment roll
or not.
As the governor will be with us
upon this auspicious occasion,
plans are being arranged to give
our honored executive fitting re-
ception.
VIII Camp at Fowler
Military maneuvers will be en-
gagged in by the Arkansas Valley
companies of the Colorado nation
al guard at North Fowler during
the week of Sept. 1922. The
captains of the companies already
organized are busiiy engaged ar
ranging the details of the drill,
which will be in the form Of a
school of military instruction such
as was held at Pole Mountain,
Wyo., three years ago.
The military camp will be laid
out in regulation streets and the
numerous tents pitched upon the
rolling prairie will present pic
turesque feature and one which
the soldier boys believe will prove
a drawing card for visitors from
the towns in the valley.
A federal inspector will be
present to ascertain whether the
companies are coming up to the
regulation requirements. A num-
ber of boys between the ages of
16 and IS will be permitted to
join in the event to gain as much
! military instruction as possible.

GRAND MILITARY
RALLY TONIGHT
Will Usher in Our Company
of National Guards
GOVERNOR HAS ACCEPTED
ROCKY FORD COMPANY Y
And With His Staff VIII Be Here to
Give Citizen SoIdiery Fitting
Send-Off

Cheeks hall this evening, at Whlcn
Governor Carlson and his staff
will be present and muster in Il
company of infantry, is the out
come of the enthusiasm aroused
at the meeting last Friday even
ing.
Because of his prior engage
ment for similar purpose at
Canon City the governor was un-
able to be present at last weeks
meeting, but Col. F. d. Bartlett,
chief recruiting officer for the
state, explained to the goodly as
semblage of citizens the necessity
for aud benefits that will arize
from a stronger national guard.
In substance the speaker said;
"Whatever may be his views as
to the futility of war, the patriotic
and sensible citizen willnot be con-
tent with llonger remaining weak,
helpless and nationally inefficient.
| may believe that 1 am dis
charging my patriotic duty by ex-
pressing hopes that there be no
war, or decrying its butchery. or
proving its futility, or in telling
how sweet and ideal is peace, but
the time has come when the word
man, the useless critic, must be
relegated to the background and
the man of action brought to the
forefront.
Many may be unwilling to deny
themselves the comforts of the
downy pillow, the chase of the
almighty dollar or the pleasure of
the midnight banquet, but our
state and country need the young
man who is willing to sacrifice
and give of his time an hour or
two week in training and prepar-
alton.
The national guard today stands
as the greatest appeal and uplift
to young manhood in our country.
Out of this organization must
come the protection for the nation,
the state and the home.'''
Following the colonel came sew
eral local speakers, who all heart
lily favored the opportunity afford
ed this city of securing an infan-
try company. As expressing our
sentiments w. b. Goblin, chair
man of the meeting, said:
''The American people hate to
be scared, We hate to think we
are unprepared for any emergency.
We should therefore prepare the
citizen soldiery so as to be ready
if any emergency should arise and
in preparing that citizen soldiery
we are making better citizens OF
our young men,"
1t was unanimously resolved
that petition should be circula-
ted praying the governor to give
Rocky Ford company of nation
al guards. Immediately after the
meeting Col. Bartlett got busy
with the paper, to such good pur-
pose that he was able to.wire Gov.
Carlson on Monday that he had
secured the signatures of 60 who
would be available for military
service, and in answer thereto the
governor sent word of his accept
ance of the Rocky Ford company
and hoped that the membership
might be increased to rs by the
time it was mustered in, which
hope will likely be realized as
names of young men who will be
eligible for service are daily being
added.
That equipment may be secured
and arrangements made to take
