B. Opperman. "The next thing
is to make provision to build it.
We don't want to get things
piled up on US all at once. Our
assessed valuation is not going to

sequently if you were going to
place extra taxes on property it
will hurt the taxpayers. There
is no doubt that we will have to
have a sewer system, but we
must not work hardship upon
the people. Sewers may increase
the value on property, but that
will not help the present finan-
cial need for sewerage"
"Cesspools do not work,
points out Merton Goodeagle,
"a sewer system is therefore
desirable. It will add to the
value of land and greatly better
the sanitary condition of the
city. We must have a sewer
system by all means. l am
willing to do my share toward
getting it."
"The city needs sewer system

This improvement is very badly

"For two outstanding reasons
the town needs sewers" said A.
D. Rossman. "In the first place
the health of the city demands it
and in the second place it will
offer convenience to the town."

I'VE ought to have sewers"
said City Treasurer ]. W. Cook,
"but there is no need Of having
sewer unless we have water
enough to flush it. If we want
to keep up with progress we
ought to have progressive
methods. We must have water
works first and sewer afterwards.

SPECIAL DAIRY MEETING

A special dairy meeting will be held
in Tucumcari at 800 p. m. August 20.
Representatives will be present from
the Rock Island railroad and the A.
& M. college; also the Panhandle Dairy
Association. The meeting will be held
under the auspices of the Quay coun-
ty dairy association, and its object
will be to impress upon the farmers
in this vicinity the importance of buy
ing high grade Holstein and other
dairy cows. The speakers will explain
to the farmers present the plan by
which the banks will cooperate in ex-
tending credit to worthy farmers to-
wards purchasing these cows. A great
number Of these cows have already
been imported into the Panhandle and
Plains regions and with excellent sue
cess. The market for butterfat Is
never stronger and because of the ex-
ceedingly high price for food products
it is expected that it will remain so
for several years to come. In fact it
is the opinion of those in close touch
with the butter situation that the
~ Ilt lNaIl NOtISuiIItI Will HcNCI dButt
see cheap butter.
1t is stated by those who have stud
led conditions in this part Of Texas
that there is no region in the United
States offering greater opportunities
for dairying. Every farmer should
have three to five head of real good
dairy cows on his farm. This coun-
try raises an abundance of roughage
and food grains and because of climat-
ic conditions the cows are healthy and
produce n larger percentage Of but
terfat than in most regions of the
Southwest. With better grade of cows
we are assured that the butterfat pro-
duced in this region will be the equal
of that produced anywhere. 1t is the
plan Of the Quay County Dairy AS
ISOLATION to get up an order for one
or more carloads of Holstein dairy
cows for September and this order
will he placed through the local dairy
association. All cows purchased will
be bought by local representative who
will, however, be assisted in the pur-
chase by dairy experts from the A. &
NJ. College and the railroads who have
agreed to send their experts to the
northern dairy cattle markets and as
sist but all the money will be handled
by local parties.
At the meeting to be held here the
speakers will explain just how these
cows are purchased and just the char
acter of cooperation which is extend
ed by the railroads, the A. & NJ. col
lege and others interested. The meet
ing should prove to be n of the most
interesting instructive ever held and
all farmers are urgently requested to
be present. f. M.Yates.
