The Glenwood post., 1917-02-03

week was q pronounced success and re-
fleets great credit upon those who had
the affair in charge. The judge de-
clared that it is common for many
towns of much larger population to put
on shows that do not come up to the
New Castle effort. They certainly have
great bunch Of fanciers down there.
From many of the country districts
the report reaches us that the deer,
emboldened by the deep snow and the
scarcity of feed, are invading the stack
yards of the farmers and helping them
selves to the alfalfa hay which now
brings a good price. We are not sure,
but we may have a bill against the
game warden for feeding some Of his
pets.
Mr.. Alfred wants our farmers to
know more about silo construction and
the value of ensilage as stock feed
and he therefore invites you to RifIe
next Saturday to a silo demonstration.
Frank Squer long since demonstrated
the value of this feed for cattle and
it is proposed to visit the Squier ranch
and see how the bossies enjoy the
canned corn.

The booths for the community well
fare conference We're installed in the
Dougan block Tuesday by Elmore Pet
erson of Pueblo who has been doing
this work for the university for some
time. He understands every detail of
the work, and after putting everything
in good shape he went to Aspen to as
sist Mr.. Gilman in some work up there.
The conference is now on in Glenwood
and our people should make every ef-
fort possible to attend all the sessions.
This conference should prove of untold
value to our people.

The fact that Garfield county stock
men were liberal purchasers of thor
oughbred cattle at the big stock show
at Denver last week is sign of better
conditions in the live stock business.
We are fast realizing that it is not
the scrubs that make the money, but
that the best is none too good for our
Colorado ranges. 1t is false economy
to stock range with inferior stuff and
We are fast finding that out. There
will be some fine specimens on our
ranges this year, better than ever be-
fore, so it is claimed.
