ported last night that he had just re-
turned from an inspection tour OF the

COMING TO THE FRONT
Holly is Being Recognized As One
OF The Industrial Centers

A few years back Rocky Ford laid
claim to being the championship
agricultural city of the valley and
it's claims were undisputed but to-
day Holly is fast coming to the
front and is being recognized as
one of the industrial centers of the
state. Our people should take just
pride in the fact and put forth a
more earnest effort than ever to
help bring the community forward.
Our townsman, W. s. Partridge
was called to LaJunta the first of
the week to address meeting of
the Otero County Industrial
Association and Aell them just how
the change was being brought about
through this section. The meeting
was particularly interesed in what
Holly has been doing in the dairy
business and MIR. Partridge was
asked to outline at length the sue
cess attained from this industry.
Only few days ago party was
down from Rocky Ford to buy
some dairy stock but was sent
away disappointed for our farmers
have no stock for sale, to speak of,
and what is offered Mt sale is read
lily grabbed up by local dairymen.

settle that much anyway. As the
dirt, previously wetted, is placed
around the fine roots, it is very de
sirable that the earth is firmed
around the roots by hand in order
to assure of close contact: then a
shovelful or two of earth may be
thrown in and firmed into place.
Considerable care in this matter is
well worth while.
The young tree has been pruned
back, removing from twO-thirds to
three-fourths of the length of he
branches, or up to near strong
bud in order to balance the pruned
or reduced root system No bruised
roots should go into the ground: a
sharp knife should be used to cut
off the bruised roots. Finally the
roots must never be exposed to the
sun or air: they should be covered
with damp gunny-sack.'
