than the amount Of eompensation they
already had received The amounts

the error. A survey Of soldier patients

termine what men afe totally per-

DICKINSON GOT so PER
CENT OF EN0LE HOLSTEiNS

Engle & sons Holstein sale on
March 2 attracted lage number, OF
Interested buyers from Dickinson and
surrounding counties. Ninety nIne
head were sold for S12,950, making
An average Of nttle over $3.50 per
head. This offering ranged In ages
from week old calves to mature cows,
over half OF which were under milk

near Abilene took 50 head. Lee Pray
and G. A. McClury Of wichita, kans.,
were the heaviest out of town buy

Dickinson county farmers deserve
credit for retaining such a liberal per
centage Of these choice dairy amin
ais. As labor, feed and market con
ditions gradually return to normal,
the popularity of the dairy cow Is
bound to increase. Engle & Sons
stlll maintain within their two herds
goodly number Of very high class
foundation animals. This sale af-
forded the last opportunity for some
time to buy ut public auction at the
buyers own price, cattle from these
herds. Their plan now on. to main
tain only strictly high class accred-
tied pure breds, under the supervision
OF the federal government. A num-
her Of other Dickinson county herds
are adopting the same plan, among
whom are Geo. Lenhert and ]. e.
lands of Abilene. This new feature
is an initiative step taken by the pure
bred men Of the county that is bound
to be a strong advertisement for the
dairy interests of Dickinson county.
