Yearlings Bring Big Price

&. NJ. Bryan, who has one OF the
best improved stock farms in Curry
County, is reported to have sold one
hundr d head of extra high grade
coming two year old heifers for SIS
per head to outside buyers. This
sounds Ike a big price for yearlings
past but Mr.. Bryan's cattle are top

clean white faced, white name,
straight backs, heavy bone and near
ly all fat enough for beef.
Mr.. Bryan has barn room enough
that during all the nov covered

in his dry barn and fed heavy. This

pays well to have well bred stuff and
