lures of the lower Arkansas Valley
of Colorado is the Annual Dairy Day
celebration staged each spring by the
Holly Cow Club, n local organization
of enthusiastic Holstein breeders. The
management of the enterprise now has
well under way its preparations for
the Clubs Fourth Annual Show to be
given Thursday, April Sth. w. S.
Partridge, manager of the Arkansas
Valley Sugar Beet & Irrigated Land
Co., has been president of the Holly
Cow Club since its organization some
five years ago, and has been the guild
ing spirit in the promotion of these
annual Dairy Day shows and has been
indefatigable in his efforts to encour-
age and promote the propagation of
pure bred dairy cattle, and particular
ly the Holstein. 1t is encouraging to
note also that the land company of
which he is manager has very strong
ly endorsed and seconded his policies
in this direction.
The Dairy Day show has grown in
magnitude each year and the 1920
prizes for pure bred dairy cattle, draft
horses and poultry will approximate
close to 81 900, which clearly indicates
the enthusiasm and enterprise of the
lower valley dairy men as well as the
people of Holly in one of the chief
industries of eastern Colorado-dairy-
Il,
en- great tonic to the business and n
wonderful impetus to higher stand
ard of dairy cows and sires.
Besides the dairy cattle, horses and
chickens this year a genuine Ameri-
can buffalo will be on exhibition. This
is feature which will appeal to the
little folks, many of whom may never
have seen a specimen of the native
buffalo which in the early days roam
ed the plains of this section in great
numbers but have since become ex-
tinct.
Aside from the purely industrial side
of Dairy Day the social side of life
of both the dairymen and townspeo-
Pile has been provided for in the way
of amusements and entertainment.
This years social program will include
the engagement of Wonderly's band
and orchestra of La Junta for the day
and evening, Wertz & Whitten's Dra-
matte shows, including vaudeville and
high class music, which opens its sea-
son at Holly Dairy Day week
The Black and White ball, so NAM
ed to symbolic the Holstein COW, at
night, has come to be n great annual
social function of the east end of the
Centennial state and is fitting finale
for Dairy Day. The ball this year
will be held in the new Jones garage
1O0x120 feet, just completed at cost
of $4,000 and one of the finest auto
mobile garages in the state.
Heretofore the Holly Dairy Day
show proper has been confined for the
most part to the exhibition of pure
blood dairy cows and draft horses, but
has been augmented this year by the
addition of a. poultry show which is
being promoted by the Holly CONNER
cial Club. The high price of poultry
products the past few years has stimu-
lated interest in the poultry industry
in the Holly district and many have
gone in to pure bred poultry of var
ious breeds on a more than ordinary
magnitude for the average farm, while
still others have engaged in the game
on a commercial scale. The poultry
annex to the Dairy Day show, there
fore, promises an interesting and ex-
tensive exhibit of fine birds, including
a variety of breeds.
The show is being well advertised
and if the weather is favorable an
immense crowd is expected to attend.
The attendance will also include a
number of eminent men from out of
town, among whom are Joy Morton
of Chicago, one Of the directors Of the
Equitable Life Insurance. Co. and an
