pig and poultry club efforts of the
young people of San Miguel county,
is the opinion of H. w. Powell, coun-
ty club leader attached to the office
of the county agricultural agent.
Mr.. Powell stated that there are Is
members of the pig clubs in the coun-
~ and that all are enthusiastic in the
work. The boys buy their fine bred
stock from the county agent at cost,
and the banks encourage the enter
prise by lending money on the boys
paper for them six to II months.
Most OF the stock put in are regis.
ty agent was taking five of these to
members of the club on the Mora
road.
However the Penasco Blanco club
with ten members all Spanish boys,
favors the Poland China pigs, Mr..
Powell is to make several visits a
month to this club and a model pig
pen and house is to be erected at the
home of each boy member under his
direction.
The C~herryvale club has sever
members ranging in age from 10 to
Is years. One of these members last
December bought a pig and now has
seven little ones. He paid SIS for
the pig and each of the little ones is
said to be worth as much as the orig
inal one cost and the boys note for
his original purchase is not yet due.
Work has been started on the new
First National bank building and the
footings for the foundation are be-
ing Installed. The new structure will
be on the corner OF Douglas and 9TH,
parts of these streets being used for
the temporary structures now.-Las

Of Las Vegas, who was bound over
20 the grand jury IN a serious charge
preferred by Daisy Agnes Madole,

mand for the dismissal of the ac-
cused engineer from the service OF

The public sale of registered Here
ford cattle held at Las Vegas recent
ly by the Hereford Breeders asso-
citation was somewhat OF a discourage
ment to the consignors of blooded
stock. The heavy rains kept away
many buyers and as a consequence
bidding was low. Good, well marked
yearling bulls with strong blood lines
IN their pedigrees sold for as low as
$50 each with an average of not more
than S95 OF 500. Some two-year-olds
went as high as $500, but most of them
ran around $l40 to $3.50. The best
price paid for a bull was $40 by John
Hicks OF Cuervo, for Rogers Domino
V, from the Wilmington ranch at
La Cueva. This was a Beau Brum-
mel descendant a little over W years
old. Mr.. Hicks also bought the best
bull in the sale, Gen. Pershinp Par
dgon, from J. b. Yeakley of McAlIs-
ter, for $375.
Mr.. Yeakley showed one heifer, Sill
via Paragon, Waived Jan. 10, 1920, that
was considered by many experienced
Judges present as worthy of exhibition
IN national or even international stock
shows. She sold 10 ronly SOS.
