Virgil Bolinger of McClave an
nounces en auction sale for the 4th
of October. 1t will be noted that his
herd is second to the high herd this
month. Mr.. NJ. H. Wadhams of Las
Animas will hold a dispersal sale of
his herd some time in October. His
herd is fourth highest this month. Both
of these herds are made up of very
good high grade Holsteins, all with as
sociation records. Any one wishing
proven cows will do well to attend
these sales
Most of the silos in the community
have been filled. The corn this year
was rich in grain, for the most part,
and will make excellent winter feed.
The breeders of registered Holsteins
in the community, numbering Ia or 10,
are contemplating the organization of
purebred breeders association for the
promotion of better breeding and feed
