ARK ANSAS VALLEY LEADS
The Local Cow Testing Association Is
Easily she State Leader for the
Year 1922.

The Arkansas Valley Cow Testing
Association, which is composed of
herds in Prowers county and eastern
Bent, is the Colorado leader in al
most all respects, according to the an
nual report just published by State
Dairy Commissioner Morton of the
Agricultural College.
That the conditions here are more
where else in the state is shown by
the report and it also shows that the
Helvetia company is paying better for
milk than other markets in the state.
Not only do the cows do better here
but the high price paid for the milk
without corresponding increase in
cost makes the profit far greater. The
average net profit per COW tested in
the state last year showed that the
Prowers county cows pay S20.46 per
head better than the next highest as
sociation, and 5000 better than the
next association. That means interest
on even the best registered stock.
The average pounds of milk per
COW was 9432 in Prowers county,
S475 at Johnstown, S165 in Boulder,
and 1923 at Fort Lupton. The aver
age butterfat record found Prowers
county second with 1896 pounds,
Boulder 1858, Johnstown 1881, Fort
Lupton 279.6. The average value of
product was sl74.O2 here, sl3O.29 at
Johnstown, S143.1S at Boulder, and
sl29.7S at Fort Lupton. The net re-
turns over feed cost was S114.89 for
local association, and s94.43 at Bould-
er, s7S.55 at Johnstown, 1888 at Fort
Lupton. The feed cost per hundred
pounds of milk was Csc here, SIC at
Boulder, Tic at Johnstown and re at
Fort Lupton.
The figures above speak for them
selves and leave no doubt in the minds
of any one that the Prowers county
section is the best place in the state
or the west for the dairymen. Here
the conditions are ideal in every re-
spect, and our farmers can make no
mistake in investing in good dairy
stock.

sl25,OOO Bond Issue Assured at The
Election Tuesday.

At the election Tuesday the Holly
Drainage District Bond Issue was vot-
ed for 50 out of 90 votes cast prac-
tically unanimous. There is great sat
isfaction over the outcome for a per
manent drainage means the highest
welfare Of Holly and the surrounding
country. That this has inspired new
hope into the hearts of business men
is evidence by the recent big transfer
of property. A company of Holly
financiers consisting Of L. NJ. Appel,
John Duncan. G w. Stevens, John
Schlager and W S. Partridge have
purchased from II. $. Rollins the
quarter section of land between the
Santa te track and the river. We
have not heard what the consideru-
tion is but it shows increased faith in
Holly.
There is rumor that the matter
Of a west road to Granada has been
revived and that already a survey has
been made for such a road beginning
~ ttA' HhkAA iaAANblg anu EblllE uAt
west to Granada over the flats that
will be drained by the new ditch. This
would necessitate new bridge over
the river and it is this expense that
makes the matter of this new stretch
of the Trail uncertain. Such a road
would lead directly from the heart of
Holly to the heart of Granada and
would cut six miles off the distance
between the two towns.
With the new ditch just a half mile
north of the new road it would open
up new extensive territory for farm
ing and settlement and add greatly
to the value Of the land. This would
also make the Santa Fe Trail still
more popular and give our people
shorter route to the county seat
Holly Chieftain.

it. The lodge is enthusiastically be-

NEW COUNTY CLERK
Board of Commissioners Make Tenn
pOrary Appointment of J. Rus
sell Mayfield as County
Clerk.

The board of county commissioners,
while in session on Tuesday, had un-
der consideration the appointment of
a county clerk and recorder to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death of
Mr.. John w. Prowers. The republi
can members OF the board, being well
informed as to the condition of the Of
flee, deemed it unwise to make per
manent appointment until such time
as an audit could be made by the
public examiner of the State of Colo
RADIO and an official report made to
them of the exact conditions existing.
In the interval, it likewise seemed ex-
pedient to make a temporary appoint
ment to the end that the business of
the office might be carried ON to The
greatest possible degree and the busi-
mess requirements of the office fully
met.
Having reached this decision, Mr..
J. Russell Mayfield was appointed as
county clerk and recorder, his resigna-
tion being placed in the hands of the
chairman of the board to be accepted
at their wish and pleasure and at such
a time as full knowledge of all mat
tanned. Mr.. Mayfield assumed charge
of the office on Wednesday afternoon
and designated Miss Vera Rosebrcugh
as deputy county clerk and recorder.
Mrs. John w. Prowers will be re-
tanned in the office in the capacity of
clerk at a salary equal to that of
the first deputy. The board feels that
this action on their part will meet
with the approval of the citizens of
the county, particularly those who are
well advised as to the present condi-
ton of the office and that no just
criticism can be made of their care
full and fair consideration of the prob
lens presented to them in the death
of Mr.. Prowers.
The public examiner has assured tie
board that an audit of the entire of
flee for the past two years will be
made just as soon as an auditor-ex-
aminer can reach Lamar, not later
than the fore part of the coming week.
Upon the completion of the report and
its acceptance by the state auditor the
same will be transmitted to the board
for its further consideration and final
action.
The semi-annual report of the coun-
ty treasurer for the six months end
ing December 3lst, 1922, was checked
by the board and found to be correct
in all details. This report will now
go to the county clerks office for the
purpose of the preparation by that of
: flee Of the semi-annual statement
covering the receipts and disburse-
ments OF the county for the same
period.
