1 am a firm believer in the idea
that public courses should be in
creased in number, and the private
ones kept as reasonable in cost as
possible. This does not apply to
men, most of them past middle age,
who have founded clubs with limited
memberships in order to protect
their small leisure and allow them
to enjoy it in healthful exercise. 1t
is among them l have found the
most enthusiastic advocate Of the
public links and the public links
golfer. But the necessity of keeping
down expenses does apply with great
force to the ordinary country club,
founded to meet the needs OF
average players Of average incomes
1t is a tragedy when a man, loving
his game, Is forced to drop out of his
club because OF special assessments
for so-called improvements.

Dust Dangerous to Traffic and Costly
TO the Taxpayers.

In the past ten years there has been
a very marked change in the engineer
ing practice regarding road types.
Now the West has confronting them
the dust from dirt and gravel roads.
On the heaviest Travelled roads you
will find a forceful example of the
need of suitable dust layer, not only
for the comfort of the motorists but
as a prevention of accidents.
In the summer months when riding
through the mountains and main high
ways throughout the country, you will
find one continuous dust cloud and mo-
torists complain of narrow escapes
from serious accidents. This dust is
costing thousands of dollars to the tax
payers, not only in health and acci-
dents, but to crops and to the road it
self, as this dust is worn out binding
material which helped to hold the road
together Without this binding ma
terial your road soon forms pockets
and the surface starts to unravel and
rut under the rapidly moving auto
mobiles, together with the suction of
the tires.
In the East and central West prac-
tically all the leading cities, towns and
counties are treating this type of road
with refined asphaltic road oil, when
applied properly, will not only elimi-
nate the dust but will also reduce the
cost of maintenance, matter of con-
siderable Importance to both the road
commissioners and taxpayers.-Colo-

EARLY HISTORY OF
STOCK ASSOCIATION
Interesting Events of the Early His
tory of the Bent t-PrOwers Cat
tie and Horse Growers
Association.

tFrom Bent County Democracy
There are many things of historic
value in the records of this Associa-
tion. 1t was the first association of
stockmen formed in this valley and
it has been in continuous operation
for the past 53 years. Its original
purpose was to protect the cattlemen
against cattle thieves which were op-
Grating on big scale in this part
of the country in that day. At that
time Bent county comprised all ter
ritory east from Pueblo to the state
south, making ii vast empire in it
self. The organization was first
known as the Bent County Stock As
sociation and was composed entirely
of cattlemen. Later when Bent coun-
ty was divided up and horse raising
become permanent industry the
name was changed to the Bent-Prow-
ers Cattle and Horse Growers As
sociation.
The first meeting of the Associa-
tion was held at Las Animas tOld
TOWN. in March 1870, and was at
tended by practically all the cattle
men Of Bent county. The idea was
to form an association for the pro-
lection of the interests of the cattle
men, but about all that was done at
the first meeting was to elect ofric-
ers, as follows:
President Stephen 7. Jones.
Vice President-John w. Prowers.
Treasurer-Mark b. Price.
Secretary-R. VI. Moore.
Another meeting was held in April
1871, and the old officers reelected.
According to the secretary's records
"it seemed to be too soon for such
an organization and il was allowed
to expire for want of interest" These
old records of the association would
be of so much interest to the present
day inhabitants Of the valley that
we hope to publish more of them
from time to time. The following
extracts from the secretary's minute
book show the activities of the asso-
citation up to the year 1881 and will
give our readers the viewpoint and
intentions OF the organization:
In February, 1874, another meet
ing of Cattiemen was called for the
purpose of organization. At this
time "Mavoricking" and stealing cat
tie was INDUCED in to a very great
extent Some of hte largest cattle
raisers recommended a vigilance COM
mittee and trial by cattlemen and

COLORADO FEED CROPS
Growth of Livestock Industry Causes
Corresponding Increased Acre
age of Feed Crops.

Reports received by the State I'm
migration Department from various
sections of Colorado indicate that, un-
der favorable conditions, the acreage
of corn and forage crops grown in
1928 will be the largest in the history
OF the state. The acreage of such
crops actually planted will depend, of
course, upon weather conditions for
the next four months, but weather
conditions in Colorado generally are
favorable for the planting of spring
crops and much of the land to be
planted already has been broken.
The prospective increase in feed
crops is the result of two conditions.
In the first place very considerable
acreage of the land planted to winter
wheat last fall will be utilized for
corn and sorghums, for the reason that
much of the winter wheat did not come
up on account of continued dry wealth
er and some of that which did sprout
was killed by the drought. In the
second place, there has been a steady
increase in the number of livestock
tions of the state in the past twelve
months and larger production of feed
crops will be required to take care of
them.
There has been a very noticeable in
crease in number of hogs and dairy
cattle in eastern Colorado counties,
where corn and sorghums are grown
most extensively. This part of the
state also is the most important win
ter wheat area and large acreages
here where winter wheat has failed
because of dry weather will be utiliz-
ed for spring crops. 1t is expected
that there will be a considerable in
crease in acreage of spring wheat,
oats, rye and barley in this section,
but the principal increase will no
doubt be in corn and sorghums. The
price of corn now is relatively higher
than that of wheat and prices of hogs
and dairy products also are such as to
encourage increased production in
these lines.
The acreage of winter wheat grown
in Colorado has increased very rapidly
in the past four years, while the acre
age of corn has remained almost sta
tionary and there has been but little
change in sorghum acreage. This has
been due partly to the high cost Of
farm labor and partly to the high price
that prevailed for wheat during the
war and Immediately thereafter. Wheat
requires less labor to produce than
crops that must be cultivated and for
that reason it was grown extensively
when the cost of labor was high. Now
that labor cost is lower the farmer
is turning to crops that require more
labor to produce, which in the case of
Colorado are perhaps crops that are
better suited to the average Colorado
climate.

the penalty for stealing cattle was to
bed room over Prowers e. Hough's
store at West Las Animas. Cattle
raisers were present from New Mex
leo and from the Dry Cimarron; from
Las Animas county and from Kansas.
There was a great deal of discussion
about what was best to be done to
drive out of the country some of the
bad characters and break up the cat
tie stealing. However after holding
nightly meetings for nearly week it
was decided not to resort to any eX
traordinary measures but to try and
punish the offenders by legal means.
Large rewards were offered for the
conviction of guilty parties but with
out any very satisfactory results. A
few indictments were found but the
cases were continued from term to
term and finally dismissed. 1t SEEM
ed to be impossible to convict a per-
son of any crime here at that time.
At the meeting in February an organ
ization was effected and the following
named persons were elected officers

Annual meetings have been held
regularly since 1874. Officers elect
ed and the round-ups discussed and
agreed upon. This was about all of
the business transacted by the Asso-
citation. While there was considerable
illegal branding of calves done be-
tween the years 1874 and 1884, yet
there is no doubt there would have
been much more crookedness on the
range had there been no such or
ganization. Since 1879 during the
shipping season, the Association has
employed some expert brand man to
inspect all cattle shipped from sta
tions in this county, also to examine
hides of animals killed by cars and
those slaughtered by butchers, and to
look after the interests of the Asso-
citation generally as he might be di-
rected by the Executive Committee.
In 1881 it began to be apparent to
every man raising cattle in Bent
county that the Association was do
ing great deal of good but notwith-
standing the great efforts of the As
sociation to prevent il, more or less
illegitimate branding of calves and
stealing of cattle was carried on and
it was not until the spring of 1884
that the Association succeeded in
convicting any one. At the spring
term Of Court in that year eight per-
sons were sent to Canon City for
stealing cattle and horses; their SEN
tences ranging from three to eight
years. This sweeping conviction
struck terror into the hearts of cat
tie thieves and since then compare
tive peace reigns.
Only a few of the original mem
bers of the Association are still mem
bers, namely, A. d. Hudnall, P. G.
Scott, Luke Cahill, NJ. H. Murray,
Jas. Reed, all of this city, and John
Vroman and Henry Fosdick, of Fowl
er.
