Lads Hereford Steer Wins
Three Prizes and Grand
Champion Stake.
BY JOE LOVE
NEA Service Writer

CHICAGO, Dec. IA record
~ never before equaled and which
Stockmen doubt will be tied was
made by Clarence Goecke, 12-year-
old farmer lad of Marshall county,
Iowa, when his entry Dick" a 10
monthS-old 1150-pound Hereford
steer, received three first prizes, be-
sides being chosen grand champion
at the International Livestock Elk
position, in progress here.
Quite a distinction, in addition,
is the fact that youngster came
away with the top prize in compe-
ton with breeders Of much long
er experience.
Being a All Club member Clar-
ence entered Dick in the junior
feeding contest and came off with
first prize in that division.
The second prize was awarded to
Goecke's animal as the champion
steer in the Hereford class. max
ing it eligible for entry in the
grand championship.
In open contest the animal won
the yearling prize, making a total
of three ribbons.
Clarence lives on a farm with
his parents near State Centre, Ia,
in Marshall county, which is fam
GUS for its fine calves.
He picked out Dick" from herd
of ten calves belonging TO his father
and raised it for exhibition pur-
poses.
Picked a Good One
In telling how he cared for it,
Clarence modeStly admits that if
the calf wasn't almost perfect at
first he couldn't have done much
with it.
This calf was a 'blocky' type, the
right kind to raise for shows, so l

Claypool Tuesday Most of the

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-12-08

"You know I really didn't think
that Dick would win more than one
prize at the most. But now look
what he did! He won four of them"
he says proudly.
Clarence believes that he will
take the money which he receives
for the steer and use it to help him
go through school.
He thinks that high school will
be his limit, because he is anxious to
raise young herd of his own.

says Clarence.
1T was fed whole milk until it
was 10 months old, and of course
always kept well bedded and
groomed."
Clarence himself took care of the
feeding.
Although he raised the animal,
Clarence allowed his sister Emma,
II years old, who has exhibited at
the stock shows for the last five
years. to show his entry.

WESTERN COTTON
MEETS FAVOR OF
CHICAGO BOARD

The Chicago Board of Trade the
old wheat pit" which ranks with
the New York Cotton Exchange and
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
in Importance as n clearing house
for cotton transactions in this
country, believes firmly in the de-
STABILITY of California and Arizo-
ma as cotton producing areas. Rob
crt Hays, secretary of the chamber
Cf commerce, has exhibited an ad-
yertiScmcnt which the Chicago
Board of Trade has been running
In the eastern financial papers, and
which lauds the western irrigated
valley as suited in high degree to
;lr growing of cotton. The text of
their advertisement, is as follows:
e \ surprising increase in cotton
acreage of the far western area was
shown in a recent government re
port.
Figures on the increase are:
Arizona, I3 per cent increase with
total area of 100000 acres in 1928.
California. 7l.j per cent increase
wlsh total area 223,000 acres III
l92S. Lower California, - per
cent increase with total area l60,-
Ota acres in 1928.
''Whilc these increases are calcu-
lated on comparatively small acre
:gcs for 1927. it should he rcmem-
harcd chat most of the land is un-
der irrigation and that the yield
per acre is far higher than in older
parts of The cotton belt. This
wears Weld of cotton for the far
western territory. therefore. should
show a much greater growth than
the percentages on increase in acre
age.
.'California and the other states
mentioned possess many advantage
in cotton production. They are free
from insect pests; they have irri.
gated land; they are not subject 10
the uncertainties of weather TO the
extent that he older states expert
tnce; and they have virgin land re-
curing no. fertilizer.
so the far southwest is Just be-
ginning to show the expansion n
production of cotton which its MAJ
ural advantages make inevitable. .
