season was over. Then the grain
raised in Moore county followed
in trucks.
Last year the Daddies decided it
was time TO do something about
this. They organized the M core
County Feeders, Inc, issued stock
of 81 par value and soon had en-
ough capital to build a $l35,OOO
feedlot with capacity for 5000 head
of cattle. This allows turnover
of 10000 to $4,000 cattle a year.
Officers of the corporation are
farmers or ranchers and veterin-
arian. An experienced feeder from
Nebraska was hired to run the
Ieedlot All this took place within
few weeks after the Dumas Dadd-
les first toured feedlots to learn
how they could create a market
at home for their milo and silage,
and keep stockers right in the
county while they are growing into
beef.
Elevator. Hotel. Homes and Loans
The Ding Dong Daddies cut their
eyeteeth on organizing community
projects in 1947 when they set up
the Dumas Coop grain elevator.
Starting with a tiny ironclad build
ing of $1,000 bushei capacity, the
Coop now has facilities for stor-
ing 1,75O.0O0 bushels of locally pro-
duced grain.

and in 1862, Dumas celebrated the
opening OF a modern, 4-story, loo
