WISON TALKS
AT KANSAS CITY
Tells Them About Hertford Cattle
tad Why They Bring
Top Pricee
The Kansas City Doily Drovers'
Journal has the following;
" Keeping up high quality in cat*
tie, is the aim of all Teaae cattle
misers." remarked J. H. Wilson of
Hereford, Tex. Mr. Wilson em-
phasised bis words as he made this
remark. "Texas produces not only
more cattle than any other state, or
perhaps a half dozen ofher states,
but we are producing cattle of the
very highest quality. My own
neighborhood has furnished an illus-
tration this week. Jeff Thompson,
my neighbor, had on the Kansas
City market this week, 300 kead of
yearling steers good enough to bring
$5.25. The fact that they all sold
at one price, is sufficient to show
what they were. Then I came along
with 300 head of about the same
kind and age which brought $5.00.
"We use registered bulls entirely,
and the cows are high grade stock.
This way of breeding cattle has been
kept up for years, in fact so long
that you could not find a brindle or
gray hair in all the herds in that
country. They are the pure blood-
red, with the clear white marks of
the Hereford breed added. Then
they have the fine form of body and
head, making them uniform both in
color and general appearance.
Whenever a poor grade of bulls is
used, and a low grade of cows, the
quality of the breed becomes poor.
But there is no danger of that among
the cattle breeders of the plains of
of Texas."
Miss Carter Acknowledges Receipt
of Brand Preseht.
Dimmitt, Tex., Nov. 17, '09.
Dear Mr. Elliott, Editor the Brand :
Allow me to express my apprecia-
tion and thank the Brand for the
beautiful brooch and pin that I re-
ceived at the close of last week's
contest. I want to assure you that
I am very proud of it. I am doing
my best for Castro County and ex-
pect to win if possible.
Enclosed find 7400 votes, tickets,
etc., that I send in for this week.
Respectfully,
Jennie Carter
The Brand is glad to be able to
present to Miss Carter and the other
young* ladies in the contest these
weekly tokens of appreciation for
their good work in helping to extend
the circulation of the paper. At the
close, some of these young ladies
will be made happy by receiving the
beautifui diamond set watch, solid
gold diamond ring, the solid gold
necklace and chain, the mandolin,
and the other three prizes; eight
prizes in all, to the young lady
workers.
In addition to these the subscrib-
ers will receive presents to the
amount of several hundred dollars.
Let the good work go on.

t will convince you. Last year we sold 1,250,000
trees of Delicious alone and could have sold another

do not buy a variety at that rate unless there's a rea-
son. And there is one—send for the booklet.

you could ask, it will answer, and the answer will be
correct—not a guess. Every variety in all classes is
fully described, strong and weak points are pointed

each variety is a key indicating the section of the
country where experience has proven that variety
will succeed.

mation on methods of planting, fertilization, cover
crops, planting and care of trees, suggestions for
■praying, pruning, etc., etc. Over 150 illustrations
from actual photographs are within its pages.

Have You
Planted Stark Delicious?
If not make it the first and biggest item on your
next order—you'll never regret it. Delicious is the
most wonderful apple known to horticulture for
quality, keeping qualities and selling value. This year
at the sale of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers'
Ass'n (Washington) Delicious brought $3.00 per
box f. o. b. there (thepresent market value isS 4.00),
while Spitzenburg brought only $2.50, Winesap
$2.25, Jonathan $1.90, Black Ben $1.75, (now $2.00
—selling with Jonathan), Baldwin $1.15, Ben Davis
$1.40, Gano$1.50, etc.
Luther Burbnnk, Wizard of Horticulture, say •: "De-
licioua it a Sera, the finest apple in all the worlJ. It it
the be t in quality of any apple I have to l r tested"—
and Luther Burbank knows.
Delieioua Brings $2^000 Per Acre
100 seven year old Stark Delicious apple trees in the
Railey Orchard, Chelan Co., Washington, earned
$2,000 for their owner Inst year and when prices were
low—or an average of &20 per tree for one season's crop.
Delicious is today making more profits—big
profits, for the long-headed, far-sighted orchardists
who have planted it than any other variety. Write

Stark Early Elberta Peach
One of the good things you can not afford to
overlook. It is winning golden opinions from
experienced fruit men the country over. Better
quality than Elberta and ripens ten days to two
weeks earlier, reaching -the markets when all other
good peaches are scarcc and thus commanding high
prices. A great shipping peach, surpassing Elberta.
1 believe Early Elberta is one of the best varieties
introduced sincc the first Elberta came. In Early
Elberta one has all of the good qualities of Elberta. and
the additional feature ol early ripening. When this ia
taken into consideration, and when it is planted along
with the original Elberta. much of the strain and con-
gestion which cotnrt with peach harvrtt will be greatly
reduced. The shipping sea on will be lengthened.
—E. H. Favor, Ast't Horticulturist, Davit Co., Utah.
Having tested its shipping and keeping qualities
thoroughly, without doubt it "Is the most valuable ad-
dition to the commercial peach list intrinluced in rcccnt
years; an excellent shipper and as a keeper it has no
rival.—L. Marsh, Hurt. Inspector, Davis Co., Utah.

Other Western VjlEiSliSi
The success of an orchard is dependent upon the
judgment displayed in the selection of varieties—
the profit paying kind. And profit in fruit growing
means quality. Quality ana color are the two
things that the great fruit consuming public pay
their money for. That's certain—you can't deny it.
Increase your orchard profits—do it by planting
the splendid tested special sorts of Stark Trees. Begin
now—don't wait until next season. Plant now
and be that much nearer a big profit paying crop
than you would be by waiting 6 months or a year.
Here is a brief list of varieties highly adapted
to western conditions—the kind that will make a
model orchard which will yield profitable returns.

Young Couple Wed.
Wednesday, November 10, 1909,
Mr. George Bascom Hughes and
Miss Mattie Boydston, were married
at Dimmitt by Hon. Judge Barber.
Mr. Jake Boydston and Miss Ada
Boydston brother and sister of the
bride accompanied them.
The bride was handsomely attired
in a gown of blue silk made princess
style. The groom wore the conven-
tional black.
The bride is the second daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Boydston and
one of the most estimable young
ladies of Parrott.
The groom is a noble young man
of exemplary habits and we bespeak
for both a life of happiness and pros-
perity. We are glad to learn that
they are not going to leave our
neighborhood, as they are going to
live for the present at the home of
the bride and take charge of the
ranch and stock while Mr. and Mrs.
Boydston and family are taking a
pleasure and hunting trip through
the south expecting to be gone six
months or a year.
Wishing the newly married couple
joy, happiness and success in life we
leave them to travel the road of sun-
shine and sadness that many other
have trod before.
