The laying of the gas inniiiH in
Tulia is almost finished tho workmen
stnto thnt with fair weather
they will be ready to leave by the
last of this week The city of
Tnlla has a network of lines which
cover practically all of the city
where there are homes or business
buildings and many parts
where there are neither at present
but will in tho future need
this service
As far as Tnlla is concerned
gas may bo turned into the mains
after this week but it is understood
that a small amount of the
big main is still unfinished somewhere
between Happy and Tulia
but this yill probably be finished
this week
It Is very probable that instead
of having gas by tho first of October
as promised by tho gas company
we will have It by the 10th
of September
Many homes and business houses
will have the gas connections
in the course of a few weeks Who
will be the first Please report
to this office
It Is understood that the West
Texas Gas Company will extend
the present lines as soon as they
can get established in Tulia So
if you do not have available lines
to your place do not become discouraged
as they will take caro
of all reasonable extensions

Reaping Results Of ijj
Circle1
Floaeev Bull
The Influence of tho successful
Swisher County Hull Circles the i
first in West Texas like tho rip
plots of a pebble thrown into a
placid pond has gone on and on
touring the many rural shores
and leaving in its wake a new
vision of prosperity wrought thru
the cooperation of high producing
milk cows When the first
circle established in 1023 there
wero few highproducing cows in
the county few registered bulls
niul tho poultry and dairy products
did not exceed 150000 per year
now there are above GO dairy herds
in the county each with a pure
to the bankers and othors who
started the importation of fine
dairy cattle to Swisher county
which has made it famous as a
home of the best that money can
buyThe
The pioneer circle which consists
of 10 bulls was achieved by
County Agent P C Dennett Now
Potter County Agent with the
assistance of D T Simons field
man for the Texas Jersey Cattle

The Bulls wero purchased from
S A Guy of tho Caprock Jersey
Farm at Crosbyton Six of the
Bulls are sons of imported Mas
termnn of Oakland that sold for
25000 two of them sons of imported
Combination Premier and
two the sons of Cids Handsome
Raleighs On the dams side
there are such dams as Damsel
of Marigold Raleighs China Cup
Oxford Carrie Raleighs Velvet
Rose and Beautiful Vesta all of
them being from register merit
dams They have been offered
10000 each for two of the bulls
and refused an offer of 2200 for
another Some of the bulls were
awarded blue ribbons and the Trl
State fair at Amarlllo on three
successive occasions This circle
was composed of 10 men V L

Graham Henry Jones and W A
Hancock
There has been about 100 high
class registered cows and 50 excellent
bulls brought into the
county since the starting of the
pioneer bull circle The bulls
nre registered and good enough
to go to any breeders herd but
are behig largely used by dairy
farmers who are breeding up
dairy cows Throe more hull circles
have also boon formed all
of equal pedigreed stock and five
bulls to each circle
Some of the calves uo > v being
dropped from grade rows and
these circle bulls nre n revolution
and a living example of what a
high class sire will do Ilowover
a number of the circle members
have since purchased registered
cows and have sold on tho Idea
of raising pure bred jerseys Swisher
county today is recognized as
tho jersey center of this section
of the country
To forestall any common stumbling
blocks that might impede the
development of increased high
production the Swisher county Bull
Circle drew up an ironclad contract
and ono that will stand up
in court which provides that bull
calves dropped to tho service of i
those purebred sires unless thoy
