The Pueblo Chieftain in an edi-
torial on Immigration for the Val
tey," in last Thursdays issue, says:
at was a wise man who suggested
the reorganization at this time of
an association for the purpose of
inducing immigration into the Ar
kansas Valley and it was splen-
didly representative meeting that
gathered at La Junta for the pur-
pose OF making systematic efforts
OF this kind. No section OF the
state offers greater or more varied
inducements to the farmer than the
Arkansas valley. Lands are not
too high. The nature of the soil
is such that almost anything can
be raised. The launching OF the
beet sugar industry gives new
field for agricultural skill and the
extraction of profit from the soil.
We need thousands more settlers. -
