Now Pull For
a Packing Plant

There was representative gather
ing at the board of trade rooms last
night.
There were farmers from the Flo
rida mesa, the Allison country, Monte
yuma and San Juan county, New Mex
lxo, along with a number of local
business and professional men.
The question discussed was pack
ing plant and the possibilities connect
ed herewith
The discussion covered wide
range. First Charley Griffith of the
Florida gave an interesting veriew oi
his experience in raising hogs and
the money there is in 1t for the farm
ers. In answer to questions much
valuable information as to feed and
method of taking care of hogs was
brought out.
And this brought out the possible
ties of the future. 1t was shown by
statistics that Durango and Silverton
send out at least a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars annually for pork and
hog products and every dollar should
be kept among the farmers of this
southwest section.
The raising of peas and their fat
tening qualities were gone over. II
was shown that peas are a great fer
tilizer. That run down land which
does not produce half a crop of wheat
viii make fine showing when sown
to peas and that after year or two
Of peas the land will be enriched to
such an extent that big yield OF
wheat can be relied upon. In this con
nection Edgar Buchanan gave an in
teresting talk which should be needed
by every farmer in the county, and
The Herald will endeavor to have him
prepare an article for publication.
Naturally the question arose about
the supply In case packing plant
Is built. 1t was the consensus OF
opinion among the farmers present
that II Durango provided a stable mar
ket there will be no lack of supply
The great trouble at the present time
II that farmers can glut the market
with a dozen hogs any time, but with
plant taking everything offered on a
fixed market price governed by es
tablished outside markets, there will
be some incentive TO engage more ex.
tensiveiy In the business.
Many others took part In the dis
cussion, among them Mr.. Geo. W. Mel
Vile. r. F. Sloan, T. C. Graden. who
northern part of the state, Mr.. Soens.
Mr.. Buck of Allison, Dr. McEwen.
Frank Edredge, l.. c. Jakway, and
others whose names we cannot recall.
AS this meeting was called solely
for discussion of packing plant no
other matters were taken up. The
Herald Is informed that five or six
men have promised to furnish the
necessary money for the enterprise
and that this industry is sure go.

be a creamery.
And then sugar beet factory. The
Herald is confident there will be no
tagging when the time comes to get
to the front with a proposition to

Lewis C. Greenlee, superintendent
of the Denver public schools, holds
that he had a right to issue n permit
to boys aged 1877 years, to work in
the chemical works instead of attend
ing school under the compulsory edu-
cation act. He interprets the law dif.
ferently from the bureau of child and
that he can issue a permit to a child
OF years OF age without violating
the act. The bureau of child and
animal protection, however. declares
that under the law no person in the
state, not even the governor, has the
authority to issue such permit to a
child under IA years old. This is
the law quoted by the bureau In an
swer to Superintendent Greenlee:
Every parent, guardian. or other per-
son having charge OF any child be-
tween the age OF and 16 years, shall
send such child to public. private or
parochial school for the entire school
year during which the schools are In
session In such districts. Provided
however. that the act shall not apply
TO children over IA years of age where
such child shall have completed the
eighth grade, or may be eligible to
enter any high school In such district,
or where Its help is necessary for Its
own or Its parents support. or where,
fcr good cause shown, 1t would be FOR
the best interests OF such child to be
from the provisions of this
lct."
