The Estancia news. [volume] (Estancia, Torrance County, N.M.) 1904-1912, 1909-04-23

AS jolly a bunch Of boosters as
ever hit the pike, came into Es-
tancia last Tuesday soon after
noon, when the Albuquerque
Business Mems Trade Excursion
arrived. Although the boosters
had been preceded several hours
by what DR.. Lukens termed 9
gentle zephyr and owing to a
mishap at Belen the train arriv-
ed several hours behind the sche-
dule time, a large number of Es-
tancians and people from the
surrounding neighborhood was
on hand to extend a welcome to
the visitors. Had the Boosters
not been so enthusiastic when
they first struck the valley and
sent ahead their gentle zephyr
the crowd would have been much
larger.
After greetings at the train, q
procession was formed headed
by the Boys Band and the march
over town begun, Advertising
matter of all kinds was distri-
buted, the booklet on Albuquer
que distributed by DR.. Tight Of
the University Of New Mexico
being especially fine, replete with
illustrations Of the city, its build
ings and places Of interest.
The Boys Band did itself proud,
the program presented being
varied and of the very best. The
compliments extended the boys
on their splendid work were
numerous, and if Mr.. Learnard,s
head did not swell before he got
out of town, the only reason was
that it had already reached the
limit. The Boys are a creditnot
only to the Learnard & Linde-
man Music Store, but to the city
of Albuquerque, William Mcln
tosh patron saint of the boys,
and every business man in Albu-
querque. One Of the boosters
remarked that he had seen boys
go wild over a band but had
never before experienced any
thing like he saw here when
men, women and children tool
after the boys. Everybody for
got how old they we're and felt
young agan, enjoying the fuA

everything kept for sale here
and when needing anything not
found in the local stores TO come
to the metropolis of the territory
where could be found everything
needed during life from an in
fants dress to the wedding tros
seau, and on to the coffin and
burial outfit. Hearty cheers were
given the Estancia people, The
Estancia ladies and the Estancia
babies, by the Band Boys, fol
lowed by cheers for the Boostels
and the Band Boys by the Is
tancians.
The one thing which seemed to
impress the Boosters the most
concerning the valley was the
advancement and progress seen
or every side. AS the journey
continued northward, acontinual
exclamation of surprise was
sounded by the boosters at the
amount of land in cultivation and
now being seeded to crops. At
the request of DR.. Lukens, the
News editor accompanied the
Boosters as far north as Mortar
ty, and was kept busy answering
questions concerning the valley.
A number of the Boosters had.
secured samples of potatoes the
kind that will make the Estancia

Spray the Fruit Trees.

Now Is the time of year for the fruit
growers of Missouri to spray their
peach and apple trees If they would
check the San Jose scale which has
been doing thousands of dollars dam
age to orchards. Prof. f. p. Taylor
Of Mountain Grove, entomOlogist for
the Missouri experimental station,
says that every orchard owner should
spray his trees whether he has dis
covered the deadly San Jose scale or
not. "The people of Missouri and
Kansas have no idea how much dam
age and loss to the state San Jose
scale Is causing every year." he said.
while the scale has been found in
Missouri for several years 1t is now
more widespread than ever. In many
counties 1t has not yet made It's way,
but in at least 25 counties in Mis-.
souri,, in every section of the state, 1t
Is greatly injuring the apple and peach
orchards. We are checking the spread
of the scale very effectively by edu-
eating the fruit growers in the econ.
omy of spraying their trees" This is
the solution that Professor Taylor
urges the fruit growers of Missouri
and Kansas to use on their trees:
Lime, Is pounds; sulphur, Ii pounds.
Boil this in SO pounds of water for
three.quarters of an hour. Use gen.
erously on every tree whether it is af.
fected with the scale or not. This
spray Is cheap and effective.

Matrimonial Lid 10 or.

The matrimonial lid is of at the
Confederate Soldiers Home Of Mis-.
souri,. Capt. j. r. Walton, superinten.
dent Of the home, said that those who
live in the institution may all get
married II they want to, so far as he
is concerned. When G.. v. Simpson, a
young Lochinvar of ~, and Mrs. Kate
Yates, a widow in the sos, both liv-
ing in the home, planned to marry
three weeks ago.. Gov. Hadley, the
board Of managers and Captain Wal.
ton all said 1t would not do and that
the plans must be abandoned. The in.
timation was that those living in the
home who married would have to
leave the institution and provide for
their families themselves. So Mr..
Simpson and Mrs. Yates apparently
gave up the idea. But five nights az
ter the date first set for the wedding
the impetuous couple stole out of the
home at night and eloped to Corder,
a town five miles away. Like the
stern guardians in most romances the
governor. the board and the superin.
tendent all relented and allowed the
clippers to remain in the home. That
started things. Other veterans began
to complain that Daniel j. Cupid was
no respecter of gray hairs and to ar
que that it is not good for man to live
alone. And now there are rumors of
several other weddings at home, but
Captain Walton only says: go ahead.
II it will make you any happier you
may all get married."
