Last year, the Estancia valley and
Southern Santa Fe county petitioned
the territorial government for $4,000
to aid the needy farmers who suffered
from the drouth. This year, the song
is different and demands are already
being made for men to gatner the
bountiful harvests, as the following
letter shows:
Stanley, N NJ, July 18, 1911.
Labor Bureau, Santa Fe, N. M.
Gentlemen:-Down in this part OF
the Estancia Valley we are very much
in need of help. Have had ten days
OF rain that have prevented work in
the fields, and the weeds are growing
to beat anything you ever saw. The
crop outlook is excellent only We must
have help to care for it as no one can
be got here. Can you direct men to
this part of the valley, either Mexi-,
cans or white men, just SO we can
clean and care for the beans, cane,
millet, and hay that will have to be
cut here this fall. Beans are bloom
ing. There will be about $4,000 acres
OF beans to care for here during the
next two mouths and any amount OF
feed. None of it must be allowed to
go to waste. Everybody is working
to the limit but we must have hands
to help with our harvest. I believe
there will be work for a thousand
hands here for several weeks if they
can come in time to save the crops
from the weeds.
l am, very truly,
NV. DUNNING.
