and Wyoming, and Prof. d. W
Frear, who is stationed at Fort
Collins, and is state agent for Col
orado In this important work, will
assist Mr., Windsor in his work.
Judging from the enthusiasm
with which Prof. Workings adj
dress was received, there was not
one present who did not enter into
accord with the plans as laid down
by him.
Prof. Frear gave short talk on
the subject of this work as it has
been carried on elsewhere through
out the country, and the result in
every case was most pleasing and
profitable, and while the movement
is comparatively new, yet the San
Luis valley can congratulate itself
upon being chosen as one of the
sections for the beginning of this
work.
Other short talks were made by
Hon. Robert Breckenridge, and
James A. Kelly of Monte Vista,
Roy Shahan of Alamosa, j. D.
Stannard of the government recla
nation service, and Oscar Lord of
Mosca.
Each of the four counties in the
valley, Conejos, Costilla Rio
Grande and Saguache, are to pay
from $500 to 1915 each year, or a
total of 81 200 or 81, 800, and the
government will meet the counties
with like amount as salary and
expenses of the man in charge of
the field expert agricultural sta
ton.
Just before adjourning the meet
ing resolutions of thanks were
unanimously adopted in appre-
citation of the services of President
Newcomb for the manner of hand
ling the meeting, to Prof. Working
and associates for their part and to
the management of the San Luis
hotel for its excellent banquet and
courteous treatment.

Following the second course Mrs. Nina
