For Hog Cholera

Reports from different sections Of
the county are to the effect that a
form OF cholera IL killing of number
OF good hogs. A remedy for this was
discovered by Mrs. W. N. Dennis and
telephoned to the New Era for publi-
cation. Mrs. Dennis has great faith
fn 1t Her hogs seemed to be In pret.
ty bad shape with the disease, seemed
feverish and wanted to drink frequent.
ly and had no appetite. Sweet spirits
of nitre In doses Of teaspoonful for
pigs and two teaspOonfuls for the
larger hogs was given in their food
with the result that big change was
noticed 10 few hours, and the fol-
lowing day all Of them had the normal
hog appetite. This information is CIV
en- gratis by Mrs. Dennis iD the hope
Fthat farmers who kave the same
trouble ip their stys will be benefited
by it. The remedy Is simple enough
For the pigs only few weeks old the
nitre was given In their milk and for
the older hogs was put In milk that
was fed to them. The same results
may possibly be attained by putting
the medicine in the swill.

Some Figures In Comparison

Ordway, or Crowley county. Ten
years ago we were not county and
Ordway was little more than wide
place In the road. The district Grow.
ley county, is about fifteen miles long
and no more than four miles wide In
its widest place. This district takes
iu the country from Olney Springs to
Sugar City,. Just in recent years has
its water system been at all adequate,
1t has land that will grow anything
and do good job OF 1t, and this land
sells from 500 an acre up. 1t is not
known by its cantaloupes, nor by any
other one thing, but 1t is becoming a
factor In the commercial world mighty
fast. Seven years ago one of the COM
mission firms now doing business In
this district made its first shipment
OF the pink meats. The business OF
this firm has grown with each succeed

Health Board Busy

"Clean up these towns or we will
do 1t for you and the state will charge
the expense up to you"
The above Is the ultimatum deliv-
cred last week by the state health
board to the south side OF the valley,
particularly the towns OF Rocky, Ford,
Swiuk and La Junta. The order came
as result Of few cases Of smallpox
at Rocky Ford, according to the Swink
Advocate, the sugar making campaign
bringing hundreds OF workmen into
the three towns with the result that
many OF them are crowded Into uu.
sanitary quarters.
In addition to the clean up order
the board OF health has ordered that
all school children be vaccinated and
this work is going on at present.
DIR. J. W. Morgan, representing the
state board after spending few days
in the three towns. gave out the above
orders and appointed DR.. Barbour OF
Rocky Ford to see that they are
Obeyed.
The Advocate contained the follow.
ing short and pithy Interview with
Dr. Morgan last week:
"You may announce that the state
board OF health declares that sewers
are always the first consideration from
u sanitary and health standpoint and
Swink should install them at once.
"Our next campaign throughout
the state, to be taken up soon, will be
to screen the dry closets. Our orders
will be obeyed or we will take string
ent measures to see that they are"
1t will be noticed that towns on the
north side OF the river are not touched
by this ultimatum. There are lots OF
things we can do to improve the sani-
tary conditions on this side, but we
are working on them as hard as we
can-and this without the state board
OF health saying that we have to at.
tend to them ut once.

Interest Gaining
In Selection Of a
Name for Cants
Appointment of Committee By
Chamber Of Commerce
Puts Proposition on
Working Basis

BY the appointment OF a committee
to look after the work the local
Chamber OF Commerce has definitely
started the campaign for the adoption
OF uniform label to be used on every
crate of the pink meat cantaloupes
shipped out OF Crowley county. Let
it be understood in the beginning
that except for the section which em-
braces the whole Of Crowley county
there will be no sectiOnalism In this
move. 1t Is recognized that the needs
OF the industry demand that uni
form name be adopted, placed on
suitable label and copyrighted for the
protection of all the growers alike.
Several suggestions have been made
which shows the people are becoming
interested. and the committee desires
that anyone 10 the county who has
suggestion to make for the name or
label either send it or bring 1t In.
| The local Chamber Of Commerce
has taken the initiative In this move
because OF the enormous proportions
to which the cantaloupe industry has
grown; because its members believe
! that better results may be obtained
for the county as a whole, and because
the contamination OF such a move
means so much to all the people OF
the county alike.
The committee appointed to take
l,,h NJ ha xpprk pf SeninU the
growers and shippers and holding
meetings for the final adoption of a
name and label Is composed OF f. A,
Townsend. chairman. Ira B. Coy and
lE. M. Sypher. Either' Of rs.tse gentle
men will be glad TO answer any guess
tions asked them and receive sugges-
tinns for suitable name. The mem
bers OF the committee appeal to the
entire people OF the county for CO.
operation and assistance.
II is suggested that the name which
Is finally adopted should be one that
will not only ieentify the melon with
Crowley county-the particular and
only section OF the entire country in
which IT. can be raised In all its per-
fecti0n-but one that should Identity
Crowley county with the melon! In
other words, both the melon and the
section in which 1t is grown should be
so closely internamed that one will
not be complete without the other.
The melon can't be grown successful.
ly any place else; Its general attrac-
tiveness Is becoming more and more
widely known, and you, whether you
be grower. business man or just plain
citizen Of the county are interested in
the county getting all the advertising
IL can out of that fact.
Let your interest resolve itself into
labor for the cause.
