gave this commission this authority
was also drawn to include water traffic.

Live Stock Industry
I'm THE...
San Luis Valley
Edited BY Members Of Che .1lonte Obta
Hog Grs,Dsr, .4,soeioton.

In order to stimulate interest in the
live stock industry, particularly hog
raising, there Will be short articles de
voted to this subject each week. Farm
ers and stockmen, in fact anyone desir-
ing information along this line, are in
vlted to ask questions, which will be
answered through these columns.
Since the organization of the
Monte Vista Hog Growers associ-
alton, on Feb. 10th, 1913, it has
frequently been referred to as the
best paying proposition that ever
has been established in the San
Luis valley. While everyone is
perfectly satisfied that the associa-
ton has been responsible for
wonderful improvement in condi-
tions, it is quite probable that com
paratively few know just what it
has meant in dollars and cents.
For the benefit of those who are
unfamiliar with the exact condi-
tons, we have obtained the follow
ing figures from the record book
Of Chase q Bond:
During the months of February
and March, 1913, the above named
firm paid out S9,26S fl and 49,
522 % respectively, making Il total
of $3S, 100 65 for the two months.
During February and March, 1914,
they paid out $l5, 1871 and Sil,-
SS6 81, total of 1865 40. In
just one year from the beginning
of the work the increase for those
two months has been SIS, SAT-, or
4S.4 per cent. These figures do
not represent the whole valley, but
only the hogs shipped from Monte
Vista. There has been u CORES
ponding increase from Conjos coun-
ty, and in addition to that a great
many hogs have been shipped to
Denver by their owners.
With reasonable success the out
put of hogs will in few years
amount to quarter of million
dollars. just stop and consider
what this will mean to the fnan-
cial welfare of the community. If
We can make practically so per
cent increase in year, when con-
ditions to begin with were about
AS bad as they could possibly be,
is there any reason why we cannot
keep on increasing now that we
have the pestilence under controli
Again we wish to say that the
farmer who ID not a member of the
Monte Vista Hog Growers associ-
alton is not only a parasite upon
his neighbors who are, but is also
an outsider of the best organiza-
ton that has ever been estnb.
