DEATHS

Mrs. Jens Peterson died last
Friday, Oct, l6, at her home west
of Monte Vista. Death was caused
by pneumonia. The funeral WAS
delayed until Monday afternoon
waiting to hear from relatives in
California. Services were held at
Woods Undertaking parlors, con-
Quoted by Rev. Kerry.
Mrs. Peterson has lived here
since 1897, at which time she and
her husband moved to Monte Wis
ia from Iowa. She was born in
Norway and was 60 years of age.
Besides her husband she leaves
two sisters and one brother to
mourn her death. Il h ess
reside in the west and north
west. Mrs. Peterson will be sad
ly missed in the little home where
the two resided and among her
circle of close friends, for she had
endeared herself to many by her
faithfulness and lovely character.
Mrs. Barney Allen died Monday,
Oct. -, at the home of her daugh-
ter in Portland, Oregon
Mrs. Allen was one of Monte
Vista's first settlers, having come
here in the very early eighties.
before the town had earned place
on the map. At that time she WAS
the wife of Mr.. Harder. After Mr..
Harder's death she married Barney
Allen, who was mining man we'll
known to the earlier settlers. About
two years ago Mrs. Allen moved to
Portland TO reside with her dauph-
ter, Mrs. Grace Sewer. Death
was caused by cancer of the
stomach. Funeral services and
interment we're had at Portland.

One hundred and sixty acres of good
corn land in Iowa, Indiana or Illinois
that will produce for the owner gross
income of "a, 900 year will sell at from
$50 to $3.50 an acre, and the only reason
that the good land in the Monte Vista
irrigated district can be purchased for
one-half the price Of the corn land is be-
cause the land holdings in this locality
are too large. Our good land properly
farmed should give the farmer gross re-
turns of from $4,000 to $4,000 for the
crops from l60 acres, and the opportuni-
ties for profit that this productive soil
offers to home seekers and land buyers,
simply on account Of our big farms, are
unequaled in any other developed agr-
cultural section Of the United States.
The farmers of the Monte Vista dis.
trict, realizing the magnitude OF the hog
industry, have organized the Monte
Vista Hog Growers Association, with a
paid-up membership of 236. This organ
ization employs p. G. Guyselman. ID. V.
NJ, veterinarian, who devotes his entire
time in the prevention OF disease from
the herds and seeidg that every hog
raiser and hog feeder keeps his premises
clean.

Our Hog Industry Growing

1t is conservatively estimated that this
season there will be more than twice as
many hogs shipped from this same dis
trict as were shipped last season and
that the total amount to be paid to our
farmers will exceed the enormous sum OF
100000. This growing and profitable
industry, added to our enormous yields
of potatoes, immense wheat crop, large
hay tonnage, splendid yields OF oats,
acres and acres of garden vegetables, and
the lamb and cattle feeding, surely en-
thuses every resident of this locality over
our wonderful resources, and emphasizes
again the great possibilities Of this much
favored agricultural district after our
rural population is increased and we
have farmer residing on every 100
acres.

of the west where the hog can be profit
ably grown and finished for the markets,
owing to the fact that the producing
and finishing crops, such as peas or corn,
can only be raised IN very few agricul-
tural districts of the west
The San LUIS valley is the most favored
agricultural district of the entire Rocky
Mountain region for the raising and fat
tening of hogs, because of the healthful
climate; continual sunshine: dry weather;
good markets; splendid fields of alfalfa,
and the unusual productiveness of the
field pea crop. Field peas cannot be
successfully and protitably grown in any
locality where the altitude is less than
1000 feet, for in the lower attitudes the
vines mould and decay when they fall to
the ground. The pea crop is to the San
LUIS valley farmer the same as the corn
crop is to the eastern farmer, and this
enormous yielding field crop fattens and
finishes the hog for the markets, produc-
ing the very highest quality of meat and
with a small expense for the grower and
feeder.
Owing to all the favorable conditions
for the hog business which exist in this
valley, from the ideal climate down to the

Farrow conferred with Jesse Wi

the matter of publication and it is
assumed that this accounts for
part of the pressure" brought di-

Graphic for the publication,

ing an acre of corn.
Alfalfa produces wonderful growth
and furnishes the best pasture for graz
ing swine, and from 10 to % head can be
grown per acre on this crop; it being as
sumed that the pasture will be divided
into small pastures and a system of rota-
tion followed so that each pasture will
have a period of rest, during which it
will be irrigated and the new growth
take place.

others in search OF new farm homes may
know of the magnitude Of the bog indus

farmers of this district during the period
from November LIST, 1913, to August 4,

ers the sum Of Sl63967 for these hogs
and that in addition to Chase & Bonds
purchases, other shipments OF hogs from
the Monte Vista district will make the
total receipts from the sale of hogs
amount to more than 100000 during the

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 1z.-Cornell
will make strong bid for it's share
of the, annual intercollegiate, the
greatest track and field meets which
have been a monopoly of Pennsylvania
and Harvard as hosts on account of
the accommodations. This is due to
the progress being made in the cree

The field will be open for varsity
athletics next spring by the Cornell
track team. The football games of
1915 will be staged here. The new
stadium is to be of concrete and will
be constructed along the most mod
ern lines. The runnin gtrack will be
quarter of a mile, with a straight
away on both sides, insuring not only
a fine runway for the 22O-yard and

lent starting and finishing course for

nit, marks the pathetic ending of a
baseball career that extends over &c

was one of the freaks of baseball. He

The European Conflict and the Unique
Position OF the Southern States

in the warehouses and barns in 1915
and 1916. Appeals to the federal
government to buy the stored raw
material are little more than a con-
fession of unwillingncss to undertake
the fundamental readjustments that
alone will take care of the future as
we'll as the immediate situation.
The unique position of the South
demands that temporary readjustments
must be in the direction of the great
est possible future development. In
other words, no eXpedient will be OF
benefit unless it removes the real
point of weakness in the industrial
situation in which the South has been
covered itself.
Fortunately there is permanent ma
chinery to accomplish these perma;:-
ent establishments without delay. The
business men of the South in the past
decade have perfected organizations
in every city capable of efficient CO.
operative work. The planters and
farmers through a strong union have
proven that they can act collectively.
The South has learned better than
other sections how to work with fed
eral agricultural betterment agencies.
The tasks of crop diversification
and food production, of fitting fac
tories to new demands and of extend
ing Southern trade in South Africa
and the Occident, are not only ripe
for undertaking but the machinery to
push them is here.
The situation is only discouraging
as long as it is permitted to remain
unchanged This available machinery
and some practical suggestions by
business men for it's use will be dis
cussed in later articles.

Gen. Wood eve should require i'm

Where would we get them? This IS
a matter of vital Importance and one
which should be attended to at once
and not in the hurry, rush and confu-

Zone thing is certain-absolutely
certain-and that is that we must
have an adequate reserve if we are to
consider ourselves in any way prepar-
ed for possible war. Our mobile
army within the limits of the United
States, while efficient, is so small that
it only amounts to per cent of the
force which would be necessary to-
call to the colors in the early stages
of a war>with first class power. The
militia could probably furnish 10 per

70 per cent to be made up of men

cial resources crushed by the force
of the enemy. 1t is impossible for
an auxiliary force to be built up over
night. The days when every man
was a dead shot have passed. The
jewellers in the cities have to be
taught to stand the fatigue of forced
marches and to work as units and
not as individuals. In other words,
the first time the United States finds
herself face to face with big foreign
power, she will discover that the COM
pulsory military service which she has
SO long scorned will be the only
thing to save her in the future
In this respect it is interesting to
