Respectfully,
Will S. Allen,

If our inquirer wants to know
how the country is progressing
he wants to keep a line on the
great fair to be held here this
fall, and of course that means to
keep his eye on the Herald.
Baca county this year has the
best all-round prospects for a
crop it probably has ever had at
this time in the year, both un-
der irrigation and dry farming.
Probably the population dur
ing the past three years has in
creased by one.fourth, or one
half. Land sales for two years
have been very slow over the en-
tire west.
Am sending you some extra
copies with this issue.
