cording to DR.. John s. Hasty, chair
man of the Senate finance committee
and head of legislative joint COM
mittee which went to Pueblo and went
over much land and several farms, but
failed to locate any which had plenty
of water and sufficient pasturage for
the 200 milch cows needed to supply
the institution. 1.-THE need Of farm
is apparent" said DR.. Hasty. "The
hospital has more than 1,20O patients,
of whom 300 men are capable of work
ing on a farm and who would be far
better off for the work. More mental
detectives can be cured by exercise
in the open air. The expenditure Of
$4,000, or even more, for such pur-
pose would be real economy. 1t would
open the way to cure patients who,
thereafter, would be no burden upon
