There is world of suggestion n
those few words and it is right along
the idea of building up the stock in
d stry in the San Juan.
Certainly we have the conditions in
this section for the development Of
high grade stock It is true that 1t

grade stock just rs many other sec
tons are. tt requires time and capi-
tel 70 build un the stock industry lust

favorable conditions here and we feel
tlat the San Juan farmer viii in the
near future surprise even himself
along these lines.
