HELP BEING SECURED
FOR BIG HARVEST

The labor situation for harvesting
crops in Rio Grande county is mater
tally improved. During the past
week thirty men have been placed
with farmers and more are coming
These men include homesteaders
from Eastern Colorado, farmers and
laborers from Oklahoma and Texas
and were secured by E. H. Thomas,
agricultural agent The men are the
best type of farm help and may be
depended upon as reliable.
Mr.. Thomas is doing good work in
encouraging farmers to come here
from other states and other parts of
Colorado, as in many cases those who
come here to work in the harvest
field are taking the best possible
means of finding out the kind of
farming country the San Luis valley
really is and the result will be new
resident farm owners.

MAMMOTH ROAD MEETING
AT ALAMOSA, AUGUST %

One of the most important moves
for the opening of the great scenic
and historical region embraced in
Southwestern Colorado was made
when San Luis valley, Walsenburg
and Durango delegates, through the
able assistance of the Pueblo Com
merce club, secured the adoption of
a favorable resolution at the sixth
annual convention of the National
Old Trails Highway association, held
at Pueblo Thursday and Friday Of
last week.
This resolution, as adopted, is:
In the matter of the suggested
adoption as an alternative summer
route the road leading from La Jun
ia thru Pueblo, thence south and
southwest to Gallup, New Mexico, via
Walsenburg, Alamosa, Monte Vista,
Durango and Pennington; and the
official extension asked for by Colo
rado Springs, we find that the claims
of these people to recognition has
merit from a scenic and historic
point of view, and we do
recommend that this organization,
through its duly constituted officers,
encourage the residents of these
communities to become members Of
this organization in good standing,
and that at such time as our national
officers and executive committee ap-
prove of their acceptance into full
fellowship and recognition, they be
authorized to do so"
The meaning of the above resolu-
tion is that, If the people living along
the route of the proposed alternate
road '(the Spanish Trail-Grand Can
on highway will join the National
Old Trails association and lend 1t all
their assistance toward its one sub
| ject-hard surfaced roads-the great
national highway, which begins at
| Washington, ID. c., and ends at Los
Angeles, Cal, will lend its aid to-
ward the building of fine roadway
through the San Luis and San Juan
valleys. Also, this alternate summer
road will be placed upon every road
map issued by the National Highway
association, and its interesting fea-
lures exploited for the benefit OF
thousands of auto tourists who will
follow good roads.
II Is the purpose of the national
