MONTE VISTA DAY is
CONSIDERED A SUCCESS

Monte Vista Day" has been pro,
nounced a success as a general
cleanup day. Marked improvement
in neatness and order has been at
tanned In many places. where with
set aside for the purpose, this
would be neglected.
Mayor Kavalec says he is greatly
pleased with the results obtained,
and believes that the cleanup was
fairly general except, perhaps for
a few vacant lots which the cit,
will look after later. Wednesday
morning the wagons We're out
gathering up the trash, which show
ed wide assortment of useless
articles that had accumulated dur
ing the year.
A majority of the stores closed.
though a few kept their doors open
as usual. Some of those who did
close consider the half holiday
rather expensive in the loss of bust
ness, II is reported. The men of the
store forces utilized the time by
cleaning up the premises about
their place of business, for the most
part, while some of them put in the
time at their home premises, put
f{nu wards and a In prtor aud
experimenting the burning of the
leaves and other trash. Many of
the business men donned the work
mans garb and enjoyed half holi-
day in the sunshine. A walk about
town revealed evidences OF cleaning
up already accomplished before the
day set. lawns beautifully clean,
and little stacks OF litter all ready
for the wagons. The few sparse
blades of grass on the Central school
grounds were almost raked out roots
and all by the willing school boys,
while the county superintendent
showed a willing mind by gathering
! minute twigs from the grounds
Secretary Vaile. of the Commercial
Club. said he did not know what
others were doing, as he was too
busy at his own home. though he
saw smoke OF several bonfires near
his place. and draws the conclusion
that the neighborhood was pretty
well cleaned up.
Though the work was accomplish
ed quietly without parades and
demonstrations AS are held In some
places. II appears to have been
done thoroughly. and the city Will
be more orderly. cleaner. more
wholesome and better town In
which TO live as a result of the ef-
fort.

PLANS BEING LAID FOR BUILDING PAVILION
FOR STOCK SHOW AT STAMPEDE GROUNDS

There will be a home for
the H. o. G. Stock Show, and
this for the 1923 event; at
least that was the sense of the
H. o. G.. executive committee
which met in the County
Agents office last Saturday,
with representative stockmen
from over the valley and all
strong for a permanent home
for the Stock Show. The
method agreed upon for fin
ancing the show barns is, that
interested parties will be ask
ed to buy life-memberships in
the show at 500 each, said
memberships emitting the
holder and all members of his
family to free admission into
the grounds during the show.
Work on securing members
will not be started until
August or September of this
year.
1t has really become
physical impossibility to 60
ahead housing livestock in
tents as heretofore been done;
and financially, it is bad busi-
ness as the total cost connect
ed with the tents at the last
show held figured well up to
100000, and the tents were
only rented at that. That 5000
is all dead money and the
same thing has been taking
place for several years, enough
money paid out to make a
nice first payment on a per-
manent structure. There is no
thought in the minds of the
committee, or anyone else for
that matter. as to the future
of this show, as we know it is
here to stay, and will become
bigger and better each year
of its existence. Therefore, we
must prepare accordingly.
The name of the show was
voted. at the above meeting.
to read: The San Luis Valley
II. o. G.. Stock Show at
Monte Vista; and the home
of the show is to be located
on the city property east
of town and upon which
the Stampede Committee now
have a long time lease.
There will be another meet
ing of the II. O. G. Executive
Committee on Saturday. June
10. at 900 p. m. in the County
Agents offices, Monte Vista.
1t is hoped every member Of
this committee will be pres
ent at this meeting as At that
time definite plans for the
buildings will be decided upon.
From indications Last fall,
we may have a visitation OF
grass hoppers here in this

From indications last fall,
we may have a visitation Of
grass hoppers here in this
county the coming season: at
least we should keep this in
mind and be on the outlook
Monte Vista journal and Monte Vista graphic-reporter., 1922-05-19

for these pests. Of course,
a few hoppers here and there
mean nothing; we expect t.
find certain amount of them
need them for fish-bait. But
when they begin to, come in
numbers sufficient to injure
vegetation, then it is time t.
get busy.
The Agricultural college is
mixing up a bait which con-
sists of Paris green and certain
other ingredients, at $1.25 per
gallon. To this gallon of bait
must be added 2 gallons Of
molasses or syrup, 100 pounds
of bran and sufficient water to
make it mix well. This amount
will be sufficient ordinarily
to cover Is to 20 acres of
ground.
Now, should conditions JUS
tify, a little later on this Of
flee will keep a few cans Of
this bait on hand, as it is
cheaper to the user than buy
ing all of the ingredients un-
mixed. We will be very CRATE
full to anyone noticing these
pests coming in rather alarm
ing numbers, if he will report
his findings to this office. The
hcppers usually start in small
areas and if taken in time can
generally be handled without
much trouble. And with the
above bait, the mixture can be
prepared at minimum of ex-
pense.
