PROMINENT Albuquerque real es.
\ tate man gave a Herald reporter an
interview Friday in which he urged

the importance Of r~eviving the New
Mexico state fair in this city and rebuilding
1t on the basis of an annual statewide exposi-
ton and amusement event.
This matter has been discussed in a desul
tory way for several years since the state fair
was abandoned. No one has ever gone deeply
into the question, or sufficiently to determine
how much Of an investment in state exposition
equipment would be justified, and what the
institution, il reestablished and properly op-
Grated, would be worth to Albuquerque and to
the state, There is a very general belief that
it would be worth a great deal and that this
city is not only losing money and growth by
permitting the state fair to slip away, but, also,
that we are failing Of our duty to the state, as
its principal city and business center, in failing
to provide the exposition.
During the recent reorganization Of the
Chamber Of Commerce the members voting on
projects for the year, included among the ten
major proposals for the present year the pro
ject of r~eviving the state fair. 1t was not
among the first in the list Of ten but it had
enough votes to show a strong sentiment in its
favor.
The Chamber of Commerce could well afford
to conduct a careful survey Of local opinion to
determine just what sentiment favors the fair
project, and at the same time conduct an in.

According to the Wichita Beacon this is the
glad season of the political year when the
piffle-farmers are busily driving the cultivator
through the fields of poppyeock. "The blue
Jays and wild geese are warbling,n according
10 the Beacon, "the cockleburs are sprouting
in the meadows. The hollyhocks and the
poppycocks are growing. Let JOY be uncon.
fined" Evidently Kansas leads in that crop
too. There are advantages, after all, in living
in a semi-arid state. The piffle-farmers find
the soil unresponsive.

and industries are all owned by the collectIv-
ity; where each works for the other; where
each receives the same compensation tor
days work; where no member will accept
anything which any other member cannot
have on the same terms, if he desires it
in short, imagine a place where the golden
rule is the only law imposed upon the COM
munity, and you are picturing the Llano Co
operative Colony.
After eight years of work, Lano Colony is
rated in the commercial world as worth over
$25O,O00 But Llano's least asset is its COM
merciaI rating. The fullness of life, the Joy
of living, the satisfaction of working, the
security for the future. the healthy environ
ment, the opportunity for education, the at
lection of your fellowmen-these are priced
more. much more, than what the commercial
world calls success.
This colony now has something like thirty
industries. all collectively owned. Among
these are: apiary, auto garage, building de-
partment, brick-making plant, blacksmith
shop, butcher shop. broom factory, crate
making factory, chicken farm, dairy with
about 20 milking cows and herd of thoro-
bred Holstein heifers, goat ranch, hog ranch,
with several hundred Duroc-J Jersey hogs,
sweet-potato storage houses. dressmaking'
grist mill, handle lathes, hotel, hospital. Ii
brary, steam laundry. land clearing, fruit or
chards, print shop, peanut butter factory
magazine and weekly newspaper, picture
show and theater, wagon-making shop, can
DIV kitchen, shoe shop. harness shop, and
many other smaller concerns.
Then LIano's farms and gardens provide
the bulk of the living for the colonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes, SUI
gar cane, peanuts, corn, beans. peas, etc.,
while the gardens provide greens and gar
den truck for the table the year around.
The system of government is exceedingly
simple. Stock is sold in the corporation at
one dollar a share. and only stockholders
are employed by the Colony. An agreement
Of employment is entered into between the
Colony as an organization and each indiyid-
ual. Each member is employed at what
he best can do, or which needs most to be
done. A board of directors is selected each
wear BY the stockholders, which board in turn
The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-09-30

selects a general manager. He selects his
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors, in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object OF
Llano's industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs, rather than to make
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sibIe to the source of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing.
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make thing, hollow tile, ETC., for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens of the Colony have
provided the tables with most of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
of land, some of it of very fair character,
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. 1t intends to purchase
total of 10000 acres, because the colonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions, several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:30,
each colonist has an equal opportunity to
improve himself along many lines, such as
music. vocal training, languages, science,
agriculture, orchestra work, dancing, and
other diversions Many of these classes are
we'll attended, and all the colonists realize
the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge, A radical in poll
itics and conservative in everything else is
out of place in this community.
Llanos school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. The children are
