The Sargent Consolidated
Schools Great Community

One OF the great assets in this
productive farming district is tho
Sargent Consolidated Schools locat-
ed about eight miles northeast of
Monte Vista. These two large,
modern. well equipped school build
ings cost approximately two hun
dred thousand dollars. There 10
also a large cement garage to house
twelve motor busses that are used
to transport all pupils TO and from
school. Then there is an eleven room
teacherage. supcrintendents cottage
and . parsonage. The Sargent
School gives a complete course Of
grade. junior hiEh school and sem
Tor high school studies and fully
prepares It's students for college.
This school Is said To be the larg-
ct rural consolidated school In the
United StAtes. and In addition to
offering such splendid school sd-
vAntakes Tor the children In this
agricultural district. these buildings
have established u community GEN.

much. This would mean II you AZ
grower had 100 acres in potatoes
this year, then so acres should be
the size OF your field in 1925. And
then every grower should see that

out by the United States Depart
menr of Agriculture are promptly
and accurately filled out showing
this twenty percent reduction from
the 1924 crop.
Controlling the acreage planted.
and seeing that the Crop Inquiry
Reports are properly filled out ara
two things that the potato growers
should not neglect another year. be-
cause it will change the uncertainty
and worry of the potato venture, to
positive, successful business en-
terprise.
The potato growers OF the San
Luis valley should take the initia-
tive in advocating and planning
such a policy as this. and as every
grower in the United States now
fully realizes how costly overpro-
duction is to him. 1t is almost q
certainty that fullest cooperation
will be welcomed in this movement
! to improve the business principles
OF this industry. and make potatoes
n profitable crop to grow every
year.
] II has been demonstrated beyond
question of doubt that prices OF
potatoes will be low II Government
Crop Reports show that yields are
estimated above the average, so
why wouldn't 1t be good business
sense to cooperate with all other
shipping districts and intelligently
and systematically control tho
planting and raise Just enough to
supply the demand?
Monte Vista journal and Monte Vista graphic-reporter., 1924-09-12

In the year 1928 when the wheat
growers throughout the United
States were In such distress due to
overproduction and extremely un-
profitable prices, the United States
Government answered their appeal
for relief by saying-"There is
nothing the government can do. but
hereafter control the acreage to be
planted and do not overproduce.
And 1t is to the interest of every
potato grower that he Also heed
this advice, and so regulate the
planting of this crop that produc-
ton will not exceed the demand.
For Just so long as the monthly
Government Reports show that pro-
duction exceeds the previous aver
age annual yields, the prices of po-
tatoes will be affected and unprofit-
able prices paid the growers for
their crop.
The San Luis Valley is an ideal
potato producing district, and II
is not fair that this locality should
make great reductions in acreage
planted to potatoes, when other big
shipping districts continue pro
ducing the same number of ears
each season. But there should be
some way to figure these reductions
on a percentage basis. and that the
same percent of reduction apply to
every shipping district. As for in
stance. II after thoroughly analyz'
ing the production and shipping
problems of the potato crop from
every angle. II is the conclusion
OF those In charge Of this work. that
next year reduction OF 20 percent
must be made in the number of
cars to be shipped from every dis
trict. then the growers must in
dividually reduce their acreage this

Prosperity viii Come When the Farmers

On the editorial pages of the

find articles with headlines such

those writer's can be so completely

mental conditions that are the basis
Of prosperity or of duh times.

preaching an era of prosperity. Con-
sumers buying power-particular!y

and retailing. there Is, never a word
about the exhorbitant prices asked

EASILY UNDERSTOOD


England, France, and Italy, and
few other nations that are owing
Uncle Sam billions of dollars, fail to
understand why, since we have al
ways been such generous nation.
we can't mark the debt OFF our slate
and call it even. One reason is that
we bonded ourselves for this money
that we loaned them, so they could
carry on their end of the war, and
now we are raising that money in
the form of the stiffest taxes any ma
tion ever paid. If they would return
the money they owe us, or even pay
the interest on it, it would cut at
least one-fourth off of the taxes of
every man and woman in America,
and allow plenty for bonus for our
own soldiers. That's why we're not
foolish enough to wipe out a debt
that is just and honorable. Any
school child in Mountain Home can
understand why we are kicking
for the money that is due us, and
why we are going to make that
"lxick" a little more vigorous unless
they show an inclination pretty soon
to pay few installments that are
long past due.
