Chautauqua People

At Monday Luncheon

An unusually interesting session
Of the business men OF the town was
held at the FouQuet restaurant on
Monday when luncheon was served
to about seventy-five. Clarence
Hooker was chairman OF the meeting
and he took advantage OF the pres
ence of the Chautauqua people be-
ing in town and invited them In to
luncheon and turned the entertain
ment over to them.
Mrs. Taylor z. Marshall. noted
clubwoman and lecturer who spoke
at the Chautauqua Monday spoke
before the luncheon assembly on the
problems Of child labor and educa-
ton. She stated that communities
like Monte Vista were far above the
average In education OF their chill
dren.

extremely profitable crop.

extremely profitable crop.
MIR. Gramm stated that the do
cision OF his company to locate .
factory In Monte Vista came after
four years Of investigation OF gov
ernment and state statistics after
which 1t was decided the San Luis
Valley was the best place In Colo
RADIO for such factory. The quality
of high altitude vegetables was
taken into consideration. The fertile
soil of the Monte Vista district was
considered the best in the valley and
and In the state for the raising of
pany formerly operated in Wiscon-
sin but the continued farming OF
these vegetable crops for as long as
twenty years in some instances has
made their further growing un-
profitable and of n quality far below
those raised in the San Luis valley.
Rotation OF crops has become neces-
sary in Wisconsin garden districts
hence the factories are forced to
move and build plants in the midst
of new fields.
Mr.. Gramm stated the company
considers II possible to make then
plant In the San Luis valley equal
to the Smithville, Utah. plant which
is now the largest In the world.
The company will use the cream
cry and storage plant for the max
ing and packing of butter and for
cold storage OF dairy products and
eggs and will be the first unit to bs
put Into operation.
Judge g. N. Barkley. director Of
finances OF the company will arriv~
In Monte Vista Monday and will
take over that part of the work.
Judge" Barkley holds his judicial
title by reason of his having served
two terms As u federal Judge IL
Kentucky and Illinois.
