COLORADO ASKS
AID FROM DUST
DENVER. Colo.. March 23.—<JPh
Alarmed at the growing list of
“dust pneumonia'’ victlma after this
week's “black blizzard.'’ officials of
Baca county, in the southeast cor
ner of the state, waited Saturday
for help from the Red Cross ana
the Colorado board of health.
Six were dead at Springfield and
Lamar, Colo.; a hundred were
reported seriously ill and the once
thriving farming diatrict was des
olate Saturday, ha If-buried under
the silt heaped up by the freak
storms.
An appeal for Red Cross workers
to be sent at once to the afflicted
area was dispatched to the Red
Cross headquarters at St. Louis by
E S. Transue. a disaster-r ef
agent of the organization.
To determine whether the dust
was the actual cause o4 the six
deaths or only a contributory fac
tor. the state board of health was
making an investigation.
As reported here, the list of dead
includes Mary Sloan, 19. and Charles
W. Winters. 38. both of Springfield;
Mrs. E. F. Duvall, 31. and Ora Man
ley, 17, both of Lamar; James M.
Martin. 75. of UtleyMUe. and Dale
Waterman, infant of Elder.
Baca county health authorities
reported more than 100 persons ser
iously ill from lung Infection as
sertedly brought on by the dust
storms. In some sections, the dust
was six feet deep and livestock on
many ranches has perished.
Gov. E C. Johnson telephoned
Springfield physicians Friday night,
after learning the seriousness of the
situation, to offer equipment and
nurses to help care for the sick.

Growers of the Rio Grande Valley
have an opportunity for cashing in on
what promises to be an exceptionally
good early tomato market if they will
hasten the maturity of their crop
through the use of a good, standard
fertilizer.
The experience of years in the Valley
has shown that it is the early tomatoes
that bring the best price on the mar
ket. In view of the fact that the mar
kets are crying for tomatoes at this
time and the Valley crop is retarded
growers can harvest big dividends on
a comparatively small investment in
fertilizer.

Ammo-Phos High Analysis Fertiliser
Now Is the time to fertilize to briny
plants to life, enabling them to put on
a sturdy growth capable of support
ing a heavier yield.
Not only is more fruit set by the prop
erly fertilized plants but tomatoes are
heavier, and have better carrying
qualities. Plants, because they are
sturdier, become more resistant to
disease.
But the big argument in favor of fer
tilizer is the fact that it will enable the
grower to market his crop when the
best prices prevail. The grower who
fertilizes will have an advantage over
his neighbor who does not make this
investment.
