Any one honestly wishing to investigate
what the adobe soil will produce, and to ~ha,
extent, should pay n v.si; to the crop nov
being raised by Frank Passick, on VIM. +.
Johnson's ranch, Just north OF town across
the river lie has abou, twenty acres OF
wheat on adobe land broken this spring, that
for stand and length Of heads fairly discounts
anything we have seen. A visit to his place
will we'll repay the trouble taken, and will
certainly convince the most sccptical As to
the wonderful richness of the adobe soil when
rightly handled.

To the Editor of THE CHIEF.
Crops are looking very we'll though some
what backward, but promising better yield
in general than near Delta. The ranchmen
and stockmen are hay making, while a few
are harvesting.
One could hardly have thought that such
mountains.
A. L. Kirkbride has moved from Crystal
creek and settled at the foot OF q canon max
ing from Crystal, through which he and 9TH
ers are bringing water. This canon seems TO
be 4 clean cut through the hills similar to the
Black canon.
Messrs. Niles, Maher, Fluke and others
are busy providing fuel for winter use.
Mr.. Lemon, with her little boys, has as
fine crop AS Muddy or Clear Fork can show.
By the way, these ,treams are well named,
rs the condition Of the water in each shows.
Mr. Fluke is gathering up cattle for the
Gunnison market aud all are jubilant at the
prices.
On Smiths Fork there are indications of
many changes. Some have taken up ranches
on the ditch taken out toward North Fork.
Jerome Fluke is going east, having sold out
TO Morrow Brothers, who intend going into
the stock business. Reuben Fluke has sold
his ranch, intending to start soon to Tcnnes-
see.
On the North Fork things are assuming a
definite relation. Samuel Wade declares the
fruit future Of Delta county is real fact. He
has fine start of small fruit, some raspber-
ries having already grown over six feet this
season. lie showed some Siberian crabapplcs
as large as marbles, also several fine punches
of grapes. Mr.. Coburn has several fine
peach trees bearing fine peaches. Who can
beat thus.
Knowles is vivacious over his bear cubs,
which he will take to the Denver Exposition.
The crops in the valley are good, some Of
the finest 1 ever saw. Taking all things into
consideration they do not seem to think the
loss by high water as great as anticipated.
The mesa crops are no, good. Drum
mond made nearly a fai ilure. Roger, did not
get his crop IN A. early as he desired, and
will not have full crop. McGinty, Turner
and Milt. Frady have excellent crops.

Board of Agriculture, reported that
they had attended the last meeting in
Harrisburg. The report OF the Com
mittee ON he Experimental Farm was
Is pl,ressed by the friends Of the State
College, 1t was supposed because they
reported against locating the expert
mental station at the State College. On
motion Of Col. Etting committee was
appointed by the State Board to, draft
u statute against cutting trees by tele-
graph and other companies.
The question, "ShOuld manure be
haul ed and spread upon the snow, and
for " hat crop as a preference" was
discussed. Col. Etting said he would
open the discussion by stating that the
question had been under discussion at
the meeting OF the State Board, when
Col James Young, who owns several
! farms and " no himself IL a successful
tarIIrr, said be was n strong advocate
for spreading manure on the snow. Mr..
Harry ey said he hal AN acluainta nee
who had adopted rule of hauling out
and spreading the manure az fast as
made. Alexander Scott said he would
rather put 1t OF. the ground before it was
frozen. DR.. Darlington said he had
hauled out the manure at two different
| times and scattered it on the corn, and
it was not in the way in narrowing.
The following question were referred
"W hat straw is preferable for bedding,
and is it desirable to.cut into short
lengths? How does it absorb the mois-
ture?" to Isaac Evans, John Trimble
and DR.. Sleeper. "Should COW be
dried off Or should she be MIXED up to

made between hcifers with first calf
and the mature cow" to John Trim.

The Chicago Tribune says:
"There il nothing prohibitory about
the reduction of the number of saloons
In any community by one.half, If those
which remain are abundant to supply
the demands of the drinking classes
whenever the demand indicates that the
saloons are not numerous enough, the
opening of new drinking places may be
safely counted npOn. The drinking
classes cannot be injured because the
high license does not increase the price
of drinks. The saloon.keepers, AZ a
class, do not suffer, for those who re-
main in the business have larger sales
and greater profits under the high
license system. The distillers and
brewers secure an advantage In selling
to good customers at fair prices,
and avoiding al once risky sales and
the competition of cheap limitations.

when she discovered that instead OF
candy, it was a purse containg five $40
notes, $50 in all. She was struck dumb
with surprise and endevored to call
back the messengers but they had dis
appeared. 1t was afterwards learned
that the money was given by about
fifty friends as an expression of regard
for the PASTORS wife and 1t was highly
