The Future For Fruit.

People OF the hrkansas valley who
have been afraid that the fruit industry
would be oyerdone are invited to notice
two little facts. OEe is that although
the fruit crops hereabouts was twice as
large in the past year as ever before, ap-
pies shipped nil the way from New York
nre now being sold in Pueblo, and there
were recently apples here from Oregon
The second point is that California is
now shipping fifty carloads OF oranges
to the east every day, and the crop viii
amount to at least 10000 carloads. Yei
apples, which are not perishable freight
arc much better commodity for the
grower.-Pueblo Chieftain.

About FARMERS, Institutes.

Tho Rocky Ford Enterprise OF last
week states that "this is the proper time
| of wear to hold Farmers institute al
Rocky Ford" Not ut nll. Las Anlinna
is by right of priority entitled to the m
stitute this year, is making preparation
for n meeting on Feb. and 3, ana
should receive the cooperation OF otero
farmers Rocky Ford wants the earth
md will have to be satisfied with very
small wheelbarrow load.-La Junta
Tribune.
Our position is that Farmers lnsti-
tntes should not attempt to cover SO
much territory. The Las Animas lnsti-
tute to be held today and tomorrow Is
all right for Bent county, but us meet
inc for the benefit of three counties 1t
will be fnilure. Farmers can not aud
will not go long distances to attend such
institutes. IT is probable that the only
Otero comfy farmers who will be ut Las
Animas will be those who nre on the
program for addresses. Farmers Instl-
tutes must be made county affairs to do
the good designed. The Enterprise sug-
restcd that un institute be held hero be-
cause OF its central location and because
the papers III no other town were agitat-
ing the matter. II the papers OF La
Junta will take some steps for an insti-
tute to be held there, we will aid them.
Catlin ditto. Rocky Ford don't want
any more OF the earth than it is entitled
to, but if no other town wants to enter
tain Farmers Institute-and one
should be held in Otero county-the
good cause shall not lack for place OF
meeting. The Ford will always welcome
such gatherings, even il our enterprise
does subject us to the charge OF grab
bing for everything in sight.
Fairmount Farmers Talk Creamery.
From the La Junta Tribune we make
the following extracts from the proceed
ings OF the Fairmonnt meeting to discuss
the starting of n cooperative creamery:
Chas Boxwell said he had sold milk to
a creamery, and that it paid the farmer
better than any other way OF marketing
crops.
j. n. Bovee had sold milk to cream
cry. The milk averaged from ~ 70 ov
cents per 100 pounds, and he knew thnt
his folks made more money in this than
III any other way on the farm.
G. II. Allen had sold milk to the Rocky
Ford skimnling station and was conti-
dent that the average was about os cents
per 100 pounds Of milk. He favored
marketing farm products in the shape Of
milk, believing it would pay.
Chas. Boxwel did not think that co
operative creamery would be successful:
Eight farmers promised the milk OF
1O5 cowa should creamery be started.
The universal opinion was that the
sale of milk to creamery was one ot tho
farmer's most money-niakinS operations.
Such meetings should tend to increase
the number OF farmers selling milk TO tho
Rocky Ford creamery.
II tho Fairmount farmers do not slc-
ceed in starting the cooperative creamery
they could arrange to have all the milk
of that region brought by one person to
Rocky Ford.

Every prairie farmer ought to make
an effort this spring to beautfy his
home by the planting of trees and
shrubs. 1t costs very little to plant a
few trees, and the cost is more than
made up by the increased value given
to the farm. "A beautiful grove on a
place. is source of enjoyment to
young and old. It makes home more
cheerful and home like. It not only
beauties the landscape, but serves as
protection against storms in winter
and the heat in summer. It has re-
fining and elevating influence on the
community, and lifts the soul to a
greater appreciation of the beautiful
in nature.
