Another Good Tomato Crop.

]. NJ. Baker, three miles south OF town
has found tomatoes a very profitable
crop to raise. He this year raised 5h
acres from which he sold IS tons to the
canning factory and hauled two tons to
Pueblo. Quite quantity were also sold
in small way. Income from the 81
acres was over 1925. Turning of crops
Of about 300 per acre is what makes the
Rocky Ford country grow.

OF fWnOleSAl6 houses Wnlcn impose on
them seeds not true to name. The ques-
ton of seed is so important that the Mel
on GrowerS Association should take
steps to provide cantaloups seed the
quality of which is above suspicion.
Geo. West, of Fort Collins, former
ly Of Ordway, has recently been to Ne
braska to investigate the sugar beet in-
dustry. He says that the Nebraska
farmers think il they net $40 to $l5 per
acre they are doing we'll. The Rocky
Ford country has in the past taken some
interest in the experimental growing of
sugar beets and has proven that no Sec
ton of the country, east or west, is bet
ter adapted to their growth to- perfec-
tion. But we are not bidding for the
location of a sugar beet factory here be-
cause we can do better. What Il the
use Of raising sugar beets with great
labor at an income Of sl5 per acre when
by putting the land into tomatoes or
cantaloupes return Of from $40 to 300
per acre is reasonably well assured.
Some localities will doubtless find sugar
beets the most profitable crop they can
grow but Rocky Ford soil is of higher
caste and will be devoted to crops
bringing greater profits per acre.
Both the La Jnnta Democrat and
Times copy our eagle and dove article
Of two weeks since and comment thereon
to their seeming qualification. Tho Dem
ocrat says:
The Rocky Ford Enterprise can
not stand the mixing OF the "white

mireism does not go down with the
rank and file OF the party, and the
Enterprise gives expression to tho
sentiment.
Among other pleasant things the Times
says:

terprise:

Manager Wiley OF the Sreat fiains
Storage Co. was in Denver a few days
and told the News that his company
wus selling lnnd very rapidly to farmers
from the Mississippi valley states. He
attributes much OF this demand to the
fame Of tho Rocky Ford cantaloupe, for
which g. Louis dealers this season had
more orders thnn they could I'LL. The
reasoning il that one part OF the valley Is
as good ~ another for cantaloupes and
that what the Rocky Ford country has
done Bent and Prowers counties can do.
This assumption, however, is not well
founded, judging from the reports OF
dealers in Denver and Colorado Springs.
From the latter city. especially, came
complaints that the melons sent from
some portions Of this territory were not
M to the seandard. The complaint
was TINT the flavor was not equal to that
of cantaloupes grown in the vicinity OF
Rocky Ford and that they became soft
too soon. Hence our Great Plains neigh
tors must not ho too sure that they can
raise captaloupes as fine rs those grown
in this portion OF the valley.

Mlswold and company who were en-
gagged in the business at Ontonagon fol
number of years but whose plant
was destroyed in the coniiagratlon
last summer, when the entire town was
burned to the ground.
They have purchased three lots on the
new town site and have an option on
several more which they will probably
purchase later 4 few men commenced
work Yesterday and a small shanty has
been put 10 beside tent which the men
will reside in untii some Of the other
buildings are up. The road leading TO
the new town ate is not in the best OF
condition and some of the men are at
work fixing that up so that the teams
can get in With the lumber and machin'
cry. It ia fully a mile and a hall from
the city.
The firm intend erecting tour buildings
and a dwelling house. The brewery
proper will be eighty feet long by fifty in
width and will be situated in the center
of the three lots. The storage cellar Will
be thirty ieet wide by sixty in ,ength and
the bottling house will be thirty f-et
wide by forty long. There will also be
good sized barn put up and the house
will be quite large. These buildings may
be enlarged upon in the spring the bust

outfit includes thirty-fye horse power
boiler, fifteen horsepower engine,
new patent bottlng apparatus, and keg
washer and in fact complete brewing
outfit,
There are couple OF good springs on
the site which will furnish water for the
beer. The spring water has been anal.
lied and is said TO be chemically pure,
beside having soft taste which is sup
posed to have good effect on the beer.
The firm enjoyed good trade at Onton-
agon where their beer has a first-class
reputation.
They intend to push the work on their
plant and TO have the frame work of all
the building up before snow flies and to
be producing beer before the commence
