DOWN AMONG SUSSEX FARMERS.
Good Returns From the Berry Crops Have set
Them Right up Financially.

Last week wound up the season for
backberries and raspberries down
Delaware, and it is estimated that the
growers made at least twice the amount
of money out of blackberries this sea-
son as they did the previous year.
On the Fourth of July delegation of
grow wers met at Sand Hill camp ground
and after spreading their table ate a
big dinner together, after which they
prepared for mortgage burning
which consisted of thirty-two mort
cages; these farmers made enough
money this year out of their straw
berry crop to lift most all their mort
cages. That which was lacking was
finished out of the black and rasp-
berry crop.
The peach season is about on, at
least there is few early fruit being
shipped from here which will probably
aggregate about two cars a day. 1t is
expected that the heaviest days ship
ment of peaches from this station this
year will reach about fifty cars. The
fruit is very fine this year and it is ex-
pected to bring good prices, as did the
berry crop. There are a few white
potatoes moving, but farmers are re-
luctant to dig on account of desiring
to clean up with the black and rasp-
berries, which will last a few days
longer. 1t is estimated that about 300
cars of white potatoes will be shipped
from Bridgeville John 7. Vanden-
burg has about 6fty cars, and Layton
& Owens will have nearly one hun
dred: Ellingsworth & Co. will have
about one hundred, and several more
commission men here expect large
quantity.
Bridgeville is known at all the fruit
points as the largest fruit station in
the United States, and surely this
season has been the best paying year
ever known. It would be hard tC
estimate how much the farmers would
have made had there been a full crol
of all kinds of fruit this year, however
they are all satisfied. The acreage
next year will probably be double tina
of the present. The apple crop is th'
largest for many years, although thi
is the apple year for Delaware. Their,
are never many apples shipped from
this station. Probably the heavies
days shipment will net eight cars
They are bringing big prices here
selling from 80 to So cents per basket
The Scneid peach and Troths ar,
coming in now, but are very small
Although very pretty peach thel
have little stability about them, an,
are selling from 35 to so cents per bas
ket. The best peach, the Elberta,
very full this year, and farmers tina
have these peaches expect to make bi
, money this year.

FARMERS ALLOWING MUCH
TO GO TO WASTE YEARLY
BUT LITTLE ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE
STUDY OF ECONOMY ON THE FARM.
Probably There is no Place Ia the World
Where There is Greater Wastefulness
than Among the Farming Districts.

The following article from BOgce's
Monthly for June, on the lack of econ
omy on the farm, is so full of truth
that we give our readers the benefit of
its sound common sense:
''It is probable that there is no
place in the world where there is
greater wastefulness than on the farm.
The proprietor of a manufacturing
plant uses the utmost care to see that
everything around his institution is
carefully preserved; that the build
ings are kept painted; that every
piece of machinery is kept in perfect
repair, every piece of waste material
is saved and disposed of where it will
bring the best price. This same pol
icy is followed by the merchant, and
nerly every class except the farmer.
In the fall when he unhitches from
plow, instead of giving it coat of
grease to protect the polished parts,
and of paint to protect the other iron
or woodwork, in many cases it is left
in the field, or some corner, until it is
covered with rust, aud often until the
next time he wishes TO use it. This
same careless method is applied to the
mower, the harvester ard the corn
planter. These machines. more deli
cate than those used in the manufac-
turing plants, are left to rust until
they become useless. Then whenthey
are needed again the owner finds that
he must invest in new ones in order
TO do his work. Thousands and thou
sands of dollars are thus wasted year
ly on the farm that must come out of
the pockets of the farmers. This
shiftless policy not only applies to the
machinery but the buildings as we'll.
A leak in the roof is neglected until
it has let water in and destroyed the
woodwork. Barn doors break with a
rusted hinge, and are let go until the
door comes off and becomes broken.
Fences get out of repair and are al.
lowed to go until it is too late to repair
them. The house is left unpalnted
until the boards become so rotted that
it is past repair. So it goes through
the entire list and the heavy hand oi
poverty bears heavier each year upon
the careless farmer until at last he
fails and the dilapidated farm passes
into the hands of someone else fol
half what it should be worth.
We are at loss to account for thi
-carelessness on the part of so man,
farmers. Whether they try to do 81
much that they are too weary all tn
time to attend to these minor matters
or whether they have never beei
taught to realize the leaks that keel
them down, it may be that both cause
contribute to it. Whatever it is, it i
time it was stopped.
If the farmer boy has never beei
taught the value of economy it is hig
time to begin the lessons. We hay
no sympathy with q man who CON
plains of poverty when his yard
filed with rusty machinery and hi
fences are tumbling down. He eoul
at least care for what he has. TIL
profits on the farm are not like thos
Of gold mine. 1t is not a speculs
tion. If farmer gets rich it will |
from the steady profits resulting fro
good management.

He worked his own way through college and
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Sciences. The
same steady, nethodical and studius nature which
now characterizes him was manifest in his younger
life and to this can be attributed his success in life
Mr.. Haggott was horn in Sidney, Shelby county,
Ohio, May IS 1864, His early education was OBJ
tanned in the country schools with at the
high school in the city of his birth. Then he at
tended Xenia college taught school between terms
and graduated from that institution with honor.
Having set his mark for still greater educational
advantages he took special course in the sciences
at the Northern Indiana Normal institute, where
his degree of B. 5. conferred. He afterward
spent one year as a teacher in Dallas, Texas, and
came to Colorado in August, 1887. As soon as he

the wishes of the people represented. 1t
something of a contrast when compared with the
Democratic state convention where the wishes of
one man and the gang of delegates he had voted
in from the disreputable portion of Denver con-
trolled the convention.
Republicans from every county voted untram-
melled and they pleased. There no slate,
but the popular expression of the people prevailed
in everything. Judge n. Walter Dixon of Pueblo
was the chairman of the convention, and his speech
showing the present condition of the state under
fusion and Democratic rule was of the most
scathing heard in political convention in the
state. Democrats who present in the con-
vention cheered his utterances
The nomination of James H. Peabody of Canon
City one of the strongest that could have been
made Mr. Peabody is business and one in
whom the people of the entire state have the most
implicit confidence. He is a who has never
sought office and one who represents faction of
the party. 1t was the intention of the convention
to name the governor outside of Arapahoe county
so that the old hue and cry could not be used.
The delegates and candidates from Arapahoe
realized this and lost time in getting in line
for the business from Canon City.
