- Some Interesting Fruit Statistics

The RECORD has gathered some ad-
ditional data the last few 1sys, pre-
dicsted upon the actual experience Of
ranchmen during the current season,
and upon the anticipations OF conserva-
tive men in relation TO those crops,
yet too immature to be placed upon
the market. which it desires to lay be-
fore its readers as a supplement to the
fscts CLEANED from Lincoln PARK grow
ers last week. and to the very able
article entitled, Small Fruits That
Pay" which was contributed to these
columns by James Turnbull some two
months ago
We realize the difficulty. orchsrdists
and agriculturists in the Eastern and
Central states Of the Union have in
satiafying themselves that their Colo
rado friends are not mendsc.ous in
everything they say in relation TO the
fruits and berries OF the state. for We
confess that unsupported statements
Of the marvellous crops TO be obtained
here under favorable conditions of soil
and moisture suggest Baron Mum
chsusen. or his Biblical prototype,
Ananias.
To avoid possible charge OF being
guilty OF that Oriental fine art. which
we Anglo-SAxons denominate ~ lying,
the RscoRD has been careful to fortify
isself with barrier Of facts, too stub
born and incontestible to be penetrat-
ed. and with this panoply considers IL
self safe from the attack OF those who
might otherwise question its truthful
ness and ver.cisy.

are dependent upon the rainfall for
the growth and ripening Of vegetation
