Surface Creek.

In the Surface Greek country many
OF the young fruit orchards have come
into bearing aud the past season has
seen the biggest output OF fruit that
has ever been shipped from that section.
That part o! the territory lying In Gud
around Cedaredee and Eckert has been
particularly prosperous. At Cedaredg
several stores are now doing busin ess
and ECkert has one, which is being
we'll paironized. The Surface Creek
section is one OF the most prolific farm
ing and fruit raising localities on the
Western slope. Like the North Fork
valley, all conditions. both climate and
otherwise. seem to combine in making
1t an ideal fruit section. The acreage
OF lIliable land is even greater than that
Of the North Fork. and the only reason
why the fruit output is smaller is on
account OF fruit culture being taken up
many years later The past season
close TO 10 cars OF fruit have been picked
aud packed in that section. Consider.
able OF this is being held for better
prices. The chief product raised in ;ha,
locality, however, is the hay crop, and
thousands OF tons OF alfalfa are harvest
ed every season, which 10 fed, in the
winter to the cattle, which are grazed in
the foothills and on Grand Mesa during
the summer months. The total tonnage
OF hay is estimated to be close to 5000.
