successful in its history. The program

The district court room, where the

cry session by an audience desirous of
hearing the subject of horticulture and
its affiliated callings discussed by both
scientific anil practical men and wo men.
The cold weather contributed to, rather
than 1etracted from, the attendance,
as ranchers and gardeners, finding it
too disagreeable to work in the open

and were paid for doing SO in the in
formation which they gained in rela.

Colorado Apples
Popular Everywhere
Colorado Apples In Great Demand In Every Market Where
They Have Been Seen--Being Shipped to New York
and CalHofnia---N Fear Of Over Production.

There are few facts In regard to the
apple growing industry in the immedi-
ate neighborhood OF Canon City that
should be brought prominently before
every business man, every fruit grower
and every person Interested in the fu-
ture development of Canon City.
Apple growing in Colorado reached
the point about three years ago, where
the local market failed completely to
consume the apples grown, and IL was
necessary for the various growers soci-
cites to go out into the markets Of the
country to dispose Of their crops.
Al that time Colorado apples were
practically unknown, which makes
more phenomenal the unprecedented
demand that there has been for Colo
rsdo Apples" this past season. In COM
petition with apples from all other
points, the apples Of Colorado have
had the preference and have brought
the higher price; more particularly is
this true OF the apple we all know so
we'll, the Jonathan.

force the car to sanction. Also
he intends to try to relieve the
peasants of some of their taxes In
order that they may have little
money to purchase modern agri.

These reforms will take a long

The burden of tax paying is
borne almost exclusively by the
peasants, while the privileged
classes, the nobility, the clergy and
public officials, contribute scarcely
anything to the national exchequer.
The average income of a Russian
peasant is $40 a year, and of this
he has to pay S. in taxes.
