The D & R. G. Ry. Co. have just is
sued fine new folder giving pictures
and information about this valley. 1t
is an excellent piece of work and the
wide distribution it will be given will do
much to bring the Uncompahgre valley
to the attention of people all over the
country. There is no source from
which literature can emanate that gives
such general circulation as thru the
passenger department of railroad. In
sending this foldor to newspapers the
R. r. issues the following letter:
The next large tract of land to be
opened up for settlement, under the
National Irrigation Act, will be the
Uncompahgre valley. in Colorado. Here
the government has been driving tun-
mel six miles long to connect the Gun
nison and Uncompahgre rivers and its
completion is promised by the fall of
1908. One hundred and fifty thousand
acres of land. now arid. lying in the
valley of the Uncompahgre river. will
be made into productive farms and
orchards.

about this new hand of promise. Uncle
Sam appears in a new role. that of the
Goddess of Plenty. with his cornuco-
dia pouring out riches in the form of a
stream of water which flows down
through and makes fertile a vista of
farms and orchards''
The folder, which is fully illustrated,
describes at length the government
works, the character and value of the
land to be watered and contains valu-
able information for intending settlers
under the government canals. 1t is is
sued for gratituous distribution by the

The Delta County and Surface Creek
Fruit Growers Associans are experienc-

move the apple crop and the time is at
hand when it should be moved to avoid
danger from freezing. The Surface
Creek people at Austin need 25 cars im-
mediately or an average of eight day
until the crop is out, but on Thursday
they had not received car since Mon
day when one was supplied. They have
eleven cars of fruit in the house and
fifteen in the orchards ready for imme-
diate shipment and the lack of cars is
causing Manager Hestom great anxiety.

will Feed Sugar Beets.

]. w. Musser will raise sugar beets
to feed to his cattle. He planted two
acres on the 18th. of last June and the
yield was fine considering the care they
received. Single beets weighed as high
as seven pounds. The crop was not
cultivated at all. Next year he will
put out from ten to twelve acres and
will feed the crop to his cattle for fat
tening purposes.
Feeding sugar beets to cattle was ad-
vocated by Nelson Morris. the big Chi
cago packer, at the Stock Growers Assn.
meeting in Denver early this year. Mr..
Morris claimed that combination of
sugar heets and alfalfa made as fine
fat producing feed as corn and he said
were he a Colorado farmer he would
raise beets for feed instead of for the
factory. Of course Uncle Nelson was
giving his own business boost when
he carried his statement that far. But
it has been proven by experience that
beets fed to stock produces fat as quick
ly and inexpensively as corn and Colo
RADIO cattle men will come to realize in
time that they have in this country as
good finishing. feed products as their
competitors in the corn states.
MIR. Musser will put thru 500 head of
cattle this winter for which he cut 800
tons of hay during the summer. His
beet feeding experience will be watched
with interest by Delta county cattle
men.
