MOUNTING HIGHER
And Higher is the Fruit Industry OF
Colorado-Quality and Quanu-
ty of the Fruit is Unex-
cclled in Country.

The fruit industry of Colorado and
especially the apple growing busi-
ness in several localities has grown
into great proportions, says the Dem
yer Field and Farm.
The quality and quantity of our
apples are unexcelled by those of
anywhere else in the country and the
Denver market never before present
ed such display of beautiful fruit as
is shown today. Even in the remote
east Colorado fruits now take first
place and the European markets are
not beyond our grasp. Up to the pres
ent time with the exception of few
local associations no hard and fast
combination has been made among
the growers having for its object the
fixing and maintaining of prices. The
result naturally is that the individ-
ual grower is competing with his
neighbor so that prices are fixed by
producers but not by the buyers. A
and managed having in view solely
the upholding of the prices of ap-
piles and other fruits, and requiring
the producers to stand by these figur-
es, would prove a good thing in Colo
RADIO at this time. Such an organiza-
tion very generally supported by the
fruit growers would result in more
money for their crops and the mark
cts would be more certain and definite
than they now are. What has been
done in local way could be acquired
in general practice and some of us
ought to get busy in organization of
q strong association.

The commission houses are up to
ther old tricks in Denver. Before the
fruit interests of this city were suffic-
ently strong to maintain an associa-
tion, they were at the mercy of the
Denver commission houses, who by a
combination paid what they pleased
Tor fruit and took as much of it as
they wanted and no more. Now the
vegetable commission houses have
been turning the old trick TO their ad-
vantage and beating the growers of
vegetables in Colorado. 1t is charg-
ed and pretty generally substantiated
that, the commission houses purchase
or take just a small proportion of
the vegetables grown in Colorado
and purchase the greater portion out
side of the state. The remedy is es-
tablishing commission houses in Den
yer by the gardners of Colorado.
Fight the devil with his own weapons
is usually the best course.
