What the Associations are Doing.

Palisades three fruit associations
will do a big business this summer,
bigger in fact than last year by one
third.
The Palisade Association has already
ordered twelve cars of box material and
one of box paper. There are about
l400 boxes to the car, so it will be seen
that this association expects to handle
l68, 900 boxes of fruit this summer.
During the busy season about fifteen to
twenty men will be employed, most of
them loading fruit INTO the cars. The
new Peach Growers Association is now
getting ready for the busy season.
Seven car loads of box material and one
car of paper have been ordered. The
building is very large one and is es-
pecially adapted to the plan adopted by
this association for handling fruit. 1t
is 44xl25 feet inside, and the floor space
is greatly increased by two platforms,
each twelve feet wide, running the full
length of the building. Since all the
packing will be done in these buildings,
very large force will be required,
Manager Sawade thinks IS or 80 during
the busiest season. Six packing bins
each thirty feet long have been pro-
vided, and at each of these ten packers
will work. Provisions have been made
for six expert box makers to work,
each with a nail holder in front of him
and box material arranged in the handi-
est way upon specially constructed
table at which the maker works. The
fastest box makers turn out under such
circumstances 600 to 500 boxes day.
The branch of the Grand Junction
Association located here is better pre-
pared than ever to handle large crop
here. The floor space has been more
than doubled and ten car loads of box
material have already been ordered.
About twenty men will be employed
during the busy season.
The Importance of these three associ-
ations will be seen when it is considered
that together they will give employ
ment to nearly $50 men. Their aggre-
gate shipments of fruit this year will
no doubt amount to $50 car loads, and
their business for the summer will reach
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pal

DRY-LOT CATTLE
SCARCE.
Good Demand for Choice Stuff with
Prospects Of Still Higher Prices
Within the Next Few Weeks.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS. July
23-Good dry lot cattle were conspicu-
GUS by their absence on this market last
week. There was a good strong de-
mand from day to day and prices closed
firm to a little higher and indications
are that choice stuff will sell still higher
within the next few weeks as supply in
sight is very light. Grass steers were
also scarce and unchanged, but there
were plenty of grass cows on hand.
Unless they were good however, buyers
were hard to interest and prices closed
25 cents lower with the inferior kinds
off fully half dollar and hard to dis
pense of even at that. This condition
of affairs exists on all markets. Grass
cows are very green this year on ac-
count of heavy rains in most sections
which prevents the grass from curing.
and the margin in price between the
good cattle and the common grassy
stuff is widening rapidly. A few weeks
longer will make these cattle much bet
ter and they should be held back where
ever possible. Some corn fed steers
and heifers sold here last week at &.10
but most of the steers offered were just
fair and sold at $3.50 to $500. There
were no dry lot cows offered and no
change in prices. Fancy North Park
grass cows sold at $3.50 and 1885 but
they were excellent and most of the
Park stuff went at g. so to $3.50. Bulls
were lower in sympathy with big de-
cline east, bulk selling at sI.75 to $2.25.
Veals were also lower than a week ago,
best here bringing $3.50. Feeders and
stockers closed about steady. The de-
mand was fair towards the end Of the
week for good ''ones and there was .
little more life to the trade but buyers
were particular as to quality and COM
mon steers are about as dull as ever.
Best steers here sold at $40 but they
were good and bulk brought $3.50 to
1926. There is little improvement in
the feeder and stocker situation east
and not much expected for few weeks
longer.

A new map of the Gunnison Tunnel
project has just been completed. Our
attention was called the other day, to a
fact that seems rather unfair on the
part of the engineers who implied it.
Montrose, with every sage brush addi-
ton and the entire corporate line is
shown as a city. Delta is shown as
only six blocks wide and not one third
of the corporate limits appear. Even a
large percentage of the actual residence
section has been left out completely.
Every ditch around Montrose is shown
and named. Around Delta there are
but two shown. And the best of all is
small sectional map of the entire
State in which Delta has been left out
entirely. Now the Gunnison Tunnel
project is by the government. Mont
rose and her people are not having to
pay one more cent for this work than
are the people of Delta. 1t would be
only fair that both towns should be
treated alike We should like to ask
whose fault it is. Can you tell US, any
of you engineers? All we want is n
square deal. We have the territory
and the opportunity.

A Cherry Story.

1t has generally been claimed that
there was no money in growing cherries
on the Western Slope but the following
facts are worth noting. M. A. Miller
who lives near Paonia has % trees from
which he picked four and three-fourths
tons Of cherries. He hauled these to
the canning factory where he got S55. 90
per ton for them. He paid cent
pound for picking them and it cost him
$500 per ton to haul them in; this netted
him $1,000 per ton. Suppose on this
same ground he had planted one solid
acre to the same kind of cherry. Each
tree netted him $500, 100 trees would
have made his profits for one acre $780,
90. Does any one want anything better
than this? We can certify to the facts
of the above. With the event of the

ey in the smaller fruits right along.
The canning factories and evaporators
of Delta county are going to take an
important place in the handling of fruit
crops and will surely serve as an induce
ment for the people to indulge in the
culture of the small fruits which are
suitable for canning and drying.
Whenever the growers find that they
can make good money out of the small
er fruits they will certainly turn to
them because they are by long odds the
easiest fruits to grow. They do not
need spraying and are not subject to so
many pests and diseases as the larger
fruits. The economy of the production
will make up for the expense of mark
eting and the result will be about the
same.-The Colorado Fruit Grower.

THE GREEN APHIS.
Delta County Growers Taking
Steps Against It. Concerted
Action Necessary.

All fruit growing districts are bound
to find the time when contention with
different pests and tree and fruit killers
is demanded. The Green Aphis, is a
small yet hardworking little pest. that
works and feeds upon the leaves of the
apple tree, the peach tree and the plum
tree. Each little insect that attacks
these varieties are somewhat different
in regard to appearance and are never
found except on the trees to which they
are addicted.
For years the growers of California
have been in active battle against the
ravages Of this pest. The Government
entered into the work and the results
of systematic trial and investig alton
have proven that the Australian
LADY BUG
can become the greatest factor in clear
ing and ridding infected districts. On
an island just off the Pacific coast. this
little bug is being propogated. He is
meat eater and when turned loose in an
orchard affected by aphis at once be-
gins operations, attacking that insect
by choice.
Different solutions for spraying have
taken effect only when reaching the
aphis. A natural affinity to protect it.
self, this pest will curl up the leaves
Of tree. The spray pump, no matter
how powerful. cannot reach him, and
the results that should occur do not.
But with the lady bug it is different.
He crawls into the curled leaf and be-
fore he energies there are no aphis or
no eggs.
Within the last few weeks there have
been several gallons Of these little pest
fighters shipped into Delta County by
different growers. But the purchase
Of such an amount will make but little
difference with the conditions over the
county. What is needed now is con-
ccrted action or the part of all growers
to rid themselves. Us near as possible,
of this impending drawback to success
full fruit culture. A step in time is all
that may be required. "..
These little bugs an orange colored,
black spottcd backed creature, will live
in any climate. In limited quantities
they are scattered over the whole Unit
cd States. Hundreds of gallons are
needed for Delta County. Every or
chard, whether infested or not, should
be given dose of them. II the aphis
is not there to kill and to eat, the lady
bug will find other insects which are of
damage to you. Concerted action must
come. The sooner it comes the better.

A Light FRUIT CROP.
Frank E. Dawley Has Observed ii
Over the State Of New York.

According to Frank E. Dawley of
Fayetteville, superintendent of the
horticultural department of the State
fair for several years and past master
of the State Grange. the crops of fruit
this year are going to be very light.
Taken altogether, Mr.. Dawley be-
lieves that the crops of apples, peaches.
plums, cherries and pears will average
scarcely more than half their usual
quantity. The shortage he attributes
to too much early warm weather and
too much late cold weather. He has
travelled all over the state and observed
the conditions in different localities.
When asked yesterday what the pros
poets were for the exhibit of fruits at
the State fair next fall Superintendent
Dawley said that the exhibit would be
just as good as ever, but that more
work would be required to get it. More
than 1000 letters have been sent out to
people who have exhibited in past years
urging them to make exhibits this year.
Il Judge from what have seen that
the apple crop will be not far short of
forty per cent less than the usual crop.
peaches about fifty per cent, plums
about ten per cent, cherries about sew
enty-tive per cent and pears about sixty
per cent less. There will he good eN-
hibit at the State fair, but We shall
have to work harder to get it. "-Syra-
