of which were made by Palisade real
estate men. There were few sales
that for various reasons were not
made public, ard 1t is estimated that
they would amount TO about $780,
900. The grand total for the year
amounts to 81 i,5t9.93S. March was
the banner month In which sales
were made amounting to s2T6.575.
April had the lowest record of s49.-
775.
THE year just ending has been a
most successful one for the Palisade
district. Although considered an OF
year there were i57 cars of mixed
fruit shipped from this point. and
more than half that many from Cliff
ton, which bears ont the prediction
made in April by the Tribune. that
the Palisade district would ship 400
ears of fruit this season.
Hundreds of eastern people have
located here during the past year,
and all are contented, A great many
beautiful homes and other buildings
have been erected. the total amount
of money expended by builders in the
Palisade section the past year being
estimated at 100000, and from
present indications the year of 1908
will show "A marked increase along
this line.
Right at this time a system of
mountain water works is being built
by the town and will be completed
In 80 days. which will give this place
another advantage over It's neighbor-
ing towns and make 1t an ideal home
place.

The average price paid for fruit
lands the past year shows an increase
of 25 per cent over that of 1906, and
the prices received for our fruits
were more than double that of last
year. and for some varieties three
and four times as much as previous
years.
"The stories told by some of our
growers would sound like fairy tales
to one who Is not familiar with the
fruit business in this section, never
theless they are true statements from
responsible men. For instance, G.
w. Bowman states that from one
acre of Minkler apples he harvested
2,3S0 boxes of fruit. AT the time
he was marketing them they were
selling at $2.25 per box. The read
er can figure 1t out for himself how
much he might receive per acre.
&C. S. Reed has 4 ~ acres of o.
year-old peach trees that last season
produced 5000 boxes, which netted
him over $4,000. This season he
only had a half crop. or 1900 boxes,
but they made him $3.S97.65. Thus
1t is to be seen how the short" crop
affected US.
Frank Barrow, the well knowL
ranchman west of town, has several
acres of pears that netted him over
$1,000 per acre this season.
"If space permitted, we could give
dozens of statements equal to the
above froLl prominent growers In
this section. and at some future time
we may do it,

REACHING OUT FOR
THE SMALLER THINGS

Colorado farmers are beginning to
look after the side issues of their
crops and stop the wastes. They
have been losing some sources of
revenue by overlooking them because
the profits in the aggregate were al
ways considered enough to make all
kinds of money without paying any
particular stress to the smaller things
which go to make up the veritleS of
an Industrial life.
The day of little things, however,
is at hand. when both large and
small results are to bring income to
the lands. Signs are to be seen in
the growth of canning factories and
drieries In the fruit districts and veg
etable sections and in the study Civ
en- to building factories here and
there to utilize the products that
have heretofore gone to waste.
In this line is to be mentioned the
two starch factories in successful OPP
Grafton in Greeley. These are work
ing up into starch practically all the
refuse potatoes, the small ones that
heretofore have been allowed to de-
cay upon the ground so that the out
put amounts to $4,000 tons. This
season the factories have worked up
a good many thousand dollars worth
of these small potatoes into starch
In the alfalfa sections mills are
going in to grind the stalks and stems
OF the plant into meal for stock feed
ing. This great forage plant has a
tendency TO run to stalk so that ami
mails do not eat all of 1t after 1T is
dry, and considerable OF the nutri-
ment is lost in this way.
The loss can be afforded, as. in
spite of it, there is no stock food
equal to alfalfa; but the discovery
that by grinding 1t into meal, mixing
It with sugar molasses and feeding
II In this form creates saving OF
more than 80 per cent.
Colorado has scarcely touched the
cream of Its resources. They are all
lbut inexhaustible. and the centuries
are bound to reveal new ones. but
It is an old saying that woeful waste
makes woeful want, and the great
lessons In thrift are to be learned In
studying the closest economy OF the
| resources. Set a people to caring
| for the small matters and they VIII
never overlook the big ones. We
| will never reach the acme OF ouI
completeness until we take ON the
economic habits of the European
Germans in these little matters o.
4 thrift.
