WILL SOON BEGIN
SPRAYING FRUIT TREES

Orchardists will soon begin spray
ing fruit trees with arsenate OF lead
and other chemical solutions. with a
view Of protecting them from the raw
ages OF the various insect enemies
which prey upon them. Horucultur-
lists are prohibited by the law from
using poisonous sprays while the
trees are in bloom, as. by doing so
they would kill the bees, which are
extracting honey from the blossoms.
By the middle or last of next week
the greater part of the apple bloom
will have fallen on and the trees Will
be ready for spraying. A few of the
earlier varieties of crab-apples have
already shed their blossoms, but they
are the exception to the general rule
in the orchards.
Apple trees in the Canon City dis
trict bloomed month earlier this
year than they did last year. Horti-
cultural experts say that none OF the
apples in this section have yet been
injured by the frost, and that the in
dications favor the largest crop In the
history of the Arkansas valley.

PROTECTING RIVER BANK
FROM HIGH WATER

A lot OF rip-rap and other work is
being done by property owners this
spring to protect the north bank Of
the river, east Of the Ninth street
bridge, from possible freshet in
June. Several cribs filled with rock
have been constructed by prison labor
at the instance and expense of Mrs.
Macon, while farther down the river
,ranchers have been busy for couple
of months protecting the bank by rip
rapping The river is very low for
this time of the year and there is not
much prospect Of a June freshet, ow-
ing to the light snowfall on the con-
tinental divide during the last FIVE
or six months.

The prospect for a big fruit crop
was never better than 1t Is now, and
unless the unexpected happens, will
yield to it's owners a larger revenue
than any of its predecessors. The su-
perior quality of our orchard products
have of late years opened up new
markets to our growers and they can
look forward with composure and sat
isfaction to remunerative prices for
everything they have to sell.
Many new houses are being built
and the community is every year be-
coming more attractive to people in
the east, who desire to exchange the
rigors and uncertainties of their eli
mate for locality where the winds
of winter are not too cold and where
the rays of the summers sun are not
too hot In whatever direction the
people of Canon City cast their eyes
the vision is comforting and reassur-
ing.
The conditions are good here ma
terially, morally, religiously, and few
communities can contemplate the fu-
ture with as much of hope and equan-
unity as Canon City, whose ambition
it is to have $4,000 inhabitants in 1912.

BLOOMING ORCHARDS
A THING OF BEAUTY

Canon City people who do not visit
the fruit growing sections of Lincoln
Park and Fruitmere during the next
week or ten days will miss scene
of unusual attractiveness in the bios
soming orchards. which are redolent
of beauty and of the perfume of bloom.
At least twice every year the orch
ards should be visited, once when
they are white with the bloom of
spring, and again when the trees are
laden with the fruitage of autumn.
Never before, it seems to us, have the
orchards OF the Canon City district
been so promising and so beautiful as
they are now. and the man or woman
that would not be helped and uplifted
by a visit to them at this season is
lacking in sentiment, or in those quail
ties which exact and dignity human
nature.
A drive through Lincoln Park, or
Fruitmere, these delightful spring
days is a revelation of industrial thrift
and material beauty such as can
hardly be found elsewhere in Colo
rado. 1t is an inspiration that awak-
ems within the beholder strong love
for nature and a more abiding charity
for his fellows. II you have not made
such an excursion this year you
should do SO at once.

NEW DITCH COMPANY
ORGANIZED ON RED CREEK

The Red Creek Ditch company, com
posed of farmers of Red Creek, south
east OF Florence, has been organized
and incorporated by Ira D. Rambo, H.
c. Gains, F. NJ Marshall and Charles
Burlington. The company was organ
lied for the purpose of constructing
canal about five miles long, to have
its headgate on Red Creek, tributary
of the Arkansas, from which water
will be supplied to stockholders of the
company The company is capitalized
at $1,000, divided into 900 shares, par
value $40 each. Red Creek is one of
the prosperous farming sections in
the valley and in the past most of the
crops have been raised by water Sc
cured from rainfall. A large storage
reservoir has been built at heavy
cost and hereafter it is thought the
land will be given more water and
more bountiful crops will be raised as
result

MIX THIS AT HOME.

The following simple home made
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter relieving at
once such symptom as backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood dis
eases
Try it,, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingre-
dients from any good pharmacy:
Fluid extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: compound Kargon, one ounce;
compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces; mix by shaking well in a bot
tie and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bed time.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism or Kidney troub-
les it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs and your druggist should keep
them in his prescription department;
If not, have him order from the whole
sale drug houses, for you, rather than
fail to do this If you are afflicted.

ELDER C. n. WHlTM0RE
ESPOUSES CIVIC PRIDE
For the Daily Record:

For the Daily Record
| Last summer my business took me
to Denver and Colorado Springs, and
! having little time early in the morn
/! ing to Spare / took much pleasure at
both places in riding on their street
cars to the suburbs of each city and
was greatly impressed with one thing
very plainly to be seen, and that was
very evidently united effort of all to
keep their places looking nice so as
| to present the best appearance pos
sible to the stranger that might chance
that way. We always expect the
homes of the wealthy to look well, as
they should, but the ones l am writ
| ing about, and especially those | want
to interest particularly in the matter
of civic pride, were the homes of those
! in moderate circumstances. and many
of them those of laboring men, and
the attractiveness of the homes, as
viewed from the street, was greatly to
the credit of the occupants and their
civic pride. This week about 100 Wis
| iting strangers will be here in attend
ance at the Pueblo Presbyterian pres
| bytery, and each one of these 100
| to carry home a report of our city,
and the nicer our town can be made
| to appear to them the better that re-
port will be.
From reports made in our two larg-
est Sunday schools of persons visiting
the schools think am perfectly safe
in stating that an average of twenty
five strangers the year round are in
our city every Sunday, and II we can
impress upon our people the value of
and benefit to be derived by keeping
our city looking so well continually
that twenty-five reports carried away
each week by these strangers are to
our credit. Just think of the good
| the total OF over a thousand reports
for the year will do us, as against the
harm IL those reports were unfavor-
able.
We all took pride a year ago in the
decided improvement in appearance
after a general cleanup, but how
much better 1t would have been had
there been still a more united effort
to keep. clean, and how much easier
| it would be now to attain the ends we
wish and which we expect to get by
another Cleanup Day" / once heard
man state at revival meeting that
he had been Christian for seventeen
years and had been converted seven
teen times during that time. think
you will all agree with me that he
would have been a much better Chris
! tian had he only lived SO that 1t was
not necessary to convert him over
| every year. The story Of the girl
| about combing her hair also illustrates
| very nicely the point l want to bring
out. This girl In question said she
didn't see how other girls stood 1t to
comb their hair every day. because she
only combed hers once a week and II
most killed her then.
| Let US see after this next cleanup
II it is not really less work and very
much more satisfactory to stay clean
by little effort all the time than
once a year to make big effort In
attaining the same end. 1t Is said
success comes by keeping everlast-
ingly at 1t. Let us prove this In the
future by the way we keep our prem
ises looking.

Several thousand members of the

that they shall send commercial mes

AS a result of the first weeks fight
