this was not all, as a large cat killed lot

DELTA
The Average for $50 Acres But Fraction Less Than Eighteen Tons
Challenges Any Similar Area In State to Equal This Record

Delta county never did any
thing that will bring it more
glory. that will win it more
friends, that will convince more
skeptics. that will do more genu-
inc good. than to produce the
monster average yield of beets
harvested as the crop of 1906.
Delta county soil has made a
record which it is safe to say has
not been surpassed and we do
not believe has been equaled by
any county in the state. This
phenominal production is a con-
vincer: it is a clincher; it is some
thing to be proud Of and the fig
ures are official. The INDEPEND-
ENT is not guessing or estimat-
ing. These figures come from
an absolutely reliable source and
should be made the most of by
Delta county people.
1t will be seen by the above
official figures that no other coun-
ty on the Western Slope comes
within gun shot of us in average
tonnage. From $50 acres, which
is next to the smallest number of
acres of any of the four counties.
we have taken second place in
total yield and come within 1.300
tons of the production in Mesa
county which had approximately
double the acreage.
At SIS. 90 per ton the Is, 5,0O5 tons
produced in Delta county makes
cash return of $75.025 or an
average of $SS.26 per acre for
the entire $50 acres. Allowing
$500 per acre for cost of pro-
duction, which is higher figure
than any Delta county grower
has yet suggested, there is left
net profit of $50 per acre for the
total acreage Of the county.

sured plenty of water. it is safe
to say no less than 5000 acres
would be planted to beets this
year. People are now alive to
the profitableness of the crop and
they will no longer hesitate to
grow sugar beets.
EXPERIENCE OF GROWERS.
The picture printed above is a
field of beets grown by J. E.
Moore on his farm in the Gunni-
son valley. A number of acres
Of Mr.. Moore's place is within the
incorporated limits of Delta. Mr..
Moore has been growing beets
for several years. When he first
turned his alfalfa over to put the
land in this crop, many well
meaning people thought he was
making a ruinous mistake. Space
is rot available to tell the full
story of Mr.. Moore's success. but
it has been a splendid one and is
a glowing tribute to the mortgage
lifting ability of the sugar beet.
He had in AZ acres last year
from which he harvested $50 tons
net. tare deducted. The general
average was 224 tons per acre and
an average cash return of SIP. so
per acre. Mr.. Moore figures his
net profit per acre to be 5000
and he says this is conservative.
This was the third crop on the
same ground and was the heavi-
est yield produced during the
three years. 25 acres of his land
has not been fertilized. Some of
his ground which produced 20
tons the first year, yielded 26 tons
the second and 80 tons the third.
He watered his 1906 crop but
three times. Experience has
taught him to water less and cul-
tivate more. His first crop of
sugar beets he watered five or six

TWAS GOOD
TO BE THERE.

Probably no lodge function or social
has been the cause of more genuine en-
joyment than the Joint installation of
officers of George 3. McClclland Post,
No 10, G. A. R.. and Relief Corps No
35, at the l. o. o. F. hall Wednesday
night
The old soldiers heart warns and
glows with fcrvor when he minglcs with
those who shared the hardships he en-
durcd in the great Civil War. This in
stallation brought out the largest gath
ering of old soldiers and ladies of the
Relief Corps assembled together in
Delta for a number of years. The lodge
hall was crowded. After the Corps had
transacted its regular routine of busi-
ness the new off GERS of George B. Nc
Clelland Post were installed by Comradc

son as officer of the day The new Off

This closed the formal program and
the remaining part Of the evening was
devoted to a splendid supper served in
the dining room, music, speeches and
singing and an old fashioned, free hand
good time. Both veterans and ladies
say they never had better time and
are greatly encouraged about the out
look for both the Post and Corps.
Among the visitors present were W.
II. Anderson and wife of Montrosc. Mr..
Anderson is president of the Western

Two Good Talks.

DR.. Miller, of Austin. was present at
the Business Mems meeting Monday
night and gave brief but interc sting
talk concerning visit he made to Pail
sadc last week. He went over to salts
fy himself as to what had made Palisadc
such an unqualified success and he came
to the conclusion that it was their real
estate men. They are of the sort who
ago after people and do not wait for pco-
plc to come to them. He says If the
real estate dealers were taken out of
Palisade the town would be half gone.
He found some land there paying as
high as SS. 90 per acre for water and he
could not help but contrast that with
so cents per acre here and we own the
water anc have a perpetual right. The
Doctor came home fully satisfied that
Palisade was all right, but Surface
Creek and other sections of Delta coun
ty were far more inviting from many
practical and economical standpoints.
ClClint Oliver, secretary of the West
ern Slope Horticultural Society ad-
dressed the meeting rs representative
of that society pertaining to move
men: for the raising Of funds with
which to send committee to Denver
to back our representatives and scna-
tors in the fight they will make for leg
islation designed to afford relief from
prevailing traffic conditions and to se-
cure the enactment into Inv Of meas
ures that will benefit the horticultural
interests of the state. MIR. Oliver made
detailed and lengthy statement and
made it interesting. He will visit Mesa
and Montrosc counties on the same
mission. The Association gave him
such assistance as he requested.

EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS.
c. Shark. on lower Surface
Creek mesa averaged 25 tons per
acre on five acres. Same land
was in beets the previous season
and land was not manured.
Ben J. Myers, on lower Sur
face Greek mesa, averaged 2S
tons per acre on four acres.
Matt Dolphin raised five acres
of beets on Garnet mesa. secur-
ing an average Of tons. Same
land was in beets year of 1905
and was not fertilized for 1906
crop.
Thomas Ryan raised eight acres
in upper Gunnison valley, har-
vesting 2S tons per acre.
c. n. Smith. in same location
as above. secured an average of
80 tons on seven acres.
S. P. Gutchell and Pat Sullivan.
on land six miles above Delta in
Uncompahgre valley, from heavy
adobe soil. raised 80 tons per acre
on five acres.
Reports given above cover a
wide range of territory. taking in
both Uncompahgre and Gunnison
valleys and the different mesas.
demonstrating beyond doubt that
all our land is especially adapted
to the profitable production of
sugar beets. the crop that. plant
ed in the spring yields rich re-
turns in the fall if given proper
attention and cultivation.

and Farm and published in this
issue, it is stated that land is
worth the price it will pay 10 per
cent interest on. If this is true.
and it seems reasonable, every
acre of land planted to beets dur
ing the year 1906 is worth $500.
1t is not selling for that price.
but the time may come when it
will if such a record could be
maintained. There are individ-
ual instances, as will be seen by
reports of growers published be-
low. where net profits were near
ly double the average mentioned
above, but we challenge any SIM
liar area in the state of Colorado
to equal the great record made
by this county. No fair minded
person can look at the figures
printed above and doubt but what
we have as good. if not the best
beet producing soil to be found
in the state. ...
In saccharine matter it is known
that our beets are at the top. al
tho it is impossible to get the
exact percentage, as the factory
people keep that a secret. Rep
resentatives of the factory put it
this way: You can say your
beets run over Is per cent" and
that is all the information to be
secured on this point. 1t is con-
servative to say that Delta coun-
ty beets run Is per cent.
The marked success of our
growers last year has stimulated
the industry to a remarkable de-
gree and the field superintendent
for Delta county, Mr.. Douthitt,
has been able to assure the fac
tory management that his dis
trict will furnish 1000 acres for
1907. If farmers on California,

The special school election to decide
if the district would re-purchase the
Monastery property resulted in vote
of 226 against, S4 in favor. The Board
gave the people fair chance to get
the property back if they wanted it but
the result clearly indicates that they

three times and cultivated from

count of expense. First year the
total cost Of production was S29. so

in 1906, $3.50. Increased ex-
pense is due to increased cost of
