SELLING THE WINDFALL
PEARS AT GOOD PRICES
The fruit that was blown from trees
by the Heavy Winds of Monday
and Tuesday Easily Sold.

AS stated Tuesday by the Sentinel
a large amount of ripening fruit was
blown from the trees in many or
chards of the valley by the high wind
that prevailed Monday and Monday
night and Tuesday. Pears naturally
suffered the worst
These windfalls, while not i'm con
dition to be accepted as Fancy fruit
the very highest grade, they are in
excellent condition and a great por-
tion of the fallen fruit was not bruis-
ed or damaged in the least.
The Grand Junction Fruit Growers
Association, in order not to allow
their shipping patrons to suffer a
total loss of these windfalls, have
handled and are handling them in
such a manner that the growers will
lose practically nothing.
All of the fallen fruit that was not
bruised or bruised only very slightly
is being packed and sent out as
Choice grade and very fine Choice
grade they are too. The fruit that
was bruised more or less or not quite
ready for picking when blown down
is being shipped by the association to
the big canning factory at Canon City
and for this fruit excellent prices are
being realized, Many thousands
poundb have been shipped to the
canning plant. This fruit Is shipped
out from here in big gunny sacks and
unpacked.

Frank Davis, assistant manager of
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
association, is in Denver this week
lining up market matters for the as
sociation and seing that the associa-
tion gets into communication with Its
eastern representatives in spite of
the telegrapher's strike. Mr. Davis
Will visit other points on the eastern
slope in the interest of the hg fruit
concern.
The inability to have telegraphic
communication with the outside
world has caused much inconyen-
ience to the local fruit growers as
sociations- The Grand. Junction
Fruit Growers association has been
.compelled to communicate with,
their Omaha representative who looks
after all the business along the Mis-
souri, river by means of a short re-
lay telephone service. Messages for
him are telephoned from here to Dem
yer and then from Denver to Omaha.
1t takes something worse than a tel
egrapher's strike to interfere disas-
trously with the shipments of the
great quantities of Grand Valley
fruit by the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association. They make
strenuous efforts to meet every emery
ency and to guard every interest of
their hundreds of patron shippers.

LEARNING THE GAME.

The American farmer, who has long
felt himself oppressed by the exactions
of the trusts, is out here and there
with scheme to get even. He pro-
poses in Eastern Washington to own
and control the wheat elevators. In
Minnesota he already controls large
number of elevators, and now it is
announced that big merger of far
mers' elevators in that state is pro-
posed so that all shall be controlled by
one central organization. The purpose,
as annunced, is to bring about better
grading, better terminal facilities and
better means of marketing grain !;
but one cannot repress the suspicion
that the farmers of Minnesota may
have design on prices, also. Per-
haps by controlling most of the -ele-
vators and managing them all, as one
concern they can produce demand for
wheat and price not otherwise
obtainable. And then it is just possible
that the wheatgrowers who do not own
stock in the elevators may be required
to pay an elevator charge a few
notches higher than reasonable. =. OF
course, it is not reasonable. in view
of the farmers opposition to trusts
and combines in all shapes and forms,
to impute any such purpose. but the
possibility is merely suggested.
This naturally recalls the status Of
the growers of tobacco in Southern
Kentucky and Northern Tennessee that
have an organization designed to
get the American Tobacco company by
forcing prices to q figure the growers
like. Not all the growers have choser
to join the association, and Is a result

.TAFT'S ESTIMATE OF THE NEGRO

Secretary Taft's speech at Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, has not received the
attention given to his utterances on
the general political issues at Colum-
bus, and yet from southern point of
view it was interesting and important.
The liberality and broad-mindedness
which are characteristic of Mr.. Taft
were significantly displayed when
speaking on the race issue.
He expressed strong conviction
that the race question was working it
self out and that nothing has 80 much
contributed to its general solution as
the 18th, 14th and 18th amendments to
the constitution. Speaking OF the
great progress made by the negro Of
the south in literacy, in business ven-
lures and in an enormous increase in
farm holdings, SECRETARY Taft sug-
gested that 1--WE are apt to forget this
real improvement in the diatribes that
we occasionally hear from men who
lose themselves in denunciation of the
entire race on account Of compare
lively small criminals as that forms
the dregs of the southern population.
Then he added:
The negro is an American. He has
no other country than this, and can
have no other country than this, and
called upon to defend it, he lays down
his life with the same freedom that
the white man sacrifices his. Ours is
the flag he Loves - the only one he
knows. 1t is our duty to see to it
that his path is made as easy as we
can and that his progress is AS incess-
ant as proper encouragement can make
it.
In this lies the keynote to the ulti-
mate solution of the negro problem.
The negro must be treated as man
and an American. The laws should
deal strictly and justly with the
criminal classes, but to those who are
honestly striving to uplift themselves
a helping hand should be extended. -
