year.
When one comes to consider the 70.
turns made this year on the fruit or.
chards OF the western slope the 4.
ures are even more astounding. No
wonder that Missouri threw up her
hands in despair when she gazed On
the product of the Colorado orchards
of the western slope and without more
ado awarded the state a first grand
premium on its display, thing never
before done In the history of the state.
Practically the only fruit grown In the
state this year has been on the west.
ern slope. Orchards in other sections
were put out OF business by the late
frosts.
]. F. Moore. manager of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association.
gave me some interesting data over
the phone yesterday. Up to date there
have been shipped from Grand juno
ton alone 470 cars of fruit.
Shipments during the week lust
ended averaged sixteen cars a day
Twenty-Five cars went ont last night.
The average returns on these cars. fig
ured at a low estimate, is placed at
81 200 car. Little Paonia will shin
about seventy-five cars OF apples this
fall. These will net $500 a car. Re.
turns from other fruit-shipping points
are not yet In hand.
1t is probable that before the sea.
son has closed not less than 900 cars
and probably nearer 1900, will have
gone out of Grand Junction. The re-
turns from 103 carloads of Bartlett
pears netted the growers $132,257.
Fourteen cars of pears shipped within
three days from Grand Junction net
ted $23,S74, or $1,705 per car. Is 1t
any wonder, then, that land is going
up by leaps and bounds in that sec
ton of the state? The only wonder is
that land is as cheap as 1t is
In all of the irrigated districts of
the state, the harvests, all crops con
sidered, break the records for quality
and quantity. Take Weld county as a
fair example. Farmers will average
from $50 to $50 per acre clear on all
crops grown this year IL present signs
do not fail Fifty cars of potatoes a
day are leaving the Greeley district
and this number would be largely in
creased IL the cars were to be had.
Growers are receiving sixty-five cents
per hundredweight for the potatoes.

acre. Ten thousand carloads of pota-
toes will be shipped from the district
alone during the year
Never before in northern Colorado
have wheat, oats and barley yielded
so heavily or tested SO we'll as this
year. Alfalfa has done exceptionally
well. Vegetables and berries were a
good crop. Taken all together, the
year has been Colorado's best. And
that is saying all that can be said.
Five years ago there were not z5.-
900 acres of land under cultivation in
the so-called semi-arid belt of eastern
Colorado This year the acreage is
about 100000, and exceptionally
good crops without irrigation have
been raised. Think of the Increase
from $4,000 to 100000 in five years.
Isn't Colorado growing, and grow
ing wonderfully?
No man may dare predict what its
future will be.
Should any man he ashamed to say
he lives in Colorado? 80
Rather should ne not be proud of
the fact that he lives in such an
abundantly blessed state?

The man who makes two blades Of
grass grow where only one grew be-
fore was long ago pointed out as de-
serving well of his fellow creatures,
but II distinction is due to such a
one. what, asks the Chicago News,
shall be said OF the man who develops
race OF hens that would habitually
lay more than one egg day? Surely
could be too great for such one.
Prof. Gilman A Drew of the Univer-
sity Of Maine may be the one to whom
such debt will eventually be paid, for
he has been conducting studies and ex-
periments which lead him to believe
that there is no biological reason why
a hen should not lay more than one
egg day. This being true 1t follows
that the same American enterprise
which increases the quantity of all
other agricultural products will be
turned to the hen and compel her to
do her full duty. hens time is of
no value In other directions, and II
she can occupy what has hitherto been
idle leisure in producing more eggs,
then no laziness on her part should be
permitted. She should have no after
moons on. The eyes of the world are
now expectantly fixed on Drew and
the further results of his experiments

HARD TIMES RUN AWAY
COLORADO is GROWING RAPIDLY
BUT IN A SUBSTANTIAL AND
PERMANENT WAY.

Denver.-James B. Young, secretary
Of the Colorado State Commercial AS
sociation, has prepared the following
conservative statement:
Any man in Colorado Is justified in
talking prosperity In the state at the
present time. Conditions are good
The farmers are prosperous. Crops
have been good. There is not an idle
man. If man is looking for work. in
the state. The financial institutions
OF the state are in good condition, ex
cellent condition. We hear talk Of q
stringency existing in the financial
market in New York There is nc
such stringency existing in Colorado
True. the state of affairs in the East
gives the banks of Colorado a chance
to make loans that ordinarily would be
handled In the East, but even now we
are away above our reserve."-State-
ment OF Thomas Keely, Vice President
First National Bank
The statement of Keely is that OF a
conservative man of affairs, one who
keeps his finger on the financial pulse
OF the state, and who is not given to
exaggeration. From reports which
have been collected In the office of the
Colorado State Commercial Associa-
tion within the last week believe that
the next published statements of the
banks of the state are going to be
mighty interesting reading, I believe,
although predictions along this line as
rule are risky. that the deposits of
the banks of Colorado when compiled
will prove to be big surprise to most
people.
