.DElTA'S SUGAR
FACTORY.
All Proper Effort Must
Be Used to Secure it.
The Best Field For a Factory Now
Open is Offered.

The attention of our valley farmers
is. by present course of events, more
forcefully than ever directed to sugar
beet raising.
This trend carries with it the greater
necessity foi sugar factory at Delta.
Delta being the undisputed center of
the Uncompahgre and Gunnison beet
growing soil, ia site for factory
which does not need a surveyor to To-
cate. 1t stands out boldly to the view
of everyone.
The manufacturing capitalist can see
its advantages at a glance. The beet
growers for miles around cast hopeful
looks into that future when they can
deliver their crops to the one central
market.
AS to the progress of the work of
getting factory for Delta. it can only
be said that good steady effort does
not lack; that there is at present prac-
tically rivalry for the field; that COM
mittees who have been engaged in the
work of collecting data. acreage. agree
ments and other inducement matters,
are far enough along with their work
to make a showing sufficient to have
much influence.
1t ought not to require cumbersome
argument to prove Delta's title to a
sugar factory. Her territory, by proof
of test from thousands of acres during
the last two years, shows the heaviest
yield per acre and the highest average
percent sugar Of any section in the
record of sugar beet production, ac-
countable TO the adaptibility of soil,
climate, water and intense sunshine.
This is all there is to the argument.
Delta has territory almost sufficient
TO support factory set in sugar beets
now. BY the time factory could be
built in season for next years crop the
acreage would be ample for a large
factory. and this acreage, even when it
became necessary to rotate crops. will
have broadened out over a territory
made possible by the Gunnison recla-
nation project. perhaps capable of
supplying two or three factories.
Delta must have a sugar factory and
the work of building it should be started
just as soon as possible. The time is
none too long. Its building this year
would mean more than can be told to
these upper valleys. 1t would be the
beginning of their permanent advance
ment and the foundation of its own
success.

Big Land Deal

Mr.. w. l.. Clark Of Randolph, Iowa,
this week purchased the j. Z. Moore
ranch of 225 acres adjoining Delta on the
north. This ranch is finely improved,
has full water right capable of supply
ing more water than is needed, has 65
acres in beets this year and holds
Worlds Fair gold medal at st. Louis
for best beets, as well as the Tonnage
record of the Western Slope and State
of Colorado. 1t also has tracts which
have paid, upon their crop yields, 10
per cent above all expenses on valua-
ton Of 81 900 per acre. Mr.. Moore has
earned comfortable fortune at Delta
and has sold to a splendid representa-
tive citizen Of Iowa; a man of enter
prise, public spirit and means, such as
are warml, welcomed to our town and
country. Theprice paid for Mr.. Moore's
land and improvements was 10000.
Mr.. F. G. Myers. of the Delta County
Land and Immigration Agency, made
the deal.

Smudging a Science
Needs Organization,
More System and
Better Appliances
What it Has Done In Sections Where
Put in Proper Operation.

In California, it is said, smudging of
orchards has been perfected to a system
which effectually protects the trees
against frosts, which at times visit the
coast section for week at a time.
There smudging kettles are provided by
orchardists in sufficient number to hang
one on each tree. In these kettles one
of the prepared bricks is placed which
will burn from twelve o'clock midnight
until Z. O clock a. m, keeping the tree
enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke.
Our valley fruit growers must better
organize for smudging. County In
spector Richardson of Delta, fully
believes that the good work done in
smudgmg at Paonia saved the fruit
crop of that section. The fruit men
of Paonia district were well organized
and, where men were needed, all they
had to do was to send word and the
number asked for was allotted, and
better still, we understand it was all
volunteer service. This shows a patri-
otic interest in saving the fruit crop of
that section that could do nothing less
than elicit the highest praise. Much
the same kind of report comes from
Palisade, where full crop is again ex-
pected. OF course there are different
conditions to combat from one section
to another, storm and cold waves vary
ing and seeming to be without defined
channel or course, but in the maine.
the smudgipg science is a true one.
The fruit growers have demonstrated
that by energy during the danger per-
iod when thousands of dollars worth of
fruit is in jeopardy, the crop can be
saved by the use of crude oil and the
pot system. In conversation one of
the prominent growers who worked
faithfully each night during the cold
snap. stated;--.I am positive that we
need not fear the loss of the fruit crop
in the Grand Valley in the future. if
we will carry out this new system.
''In my orchard wherever the pots
fruit than they can mature, while in
other parts of the orchard where we
did not smudge it is almost impossible
to find live bud''
While it is severe loss to most of
the growers this year the lesson
learned is valuable one and will be
worth thousands of dollars in coming
years for the reason that the smudging
was thoroughly tested and it has been
proven beyond all doubt that if the fruit
ms n prepare themselves and systemati-
caly carry on the new plan of heat
ing the orchards with crude oil, the
Grand Valley will know no such thing
as the loss of crop by frost. Grand
