day and reports twenty-seven young
orchards already set out under the
ditch system. These orchards range
from one to four years old and consist

considerable number of cherries.

The first trees were set out four years
ago, after the construction of the ca
nal, a number of these are beginning
TO bear fruit this season, which may
be regarded as significant to the adapt
ability of at least this portion of the
county to the successful growth OF
choice varieties of fruit on a CONNER
cial basis. Not only apples but all OF
the other kinds of fruit may be seen
on the young trees In the eastern La
Plata county orchards, 1t having sue
cessfully withstood late spring frosts
which last year curtailed the fruit crop
OF all the older fruit growing districts
OF Colorado as well as that of San

pares favorably with that of other
western Colorado fruit districts, be-
sides having the advantage of being
located farther south, 1t has. south

ty will rank well as fruit grower at
