THE POWER OF
GOOD ADVERTISING

The power of advertising is
told by manager of the toilet
department of a large New York
department store:
"We have six different makes
of one article" he said, "and
they are so near alike in quality
that even experts can't tell the
difference between them, yet we
sell as much of one as we do of
all the others together, Just be-
cause the manufacturer is ever
lastingly advertising it. The 9th
er five sell in proportion to the
amount of advertising given
htme. If there is any difference
in quality it is in favor of the
poorest seller.

BIG FRUIT CROP PROMISED
FOR THE WESTERN SLOPE

Lieut. Gov. E. R. Harper in n
recent interview in the Denver
Republican is quoted as saying
that the western slope will this
year produce the banner crop of
its history.
Lieut. Gov. Harper had just re-
turned from an extended trip
throughout the fruit growing
counties of the western slope,
and stated that never before had
the outlook been so encouraging
as at this time.
The unusually open winter on
this side of the range has caused
many to fear that damage from
rost might again be sustained.
Warm weather last year started
the buds early, and it was rep
etition of these conditions that
was feared.
Governor Harper says that
there are no indications whatever
of budding at the present tim",
and that it is now too late for
damage from that source. He
says thetrees could not now by
any possibility advance far enough
to be caught by any but a very
late and severe frost-in fact.
only a frost as late as June. Such
contingency; it is needless to
state, is exceedingly remote. This
time last year the fruit trees in
that section of the state were in
full bloom. II was therefore, to
have been expected that they
would not escape the frost. But
the fact that they have not yei
shown any indication of budding
is taken as assurance that this
year they will escape the frost
calamity entirely.
Lieut.. Gov. Harper also reports
that never before has there beer
such activity in the planting ol
new orchards. In the Grand and
Uncompahgve valleys thousands
of acres are being prepared fol
planting this year, and it is nc
stretch of the imagination to be
lieve that withing the next tw,
or three years the fruit produc
ton Of the western slope will b
fully doubled.
Mr.. Harper is not by nature ,
pessimist, but he leclares that
even his optimism was not equa
to what he actually saw with hi,
own eyes during this visit to tn,
great fruit producing section "i
the West.

THIS LITTLE COUNTRY
WILL PROTECT FORESTS

South America is beginning t.,
show the world that she recog-
nizes the value of her natural re-
sources by taking up the question
of forest preservation. The Re
public of Colombia has already
outlined forest policy and now
the people of the Argentine Re-
public have taken up the discus
sion of forestry and its applica-
tion to the management of the
country's rich hard wood timber
areas.
Up to the present time the sub
iect Of forestry has received but
little consideration in the vari-
GUS South American states. Most
Of these countries have large
areas of forested land, but owing
to the fact that they are so re-
motely situated and that they are
composed mainly of broad-leaf
species which are too hard for Or
dinary building and construction
lumber and hence not in very
great demand, they have not as
yet been extensively numbered.
AS an illustration of this might
he cited the fact that the small
country of France furnishes now
more saw material than, does the
whole of South America.
Wasteful exploitation of the
forests of Argentine Republic is
increasing, however and their
wanton destruction is beginning
to attract attention there. So far
J the destruction of valuable fruit
trees has received more attention
than that of forest trees. The
following is quotation from an
article which recently appeared
in ella Nacion," and was trans.
lated by the Buenos Ayres Her
aid:
"It is not only in the province
of Buenos Ayres that the ancient
tree plantations are being de.
stroyed; the evil has spread te
the remotest inhabited corners OF
the republic. In a recent journe,
to and through the provinces ot
the interior, l have found on ev
cry hand the effects Of the sav
agely reckless telling of timber
and the censurahle carelessnesa Of
the authorities who allow it. Tn,
destruction is general, the finest
specimens Of our indigenous tree,
have been ruthlessly sacrificed
not only those Of spontaneoul
growth but also those planted b,
our ancestors ON behalf Of theil
posterity.

nificent and highly productive or
ange trees, the fruit of which is
vastly superior to the importa-
tion from Paraguay here con
sumed. Had these trees been
properly cultivated the province
would now possess source OF
wealth which would haveSspared
it the shame of going a-begging
from the national budget.
SIN Mendoza the olive trees,
cultivated as far back as two
hundred years ago by the Jesuits,
have completely disappeared.
There, however, be it said with
satisfaction, there are men Of the
stamp of Civit, Seru and others
like them, who are busted with
plantations that promise to make
good the loss. In San Jose the
feeling has been stupidly prodi-
gal, with the result that not even
half of the plantations remain
which thirty years ago tempered
its torrid climate and beautified
its valleys.
"In Santiago del Estero, Can
tamarca. and Jujuy, there are
signs of the same barbaric de-
struction which, unless it is ar
rested, will soon leave those those
provinces as bare as a maize field
that has been ravaged by the To-
Gusts.
Gas for Tucuman. the Tucu-
man of poetic legends mentioned

abundance flowers and fruit, per-
funing the ambient air, feeding
the inhabitants and affording
them house and home, are
most beloved by them as the en-
blem of the felicitous union of the
useful and the beautiful No;
even the famous and magnificent
orange trees of the city plaza
have disappeared to make way
for more pretentious plants thar,
unfit for the climate and inappro-
pirate for the spot. cut the feeble
and sorry figure of wizened and
sapless consumptives. +"
From the destruction of the
fruit orchards to that of the for
ests is but step, and the peop'e
are already waking up to the fact
that they must take measures TO
protect their enormous and valu-
able forest resources. The work
of the United States government
along this line is attracting at
tention there and is being watch-
ed with considerable interest.
One writer points out the laws
the United States, Canada and
British India, and commenting on
the fact that the usefulness of
forests is now admitted, goes on
to say that the lack of suitable
forestry laws to prevent the
wasteful exploitation of the for-
ests will, if continued, witness the
total destruction of the immense
forests of valuable woods of the
republic. So far, the damage
done is comparatively slight. The
enormous lumber resources of the
country are with few exceptions
as yet practically untouched, and
the Argentine has a splendid OPP
portunity to show it's wisdom
and foresightedness in this mat
ter by taking action before it is
too late. The progress of the for
estry movement there will ce:-
tainly he watched with great in

The Glenwood post., 1908-03-21

A short time ago few farmers
of Eagle and Garfield counties
met i'm Glenwood and discussed
the matter of holding a district
fair next September in Glenwood
Springs. Several matters came
up for discussion, prominent
among which was the fact that
fairs heretofore held in Glenwood
had not met with the success
which the managers had desired.
1t was shown that there was yet
an Indebtedness of near 800 left
as legacy from the last board
of directors that undertook to
give us district fair. 1t was
stated. however, that arrange
ments were under way for taking
up this Indebtedness and starting
again with a white balance shee.,.
1t was the general consensus
opinion of that meeting that
Glenwood Springs and not Aspen
was the natural location for the
district fair. being centrally To-
Gated as to the producing Sec
tions of the three counties and
easily accessible from all points
of the district.

REPORT on 1RI-CouNIy FAIR

But it was stated that Glen
wood had heretofore failed to
make fairs pay, while Aspen had
twice made a success Of the fair.
This statement was questioned
by Mr.. Edgerton and others who
said that no one knew whether
Aspen had made a success of her
fairs or not, as there had been
but very meager report the first
year, while last year there was
no report at all.
1t was also claimed that the
Aspen fair officials should have
been present at the meeting as
they had been given notice Of the
meeting and invited to be pres
ent. This the Aspen people de-
ny and there you are.
AS to the report of the officials,
the treasurer's financial report
was published in the Aspen Dem.

ordinary interest to citizens Of
