FUTURE OF THE BUSINESS FOR
CAREFUL GROWERS SECMs
ASSURED.
(By W. Paddock. Colorado Agricultural
College.)

| The possibility of an overproduc-
tion of peaches in Colorado Is always
being considered by thoughtful grow
ers. 1t would seem at first thought
that with such a perishable product
and the distance to markets. the busi-
ness might easily be overdone, but
there is another side to the question.
In a former article the overproduc-
tion of Apples in Colorado was con-
sidered. and the conclusion was
reached that so long as we are COM
paratively free from most of the ap-
Pile pests, the perfection of our ap-
pies will always find for them a place
in the markets. The same line of
reasoning appears to hold equally well
for the peach.
In the first place the localities
where peaches can be grown at a
profit are few and the areas are COM
paratively small. There are but few
insects and diseases to bother, con-
sequently our fruit goes on the mar
kets without blemish. In contrast
to this we were Interested in inspect
ing some peaches from an eastern
state on the Denver market. These
were packed in an unattractive bas-
appearance of every peach was marred
by blotches of fungus growth.
The eastern and particularly the
southern growers are practically at the
mercy of brown rot. fungus which
is disease and it is responsible for the
| attacks the ripening fruits. There
Is yet no practical remedy for the
loss of much fruit each year. The
loss this season was heavy, due to
damp weather at ripening time. Then
there are numerous other pests which
not only destroy the fruit but attack
the trees as well. Last winter a grea
many acres of peach trees in tn
northeastern states were killed b
frost. All these things are discourag
Ing, and the result will undoubtedly
be that fruit growers will be conserva-
tive about extending their planta.
tions.
In the meantime the markets are
being extended as population increases
and fruit Is becoming more and more
OF necessity. Business methods are
also improving and railroad facilities,
SO far as Colorado is concerned must
soon be put upon a basis that will
compare with other sections of the
United States. One need not be
alarmed by the reports of vast tracts
or orchards being planted in the North
west. Much of this territory Is but
little above sea level, where the or
chard pests of the East have already
appeared. Then, too, pest experiences
have proved that for various Reasons
comparatively small per cent. of
,rees planted ever develop into nav.
ing orchards.
When we consider the above facts
1t would appear that those growers
who are careful in selecting good 10.

Rubber PLAYS a Part,

The increasing demand for rubber
makes the Congo State a center of in
-tfrest to the world But no one wants
rubber extorted by the lash and by
mutilation. No one believes that any
such system is necessary. 1t is a
mistake to think that the African
negroes are lazy, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. After their fashion they
arc eners->tic, but most of their labor
is wasted In vain efforts. 1t seems
reasonable that a mild and intelligent
administration will produce much
more rubber and will not only benefit
the natives, but cheaper the article.
The American concessions stand, and
these are vast, but they will be under
the supervision of the Belgian govern
ment and we shall have no more bru-
tality by wholesale. The Belgians are
an intelligent race. fully competent to
solve this great problem.

doubt, and If high prices for wheat be-
come persistent, an extensive wheat
acreage may be developed in old agri-
cultural regions that have abandoned
wheat for more profitable forms of
agriculture.

Ever since Adam was a bridegroom.

He looks like a long streak OF devil,

spots and streaks of unrighteousness
all the way down. He is as unsociable
as q cross-eyed hermit, and slippery as

no wonder that the reptile has SO

Denver.-The sovereign grand lodge,

Tuesday morning decided two of the
important matters that brought the
delegates together A deputy grand
sire, the only office for which there,
was a contest. was elected after one of
the most spirited and exciting sessions
seen in that body for many years
when Judge w. l.. Kuykendall of Wy
oming was honored by the high office.
Referring to his election as deputy
grand sire, Judge Kuykendall said: -
am thankful to the many friends whose
efforts made my election possible. !
appreciate the high honor conferred
and shall do all in my power to extend
the scope of Odd Fellowship"
The sovereign grand lodge selected
Seattle as the meeting place next year,
after Chicago had withdrawn from the
contest when it appeared that the in
vitation from the Windy City, although
backed by alluring promises, had no
endorsement of the Illinois I. o. o. F.
behind it.
The spirited contest for the office of
deputy grand sire occupied most of the
only session held Tuesday from 9: 80 a.
m. to 12: 80 p. m. At its conclusion the
officers and grand representatives sat
for group picture with Ell Jebel TEN
pie as the background.
The military council held short
session after 2 p. m. and made some
recommendations which will be passed
on later at this session by the sover-
eign body.
The day was an intesely interesting
one for the Rebekahs, both in business
and entertainment.
Three degree teams exhibited their
skill for prizes before the judges at El
Jebel temple and at both afternoon and
evening contests the hall was crowded
Entertainment consisted of an infor
NAL meeting at Ell Jebel temple in the
morning when musical numbers and
speeches by Rebekahs in praise of Odd
Fellowship were pleasingly blended.
Almost every Odd Fellow and Re
bekah attended some time during the
day an open house at headquarters on
Champa street. The reunion in the a,l.

grand representatives was a brilliant
affair, both musically and oratorically
