We have not been boasting any
about Plateau fruit, thus far, because
We wanted first to learn exactly how
conditions are, that no one would be
misled by our statements.
We can now state positively that.
in most sections of the valley, there
will be nearly a full crop of apples,
only that section near Mesa being
somewhat damaged on account of it
being week or two earlier than the
higher parts of the valley.
Not only will there be plenty of
apples, but in many orchards the ap-
ricots. plums, peaches and cherries
will have crops ranging from one
fourth to two-thirds full.

The Grand Junction team went up

FARMERS UNION
GETTING BUSY

Jackson, Miss, May IL. The
erection of cotton ware houses
or arrangements therefor by the
Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union, while not so
general as was the case a year
ago. is still being heard Of and
there will be several new. organ
izations and ware houses ready
foraholding surplus cotton by
next fall. In the progressive
and prosperous county of Noxu-
bee the union is taxing active
steps and a meeting is scheduled
to be held in Macon this week,
the purpose of which is to decide
on the location of a county union
ware house. The Macon Beacon
is heartily endorsing the move
ment in every issue, and declares
that if the city does not meet the
opportunity offered:by the Farm
ers' Union it will be necessary
for a warehouse to be built thr-
ough other means, provided the
business men desire to be a fac
tor in the handling of cotton in
Noxubee. It has been seen that
practical benifits have followed
the establishment of such enter
prises elsewhere, and it is figur-
ed that if one community is ben
fitted thereby, the same chances
are opened to others.
