Apple Growing in Colorado

Apple growing is now one of the sta
bic branches of fruit growing in Colo
RADIO and the Colorado Jonathan is
nearly as well known as the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe.
The following points in regard to thie
industry in Colorado will be of inter
est to the many people who are think
ing of investing in orchard lands.
The highest development in apple
growing has been attained in ~
counties of Fremont, Garfield, Mesa.
Delta and Montrosc. The largest areas
of orchard land yet to be developed
are perhaps in the counties of Montrosc
LaPlata, and Montezuma.
The price of orchard lands is var
able and depends upon the location,
character of the soil and the water
supply. Choice unimproved land, with
good water, may still be had for 800
an acre. Improved land in favorable
locations is usually higher. Apple or
chards in full bearing are commonly
considered to be worth $1,000 an acre
this price is often exceeded.
The average net returns from good
apple orchards, intelligently managed
will range from 5000 to $400 an acre.
Fifteen hundred dollars net returns
have been receiced from n single acre
and as large an orchard as forty acres
has brought the owner net income Of
$4,000 in a single season. While the
horticulture of Colorado is in its infan-
cy, commercially dating from 1880.
enough has been done to demonstrate

that we will soon be in the foremost
tion as to the stability of the business.
Is there danger of over production 2
We do not think so-not of first class
fruit. The distance from markets
makes it imperative that fancy fruit
lie produced; the inferior grades are
usually marketed at loss. But tht
conditions of soil. climate, and altitude
are such that frst-cass fruit is easy
TO grow. if intelligence is used. One
of the big advantages we have is the
fact that but few of the many orchard
diseases have appeared. Our fruit
growers have never used Bordeaux
mixture, and most of them do not know
what it is. We believe that this i'm
munity will, for the most part, be per
manent.
Our markets are world wide, as on
fruit is sent to all parts of the Unite9
States, from Boston to San Francisco.
to Mexico and is being exported to
Europe.
People from the East find it diff
cult to understand how it is possib'
for the Colorado fruit grower to realize
4 price of from one to two dllars bus
ell for apples. 1t is simply due to size
color, freedom from blemishes, an AT
| tractive package, and honest packing
| The distance from markets has forced
our growers into combinations Fruit
grwers' associations are in successful
| operation in all important fruit districts
A competent manager is employed who
looks after the sale of fruit and of tho
purchasing of the supplies which are
used upon the fruit farm. Thus the
grower may be relieved of all of the
burdens of marketing. The growinp
of fruit is complex business and Is
al that the average man should attend
to.
The outlook for the future in apple
growing is bright and offers special in
ducements to the man of small means
This is true, for the reason that five f.
ten acres of orchard well managed wi
produce a SPLENDID income Any ono
with capital enough to buy the lar
can plant the trees and have a pay
ing orchard in from six to ten year
time.

Destruction of Concrete by Allali

Cement has been found SO generally
ssrviceable and beset with SO few dis
advantages that its use is generally
recommended without any reservation.
and this confidence has been fully justi
fed with but few exceptions
Dr. w. p. Headden. chemist of the
Colorado Experiment Station has found
serious injury to cement tiles from al
kali. He reports as follows:
There We're sent to me some months
ago, a number of fragments of tiling
nine months. They had been disinte
Grated to such an extent that one OF
the samples was simply white, putty
like mass mixed with sand There was
nothing about this sample remotely sug
gestive of concrete. Another of the
samples consisted of fragment of the
tile. the interior portions of which had
been wholly decomposed, while there
still remained an outer and inner por-
tion in good condition or comparati
vely so. Another sample had been at
tackled n the outside of the zone of de
composition apparently sound The
line of decomposition was sharply limi
ted and showed distinctly, but even j.
this case there remained a thin layer
of cement on the inside.
l., %bnr tln n
running full of water or not; probably
not, as the fragments seem to be parts
of 16 or 1s-inch tile. The Importance
of this point is simply this, that it
would answer any question in regard
to the separation of solid alkali salts
on the portion of the tile above the
water line. That such separation OF
these salts should take place does not
seem very probable in this ease.
"'The point of attack, so far as the
samples at my disposal indicate, is
either in the center of the cement mass
or near the inner surface. In either
case we are almost compelled to assume
salts held in solution. At the same
time we see the resisting power of the
outside and inside surfaces, which art
evidently richer in cement than the in
ner portion of the mass of the tile.
Doctor Headden made a chemica
examination of the changes that had
occurred in the damaged tiles and re
ports his findings in Bulletin No. l32
Destruction of Concrete by Alkali. y
Every Colorado user of concrete
should send for this bulletin. which viii
be sent free, as long as the supply'last'
by applying to Prof. L. G. Carpenter
Fort Collins, Colorado.
The information is important as con
crete bridges, culverts, foundations
etc, are being erected in places wher'
they will be subjected to the deterio
rating action of alkali.

Report of Mail Service

At the end of the last fiscal year
June 80, l9os,) there were in opera
ion total of 61,1js postoflices in the
United States. according to the an
aual report of the first assistant post.
master general, made public lately. The
aumber of postmasters appointed to
presidential offices was 2,17I. whil6
,9+5 We're given commissions in tie
iourth class offices.
The policy of the department, it is
stated, in limiting so far as possibl
the average daily hours of service of
oostofiice clerks to eight and to have
only such work done on Sundays rs
| necessary to prevent delay in the
transmission of the mails and incon-
vcnicnce to the public has put thu
service practically on an eight-hour
basis, so far as the larger postofficc.
are concerned. In the ease of th"
smaller Offices, the report says, it r.
not always been feasible to establish
an eight hour schedule without in
creased expense owing to the late mail
To offset this the department has is-
sued instructions to postmasters to nj
low the clerks brief periods off duty at
times when mails are not being rc
ceived OF dispatched.
The fact that millions are appropri-
ated by congress for sites and struc
lures to be used for postofIice purpose
with the department having no voice
in the selection of the site or the de
signing and equipping of the building,
IS cause for considerable comment m
criticism.
"a convenient location. an intcric
arrangement planned with specia'
reference to postoffice needs. and
proper equipment are vital to IT,
prompt and economical handling of the
mails. - says the first assistant. More
over, the requirements of the large
postofiices with respect to location
and design differ so materially from
those of the other government estah
lishments usually housed in feder1
buildings that it is rarely feasible r.
place them under the same roof wi'
out disadvantage to the postal ser

OF special interest to the genera
public are the recommendation relai
ing to the extension and improvement
of the city delivery service Millions or
people residing in small towns, it is
stated are without any form of free

says, can be remelied by amending the
law so as to permit of the cstablis

Growing Barley in Colorado

Barley is adapted to most sections of
Colorado. 1t makes growth and rip
ems in fewer days than the other grain
crops This particularly fits it for the
dry lands of the plains, as the moisture
of the early spring is often sufficient to
mature fair crop before the summer
draugh Barley natures in the short
seasons of high attitudes.
The yield on the plains is from 10 to
40 bushels to the acre, depending large
ly upon earliness of seeding, prepara-
tion of the SOIL and selection of seed
Barley ripens in many sections OF
Colorado at attitudes as high as 9,0of
feet. In Gunnison county, on farm
at an altitude of $500 feet barley has
ripened every year without fail for
thirteen years.
In the lower irrigated sections, the
average yield per acre is 80 bushels,
and often runs as high as so to 100
bushels.
According to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, the average yield of bar
lev, per acre, in Colorado. for the past
Ave years, has been the highest of all
the states east of the Rocky Mountains.
