Fruit Notes.
Items Here and There on Oul
Great and Growing Industry.

The evaporated apple market in the
East is quoted the lowest in years.
With its many other prize varities of
fruit, Delta county produces the most
luscious strawberries that are raised
anywhere, and this corp will be the first
in market.
Frosts are said to have damaged both
peaches and apples in Georgia and some
other Southern states last week.
Texas Elbertas are SO far reported safe.
Carolonia strawberries are also report
ed not damaged.
Delta fruit prospects continue good up
to the present, and while the danger
period is not entirely passed, there is a
firm belief among growers that the
season is likely to fulfill all that was
expected of it by producing record
crop.
Grand Valley is to double its acreage
of cantaloupes this season. Delta should
do the same thing, or more. A section
that can beat Rocky Ford product in
quality, should enter with spirit into
culture of SO delicious and valuable a
crop.
With the thousands of acres of bear
ing orchards now the pride of Delta
county, are being set additional thous-
ands of acres of young trees, which
tells some little of what magnitude
this wonderful industry will reach with
in few years.
The orchardists of the Southern
States are organizing Peach Growers
Exchange and discussing favorably the
system of preceding, by which it is
claimed that peaches will reach marke
in exactly the same condition they were
when preceded. This system has
been adopted by the Hartman lines of
railroad in California and is said to be
most satisfactory.
One of the greatest medical authorit-
who habitually eat apples experience a
feeling of exhilaration to which those
who do not eat them are strangers" I"
DR.. Dio Lewis, the well known lecturer
on hygiene had a saying, IAN apple a
day will keep the doctor away"
Apples are asserted by some of the
wise men to be the fruit plucked from
the tree of knowledge in the Garden of
Eden. Even grapes or the juice is not
as effective in clearing rheumatism
from the system as are apples and pure
cider. Spring is the time to cleanse
the system, apples are the superior
agent to accomplish the publication.

The Poultry Industry.

The poultry business in these valleys
seems to be one of their greatest sue
cesses. Nowhere can finer poultry be
found. The hens lay well and the
breeding and raising are an entire sue
cess Especially are the eggs produced
fine-large, full and fine in flavor. The
market price now for eggs is below the
average, being l5 cents per dozen. The
average price at Delta has heretofore
held well up to 20 cents. The fowls
may have on their boom clothes like
everything else and be OVERRIDING their

courts order had been violated expires

have served notice on the counsel for the
petitioner that they will ask the court to

1t is not considered likely that the mo-

oppose the motion. 1t was stated today
afternoon, and it is thought that the ex-
aminer will not have finished transcribing
his notes of the testimony in time for a

The hearing will probably consume sew

today that the court will be unwilling to
enter into a protracted hearing until the

The labor leaders are anxious for a

A big stock purchase took place yes
