EARLY SELECTION IN BREED.

My advice would be Ia select ncNt

and sell all the balance especially the
toms People will allow wcakling tom
turkeys To wander about the farms,
seeming To forget that possible chance
mating ni these dcrclctS may ruin all
the eggs OF the season. Not single
tom should be kept in the turkey hncks
after Christmas that would not be con
Nldcrcd valuable inr breeding stock.
II THIS rule were applied rigidly each
year soon the yigor oi the tlocks would
be ;" improved A. To- surpri,. every
grower. In selecting breeding turkeys
never choose the diversified males OF

the small fruits are yet to be shipped.
These estimates certainly should
give every man and woman in the
valley ample cause for rejoicing. All
of these estimates are conservative,
In fact they may be too conservative
in some instances, they are not eX-
aggerated in one instance.
With 5000 carloads of fruit ship
ped out of this valley, with $500
shipped from Montrose, Delta and
other western slope fruit points, with
500 cars shipped from the Canon
City district and with the lighter
shipments from other districts, a
total of 5000 cars of fruit harvested
in Colorado this season may be ex-
pected.
The following letter mailed out
today by the Grand junction Fruit
Growers association gives the esti-
mates for the western slope districts
as compiled from most reliable re-
ports:
Office of the Grand junction Fruit
Growers Association. Grand juno
ton, Colo, July 20. 1909.
Dear Sir:
| We. have Investigated the condi-
tons all over Colorado pretty thor
oughly in regard to the prospective
fruit crop and il is our opinion that
there will go out from Western
| Colorado about:
$500 cars of apples.
1900 cars of peaches.
300 cars of pears.
100 cars of cantaloupes.
From Canon City. which is in
Eastern Colorado, about 500 cars of
apples.

was damaged by frost in April in

year any fruit district in the west
ever experienced.
The question naturally arises
What would the estimate of the crop
to be harvested in this valley this
year have been had not the large
majority of the orchardists employed
the smudging system, and saved their
crops and demonstrated to the world
that in the Grand valley fruit need
never be lost from frost damage.
Had no smudging been done it is
safe TO say that the total crop of this
valley would not have exceeded 500
cars If it had amounted to that much.
The 5000 cars that will be shipped
from this valley will not represent n
full crop for many orcharSiists did
not smudge and lost heavily from the
frost damage. However, 5000 ears
will represent the biggest fruit crop
ever harvested in this valley and by
far the biggest ever harvested in any
fruit section of twice the size of the
Grand junction section. anywhere in
the world.
The official report of the field
experts and orchardists shows that a
grand total of about 900 cars of
peaches will be shipped from this
valley alone. There will be a fine
crop of Elbertas in the Palisade dis
trict and very fair crop of these
peaches in the Clifton and Grand
Junction districts. The shipment of
Elbertas will begin to move about
August 20.
There will be about 90 cars of the
late varieties of peaches. These will
move in late September
| There will be about 80 per cent OF
a full crop of apples throughout the
valley. making the biggest apple
yield in the valleys history. Not
less than $500 carloads of apples
will be shipped. Jonathans will be
