Erlanger Is the strongest man In

REJOICE OVER PROSPECT
OF GOOD APPLE CROP
Canon City and Fremont County Not
So BADLY Hurt BY Frost As Was
First Thought.-An Official
Report

Francis Bachelor. of East Canon.
horticultural inspector for Fremont
county, who has Just made an inteIli-
gent and careful investigation of the
condition of the fruit in the Canon
City district, is satisfied that local
growers, as rule. have no reason to
complain, says yesterdays Canon City
Record. He visited between sixty
and seventy orchards and in none of
them found any cause for discourage
ment In an official report. which
the Daily Record has been permitted
to publish, Mr.. Bachelor says:
After devoting several DAYS to an
examination of the fruit prospects in
the orchards of Fruitmore, Lincoln
Park and on Four Mile, I am very
glad to state that there is a splendid
prospect for a fairly good crop of ap-
pies. While it is true that there are
orchards in some localities that have
not full crop, and some varieties of
apples are less promising than others.
yet. on the whole, the average show
ing is good. More apples will be
grown and marketed here this year.
barring unexpected contingencies,
than ever before in the history of the
community
The trees in general have made
an excellent growth during the last
two years, and a considera BILE num-
ber of new trees have come into bear
ing within that period. so that all
things considered we may confidently
expect a fine crop of apples of a
superior variety this fall.
Il find that some of our growers
have formed the opinion that the
crop will be very light this year. but
they have mostly reached that CON
clusion without making a careful ex-
animation. The extremely heavy foil
age has so completely hidden much of
the fruit that unless care has been
taken to pull down the branches, so
as to get good view of them. and
then have made careful count of
the apples, one may be easily mis-
taken as to the real amount of the
fruit on the trees. Another fact to
consider is that where the fruit is
thin on the trees that what there is
will be larger. of better quality and
in the end produce nearly as many
pounds of marketable fruit.
Some ranchers are saying that
Ben Davis and Gano are a light crop.
| believe that at picking time they
will be willing to concede that they
are mistaken and that faithful old
Ben is right close to the front rank 1
