finished The towns in the section
north of Denver have grown fully up
to the ability of their territory to sup
port. and in many of them the busi-
ness situation is too crowded to be
probable. Land in that. section Is
rated about as high as it is in Delta
county and is dependent upon but a
part of what this county produces
in grains, grasses and sugar beets,
leaving out our fruits, which are sup
posed TO equal all the other products.
Besides Delta county is not annually
cut up and devastated by hail storms.
On this basis of reasoning land in
Delta county should be worth at least
double what land is worth around
Fort Collins. Then there are other
things to be considered. Delta coun-
ty is yet an infant in the matter of
real growth and there are openings
here to secure raw land or land in
the various degrees of Improvement.
These purchase offerings give the in
vestor n chance to see his land grow
in money value as he improves ii.
Delta county property is long way
from having reached the pinnacle of
market value prices, even high as
some of 1t is held. The man who
buys judiciously at this time and
holds for two or three years will find
this out.-From Delta Independent,
July 81, 1908.

The citizenship is of the best. Men
with families seeking homes where
ideal conditions existed. have sold
their possessions in eastern, northern,
southern and middle states and have
come TO these valleys to buy new
homes. Here the profits to reward
them and the moral. healthful, eQui-
BILE conditions of climate and neigh
borhood enticed them, and here they
intend to stay.
With such people progress is an es-
tablished motto; so, wonderful as has
been the Advancement made in years
that are gone. much greater things
are in store for the future, whnse
greatness no artist pen of the present
can picture.
Delta county is a land where five
and ten-acre tracts will eventually
constitute fortune.
Delta county is a land which will
become more and more an empire of
happy homes and prosperous people
Delta county is a land whose rich
soil will continue to amaze the world
with its manifold products.
In this favored spot education
prosperity, morality will continue to
guide the destinies of its population
to perfec; man and womanhood and
influence their lives to the best OF
citizenship. - Independent, Nov. 6

SUGAR BEETS ARE PROFITABLE
FEED.

Farmers are gradually gaining the
idea that little patch of sugar beets
is profitable for feed as well as to sell
to sugar factory. 1t is admitted that.
mixed with a small amount of grain
and hay, the beets can be fed, in guam
tity to supply stock owned, at much
better profit than the factory price
This is but one of the many education
al ideas of which the farmer must avail
himself in order to be equipped in
business way. Certain things are
adapted to farming for profit which
differ in every section of country, so,
with him study and planning and
practice are as constantly necessary
as they are with the man who is eN-
clusively in trade. Successful farm
ers make a successful town. for they.
in turn. constitute the successful mer-
chants most intelligent customers.
Either one would be. at least to an
extent. loser without the existence
of the other.-Delta Independent, Jan.

WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO DELTA

The thing that brings people to
Delta and 10 Delta county more than
to any other section. is the fact, grad

our district is favorec beyond others.
