Junction association, which handled
the great bulk of the crop. have not
been made out yet. Manager Moore
in a statement says:
I'VE have not yet made up an av-
erage of the various Kinds of fruit
but 1t is our opinion We Will average
for Elberta peaches:
Extra rs cents
Fancy 20 cents
Choice 60 cents
For other varieties of peaches,
from so to S5 cents: an average for
the whole crop, including unwrapped,
ripes, etc, of GO cents a box net to
the grower.
For apples: Fancy grade Ben
Davis. s1.15; Jonathans. Rome Beau
ties, Winesaps. s1.S5: other varieties.
$l.50; choice grade. from rs cents to
$1.15, owing to the variety.
Pears: Fancy. $1.75; choice,
s125.
Our total returns to the growers
should average something over 5000
per car"
No peach, apple or pear growing
section in the world can show such
average prices for such big shipments
or for even much smaller shipments.
Nearly all of the other associations
received splendid average prices, but
the pioneer and parent association
leads in average prices on nearly ev-
cry variety.
The Palisade Fruit Growers Asso-
citation received from so to 90 cents
per box on great quantities of fine
Elberta peach shipments.
Up to December / the Grand juno
tion Fruit Growers Association had
paid out in cash $4,000 to it's zoo
or more growers; and. when all the
returns are in. at lea $1,260, 1000
will have been paid out.
Manager Moore of the Grand juno
tion association, in discussing his as
sociation's shipments, says in part:
This has certainly been a great
year for the Grand valley. The ap-
pie crop was almost normal There
was good peach crop in the Palisade
district only; pears We're also only
about so per cent of a full crop.
IN my opinion, if we had. had a
full crop of pears and peaches in the
Clifton and Grand junction districts,
our shipments would probably have
been about $500 cars.
prices have also been very salts
factory, indeed, on all kinds of fruit.
Owing to the fact that the northwest
had very short crop of apples, the
dealers in boxed apples had to look
to Colorado for their supply this sea
son.
I'm my opinion, the growers in the
Grand valley-that is, the Palisade,
Clifton, Grand Junction and Fruita
territory, which is only 25 miles long
will receive net for this seasons IS
crop fully $1,750,000, and the entire
Western Colorado district about $3,-
100000 for this seasons fruit crop.
Add to this about s2,0OO,OO0 for su-
gar beets, potatoes and alfalfa: 1t
certainly makes great showing for
few small valleys, which, If all
were put together in one body, would
not make an average county"
Besides the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers Association, the biggest and
best equipped and best managed as
sociation of its kind in the country,
this county Is fortunate in having n
number of other splendidly managed,

who have charge Of the New Mexico
business, that our company is COM

Schwentker. "This year we will return
to the territory twice as much money
as We collect in premiums and while
our business has been EXTREMITY sue
C"ssful it will be more than ever 81
now that u company is getting in
close touch with the business inter
ests and development projects of the

three quarters OF a million dollars in

will write more accident business than

Lee A. Phillips. assistant general
counsel for the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company Of California, and
i. b.. Schwentker. general agent for
The company in New Mexico, have
just returned to the Albuquerque
headquarters after a weeks trip
through the Pecos valley. where they
awe been concluding some very i'm
p~ortant loans which the big Califor-
MIA company is placing in New
Mexico. These loans being the fore
inner OF others Of ven more inn
portance which viii be placed in the
near future. The loans being made
are Of very general interest since they
show conclusiyely not only the
strength of the Pacihc Mutual, but a
belief in the ana the future
of New Mexico which is very en-
eouraging.
The first large loan to be placed is
at Artesia, whore Mr.. Phillips con-

strong one; it has the backing not
only of the Methodist church but the
people of Artesia with characteristic
enterprise gave a bonus of $4,000 to
c u the institution. Its buildings
when complete wil be the finest edu-
eational buildings in New Mexico.
Mr.. Phillips is a man of wide ex-
%perienee in irrigated farming. and the
development OF irrigated lands, and
his approval of New Mexico's irri-
gated area is a very strong indication
of the recent advances which have
been made. 1t was Mr.. Phillips who
headed and directed the large area
of submerged land between Stockton
and San Francisco, now one Of the
most productive agricultural districts
Of the world. The work was a nam
moth undertaking, but was carried
out with signal success. Mr.. Phillips
made a million dollars for himself
and several millions for his associates.
Considering the area of the Pecos
valley, it is unsurpassed by anything
in the United States in irrigated
farming said Mr.. Phillips in dis
eussing his recent trip. 81 have been
wonderfully impressed with the OPP
portunities for development, not only
in this valley, but all over the terri

tory. We people have been looking
to the northwest and Canada for OPP
portunities for development, when we
have right here neal home more
natural advantages than can be
found anywhere in the northwest. I
have had but slight opportunity to
study the territory carefully, but what
/ have seen Of it has convinced me
that there is a very rich field for de-
velopment here. Pumping plans for
irrigation are going to prove just as
effective as artesian wells in the
Pecos valley. and with sue plants the
irrigated area there will be greatly
extended. Artesia and its surround
ing district is certainly a revelation.
Clovis is also a preposessing young
town. We placed a small loan there,
and it is my intention to return to
New Mexico within the next thirty
days to place from $4,000 to $780,
600 in additional loans"
