Stock the Trout Streams.

Glenwood claims that there are a
million trout minnows at the hatchery
there, ready for distribution in the
streams of Colorado. Well, get them
out. They are needed badly enough to
restock all the principal trout streams
and the commission ought to see that
they are fairly distributed and well
placed. Trout fishing is one of Colo
RADIOS greatest drawing cards and the
stocking of streams is the object of the
hatcheries. That not enough attention
is given to it, seems pretty plain. 1t
is claimed that there is no regard to
screening at the lakes on Grand mesa;
that the trout are allowed to escape
into the irrigation bitches and that
soon there will be no fishing in those
hundred splendid lakes even with So
called government hatchery at the
point. A like degree of carelessness
over the state will soon take from Colo
RADIO her chief and most attractive
sport. There is room in her waters for
all the fish the hatcheries can turn out,
without selling by the rpillions, young
trout to foreign nations

Would Conserve Interests
and Keep Money
at Home.
With Factory in Delta, an Album
dance Of Beets Would Be Pro-
duced.--Unwananted
Opposition.

The Olathe Criterion recently stated
that "Delta had built another sugar
factory on paper; that factory would
be built for this part of the Slope when
there were beets enough grown to re-
quire it; that the way to get factory
was for everybody to go to raising
beets, raise SO many that factory
would be necessity; that at present
there were about enough beets grown
in this valley to supply factory for
a week." etc. That sort of talk doesn't
even sound good to US. Within a radi-
is said to be about 8, 500 acres of sugar
beets grown. This year the crop is
pronounced extra heavy, though the
average has been good every year. A
few years ago, when capital sought the
fields in the northern sections of the
state, farmers were asked to contract
to grow 5000 acres of beets. Would it
be very hard matter to induce our
farmers to grow an additional 1,500
acres of beets to get factory? Isn't
it more likely that, without even con-
tracing to do so, they would, for the
profit there is in the crop, seed much
more than that amount? If we have at
present even 5000 acres of beets yield
ing conservatively 20 tons per acre,
that would figure up $4,000 tons, or a
four months steady run for a 5OO-ton-
a-day factory.
But that isn't all of the argument.
We want home factory for the ad-
vantages it would bring US. Continuing
to wait and send your stuff away from
home for the bcnefit of other towns
and other communities, never yet helped
the home community to prosper.
The time has come when the surround
ing country can grow enough sugar
beets to supply and-tons-per-day
factory.
1t is question of getting these things
or letting them alone; question of try
ing for their benefits or quietly permit
ting Grand Junction to continue to work
up what we raise.
You can call it building on paper or
what you please, the INDEPENDENT will
go right along in its efforts to induce
capital-at home. or abroad-to build
sugar factory at Delta.
The field is ripe here for beet
sugar factory and conditions generally
are favorable.
This is saying to capital and all inter
ests concerned, all that it should be
necessary to say.

Apple Growers Of Delta County

What price did you get for your
apples last season? We're you satisfied?
Do you prefer giving the speculator a
big profit or keeping and getting it
yourself?
We believe you are entitled to full
value of your crop. You never receive
this from cash buyers. We believe
that you will agree with US that your
fruit should be so marketed that it will
gain a permanent reputation with the
trade of the various markets so that
they will call for your brand every
year. We advertise them extensively.
We offer you the most effective mar
keting organization in existence in the
Fruit World today. We reach every
carlot market throughout this country
and abroad that can use your fruit at
full market and outside values. The
Colorado Fruit Growers Association
will market their output through us.
demonstrating to the Growers of Delta
County that the net returns will be
the very largest of any prices procured
by any other medium this entire season.
Call up. interview, or write The
Colorado Fruit Growers Association.
Delta, Colorado, branch at Saxton,
concerning large advances which they
make. In addition to these advances,
immediate returns are made on all cars
as soon as promptly sold. so that the
grower does not have to wait at all for
full proceeds. The services of 7. 7.
Gwin Jr., representing Crutchfield q
Voolfolk, are always at the command
of any or all growers. Write for valu-

Colorado. which, in area, covers fully
one half of the state.
1t is a very nice plum for Mr.. Baird,
not alone being looked upon as per-
sonal honor, but recognition of Delta,
in as much as it brings the census
headquarters of the Slope, attached
to which are some of the central coun-
ties, to this city, a matter of sufficient
Importance that all may rejoice in its
accomplishment.
Mr.. Baird has had some experience
in handling census matters and is un-
doubtedly well qualified for the position
of supervisor. In making application
for the appointment Mr.. Baird had
letters of Endorsement from all of the
county chairmen of the counties COM
prising his district.
The preparatory work for the 1910
census will begin in November of this
year. The enumerators will begin
taking the census in April.

Look Out For Home.

Every dollar kept at home is added
to the wealth of the home community.
Every additional dollar which can be
produced in a community increases its
capital to build upon and make other
dollars A small thing like canning
factory would add several thousand
dollars per year to local wealth; an
alfalfa mill would do the same; a cigar
maker could employ a man or two; a
factory to manufacture the fruit boxes
and baskets needed would be wealth
producer; a beet sugar factory would
add hundred thousand dollars or more
to our circulating home money. And
there are doubtless many other things
to fall in line. More hogs could be
raised and our bacon, lard and hams
supplied at home instead of being
shipped in.
1t doesn't require clear-sightedness
to comprehend what it would soon mean
to have all of these things. 1t is plain
to the dullest mind. Thousands of
people would be added to the population
ard they would all be needed. Their
wants would call for business attend
ants. hundreds Of additional buildings
would be needed and city growth would
force itself day by day. reaching beyond
present comprehension.
Is it better 70 try to get these things
or to contentedly remain a village, with
the villagers fate, to live and toll
merely that others may grow and
prosper?

Apple Prices Higher
Than Was Expected.

From present indications orchardists
are going to get better prices for apples
than they expected. Report says that
one grower has sold the entire product of
his orchard first. seconds and thirds
at s1.30 per box on board cars, which
means cash on delivery of his crop.
The fact that buyers are making these
high prices SO early in the season, on
contract offerings, may mean. either
that the general supply for the United
States and Europe is short. or that
more than the usual effort is being put
forth by the cold storage combinations
in the cities to corner and hold the sup
ply under control. In either case it
means top-notch prices for the farmers
and that the fruit is to be a luxury to
consumers.

Exhibits Are Superior to Those Of
Any Preceding Year.
Attendance Large and Great Interest Mani
fested.--Weather Ideal.--Many Reasons
for Our People to Feel Proud
Of This Splendid Fair.

The fair at Delta which has pow been
in progress for two days and will close
TODAY, is. from the statement of wit
pesses and old residents, considerably
the best the county has ever had.
This applies to the exhibits and ex-
cellent amusement programs. The at
tendance is not what it should be from
the county at large, due mainly to the
very busy conditions of farmers and
fruit growers, many of whom hnd II
entirely impossible to spare any time
whatever from their harvest. Particu-
larly is this true of sections where the
peach harvest is in full blast.
The attendance the first day was less
than a thousand. but that was rather
to be expected. On the second day the
crowd was considerably more than
doubled, and today is expected to wit
ness the largest of any previous day S
attendance.
But the Fair is a success in all ways.
and ii is to be hoped will prove self
supporting. The exhibits are worth
coming for long distance to see. and
will do much to advertise Delta county q
products and resources.
The weather has been ideal and the
track has been in fine condition for the
speed contests. all of which are being
pulled off according to program.
While Delta and Delta county may
well feel proud of this splendid Fair, il
might be timely to offer a suggestion
or two at this time regarding future
fairs and the best dates to hold them.
Two weeks later. the last Of September
or first Of October, with the Fair to
close on Saturday instead Of Friday

Light Frost Monday Night.

In Delta there appeared just little
frost Tuesday morning, while from
many sections none at all was reported.
Certainly no damage was done. Snow
fell at many of the mountain points,
ranging in depth from a few inches to
a foot Sunday night. At Telluride a
foot of snow was reported and the wires
were down uuder their weight. Some
snow fell on both sides of our valleys,
in the Escalante hills and on the sum-
nit of Grand Mesa. In Illinois heavy
frosts were reported the latter part of
last week.

FAIR NOTES.

Some of the best of the races will be
pulled Off today.
The crowd yesterday afternoon was
almost a record breaker.
DR.. and Mrs. Hunter got the girI
baby prize under two years old.
The parade of decorated autos and
vehicles this afternoon should not be
missed.
The stock show of cattle. horses and
hogs is good. The poultry display is
also fine.
Whole volumes could be writer
about the displays, but time and space
are both limited this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Chiles won the
prize in the baby show Monday for the
finest baby under one year old.
There have been people from al
parts of the county at the FAIR this
week and all appeared to enjoy them
selves.
The display down and up stairs in
Exhibition Hall is quite enough to es'
tablish the high reputation of any
county as well as that of its various
classes of producers.
The open air dance on Main street OF
nights, on canvas spread far the dane
ers and under the soft glow of cluster
of electric lights, to the sweet strains OF
an orchestra is an interesting sight

Large Wheat Farming
For Della County.

DR.. ]. E. Mcconnell of Delta is going
to temporarily give up the practice of
medicine for farming and will put in
800 acres of wheat up near Eckert this
fall.
That sounds like the real thing in
farming on big scale and the Doctor
will be regarded as true captain of
industry" The location is good, how.
ever, and wheat is pay crop. Be-
sides the grain is needed for our mills,
too little of it having been heretofore
raised.

What Reclamation of
Western Slope Land Means.

Reclamation of Western Slope land is
not an experiment.
The producing valleys and the mesa
lands which are today, in the most
marvellous manner, yielding fortunes IN
grains, fruits, sugar beets and vege-
tables are reclaimed lands, improved by
years of effort.
Reclamation here means, first, water
on the soil, and that simple but valu-
able combination, in our sunshine,
forms the basis of the most wonderful
production recorded in the history of
any land.
But merely getting water on the sol
does not provide an improved or highly
valuable farm. That must be made
year by year, and the better improved
the land becomes the greater must be
its value.
1t is true that some of this new land
has yielded S35, $50, and small lots per-
haps slO0 or $500 per acre in first
years crop of sugar beets, grains, po-
tatoes, vegetables or melons; but, it is

also true that the bearing orchard
which may have taken ten or fifteen
years to bring to its perfect state, is
capable of producing $500 or 81 900 per
acre in full crop 1t is further fact
that the land itself, when well inn
proved, may increase in value from $50
or SIS an acre to any range between
$500 and 5000 per acre. Highly I'M
proved orchard land on the Western
Slope has sold as high as SO, 1000 an acre
during the past year. At such price
a mans 20 acres would represent a
pretty good sized fortune and is well
worth struggle of ten or fifteen years
to improve.
That sort of opportunity is what
reclamation has been proven to mean
on the Western Slope. 1t does not
mean so much to all of the land, natur-
ally, but it does mean just that to the
most accessible and more fertile por-
tions OF it. With the growth of popu-
lation, increased transportation facili-
ties and better general development, il
will mean even more than can now be
said
Here a man does not want land
enough to inspire neglect or to confront
him with an impossibly expensive prop
osition of improvement. The small
farm, well improved and carefully culti-
waited is going to be the fortune maker
of the future.
