Deuberries.

A dewberry plantation. in good bear
ing, will yield from 800 to 400 crates of
berries an acre. Mr.. Baldridge s patch
set on four and one-half acres of
ground, but with enough plants for
five acres was set in 1903. In 1904 1t
yielded 125 crates of berries: in 1905,
l,SO0 crates; in 1905. 1900 crates, and
in 1907, 1000 crates. 1t would probab-
ly be hard to give satisfactory esti.
mate of the cost Of production of dew
berries. The crate costs the grower
27 cents. and picking 35 cents a crate,
plus probably 5 cents for overseeing and
Grating the fruit. Estimating the cost
of production at 81 a crate, this would
leave 25 cent? crate for other work.
With yield of $50 crates an acre, this
would mean an allowance of $50. so for
other labor, irrigations, cultivatine.
pruning. covering. etc. Possibly this
is not high enough; but granting that
the cost Of production is 81. .25 a crate,
which is surely high enough, the grower
still nets return of 81 crate. At
present the average price paid for dew
berries has been $225 a crate, (. O. b.

Emerson said: "The man
who can write a better book,
preach a better sermon or make
a better mouse trap than his
neighbor, though he builds his
house in the woods the world
will make a beaten path to his
door.
The above could be made a
text upon which volumes could
be written. 1t is one of those
gems which can be read, then
thought about for hours after
wards, then re-read and thought
upon again. To excel and also
be practical is the special ad-
monition. The man who can
build the best mouse trap is
placed upon the same plane of
world-fame record as he who
can write the best book or
preach the best sermon. The
world demands merit and the
man of whatever line receives
its recognition according to the
manner in which he does his
work.

the insect was discovered in menacing
numbers upon the San Isable National
Forest in southern Colorado. As the
result of 1908 depredations. nearly 200
yellow pine trees. practically in solid
body, were dying The timber was
not damaged for commercial purposes.
but the local market was not such as
to induce any one to handle the PROPOSE
ton of cutting the trees for lumber
The trees contained larvae of the bee
tie, which, If all matured. would have
been sufficiently numerous to have sue
,ssfully attacked several thousand
trees during the SINNER Of 1909. I'm
mediate action vas necessary to de-
stroy the larvae before the warmth of
spring drove them from their burrows
beneath the bark A force of men
was employed to work under the
direction of a Forest ranger, and the
greater part of the trees were cut, be-
fore the snow left the ground. The
bark was peeled from the trunks for
an average distance Of twenty-five
feet per tree. exposing the tender lar
vac to the cold and drying influence OF
the air. The peeled logs were then
sawed for mine props. to be disposed of
later. if possible. The actual value of
these logs is slight in comparison with
the value of the timber which might
have been killed in future years had
the drastic action not been taken.
There is every reason to believe that
the iDfestation will cease to exist, and
that. in addition. the expense to the
Government will be repaid in the sale
of the "sterilized" logs.

Every man on a farm is de-
pendent upon prosperous towns
for a market. This is made plain
to every tiller of the soil in this
section when he goes to market
his product. If it was not for
the good Western Slope towns
like Delta, Montrose, Hotchkiss,
Paonia, Ouray, Telluride and
dozen others, much of the farm
ers fruit, vegetables, hay and
other stuff would go to waste for
lack of a ready market, while
the balance would be handi-
capped by its entire dependence
upon a foreign market. Natur-
ally the benefits are identical.
The towns prosper only when
the people prosper upon whom
they are dependent for trade.
There should always be the
greatest confidence possible be-
tween town and country, and
whenever the time comes that
confidence and cooperation shall
be based upon a full understand
ing of the interests of each, all
will be gamers. The farm should
boost for the town and the town
should boost for the farm.

RACING AND RACE GAMBLING.

AS ONSA ARhA0 0SSo al A)SAA VI
were declared off, on the an
nouncement from the district
attorneys that no gambling
would be allowed and that any
one making bets would be ar
! rested and prosecuted.
In New York the races are to
be held on their merits without
the betting feature.
While the elimination of gam
bling at race courses will take
much of the vim out of the sport
to many, gagged by popular
feeling it would seem to be the
right thing to do.
Gambling has grown in dis
favor until it is coming directly
under the strict ban of the law
everywhere, and race gambling
has been one of the worst and
most vicious classes permitted.
If the race-mad fool was the only
victim it would not matter so
much. but a horde of poor clerks
and others are drawn to the
races and broken as quickly and
completely as they would be to
go up against the brace faro and
roulette games which a vigorous
enforcement of law have in the
past few years almost wiped out.
The gambling feature of the
races encouraged fakeing and
fixing them as the racing circles
might wish, until they became
almost as rank a swindle as
loaded dice or the elusive pea,
and the same is nearly true of
the prize ring game.
Gamblers always have and
always will, or at least so long
as they are permitted to operate,
arrange for as big a percent in
their favor as possible. The
public, betting against their
game constitutes their graft and
the money of the sucker is their
profit. Thus, instead of the
racing sports and prize ring
sports being always on merit
of speed or strength. they
descend almost to the level of
the gambling dive of the city.
1t will be a great step forward
if these so-called sports can be
elevated to a plane of respecta-
bility and made sufficiently safe
for those who really enjoy them
to 60 and witness speed and
strength contests without either
being compelled to take a guard
ian along or wear fishooks in
their pockets.

LOW ESTIMATE OF
FRUIT CARS REASON
OF 0l0 SHORTACE

Denver Special 10 Pueblo Chieftain.
There are always two sides to a
story. Sometimes there are four after
II has been told often enough. But
III this cage there are two good sides
TO the story OF the car shortage in
this state. which amounts to $500
cars for fruit shipping purposes.
About three months ago the rail
roads asked the growers. the frsit
companies and In fact everyone CON
nected with the fruit industry for an
estimate as to how many refrigerator
cars would be needed to handle the
fruit from Colorado.
An estimate was given and already
one and three-Quarters times that estl-
mate has been furnished. The rail-
roads have furnished IFS for every 100
cars estimated and II will require an.
other 1875 cars for every 100 estimats 81
to handle the fruit.
In other words Coiorado's fruit and
melon crop gathered In September
and October was three times as large
as the fruit growers and fruit ship
pers estimated that It would be.
This liz the reason given by the rail.
roads why they are not furnishing the
ears. They made arrangements at the
start for SO many and 1t Is hard to
get them now The result is that with.
out doubt the state will lose at least,
1000 carloads of melons and fruit by
reason OF spelling.
