In the matter of money paid to
a railroad company it is said that
Delta is second station station
in Colorado on express and fourth
in amount of freight.
This should entitle us to bet
ter station than we have. About
all we have in promise so far
this winter in railroad improve
ments at Delta yards is an in
crease of an ice house to one
thousand tons capacity. The lit
tie dinky shack of a station is no
better than possessed by the un-
important villages along the line
of the d. & r. G., with a wait
ing room not half large enough
to accommodate daily passen-
gers.

Improve the Ice Season.

In this we'll watered country every
ranch should have q supply Of ice for
summer. This promises to be a good
winter for ice, which is already of
good thickness, and the indications are
good that January will furnish an
ample crop. In any event it is good
idea to get in the supply when it can
be done, as warmer weather may come
on the latter part of winter.

Deyberry Growing in Colorado.

DeDberry CroDing in Colorado.
The average person scarcely knows
what dewberry Is, yet the fact re-
mains that few men are making COM
Portable incomes from small planta-
tions of this fruit.
The dewberry may be likened to an
overgrown blackberry, but it grows
upon trailing, vine-like cane. instead
of the upright cane of the blackberry.
The dewberry is by no means
adapted to all situations and localities.
1t has succeeded best in the higher
attitudes, but in localities where apples
are considered to be a safe crop. Such
surroundings are found in the Plateau
Valley, and it is here that the growing
of this fruit is becoming a speciality.
While dewberry canes are of trail
ing habit, no trellises need be used.
A better plan is to keep the canes
cut back to a length of about two
feet. They are thus made to assume
an upright form and vigorous plant
has the appearance of thrifty, low
growing bush. At the first pruning
the new canes are tipped when they
before the picking season begins theI
canes are pruned second time, and
this consists in cutting back the lat
erals to length of about two feet.
The following spring the plants are
gone over third time, when the old
~ h.
laterals are shortened.
Winter protection is afforded by
throwing a few shovelfulls of earth
over each hill.
When grown in this manner, the
plants are commonly planted five
feet apart each way. The cultivation
and irrigation does not differ from
that of raspberries.
The dewberry is very perishable;
therefore extreme care must be ex-
ercised in picking and marketing. The
berries must not be exposed to the
sun after being picked, and overripe
fruit will not bear transportation.
After the berries have been packed,
the crates should be placed in cool
place, where they may be dried to
slight extent by free circulation of
air. The car in which they are shipped
must be thoroughly ventilated. Iced
cars only increase the liability to mould.
A dewberry plantation IN good bear
ing will yield from three hundred to
four hundred crates of berries per acre.
The average price has been 50 25 per
crate at the shipping point. Assuming
the cost of production to be 81 25 per
crate. very high estimate, there re-
mains a profit of 81 on each crate, or "a
net return of from $500 to 800 per
acre,
As has been intimated. this fruit
does not succeed in all locations,
neither would all men be adapted to
the management of five-acre planta-
tion. Consequently. there would ap-
pear to be small danger Of the business
ever being overdone. Particularly is
this true of crop of such perishable
nature. Dewberry growing. therefore.
offers a certain income to the few who
will choose proper locations and who
are adapted to the work.
