Some of the Oregon cherry growers
have taken up the business OF drying
cherries instead Of canning them. THIS
season the growers sold all the chse-
ries they could and then offered the
local canneries more than could be
timed during the season. With cher
ries still going to waste the growers
tried the experiment Of drying the
fruit and It was found feasible. After
the cherries are seeded and spread out
in the hot sun the process 10 simple
and quick and some varieties have .
flavor quite like raisins when the Cur
ing process Is complete. Our sun IL
hot enough to do this work but ye
have not yet arrived at that stage In
the game when we have an overplus
Of cherries for all that we grow are
required for shipment and the busi-
ness Is growing every year.

EVERY FRUIT GROWER
INlCOUNTY UReED TO
MAKE EXHIBIT At FAIR
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Do you know Mr. Fruit Grower that
the Fremont County Fair is only four
weeks away?
Do you know that the premiums Off
cred in the fruit department are the
most liberal offered by any county or
district fair in the statef
Do you know that the coming dis
play now promises to be the largest
ever made in this county?
Do you know that one Of the most
competent fruit judges in the state
will make the awards?
Do you know that prizes OF $40,
$12 and s. are offered for the best
three individual displays from ranches
of five acres and over and the same
from ranches under five acres. Also
:$S as first prize on five fall varieties
of apples and 81 on best box of both
fall and winter apples?
Now the fruit committee, as we'll as
all the fair officials, are very anxious
to call out the very best display pos
slole' anII to that end. solicit the help
or every fruit grower in the county,
as there is not a single grower but
can add something of value to the dis
play.
The individual displays referred to
above are a special feature of our
fair and we hope to see a score or
more competitors in This class. When
selecting specimens for exhibition get
all the color possible, also size, II you
can, but remember that smooth, even,
we'll matched plates will generally
please the Judge better than one OF
larger size but not so well matched
up and uneven in color. BY all means
pick with care and avoid bruises, loss
OF stems. etc Probably more apples
are disqualified in the show room
from loss Of stem than any other one
cause. Do not polish your fruit. 1t is
against the rules and really the nat
ural bloom of the fruit is more at
tractive than anything you can add.
II you have not already done so call
dt ohCc oH tAe SSCIttdTy, w. d. now
land, for a cop Of the premium list
Read 1t carefully. decide what you can
do to help swell the exhibits, and
make your entries as early as pos
sible. Let me urge everyone to make
special effort to save all the fall
fruit as 1t ripens, as, owing to the
early date Of our fair. we will need all
the ripe fruit possible to add color
to the general exhibit Either hold in
cold storage which is offered free by
the Crystal Ice Co.

10 UPHOLD COLORADO

For many years Colorado's wealth
has been supposed to be dug out OF
the ground In the form of precious
metals.
or late years II has became known
that some wealth Is dug out Of the
ground Of the Centennial State In the
form Of potatoes. while more comes
out In shape OF fruits and melons.
It is the intention of W. H. orin,
vice-president for Colorado Of the
National Corn association. to show
that in grains and grasses Colorado
surpasses any other state and the
wealth taken from the fields annually
makes a pile Of wealth taken from the
mines In pot luck" days look small.
Mr.. OlIn has sent ont . letter to
hundreds OF farmers and those inter-
ested in other lines Of agriculture. ap-
pealing to them to assist IN winning
honors for Colorado at the National
Corn Exposition to be held In Omaha
December 10 10.
I'VE won second place In one OF the
wheat classes OF Omaha last year"
says Mr.. Olin. "This was against the
greatest wheat growing states In the
world. We believe Colorado 10 one Of
them. especially after having our
wheat milled and baked along with
other samples. and winning second
place. This year We should try and
get many hrst premium on our grains
and grasses"
More than $4,000 In premiums viii
be offered again this year; over 81 800
In the Colorado Glasses, While Colo
RADIO may compete against the world
for from $4,000 to $4,000 In trophies
and cash prizes.
Mr.. Olin believes Colorado will
make such . good showing In oats.
that he proposes the growers Of tho
state put up an oat trophy to be
awarded TO the grower Of the bsst
oats In the world. And he 10 conndsnt
that Colorado farmers will bring Il

Many methods OF marketing fruit
are in vogue. We have many growers
who like 70 sell the fruit TO the buyer
on the tree. to be picked by the grower
and packed by the buyer; the former
hauling the empty boxes to the ORCH
ard and the full boxes TO the cara.
Sometimes the buyer will contract the
whole orchard but moro often he takes
only the grades ~ sorted by his own
packers. n sold by the boz the buyer
takes all the marketable fruit both
ones and twos, while the culls are
thrown out as they ought to be. This
season with apples plentiful. the
grower will have to be content with
a reasonable price for the fruit and
n higher grade than for several sea-
sons past. With apples OF superior
quality. however. there will be but
little trouble in reaching an agree
ment about the grade. but this should
be well understood between the grow
err and the buyer and put into the CON-
tract to save trouble in the future. II
this ia not done the grower who has
made a nne sale in the beginning OF
the season may hnd that the buyer is
insisting upon q very rigid interpro-
tation OF the contract and his sale may
fall through. Especially may this b.
the case n the price Of apples should
decline instead OF advancing before
or during the picking season.
