Appropriations for State
and Montrose Fairs,
But None for Delta.

The county board was asked by the
Delta Fair management to appropriate
$500 toward premiums, in order that
larger premiums might be offered.
This they declined to do on the advice
that they had not legal right to make
the special appropriation. In the same
session, however. they appropriated
$500 and $50 respectively TO cover the
expense of an exhibit from Delta coun-
ty at the state fair and Montrose fair.
Commissioner Wilson admitted that
they had perhaps no more right TO make
these two appropriations than the other
one asked for. The sticking point on
the first request was, perhaps, that
they did not feel like appropriating to
Delta unless they also appropriated to
the Hotchkiss fair. and did not wish to
give to both. The board also appointed
Fred Mcconnell of Delta and Arthur
Graham of Paonia to take charge of
the matter of a proper exhibit for Delta
county at the State fair.

Trout Spawn Shipped
to Foreign Countries.

DIR. ]. C. Mcconnell was up to the
Grand Mesa lakes this week and re-
ports that while he was there trout
eggs were being put up for shipment
as follows: 800, 900 to Italy, 600, 900 to
France, while an order was in for 300,-
600 to Japan. The superintendent told
him there We're more of such orders
than the United States could supply
this year.
This procedure should meet with Wig
orous protest If there was an over
supply, it would be different, but for
our own streams and lakes to be de-
populated in order to sell spawn to for
eign countries, appears so gross an i'm
position upon our own fisheries that it
is enough to make every sportsman
speak against it in indignant tones.
Trout fishing is one of our greatest
attractions and it is necessary that our
streams and lakes be constantly stocked
if it is to remain an attraction. All the
attention they can have from the gov
ernment hatcheries is necessary.

Good Marketing.

In no industry has greater progress
been made than farming, yet the field
is one where something is always to be
learned.
In Fruitland the Frost King has been
met and subdued by the simple and in
nocent looking smudge pot. Insect
pests have been driven away or de-
stroyed by scientific methods of spray
ing. In the fields sugar beets are grow
ing. giving us our sugar manufactured
at home. Grains have been improved
and potatoes made to grow smooth and
all of one size and that size just right
for one mans portion at the table.
Every line shows progress, even to
marketing the different products of or
chard and farm, but in the last there
is still much room for advancement.
First the products of farm and or
chard must be put in best condition to
sell for the best price obtainable, then
effort should be made to find the best
of the markets for each particular pro-
duct.
There are wealthy people in every
city and every land who are willing to
pay fancy prices for fancy goods, often
two or five times the regular price.
Why does wealthy lady pay $40, ,0o0
for a gown? Is it because the material
and making are worth thhat sum? Not
at all. Just so with other things.
Even the plebean potato has been Sc
lected and each potato wrapped in paper
like fruit and shipped from Colorado to
millionaires in Eastern cities. What
they brought we do not know, but
doubtless ample to well pay for the
careful packing and obtaining the or
der. The same applies even more fully
to fruit packing and selling.
And one of the good things resulting
from it is that it is doing away with
much of former dishonesty. The day
of the berry box with the bottom in
the middle and the apple and peach
boxes with culls up to the top row. will
be thing of the past, or else those
who foolishly practice such thievery
! will be ruled with their goods from the
markets.

An Interesting Scene in Della County.

and Storage Co. have offered to give
storage absolutely free. By this ar
rangement any fruit grower who con-
templates the exhibition of a carload of
apples will be presented with the equiv

Colorado cannot afford to lose the

growers will be to blame should they

be held and trust that those who have
subscribed will pay promptly and those
who have not will hurry to do so.
1t will be big ad for Paonia if she

scribing, let her be also first in paying.

President Taft viii VisH
Della and Monfrose.

The announcement received just be-
fore going to press that President Taft
will visit Montrose about September
23rd, and that he will stop off at Delta,
deserves much more prominent display
and mention than the INDEPENDENT is
able to give it in this issue.
President Taft's assured attendance
at the tunnel opening will add thous-
ands to the visitors on that day.
Because of the date given it will
cause the celebration to be held earlier
than the date formerly agreed upon.
The Delta independent., 1909-07-23

Ii seems now fairly well settled that
President Taft will visit this section at
the Tunnel Opening. A telegram from
Congressman Taylor this week stated
that Mr.. Taft's secretary informed him
pressure was being brought to induce
the President to increase the time of
stay in Colorado to four days, and that
there was little doubt in the matter of
his being able 10 visit the Western
Slope In the event, however. it may
be necessary to change the date of the
tunnel celebration and fair at Montrose.
so as to accommodate the date to that of
the Presidents visit. which is likely
to occur little earlier than the date
already decided upon. may throw the
Montrose and Grand Junction fairs at
the same time.
Denver has already announced that
ntbe President will be at their Inter
Z State fair ON its closing day to partici-
pate in the Carnival of Nations.
President Taft will be big feature
either at Denver Fair or the Tunnel
Celebration, and the latter really has
the stronger claim to his presence be-
cause of his interest in the great gov
ernment project.
Those in charge OF the celebration
arrangements at Montrose now claim
definite pro. nise that the President will
be there on opening day.
