Delta Automobile Club
Will Help Improve Roads.

Delta, April 24.-The Delta Auto
mobile Club Is preparing to do
great deal of work on the roads in
this vicinity, and will keep two men
constantly employed during the year
removing stones, repairing culverts
and doing other necessary work, in
addition to the force employed by
the board of county commissioners.
Forty new automobiles have been
shipped into Delta this spring, and
the membership of the club has been
greatly enlarged. The state will
also be petitioned to spend share
or the fund devoted TO road i'm
provement in Delta county.
The commissioners of Delta and
Mesa counties have held several con-
ferences to discuss the building of
an automobile road between Grand
Junction and Delta. The Delta COM
missioners have agreed to put the
existing road in good condition from
the county line to Delta. and it is
expected that mesa will make sim
liar arrangement. If the road can
/ be fixed for automobiles, it will take
tourists through some very attrac-
tive scenery on a fifty one mile
drive-Pueblo Chieftan.

Blizzard of Past Week Swept
Fruit Crops of More Than
a Dozen Great States.
Calamity to Sections Visited, But
Western Slope Growers Will
Reap Unheard-of Advan-
tages in High Markets.

Michigan loss $40, 100000. Indi-
ana and Illinois s5,OOO,OOO each.
Wisconsin and other states from
three to five million each. Kansas
s5.O0O,OOO.
The above is the way press reports
figure up the fruit losses in the Mid
die West. North and East, where a
blizzard and snow storm of great
severity swept the country the latter
part of last week and first of this.
Such a calamity has rarely come
to the country in past history, con-
cerning so great a part OF its area.
H. Colorado, and particularly this
section of the Western slope. the
weather during the same period and
covering all the days since. has been
unusually warm for the time of the
year. fully as warm as is expected
the latter part of May or the first
of June. and if nothing further hap
pens to damage the crops, Delta
county promises splendid fruit
yield. What has happened in other
states will undoubtedly make fruit
prices the highest in all the history
of this country.
Under such conditions. if fruit
land in Delta county is high now,
what will it be in six months from
now?
In the south the cotton is all re-
ported killed and the crop. though
laSeg viii be planted over, or as
much Nof it as seed can be had for.
All the cotton seed oil mills have
been stopped, and their supply of
seed will be distributed among the
farmers for re-planting
There was snow and sleet down
as Jar as Atlanta. Georgia. The loss
in crops to the south is estimated
at $3.50. 900, and is said to be
since the civil war.

Delta Orchards Being Photo
graphed in Bloom, for Ex-
hibition Far and Wide.
Latest Discoveries in Photography
to Be Applied.---Results Will
Be Shown at |. O. O. F.
Hall, Monday Night.

Delta orchards are to be advertised
in a novel way throughout the east.
and their beauties shown to thous-
ands of people during the coming
year, as a result of the efforts of the
Business Mems Association.
Stanley M'Ginnis. one of the dis
coverers, and now the principal ex-
ponent of the new process of taking
photographs which produce with alb
solute fidelity all of Natures colors,
will spend the next two days in the
country around Delta, taking pic
lures of orchards in bloom, and other
attractive scenes. The new process
is one for which photographers have
been striving for the last half cen
tury 1t reproduces every tint per
fectly, and has excited the wonder
and admiration of artists all over
the land. 1t should not be confused
with the old style photographs col
ored by hand, for it is as superior to
these as oil painting to cheap
chrome
Mr.. M'Ginnis will exhibit these
pictures of Delta in all parts of the
United States during the next year,
giving an appropriate description in
his lectures. The advertising that
will thus be gained will be extremely
valuable In order to defraf the ex-
penses of the work, the Business
Mems Association has arranged for
lecture to be given by Mr.. M'Gin-
mis- in Odd Fellows hall next Mon
( day evening at O'Clock. II will be
! illustrated by a large number of
stereoptican views which Mr.. M'Gin-
mis- has taken all over the Country.
The lecture and views were the
principal attraction on the Orpheum
vaudeville circuit last year. and
have been received enthusiastically
all over the country. 1t is free
from technicalities and interesting
to everyone. In order that the hall
may be packed, the admission has
, been placed at 25 cents.

Nj. Cook. S. Arthur Johnson of the
State Agricultural College. and w,
b. Mooney of the State Normal, will

the ties will be broken between Miss
Jewell Harshman and Evabelle Con
kiln. who were awarded the same
number of points by the judges last
Friday evening.
A good Delta audience should see
these visitors from the state insti-
tutions and encourage the young
ladies in the contest. The program
will begin Mt O'Clock. and will no
doubt prove an exceptionally inter
esting one to the people of Delta
who attend.

Sugar Factory Movement
Showing satisfactory Progress.

While unbale to give full details
of the sugar factory movement in
Delta. The Independent is informed
that it is making satisfactory pro-
gress, and likely to be closed up at
a very early date. Possibly by next
week issue we may be able to an
nounce the joyful news that Delta
is assured of the factory.
1t is known that interested capi-
talists from the outside have been
here making investigation of the
situation and that others are coming.
The officers and executive board oil
the Business Mems Association held
a meeting Monday night and, We
understand. the matter of closing
up all preliminary arrangements VIII
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
To get a sugar factory here will
mean more than can be told in our
limited space, to Delta and the sur

Thought To Have Greatly
Shortened Fruit Crop.

1t is the opinion of the press

which covered also the central
states the first Of this week, will
greatly shorten the 1910 fruit crop.
The Southwest was very fortunate
in not being hit by this last storm,
which covered many sections in its

Deeds Recorded in Delta
This Week Total S12O,044

Deeds recorded for the week end
ing Tuesday, show an advance of
transfer considerations of about %
per cent over last week. Aside from
the "one dollar entries, which give
no idea of what the real consider
alton may have been, there have
been made this week sales to almost
an equal amount of the totals of
the deeds recorded as announced in
the above heading, which have not
yet reached the recorders Office.
Every weeks report, however,
proves that investments in Delta
county property are gradually but

Treatment for Winter
Injury of Young Apple Trees

In those localities where a tenn
perature of about 30 degrees below
zero was reached. and where the
snow lay on the ground for several
days at time. there is more or less
injury to the young fruit trees. In
many cases the injury did not appear
until the later part of the winter,
at which time it was found that the
trunks above the snow line and up
to the scaffold limbs We're darkened
in color. Upon examination it vas
found that the cambium, or growing
layer. had turned a brownish color,
and in many cases this discoloration
of the cambium had extended around
the tree. causing a complete grid
ling of the trunk.
Severe freezing at the ground line
often causes a splitting OF the bark
places for about an inch in length.
If the bark between these cracks is
loose, there will very likely be a
drying to cause a girdling. This
cracking will often be noticed, but
generally. for most varieties, there
is enough vitality in the trees to
heal the wounds. The Rome Beauty
is somewhat susceptible to this form
tof Injury, and where the freezing is
severe enough, the Jonithan may not
recover. This form of injury should
not be confused with growing cracks
which occur any place along the
trunk and limbs.
Trees such as the Winesap and
- l.. L. =
naturally a dark color. were injured
more above the snow line, than
trees such as the Jonithan, the bark
of whose trunk is light in color. I'm
doubtedly this condition was due to
sun scald. as the injury was above
the snow line, and for the most part
was on the south and southwestern
sides In many cases il extended
around to the north side. but was
never found below the snow line or
running above on the scaffold limbs
Where this trunk injury was severe
the smaller limbs were dried out an'
dead. caused. no doubt. by the in
jury below, and also perhaps
to freezing dry. The discoloratior
found in the sap and in the heart
wood of the limbs is due to freez-
ing, and is often found in limbs on
growing trees which have undre-
gone severe winter.
There are different ways in which
winter injured trees can be treated
depending somewhat upon the degre
of injury done. When the tree is
dead at the ground line, II can be

and allowed to throw out growth
from some dormant bud. thus form
ing a new head. or scion could be
inserted by grating. In case of Il
partial injury to the young trunk
and where the top is not frozen back
the chances are that the tree will
completely recover in time. In such
cases severe pruning at the toI
will be all that is necessary.

Labor Demand unsupplicsi.

Said f. h. Morris one day this
week: You ought to say something
about our great prosperity. | have
advertised in the town papers for
men and teams and have privately
offered higher than the average
wage in order to get men, but can't
find any. Everybody is so busy that
they can't stop to work on an i'm
provement enterprise. even for extra
pay. II | get my work done. l sup
pose shall. against my inclination,

labor"
Complaints much the same as
that voiced by MIR. Morris are heard
from all around. There is consid-
cradle help wanted in the fields and
all around. but little is to be found.

The Bellies of Darktown.

II has been rumored around town
the last couple of days that Delta
is soon to have a real, live, up to
date. first class minstrel show, and
now it is surely a fact.
ST. Luke's Episcopal Guild have
all arrangements TO put on one of
these most popular entertainments,
and nightly the ladies are practic-
ing their parts.
Thirty five of Delta's most promi-
neut society matrons and maids
compose the company. They will don
the usual minstrel makeup and in
appropriate costumes make merry
minstrelsy.
The Guild ladies have secured the
services of Miss. Lillian +. Hall,
who makes specially of blackfaced
entertainments. and she promises
us the best home talent entertain
ment Delta has ever seen. Miss
Hall says the show will be in two
acts, or ''spamss. as she calls them.
The first part is the regulation
first part minstrels. including comic
songs. local hits, etc. The second
''spasm" is made up of high class
vaudeville specialties, including a
Juvenile cake walk exhibition by
eight little girls, which is easily the
prize number.
Remember Thursday night. May
5th is the date for the st Luke's
Guild benefit, and you will surely
see the best show of the season at
the opera house.-"Nuff Sed."
