FRUIT IN THE GRAND VALLEY.
Grand Junction News.

Grand Junction News.
From the best information obtain
able, the Daily News is confident thai
the Grand valley will ship this year
fully as many cars OF fruit as last
year, and perhaps more.
Last year, in round numbers, 3,050
cars of fruit were shipped If 60
per cent crop is marketed this year,
as Secretary Fletcher of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association
thinks probable. from the information
In his possession, the tonnage will be
5000 cars.
The Daily News is inclined to be.
lieve that 60 per cent is under, rather
than over the figures. In all probe bill
ity last years record will be broken,
and 1910 will witness the biggest ship
ment ever sent out from the Grand
valley.
As the freeze has not been very gen.
eral, and short crop is probable all
over the country, it is possible that
1910 prices will again soar to heights
not reached since 1905. and that the
total receipts for 1910 will far exceed
all previous receipts.
The result Is due almost entirely
TO the smudge pot But for the vail.
ant work of the orchard men with The
heaters, Grand valleys crop for 1910
would be pitifully small. AS II is,
those who failed to smudge will have
not more than 90 per cent of a crop,
and in many cases less than that.
Even some who smudged lost heay-
lily. 1t was discovered that to smudge
one must have more than the pots
and the fuel. Smudging next year
will be an exact science Nothing must
be left to chance Eternal vigilance.
continual preparedness and universal
smudging alone can give a full victory
against such frost us that OF Friday
