means SO We will hurry to a discussion
of the crops yielded by our irrigated
lands.
Every statement as to yield per acre
that has ever been made about our ir-
rigated lands has been more than car
ried out this year and there have been
some new records set which we know
will tax the belief of all who hear
them. The optimists of our country
for the past five years have cried that
ten acres set to apples will support a
family. Today the optimist is crying
that five acres set to apples will not
only support family but will make
that family rich. And the latter is the
sober and absolute truth. We can
show it by numberless instances right
here this year. An income of four
thousand dollars year will make any
family rich and who among US who
knows the conditions will hesitate to
say that eight hundred dollars per acre
from apples is but little more than an
ordinary yield and is certain with care
and scientific cultivation.
Over two thousand cars of apples
were shipped from this county this year
and the returns were close to the two
million dollar mark. Peaches and other
to say that the total income for the
county bordered right around three
million dollars and a. this money went
right into the hands of the individual
ranchmen and was used and is being
used in preparing for larger crops in the
future and more acres set to fruit.
Cattle shipped from our summer
ranges have topped the market wher-
ever they have gone. This is a pros
porous year for the cattlemen albeit
they have been handicapped by the
high price of their winter feed. Our
cattle have been graded up until we
are at the top.
When we say that apples will pro-
duce from four hundred to fifteen
hundred dollars per acre we can prove
our statement When we say that
strawberries may be made to yield over
nineteen hundred dollars to the acre
let US show you the affidavits if you
doubt When you see statement
Delta county oats have yielded one hun
dred and thirty bushel per acre don I
cry to heaven that we are fakers-we
can absolutely prove the statement.
When you see that man in Delta
county paid for his place in two crops
and lived we'll beside and had COM
Portable balance in the bank don
doubt-for we have the proofs in our
hip pocket ready to show the world.

Another Road Seems Certain.

The Salt Lake Tribune of Decembef
30 stated that the Colorado Midland hac
found new, shorter and lower route
from Salt Lake to Denver by way of
Aspen, Buena Vista and around the
southern base of Mt. Princeton, cutting
out Lesdville. 1t is claimed that the
steepest grade by this route will only
be two per cent. The plan is to run
down the South Fork of the South
Platte from Buena Vista and connect
with the South Fork branch of the C.
IS.
1t will be remembered by those living
in the North Fork district that an
engineering party ruL lines across that
part of the county last summer under
the guise of surveying reservoir sites,
and the aforementioned paper said
that the party that was out for the
Midland had used that mode of keeping
its real interests dark. Now that
the plans have been practically clinched
the company let the matter out
Now if that paper knew, and there is
every reason to believe that it did,
Delta will have a second road and q
good one. More than that it will have
the trip to Denver shortened about
one-third or more. But. whatever the
prospects may be. the matter should be
taken up at once by the citizens and
different business mems associations
and put before the Midland company in
such a way that no doubt will remain
as to the inducements this county offers
to a second road. The business is here
for the Midland or any other road that
gets in first.
