Pleased With Fruit Outlook.

n. H. Castle was up in the Sur
face Creek country the latter part
of last week, and returned very
much pleased with the fruit outlook
in those parts. We examined hun
dreds of peach buds" said Mr.. Cas-
tie, "and found no dead ones at
all" This proves that the December
freeze was of little account. Simi-
lar reports come in from all over
the county. so it seems that after
all the fear that few skeptics in
sisted upon holding, the peach crop.
which was the only one that even
the skeptics were alarmed about, is
safe up to date. Mr.. Castle brought
a fine branch each of peaches. ap-
pies and plums home with him, and
all were heavily laden with bios
SONS. In spite of the annual freeze
cranks, who insist upon having the
fruit killed every year. 1t looks as
IL Delta county was coming out this
year with quite n bit more than her
share of the record crop that ag-
ricultural college professors are now
predicting for Colorado.

Telephone Forces at Cedaredge.

Both the Colorado Telephone Co.
and the Delta Cooperative Tele-
phone Co. are installing local ex-
changes at Cedaredge, and there
promises to be spirited rivalry in
the race for the local telephone busi-
ness.
Both companies have large forces
of men at work installing the ex-
changes annd other improvements,
and both offices will be open for
business within short time. The
Colorado Telephone Company. of
course has all of the toll line con-
nections, but the local company
thinks it can offer the people good
service in a local way. although sub
scribers will be compelled to main
tain both phones in order to get the
best results from the telephone ser

Estimated Number Of Trees Set in
County, 600,000.-- .--Outside Nur-
series Are Paid ST. 10000.
Startling Figures That Are Awakening Land
Owners to the Advisability Of Growing
Nursery Stock at Home.--Means
Seven Thousand Acres Of New
Orchard Set This Spring.

Six hundred thousand is the es-
timated number of fruit trees re
ceived by Delta county this spring
for setting
This is considered n conservative
estimate. and an average OF 25c per
tree, is also conservative estimate
of the cost OF the quality of the
trees purchased.
This indicates the planting OF
about 1000 acres of new orchard
IN Delta county this spring. at
cost of $4,000 for nursery stock
alone.
Quite respectable bunch OF
money to 20 out of the county Tor
fruit trees which should be raised
at home. and then the farmers also
have to pay the freight.
without regard 10 the fact that
the SStock had 20 be bought away
from home, much of II coming from
hundreds or thousands OF miles.
IL is a glorious showing for Delta
county, and the bad management
that made buying away from home
instead of raising the nursery pro-
duct in the banner home of the ap-
pie, will, we feel sure. soon be over
come.
The receipts of nursery stock and
planting of trees in Delta county
this spring is a record breaker, ex-
ceeding perhaps by 100 per cent
any previous record.
Another thing worth noting Is
that the peach tree receipts have
fallen of nearly rs per cent. Our
fruit growers are quick TO grasp
the wisdom OF the situation rs pro-
ven by experience. Here the apple
is king. We raise some fine peach
ca. but we raise the best apples in
the world. and their commercial val
ue Is greater than that of peaches
greater even than the best of the
orange groves of California and
Florida. The crop is more sure
and the season for marketing Is lon
ger. Hence the principal attention
will be given to apple orchards ana
that Delta county. already In the
lead. will grow as the greatset ap-
ple producing section of the world,
there is no particle of doubt.

Carload Lots in Denver Sell
Highest in States His
tory of Stock Sales.
Outlook for Stockmen's Business Is
Bnght.---Losses Unusually
Small Through Win
ter and Spring.

The highest price ever paid for
carloads of steers on the open mar
ket in Denver, was realized last
week when three cars of steers that
were shipped in by the Great Wes-
tern Sugar Company from their feed
lots at Windsor. Colorado, were
sold to local packers for s7.S5.
There were "A head in the bunch,
and they weighed l.154 pounds each.
They we're indeed fine lot of steers
and attracted a great deal of atten-
ton at the yards. The steers were
fed on pulp and alfalfa and are said
to have made a remarkable gain.
They were choice when put into the
feed lots. as this firm believes in
feeding the best. The steers made
a very handsome profit for the COM
pany.

Money in Small Fruits.

II would seem that the growing
of small fruits would receive more
attention than is the case. From
all claims made. strawberries. rasp-
+rSf1Bgs Shd dewberries yield AS
much or more per acre than the
most favorable apple crop. Perhaps
more work is required, but the berry
crop natures and is out of the way
before other fruits ripen, and the
income from some good berry patch
es ought to be welcome item on
the duller financial side of the sea-
son. The same reasoning will apply
to melons and early vegetables. And
the market at home seems so good
for all of these things. There hasn't
been a time in number of years
when the prices were low or when
there seemed an over supply. Our
growers ship some to mining towns,
but on the other hand many Utah
berries come in TO help the home
demand.

commercial asset is not In the guam
tity of apples it produces. as large
quantities of low grade stuff are
grown in the east. nearer the mar
ket. but the east never will be able
20 produce fruit OF the superior qua
lity that is grown here. Delta coun-
~ growers are therefore bending
all their enregise to grow higher
grade of fruit as well as to put 1t
up in better shape than ever before.
One of the biggest boosts the
county will have in 1910. will be
from the tremendous area of raw
land which will be brought into cul-
tivation by the water from the Gun
nison tunnel. Earlier in the year
II for a time seemed doubtful If the
valley would receive the benefit of
the tunnel water this year as there

and the government refused to turn
the water through until the ditch
system was fully under its control.
A decision by the Secretary of
the Interior has settled the difficulty
I'm a manner very satisfactory to the
farmers of the valley. Under this
decision the water will be turned
into the bitches where so per cent

willingness to unity. II is probable

first year in order that there may
be no delay caused through the nee
cessary formalities occasioned by
transferring the bitches to the Gov
ernment. In case any companies are
dilatory in coming into the unifica-
tion scheme. those who own land
under these bitches will not only
have to pay for their Government
water on lands which they subscri-
Jed. but also will get no credits on
paraileled. The most important fea-
ture of the whole thing is. there
'sill be no shortage of water in the
Uncompahgre valley this year, as
the supply from the Gunnison tun-
mel will be more than ample for the
land now under cultivation. or that
can be put under cultivation.
At least 10000 acres of land also
was brought under cultivation du-
,.ng the last year as the result of
the construction of private irirga-
tion enterprises. so 1t will be sene
tnat the increase in Delta county
products is bound to be tremendous.
The town of Delta was never in
. more flourishing condition. and
newcomers are arriving every day.
There are few vacant houses in the
town. and store buildings are at
premium, although several new ones
are being erected to supply the de-
mand. 1t has become necessary to
greatly enlarge the waterworks sys-
tenn during the last year, and also
to erect new school building to
care for the large number of new
pupils enrolled. II is confidently ex-
pected that the town will double in
size within the next two years. in
