COLORADO FRUIT
WINS IN IOWA
NOT VIRTUALLY" But AS A
NATTER OF FACT BASED
UPON MERIT.
Blue Ribbons and Trophies Gathered

ing Store.-Full List Not
Received Up to Going
to Press.

Great as was the winning sweep
made at Council Bluffs at their pre-
vious big show, that at the present
one is broader and more numerous.
There comes also much gratifica-
tion with the fact that Colorado,
or in larger print, Delta and one or
two counties of the Western slope,
have this year captured nearly all
the apple prizes at the Council
Bluffs, Iowa, great Exposition, and
have done it against handicap OF
seasons.
At the other Council Bluffs show
the Colorado exhibitors had a
much greater crop TO select from
than this year. while the north
western states had a shorter yield.
This season those states have their
full crop and have been inclined to
sneer at Colorado.
The remarkable verdict is flashed
over the wires that three counties
of the Western slope have taken
more premiums than all the balance

tor and many other varieties were
won by Western Slope apples; that.
In fact nearly all plate exhibits from
these counties swept the blue rib
bon counter clean.
The judges were of the most ex-
pert on apples to be found in the
United States. The dispatch says:
I'm every case where there was any
doubt. the splendid flavor. juiciness
and texture of the Colorado apple
won the day."
The apple show at Council Bluns
did much before to attract interest
and attention to Western Slope
orchards. and this one promises
still greater results in that way.
The Western Slope, in the fruit

DELTA COUNTY'S
FINEST PRODUCTION
Its Quality Cannot he. Duplicated.
Its Market Demand Cannot be
Supplied.

Is tale of QUALITY. There is
always room in the markets for the
BEST. Through long series of
trials, Delta county fruit has en-
orged triumphant. Its triumphs are
not those of the fairs and exhibit
tions, though the county has Its
full need of medals, but they are
the triumphs of the market places
where fruit auctions demonstrate
what fruits actually bring the high
est prices,
The things that make Delta coun-
ty fruit supreme are things that
cannot be initiated or duplicated
elsewhere. In the first place, the
fertility of the soil produces vigor-
Gus growth of tree, and richness
of the fruit in mineral salts. That
means large ifrtus, well formed
and with rich flavor. The constant
sunshine produces high color and
n thick. tough skin-and tough
skin mears good shipping quality
The exact control of moisture by
irrigation means the fruit is Just
right as regards juciness--not too
wet and sour, not too dry ana

just as it does to the sugar beets.
Under any other conditions, the
great present acreage in Colorado in
fruit and the steadily increasign
acreage would bring fear of over
production, but there can never be
too much of the best. Not
one-tenth of the present market de-
mand has yet been supplied, and the
European trade has never been
touched.
Hundreds of car loads of Delta
county apples go to the Pacific coast
every year, where the people, sa-
ted with the fiabby and most
insipid fruits from the warmer eli
mate, will pay almost any price for
a good, crisp, tart apple. The tropics
are clamoring for Colorado fruit.
Australia would take it by the ship
load; and the reason why Colorado
fruit alone can meet this demand.
lies in its keeping qualities.
The orchardist can make his dug

apples elsewhere are gone, full

Delta's Position,

The following article appeared in
the Delta Chief, which is now The
Delta Independent, over twenty-five
years ago. The far-seeing scribe of
that early date saw much in store
for Delta, great deal of which
has already proven true. and more
is bound to In the future.
"Of the different factors that
have contributed to the growth of
leading towns and cities, too much
Importance cannot be given to

of trade, the combinations of indi-
vidual wealth or monopolies. finally
succumb to the unyielding claims of
natural positions. for its advan-
tages are permanent. They may be
ignored for time but eventually
the inevitable situation asserts its
pre-eminence.
Delta is located at the mouth
OF the Uncompahgre river. and
claims as tributary to her impor-
tance, both the Uncompahgre and
Gunnison valleys, their rivers reach

Delta County Coal

The coal resources of Delta coun-
ty develop slowly because of lack OF
railroad transportation from the
consequently, lack of market.
Those mines in the vicinity of
Paonia and Somerset are naturally
most developed, and some of them
rank with the best in the state as
shippers.
Along the slope of Grand mesa,
however. are great areas of coal
which has yet been unable to find
a market other than the home con-
sumer, and while the people of

section already opened Tsp are cap
able of oUtputting thousands of train
loads instead of thousands of wag-
on loads.
OF course this will all be righted
In time. Where such great bodies
of coal exist railroads are bound
TO reach out, not alone because they
want the business. but also because
the world will need the coal.
Delta county coal development
is, for the reasons stated. in its in
fancy. A number of mines have been
opened up to supply the local de-
mand. but even they have not de-
veloped to the best of their grades
though the quality of coal mined is
satisfactory to the conusmers. it is
known that other and better veins
exist below those now worked.
The price of coal is not high in
Delta county. as you can get coal
delivered at from 81. to s4.75 per
ton at Delta. and still more cheap
" at points nearer the mines.

GROWTH WHICH
MEANS MUCH
MERITS OF DELTA ASTONISHING
TO VISITORS.-PREDI
MUCH FOR US.
Intensive Cultivation Will Make of
Delta County A Mass of Produc-
tive Industry Not Equaled
by Any Other Portion
of the World.

The developed and undeveloped
impress all visitors.
Said the leader of a tourist party
last week: Il doubt if many of
the RESIDENTS of Delta county real
ize the marvellous possibilities of
its future. l have never before Wis
tied a section where intensive cul-
tivation can accomplish so much;
have never before made observations
in a field whose future prospects
promise to realize more than the
most visionary dreams have pic
tured"
And as time goes on the evidence
grows more binding. The truth
which has been delved from the
earth and matured in our bright sun
shine, has been lifted by the winds
of publicity and carried to the pub
lie.
1t is being demonstrated that very
few statements have been exager-
ated, and that even these may be-
come underestimates in the face of
the evidence which future years
shall evolve.
1t has been limited that our val
ley farms and orchard lands were
being over-boomed. If this state
ment has not already been disprov-
ed it will be by the future records
of this section. Not once only, but
many times, for the procession of
years will go by, each revealing the
newborn possibilities, until the visi-
tor in a decade from now will see
in this county. thousands of small
farms, each with its contented
family, with electric lines ira
versing it everywhere.
Great as is the present, much
greater will prove the future of
Delta county.

1T will be far more economical to
pull down by gravitation the trains
of mineral and coal to the mouth
of the Uncompahgre than to use
steam on an up grade to western
San Juan, or climbing over a pass
to smelter.
Delta is the focus where coal
and mineral must gravitate; the
The Delta independent., 1910-12-16
This still Holds Good.

The following was printed in The
Independent two years ago, but i,
is as true today as it was then. 1t
is these conditions that have brought
five thousand new dwellers into
Delta county in the last three
years;
The thing that brings people TO
Delta and Delta county more than
TO any other section, is the fact,
gradually becoming better known,
that orr district is favored beyond
others. In the boasted northern
part of Colorado there is a multi
plicity of towns with less soil pro-
duction by half. Fort Collins. Long
mont. Loveland, Fort Morgan, Eaton
Brush, Greeley, Boulder, Windsor.
Brighton are all crowding each other
in their beet growing section. All of
them have had their boom and, for
the pesent at least, most of them
are finished. The towns in the ter
ritory north of Denver have grown
fully up to the ability OF their ter
ritory to support. and in many of
them the business situation is too
crowded to be probable. Land in
this section is rated about as high
as in Delta county and is depen-
dent upon but part of what this
county produces in grains. grasses
and sugar beets, leaving out our
fruits. which are supposed to
equal all the other products. Be
side, Delta county is not annually
cut up and devastated by hail and
other storms. On this basis of
reasc.''ng, land in Delta county
should be worth at least double
what and is worth around Fort
Collins. Then there are other
things to be considered. Delta coun-
ty is yet an infant in the matter of
real growth and there are openings
here to secure raw land or land in
the various degrees of Improvement.
These purchase offerings give the
investor a chance to see the land
grow in money value as he improves
it. Delta county property is long
way from having reached the pin
nacle of market value prices. even
as some of it is held. The man
who buys judiciously at this time
and holds for two or three years
will find. this out.

soil, which can be irrigated with
little expense. Sixty to seventy thou
sand acres of this land are on
the west of the Uncompahgre alone
while several thousand acres of
similar land lies between the I'm
compahgre and Gunnison rivers,
besides in close proximity to Delta
are the rich valleys and mesas along
Tongue and Surface creeks.

advantages of a natural position that
should claim the attention of capital
