ORCHARDS REAL VALUE.

To get a clear idea of the com
merCial value of a peach orchard we
must consider the cost of growing
and marketing. Good trees can be
purchased at twenty-five cents apiece
and when set twenty feet apart each
way il will require los trees to the
acre These los trees will cost S27.
1t will cost at least SO to pillow the
land and put 1t in condition for set
ting. To set them out it will cost
about five cents a tree, This makes
the acre cost $40 set to peach trees
ready for growing the orchard. If
good varieties are used. the orchard
will bear a fair crop the fifth year.
The cost of cultivating, irrigating and
pruning this acre each year will be
about $50. The cost of the acre then
will be $l40 until the first crop comes
in. However, such crops as potatoes,
cantaloups and corn and small fruits
may be grown on the soil while the
trees are young and frequently will
fully pay for the cost of cultivating.
These crops should not be grown on
the soil unless it is fairly rich. since
they check the growing trees. espec-
tally so if water is short. In some
instances a land company anxious to
unload a high priced tract in small
lots of five to ten acres will agree
with the purchaser to deliver the
ground set and in good condition
three or five years later at given
price but In making this they gen
orally calculate that the planting and
care is easily worth 500 the acre
which is added in. This is not say
ing. however that such plantation
will prove half as satisfactory as if
the buyer had planted it himself and
tended it in his own way.-Denyer

PROTESTS ARE MADE TO
JOURNAL FOR MEASUREMENTS

Files of TINS paper for several
years past bear evidence to frequent
complimentary mention of the re-
sources and attractions of the agri-
cultural districts of Montrose, Delta
and Mesa counties. lauding Grand
Junction as the prospective metrop-
oils of the western slope, speaking
of it as destined. by reason of its
location, resources, energy and enter
prise of its people and press. to be
come the one important city between
Denver and Salt Lake. However, the
persistence of the Journal in its eff
forts to assist in advertising and at
tracing attention to these favored
regions. and in its feeble way aid in
the development and progress of its
neighbors, on the theory, that any
thing directly benefitting one section,
indirectly benefits the entire state
however, none of these things, seem
ever to have attracted attention, at
least acknowledgment has never been
made.
Now with newspapers, as with in
dividuals, if there is any one thing
provoking, exasperating, above an
other, 1t is to be ignored. The Jour
nal, however. has at last won recog-
milton. Saturday last referring to the
contradictory rumors as to the effect
of the freezing weather, early last
week, on the fruit prospects, the
journal interviewed fruit growers
from the valley orchards, and printed
| thelrCstatement5 rs 10 prevailing con
| ditions. some of which were not full
lsome flattering, as to future pros

poets This had the effect to cause
these communities to rise up in a
commendable defense of their chief
industry. The Press hoped on the
journal all spraddled out, accusing
it of all sorts of crimes and mis-
demeanors; depreciating its general
degeneracy, etc. Individual letters
of protest are pouring in of which the
following is one of the mildest in
tone. Ii bears date of Grand juno
tion, May %, 1910, and is over the
signature of Louis Meyer, secretary
of the Mesa County Business asso-
citation.
After citing the journal article of
last Saturday, and quoting sentences
to which exception is taken, there
| comes this paragraph:
"A thorough investigation has been
made by state inspectors and fruit
associations and their finding is that
| Mesa county will have at least $500
cars. which is about sixty per cent of
n full crop. AS you will concede, the
fruit associations ARE NOT INTER
! ESTED IN MAGNIFYING output for
the very good reason that reports of
| big crops depress prices and conse-
| quently their reports may be accepted
| as accurate"
In this connection ii is gratifying
to note that valley papers this week
are felicitating their communities on
the improved outlook for a fairly
good fruit yield, vide the Montrose
Enterprise, which says: in telling of
tour of inspection of the orchards
last Sunday: The way the fruit has
come out within the past week, since
the cold spell of last Monday, has
been a marvel to the fruit men of
this locality. The apples which ap-
peared as though they were hard hit
on Tuesday last, had not only taken
on n new life, but had actually doub-
led in size and the indication now is
that the owners will harvest prac-
tically full crop"
From which it would appear, after
all, that the reported damage to the
orchards had a slight foundation OF
fact. However, the Journal, in com
mon with all the people of the noun
tain camps, hopes that their valley
neighbors will realize ito the full eX-
tent their fondest hopes, and that the
yield Will be SO munificent, and the
quality so perfect, as to warrant the
fruit growers to depart from theiI

ed by your committee if you take the
trouble to make inquiry among the clerks
themselves:
Il. That out of II 600 signatures to the
MacVeagh petition Of clerks in Washing
ton So per cent Of the signatures were
procured under Misrepresentation. duress
or coercion. Chiefs OF divisions signed
first and then passed the list among the
clerks under them.
.'2. That not per cent of the clerks
in the departments here favor the bill.
and this 5 per cent is composed almost
entirely of clerks over sixty years of
age.
'3. That a salary of $1OO five years
ago, measured by what it would buy
of the necessaries of life. is more than
equal to $1,000 at the present time.
~. That government clerks were not
originally appointed on a factory basis,
and should not be treated on that basis.
They were appointed: (a) For political and
personal reasons; (b) from sentimental
reasons. largely. of soldiers leaving the
