Sugar a Great Industry.

Colorado is achieving a wonderful re-
cord in the sugar beet industry, and it
has been proven time and again that
conditions in this State for this indus
try are more favorable than in any
other State in the Union.
Enough sugar was manufactured in
Colorado during 1909 to supply 2,sl6,-
9l3 people for one year.
1t was sufficient to furnish every
man, woman and child in the United
States with the average daily quota for
thirteen full days.
1t would meet the needs of Colorado
for nearly six years.
It would require 1900 freight cars te
transport the years output.
These cars would make up 300 trains
Of thirty cars each, pulled by thirty
locomotives and manned by 2,l0o men,

Big Changes for d. 6 r. G.
on Della Diuision

The first official statement of the
new appointments made by the higher
officials came to light last week and is
quite shaking up.
Perhaps the greatest change that has
been made is the appointment of man
to have charge of the work on the
third division. Formerly the second
and third divisions have been under one
superintendent with headquarters at
Salida. A new division point has been
created at Gunnison and the superin-
tendency has been given to r. C. Ten
Eyck. He has taken charge of his
territory already and the office force
and dispatchers of this division who
have been stationed in the past st
Salida have taken up their new quar-
in the railroad service and will have
charge of the road from Salida to
Grand Junction. The third division has
been under Superintendent o. J. Oeg
together with the work of the second
division. Mr.. Ogg will now give his
entire time to the second The position
of assistant superintendent of the third
has been abolished and Hugh Gallag her
who has acted in this capacity for the
past several months will resume his old
position as passenger conductor on
trains Nos. 3l5 and 3l6 between Grand
Junction and Montrose.
S. II. Barnes has been appointed sup
erintendent of the fourth division with
headquarters at Alamosa, vice p. B..
McAtee having been assigned other du
ties.
James Gallagher who has occupied
the position of roadmaster on the sec
ond district of the third division of the
d. 4 r, G. has been transferred to the
first district and Roadmaster Evans of
the first district has been transferred
to Gallagher's former place.

the Elbertas leading in the matter OF
production. Close t. 1000 carloads
were shipped out of the county this
year. In addition al the other fruits
are grown, such as pears, plums, apri-
cots, cherries, ain onds, etc. In the
bottom lands berries, cantaloupes and
similar products flourish, and in the
higher lands, esp .cially in the Surface
Creek country, g apes have been grown
with marked success.
Yet with all this record of achieve
ment one can conservatively say that
not one-fourth of the county has been
developed. A the irrigated land in
creases in value new projects are in
augurdted each year to bring water to
the soil There are now in progress
and to be completed before next spring
private enterprises which will put water
on at least Is, 900 acres of new land, ex-
elusive of the land to be brought into
cultivation by the Gunnison tunnel,
which will supply water for the irriga-
ton of $50, 900 acres, a good part of
which lies in Delta county.
That much of this new land will be
planted with orchards is a foregone
conclusion. The investors who discover
that growers are netting from $500 to
81, 500 an acre will not be satisfied with
crops of lesser value if they can plant
an orchard.
Compared with other famous sections.
which at the same time cannot show
such record of output, Delta county
lands are low-priced, but with the at
tention of the world focused on it as
the grearest fruit-growing county in
the United States this condition cannot
exist long Ultimately the tracts of
land held by individual farmers will be
subdivided into ten, fifteen or twenty
acre orchards, which can be developed
to their highest extent and made to
yield big returns.
When this is accomplished and all the
new land is brought into cultivation,
one finds it difficult TO imagine what
the fruit output of this county will be.
The Delta independent., 1910-01-14

the state is equal to s25 for each in
habitant of Colorado.
Delta's great and urgent need today
is sugar factory.
There were $50, 900, 900 pounds of
sugar manufactured in Colorado during
1909. Back of that record is the ex-
penditure of sl8, $50. 900 in the construc-
tion of sugar factories and large addi-
tional sums have been expended in the
building of railroads to market the
crops, the erection of beet dumps and
other accessories necessary to the
manufacture of refined sugar. Still
further back of that expenditure Is the
investment of millions of dollars by
farmers in the purchase of land for the
/ cultivation of peets, the development
of the new country, and the creation of
densely populated communities where
only few years ago sage brush and
prairie grass were the only signs of ex-
isting life.
The sixteen plants in Colorado paid
Out 81, 500, 900 in cash during 1909 to the
farmers for their beet crops. That
means prosperity for the tillers of the
soil, the bringing into Colorado of the
money obtained from the sale of the fin
ished product in the other states, and q
corresponding general increase in the
wealth of the state. The expenditures,
however, do not stop at that point as
81, 242. 600 was spent during the year by
the sugar companies for labor, that
amount representing the salary of $3.50
employees. An additional 81. 242, 600 re-
presented the amount paid out for labor
in the beet fields.
The entire crop of beets raised in the
state during the year amounted to L..
400, 600 tons from which were manufac-
tured 2S0, 900, 900 pounds of sugar,
which at four and one-half cents per
pound was worth s12, 600, 900. The RESI-
due left after extracting the sugar from
the beets consisted of $50, 900 tons of
pulp.
There are sixteen sugar plants in
Colorado. The factory nearest Delta
is the one at Grand junction owned by
the Western Sugar & Land Company.
The Importance of the industry in
This state is shown by the fact that al
most one-fourth of the number of
plants of the country. and an equal pro-
portion of the output of sugar in these
plants, is credited to Colorado Michi-
gan comes second, with sixteen plants
Of II, $50 tons daily slicing capacity,
against the sixteen plants with y, 500
tons slicing capacity in Colorodo. Cali
fornia comes third with ten plants hav-
ing daily capacity of 10, 700 tons.
The foundation has been laid for still
greater things in Colorado in the way
of manufacturing sugar, and it is eX-
pected that some very large increase in
output will be manifested during the
next few years.
Shall We neglect to put forth every
effort to get sugar factory for Delta,
or shall we go in and win? A factory
would mean the employment of Delta
people at good wages, and this money
would be spent in Delta 1t would
mean also larger acreage of beets in
the vicinity of Delta, giving the farm
ers still more money to spend in our
city. 1t would mean also large ad-
vances and increased activity in real
estate. There are, in fact, too many
benefits to enumerate, too many to
lose. Let us not lose, but win.

Our Colorado Apples.

II there Is any fruit Of which Colo
RADIO may justly be proud it is winter
apples. The altitude of the valleys in
which they are grown, and may be
grown much more extensively, makes
up for her southerly location among the
apple growing states. That they will
keep well is certain. | have seen it
tried repeatedly and the condition of
the exhibits at Ch cego and at the big
show in Denver last week from various
counties east and west of the Continent
al Divide proves this again. In ap-
pearance Colorado apples are almost
beyond favorable competition fro m
other states. Their freedom from
fungus and scab is remarkable in all
sections of The state owing to the pure
air.
As l have often noted before, their
complexion and delicate waxen color
are almost Incompatible among the
apples of the whole world. These facts
and the ease of transportation to the
great markets, to say nothing of the
smsller markets in the mining regions
close at hand, should be encouraging to
the apple growers of Colorado. The
ready cash put into their pockets this
year ought to be a convincing argument
in this direction. IL | had any advice
to give the fruit growers of Colorado
as to what they should grow mainly.
it would be the highest grade of winter
apples they can produce. There will
always be fair market for them. The
culture of the peach, pear, apricot.
prune. small fruits and grapes proves n
success in most parts of Colorado, and
while would not disparage their cul-
ture. the apple is the main fruit crop
east and west. Peaches. plums. grapes
etc. may cloy on the public palate but
good winter apples will always sell well
and keep we'll What varieties shall we
grow? may be asked by a prospective
Colorado apple grower. | would say.
only few. Be careful not to plant
too many summer and fall varieties.
About all tnat will be needed of them is
to supply the home markets. There
will be little call for apples of this class
to ship outside the state, except in case
of scant crops at the eastward. Jona-
than is perhaps the most profitable
apple to plant in Colorado today. Jona-
than is hard to beat for quality and
color and is good in the orchard and in
the market it stands high. Rome
Beauty is good apple for western
Colorado in particular. 1t is somewhat
likely to be blown Off in the eastern
orchard and does not keep as well as
from across the Divide. Grimes Gold
en- can not be equaled for delicate flavor
and in clear. waxen color it has no
superior, and for fancy market and
home use there is none better. Missouri
Pippin is one of the most profitable If
not the most profitable apple for the
first ten and fifteen years of an orchard
of all varieties. 1t bears so early and
so heavily that it is just the one for
filler. 1t may be planted between the
more hardy kinds, to occupy the space
until they use it. more than as per-
manent tree. The bright red color and
fair keeping qualities of this apple make
1t favorite for market and those who
have planted it for home use will soon
have plenty of winter apples.-H. +
