 About fifty young folks were in attendance and everyone ex- pressed their joy in what they had seen and participated in.
 Old time plays were enjoyed by the boys and girls. Contests in the art of drawing the picture of an Irishman resulted in Mrs. E. o. Cox displaying the best "exe- cution" ability. The contest in potato digging showed Mrs. Daphnie Cox to most adept while Mrs. H. l.. Urton came out at the end of the row.. Placing the
 pipe of peace" in the Irishmans mouth resulted in a tie, while the author naming showed that many who run" had read
 At the conclusion of the pro- gram delicious refreshments were served by the hostess.
 The committee who arranged the social was untiring in their efforts to make the affair most enjoyable and the Union is under many obligations for the service rendered.
 We expect to make these SO cialS a feature of our work as a young pleopels' organization, and ali who attend will be profited.

Vast Sum Expended
For Nursery Stock

IL is estimated by various per
sons in position to know wha,
they are talking about that at
at less, 100000 fruit trees have
been shipped from other states to
Delta county tor planting the
present spring. and 1t is also es
timated that they represent cost
to the ranoher of % cents each.
The Delta Independent sug
gests that Sl50,000 is a great deal
of money for the ranchcrs of this
county to pay out in one year for
nursery stock which can just as
we'll be grown at home. and the
Independent also says that young
trees grown here will be much
better adaptco to the climate and
soil. in short. that the home OF
the prize apple is the place to
grow the young trees. Without
regard to the fact that the stock
had TO be bought away from
home. much OF 1t coming many
hundreds OF miles, it is a glorious
showing sor Delta county, and
the bad management that made
buying away from home instead
OF raising the nursery product in
the banner home OF the apple. will,
we feel sure, soon be overcome.
There certainly appears to be a
splendid opening for a practical
and experienced nurseryman. The
shipping OF nursery stock here
this spring exceeded last year by
100 per cent. and it is more than
probable that it will increase
largely for some years to come,
as there is yet vast acreage to
be set in trees. and it is morally
certain that all the land suitable
tor orchards will eventually be
set to trees.

The Potato Special
Was Warmly Welcomed

A large delegation of farmers.
business men and many ladies
and school children greeted the
Potato Special here last Friday
afternoon and listened with rapt
attention to the lectures which
were delivered while the train re-
NAMED here. The lectures dealt
with market conditions. the Sc
lection of seed and varieties. and
best meth ods of cultivation. One
speaker dwelt at length upon the
causes which brought about the
present low price of potatoes, and
suggested the remedies. He said
that the general public was not
educated up to the importance of
the potato as an article of food.
and especially its va'ue at the
present low prices of potatoes and
the high prices of all other food
stuffs
Especially interesting was the
talk upon selection of seed and
keeping up the standard of the
potato grown. The speaker said
that if you tailed to constantly
breed up your variety and strive
always to develop the very best
your standard would deteriorate.
and runty potatoes would be the
final result.
A large assortment OF seed 20
tatoes showing model sizes and
shapes was on exhibition IN the
exhibition car and were carefully
studied by the visitors. The ex-
hibition of machinery and tools
used in the scientific cultivation
of the spud was the object OF
much interest and comment.
The train arrived and departed
on schedule time. Those who
took the trouble to go and hear
the lectures expressed themselves
in terms of the highest praise for
the Agricultural college and tn,
Denver and Rio Grande railroad
The special train was in charge
OF B. w. Robbins. of Grand juno
