COOLING MOTH APPEAR
EARLIER THAN is USUAL
Second Spraying for COdling Moth
Should be Completed in This
District by Wednesday.

Cooling moth eggs are being
found earlier than usual this sea-
son, and the second spray should
be applied not later than three
weeks from the first. In cases where
an additional spray was made for the
calyx, a week or ten days after
the first, a third application should
be made about two weeks from the
second.
The writer searched for eggs in
few Surface Creek orchards last
Thursday, May is, and was able to
find them in one orchard. This very
early laying of eggs makes it neo-
essary that the second spraying be
completed before the end of the
month in that section, and in others
where the first spray was applied
at about the same time. In sec
tions where the first spraying was
later, the second should be done
about three weeks from the first.
Those who are counting on ap-
plying their second spray 80 days
from the first, will be too late to
do the best work this season, as
the moths are coming on just as
early as they did last season even
though the apples are more back

Full Crop of Fruit in County
Would be Hard to Handle

The question has often been
asked, even by one fruitgrower Of
another, what would happen in
case of an absolutely full crop"
The main result would be that we
could hardly get men enough to
pack it or cars enough to ship it.
Orchards have increased to such an
extent that an average half crop
now would exceed any crop here
tofore raised in this county, which
has already record of having ship
ped more apples in single season
than any one county in the United
States. The prospects are now-and
there is little fear of further dam
age-that Delta county will have
more than a half crop. The trouble
is, of course, as in all seasons when
frosts do damage, that a few or
chards here and there have to bear
the brunt of losses, while other Or
chards not only have their full crop
but have to be thinned. As long
as there are air currents and the
frost hits heaviest in streaks, this
condition does not seem one that
IAN be- remedied, unless by wind
breaks or extra smudging' and, as
the air currents seem to dodge
about. from one season to another,
il becomes only a guess as to
where the greater precaution may
be necessary the following year.
The fact remains. however, that
Delta county will have big fruit
yield this season, possibly as big
as any heretofore shipped, and her
acreage of field crops will be larger
tnan ever before in her history.

Beet Sugar Factory? No. Yes?

Beet Sugar Factory? No. Yes?
At present it don't look like the
beet sugar factory planned for Delta
was going to materialize this sea-
son, though it may be revived again
in the fall.
The play made by the Western
Sugar and Land company to get
acreage contracts, pitting Delta
against Grand Junction as the op-
ef4cus point for its factory. work
ed like a charm, and 1t is claimed
that more beets have been seeded
this spring in both counties than
ever before, and the contracts were
securely written by the persuasive
agents of that company. Not only
that, but a majority if not all OF
the contracts are for a longer per-
iod than one year.
One rumor says that the weak
ness of the eastern bonding market
is responsible for delay in the mat
ter of the proposed building OF a
factory at Delta. This may be true
and there may be other and various
reasons lurking behind it.
Inc bS
lieved that Delta would some day
have a sugar factory. 1t believes
so still, and after all, certain de-
lays in getting it may not prove so
great a disadvantage as our disap-
pointment suggests. 1t will take
still another year to complete the
Uncompahgre irrigation project, and
V hen that is done many more thou
sands of acres of beets can be rails
ed, If growers wish. In the mean
time we have substantial and
Vrotitable market for our beets,
just about as good as though We
had the factory here, though less
satisfactory because of having the
sugar making with its accruing
benefits of labor and by-product 60
ing away from the principal grow
ing territory.
The erecting of million dollar
factory at Delta is a large PROPOSE
tion, and it may be that its ac-
complishment was beyond the abili-
ty of the local promoters who sough
to hurry it. The matter will event
ually settle itself. and, when ii
does. n part of the result can no
doubt be traced directly back TO
the good efforts made by Delta peo-
pie in the past to secure factory.

Prizes for Best Sugar Beets.

Fred G. Holmes, manager OF
the Western Sugar & Land COM
pany's plant at Grand junction, an
nounces a novel plan adopted by
that company to induce growers TO
raise the best quality of beets, by
giving prizes. Mr.. Holmes state
Inents are as follows:
In order to increase our sugar
content We have decided TO offer
prizes for the farmers growing the
most sugar per acre. We viii give
first, second and third prizes
prize to be three l00-pound sacks
of our best grade of sugar; second
prize. two sacks, and the third, one
sack.
We will give these prizes to
our growers in each county; that
is, there will be three prizes for
Montrose county, Delta county. Gar
field county and Mesa county, Colo
rado, and Grand county, Utah, or
thirty sacks in all. In handling
these prizes We figure that every
man who grows beets is COM
petitor, and We take each mans
average tonnage and sugar per
cent, and in this way the small
grower stands as good a show as
the larger grower. SO you will un-
derstand thoroughly just how We
handle this, will say that. if man 5
beets test l . per cent sugar, each
ton contains $40 pounds.
IF he grows 10 tons to the acre,
he gets 4,SO0 pounds of sugar per
acre. If, though, his beets only test
IL per cent sugar, he only gets 24O
pounds to the ton, and, figuring
that he grows 20 tons to the acre,
lie does not get any more sugar
than he would if he grew IS tons
at l 6 per cent.
These prizes will be awarded
just as soon as all the beets are
received and we can make up our
final reports. If you will follow our
instructions in thinning and cultiva-
ton as near as possible to what
we have outlined above. and. if
your farm land is in good shape,
you stand good chance of win
ming one OF these prizes.

IRONSTONE DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING IN DELTA
Meeting Adopted Resolutions urg-
ing Stockholders to Vote
for Unification.

An interesting meeting of Of
ficers and directors of the 1ronstone
ditch company was held in this
city Monday afternoon, at the Of
fice oil Millard Fairlamb.
There were present A. H. Mel
drum, president and j. F. French,
secretary; j. o. Wright, Frank
Shields, S. w. Weeks, Harry Price,
Minor Freeland, Elmer Young and
2. l. Jones.
Matters pertaining to the ditch
and the part it should play in help
ing to unity the Uncompahgre sys-
tenn were discussed and new forms
of agreement were prepared and
resolutions adopted.
The knowledge that the ditch can
now join the unification system by
the consent of seventy-five per
cent OF its stockholders, may aid
materially in disposing of the case.
The fact that the holding out of
the Ironstone ditch, with one or
two others, is materially delaying
the completion of the Uncompahgre
irrigation project, and that it is
said to further threaten the ST.
100000 government appropriation
for the work, which may be eX-
pended elsewhere, it is asserted, il
the matter of unification of this
system cannot be completed so that
the work of its completion can be
resumed, has apparently stirred
the Ironstone people to new effort
to get their stockholders into a
satisfactory agreement and the mat
ter will be placed before them at
once, in its new light.

The estimates given above are
considered very conservative indeed
and if anything they will be ex-
ceeded.
In printing the above table, the
Grand Junction papers made sepa-
rate items of the North Fork Val
ley and West Delta county, and
stated that Grand Valley was in
the lead with 1000 cars estimated.
However most people know that
the North Fork Valley is in Delta
county.
With nearly full crop for. the
Cedaredge and Surface Creek coun-
try, which has not been estimated
before, Delta county will doubtless
ship more than $500 cars.

MAKE MONTHLY REPORT
Engineers Seem to be Making Good
Progress on Proposed Elec-
trio Line.

Montrose, Colo, May 90, 1911.
To the President and Board of Di-
rectors, The Uncompahgre Gun
nison Valley Railroad Co.
Gentlemen:
In compliance with the terms OF
our contract with your Company,
dated Dec. Is, 1910, We beg to rem
der you the following monthly pro-
gress report.
Since our previous report OF April
II. we have spent a week in Cedar
edge and vicinity securing addition
al subscriptions to the bonus fund.
Quite a number of subscription lists
have been mailed out to town land
owners by us, and some of the Ce-
daredge and Delta men have also
mailed such lists and sent personal
letters to the extent we think of
some 40 or SO out of town land
owners.
At this writing We have practic-
ally finished our full report on your
project, so far as relates to the
preparation of maps, plates. type
written matter, etc, as would nat
urally appear in it. These reports
will be bound in the east, and our
Mr.. Beard expects to leave here on
Sunday the 2lst inst. for the east,
where he will remain for a more or
less indefinite time, in our efforts
to finance the project.
In connection with the question
of financing, we have encouraging
hopes of being successful in that
] line. The project has never ap-
/ peared so favorable to us as ii does
now upon the full completion of the
deductions We are able to draw from
the data we have compiled. The
seeming prospect that no really seri-
Gus damage has been done to the
fruit crop, will strengthen our posi-
tion materially.
The fact that the Supreme
Courts decision in connection with
the Standard Oil case occasioned ris-
ing stock market, is an indication
that eastern money which has long
been held back for Industrial and
other Investments, will soon find its
way into construction works.
We firmly believe that the next
few months will show very favor
BILE conditions for financing of this
and similar projects.
| Very truly yours,
| fSigned) PARET & BEARD.
The above statement published in
the Montrose Empire, will serve as
gratifying news to the many read
ors of the Independent who are in
terested in the building of the cleo
trio road. For few weeks there
has been little said about the com
pany's movements or the progress
being made, and this office has had
considerable inquiry from subscrib-
ers over Surface Creek.
There is great deal of interest
among the people along the pro
posed line of this road. which is
all favorable to its building. or
course. II takes time to complete
"A proposition of this character, but
that the movement is making favor
able progress will be accepted as
very pleasant news.
