20 Cars of Fruit
Going to South America

fruit from Montrose. Delta and
Grand Junction will be shipped
within the next week to a large
wholesale firm in Buenos Ayres.
South America. Two cars OF Win
ter Nellis pears and the rest in
Jonathan apples will compose the
consignment and most of the
Shipment has already been pur-
chased by Eugene M. Hunt, who
is on the Western Slope in the in
terests of that concern.
Asked why Western Slope fruit
was selected. Mr. Hunt declared
that the keeping quality OF the
stock from this region was much
better than in any other section
with which he was familiar and
that its appearance was unex
celIed. "It takes excellent fruit
to stand the storage of four weeks
IN the steamer to South America
and then be displayed in the
tropical climate. Ordinary truii
will stand Up but few hours but
we have found fruit from western
Colorado superior to any other in
that particular. More than that
your fruit is more uniform, better
colored and of immensely better
flavor"

buried there for many years. 1t is

all of what is now Yazoo county was
under water, except perhaps the very
highest points, and the receding oi
the waters left deposits of debris
which has been buried deeper each
year by the accumulation of the de
posits washed from the hills.

enterprise and to see that this vast
sum of money is economically admin

we have one superintendent in each
