No More Babies
After Year 2O15

Prof. Walter +. Wilcox of Cornell
University has had n nightmare. He
has been studying statistics and has
come to the conclusion that after the
year 2Ol5 no babies will be born in
America, but that France can supply
us for so years longer. Prof Wilcox
ought to cut out the brand OF booze
he has been indulging In. Perhaps
he has the mince pie habit, which
ought to be tabood. The hair-brain
theories which aiiiict some men who
ought to have some sense make one
weary. A man who can give out
such balderdash as scientific" de-
duction is certainly not fit to occupy
professors chair in university.
The world isn't coming to an end
very soon. neither is the human race.
Once an Irishman was elected
member of the city government of
New York. He had big ideas of re-
trenchment and when member pro-
posed to beautiiy the lake in Central
Park by placing thereon fleet OF
gondolas the lrishman saw his
chance. he said: "Gentlemen. | Am
opposed to this needless eXtrava-
gance. Gondolas may lie all right,
but I'm opposed to spending so much
money as an experiment. Let us
buy two gondolas, male and female.
aad let nature take her course. "
Prof. Wilcox might profit by. study
of that proposition.

success can be had in this manner.

as the Paonia Brand. and our Stan

brands have proven to be an advan-

Until this season we have always
employed exclusively the usual
method of packing from the apples
direct as they come from the orchard
and were put upon the packing table
without the nse OF sorters. This
method is entirely feasible, and a
good commercial pack can be secured

APPLES, PICKING, PACKING
ape Read Before the Annual State Horticultural Meeting
By A Roberts, President of the North Fork Fruit Growers Association

In preparing "A paper ON this sub
ject to be read before a meeting of
the state Horticultural convention,
/ naturally have in mind Colorado
conditions and for Colorado people.
The growing of commercial apples
state industry. Hundreds of fam
lilies are supported by 1t. and no one
who has made commercial apple
growing in Colorado his business
under right conditions has ever failed.
Nor need he ever fail in the future
where conditions of growing are any
thing like right and a fair amount OF
intelligence is used in the work.
That is to say that there will always
be IA demand for Colorado apples in
the markets of the country. and in
the valleys OF the state suited to the
growth of apples a grower should
always succeed. There are different
grades of success. however. and as
the degree OF happiness in many
homes Of fruit growers depends upon
the grade of success the grower has.
IL becomes at once important that
the greatest possible success be at
tained And as to methods that may
be pursued there II "a great range of
possibilities. almost limitless in ex-
tent. Therefore my problem will be
TO select what think Is the best
method to he followed I'm the light Of
all the experience have had.
A commercial apple In Colorado
may bc said TO be almost any variety.
In our country the North Fork Fruit
Growers association, OF which l am
a member. has some years shipped
as many as a hundred different varie
ties OF apples. This year we shipped
nfty-five. Some of these varieties we've
very good and some were very bad.
and yet do not recall IA single year
when n single variety has not been
sold at profit. There is vast
difference. however. as TO the amount
of profit. and therefore. where II IL
possible to do so IL is important to
grow the best varieties. And want
to say in this connection that every
apple grower in Colorado, unless he
II extremely wealthy to begin with,
In fact has all the money he wants
or ever expects to want. should
grow apples for money and for that
reason alone. This may seem SO
self-evldent to many that you Will
wonder why | speak OF it. But II It
Is selfevident that we should grow
apples for money. 1t is also self evil
dent TINT many are now failing To
make the most of their opportuni-
ties. Therefore the plain effort of
this paper will be to point out what
believe To be the best way to make
money out OF growing commercial
apples.
