DELTA TOOK EVERYTHING
WORTH WHILE AT PUEBLO
Brings Home $50 Premiums and
Gets Sweepstakes on Fruit
and Potatoes.

The banner county of Delta is
left in the lead with $50 premiums.
This is a remarkable showign for
one county to make at state fair,
but is exactly in line with Delta
county's exhibit record at every
fair, exposition, fruit or land show
where her products have been
shown.
This unbroken chain of triumphs
has gained for her the name OF
Banner County of the United Stat
es, and that title is merited. All
who make proper investigation will
agree.
Her thousands of premiums are
proof. They tell of merit and quail
ity. but not of the super-abundance
of yield. However the figures OF
yield are easily obtainable and. they
also. cinch the title of Banner
County" for Delta. for. of her nat
ural products, fruits. grains. alfal-
IA. potatoes. sugar beets and mel
ons, her soils compared in acreage
with other counties. outstrip them
All in quantity of yield as well as in
quality
