son, results will not be nearly so
good. The market during the last
ten days has been demoralized. The
shipping at Rocky Ford has contin-
ued heavy all season and the wealth
er for the last two or three weeks
has been against us in all eastern
markets and our stock has not stood
up as well as usual At the time
our shipments were very heavy and
the markets very low, we held back
some cars from market. believing
every day that the market would

better it has continued to become

remember it takes from ten to
twelve days from the time your mel

caught us with from fifty to seven

we had every reason to believe the

Cantaloupe Returns DiscOuraging.

Delta cantaloupe growers are
greatly discouraged over the re-
turns from shipments, which were
said to be from nothing or little
less up to fifteen cents a crate.
This has proven especially dis
couraging to Delta growers who
only last year organized their asso-
citation and began raising canta-
taloupes in sufficient numbers to
make carload shipments.
The season proved very pro-
ductive one and the late frosts kept
them crowding into market until a
period when it was expected the
trade would take an upward turn.
Whether this was the whole reas-
on or whether part may have been
due to poor management in market
ing, cannot of course be made clear
without due investigation. The same
thing has happened in the case of
other products from time to time,
and after that same product became
top-notcher in prices a year ahead
1t will be remembered that even
such a staple as potatoes beanie a
drug three years ago and even those
stored over winter were in some
cases sold for stock food at 25
cents per sack. Since that period
the crop has proven a bonanza to
growers.
In explaining the cantaloupe sit
uation this fall. John e. Moore.
manager of the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers association, has
sent out the following letter to the
growers:
II find that up to date we have
paid the growers for about half the
cantaloupes covering this season s
shipments. The prices so far as we
have paid you, no doubt will be Ell
tirely satisfactory. We believe
what we have paid up to date will

1t is difficult to tell whether the
alleged political reforms that have
swept certain states will prove sat
isfactory or unsatisfactory, until
they have been tried. In their criti-
cisms their enemies point plaus-
IDLY to the harm they may do and
their friends acclaim in equally strid-
ent tones, the good they will accom-,
plish. The proof of the pudding will
be the chewing-of the pudding, lat
er, and not the 'chweing of the
rag, - as at present. Attempted
reforms are all right; they serve
as checks to rapacity-but the peo-
pie must come to exercise their
cool judgement in order to get the
greatest amount of good from the
laws they enact.

Intensive Farming.

In no part of the world can bet
ter study of intensive farming be
made than in Delta county.
This is not true because of great
advancement having been made
here. or because the idea has been
to any great extent developed, but
because the land here is so well
adapted; because given number
of acres will produce more of one
crop and will grow a greater num-
Der of difficult products than like
number of acres elsewhere.
This has been demonstrated
fact in the number of cases prac-
ticed. and that cultivation of our
soils is not more generally on the
intensive order, is due to the fact
that land has been too plentiful. or
course this will all be changed as
years go by. Hundred-acre farms
will be reduced to forty, then to
twenty and in many cases families
will be making a living and putting
money in the bank off of ten and
even five acre tracts, thing that
it has already been proven can be
done.

Fruit Growers of County

Arranging for Apple Show
A meeting of Delta county fruit
growers and the business men in
general, was held in the county cour
house yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of deciding upon some plan
for making the best showing of our
products at the National Apple Con
gress to be held in Denver next
month and for the disposition OF
other important matters now pend
ing in connection with the show.
One subject for general discus
sion was the forming into a district
or districts to make the exhibit of
fruit in the Denver display and this
question was not settled when the
Independent went to press. The
question of chartering special train
to convey Delta county people to
and from the apple show was also
up for discussion.
7. X. Seaton was granted power
to look after publicity matters in
Denver during the show and will be
responsible for exhibits of both
fruit and literature placed in hotel
Hobbies that week. Committees were
named to secure and manage eX-
hibits from this county, but this
also, happened too late to publish
the names on those com mittees this
week

Denver is complaining. Denver
is not much on complaining, but
heavy on the grab. Whom Denver
complains there must be something
really wrong, like a shortage of the
graft harvest. 1t may be rememb ered
however, that the people of Den
Yer have to pay nearly five million
dollars property tax, amounting to
per capita of nearly s23 a head
for every man, woman and child of
its population, in addition to other
CRAFTS which may be reason enough
for some of them to complain.

Student Accidentally Shot by Chum

At Fort Collins this week the use
less revolver caused one more acct
dentad death when G. c. Stafford
aged 20, was shot and killed by his
chum, James Chisholm, aged IS
years. Both boys were students of
the Agricultural college. The gun
was in the room, was picked up by
Chisholm for. inspection. was car
lessfy handled, his chum killed and
his own life made wretched by the
terrible deed accidentally committed.
The greatest of the morals to be
deduced is that the gun should not
have been there. A college boy has
no business with revolver in his
room or about his person. bright
young life was snapped out because
of it and a worthy family lost their
cherished son.

1t later develops that equal suf-
ferage won in the California consti-
lutional amendment election, but
only by a bare few thousand. If
women want to vote there is no
reason why they should not. If
there is any progressive measure
in politics, this should have been the
first one. 1t is as much a wom-
an right to vote as it is to hold
property, and voting does not make
her less feminine, less motherly or
less ladylike We are not what
could be called a woman's rights
crank, except that We believe that
woman should have every right
that is hers, just as every man
should have and enjoy every right
that is or should be his. To vote
honestly is not debasing. To vote
even for candy or chewing gum is
no worse than to vote for cigars
and whisky. For the women to
vote will make those who are good,
better; will make good men better
and will make the state or nation
better. More than this, the state
or nation which does not soon ac-
knowledge this and acceed the righ'
to its women to vote, will find itsel

there, sentiment against it grows
stronger. and if assertions by parties
that the Georgia Power Company does
not hold title to certain land upon
which 1t is building its plant is true,
the resolution of Senator Prather, of
the Thirty-first district, which was re-

passed, will stop the destruction there.
