COMMUNICATION.

Editor Sentinel:
In your issue of even date, Mr..
Fred ShaffeT, secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, says he will insist
that Mrs. Shaffer buy nothing but
Grand Junction flour, on account of
home product. While this subject
of home product is agitated by the
worthy secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, would it not help Mesa
county and Grand Junction more if
our Chamber of Commerce would
start a new movement to increase our
whe-s acreage, so that when the
O. Boyle mills name was on Grand
Junction sack OF flour II would mean
home production and would not mean
that it was made from Utah Idaho,
or Wyoming wheat?
AS a citizen and taxpayer of Grand
Junction. what we want is to develop
this country and to do this let us
get down to propositions that wiz in
crease our resources, from the farms
whether we eat bread made from
wheat grown in Utah or some state
outside Of Colorado: Why don't our
Chamber of Commerce do something
to encourage more men to engage
in farming? Has the Chamber of
Commerce the figures on the wheat
production of Mesa county? If they
have, they know that Mesa county
does not produce enough wheat to
run our little mill, 80 days in the
year.
About four-fifths of the flour sold
in Grand Junction and the Western
Slope is shipped in and the rate of
freight is soc per hundred from COM
mon points 10 Grand Junction. If
Mesa county would grow wheat
enough to supply her own people with
flour, then O'Boyle's mill could make
the same flour the year round, as the
mills do in northern Colorado, that
are supplying more than so per cent
of the flour consumed annually on
the Western Slope.
The advancement of Mesa county
is mutual, so let us all, including the
Chamber of Commerce, go to work,
without any hollering or noise and
work for the upbuilding of Mesa
county. Good honest work will bring
the results, for we have splendid op-
portunities here. for the producer;
SO let us all unite to increase our
production in Mesa county.
