The PnhIic ShonId Know.

Nearly every spring, when a be
lated frost comes along sufficiently
biting to scare people up, great
wall goes up about the fruit, which
fmay or may not be seriously dam
aged.
As a matter of fact the orchards
have been made rather too much OF
an advertising card. Our people
are in love with their orchards and
the splendid fruit they produce, OF
course, but so much has been said
about the orchards that the public
mas been almost led to believe US
entirely dependent upon them.
This is by no means the case. Our
OF those of any agricultural middle
state. We grow thousands of acres
of sugar beets. Our gardens and
melcn patches pay profits almost
equal to fruit We raise stock and
poultry Our farms are capable of
producing even much more than
they do. in diversified crops. And
these can be depended upon year
liter year.
1t is true that the orchard owner,
when he strikes a good crop and
a good market, may take in as mucf
money in one season as the field
crops bring him in four; but. in an
average of every five years his field
products will place him fully even
with those from his orchard.
We are not knocking on fruit
industry. Ii is a joy and a God
given blessing. but we do not want
our score of other equally import
ant resources overlooked.
We expect fine fruit crop this
year, particularly in apples-the
greatest of all commercial orchard
products. and of which trees Delta
county has many thousands of acres
and we know. also. that we Will
have our great field crops to help
out the profits.

DENVER MAY NOT YET
GETI. 0. O. F. HOME
Site Offered Has Been Turned
Down by Committee as Be-
ing Objectionable.

1t is now CLAIMED that Denver has
fallen down on tnelr proposition
TO donate $4,000 for the proposed
Odd Fellows Home; also that the
site they offered has been rejected
by the committee in charge, as
Objectionable and not what it was
represented.
Denver is som ewhat noted for be-
ing long on promises and short on
making good.
AT the last convention, when the
matter of locating the Home was
supposed to have been settled, Delta
and other points made the strong
est fight they could for the location,
to mean what they said.
Denver became scared and ap-
parently made its usual two-by-twice
bluff in the offer of a desirable site
and a donation of $4,000 cash.
If the report is true which is be-
ing published in state papers, to
the effect that the site has been re-
jected and the money not forth-com-
ing. Delta may yet have a chance to
secure the Home. as she was Den

WHAT THE RECENT COLD
SPELL PROVED
After the Fruit Trees Are
in Bloom.

The question arises, if Delta
county fruit can stand tempera-
ture of from Is to 20, what could
1t not stand?
1t is rare indeed that the temper
ature reaches anything like so low
mark after any of the fruit has
budded The snap of last week was
freak of weather which is for
tunately of rare occurrence.
Coming at the time it did, the
apple crop was not within its reach.
or course the peaches, plums and
apricots were damaged. perhaps in
some orchards almost wiped out.
But it is reported that the county
will have lots of peaches. few
apricots. a good yield of pears. and
that the great area of apple orch
ards are entirely unharmed.
Had the same degree of cold came
later. when the apple trees We're in
bloom, it would doubtless proven
far more disastrous, as our orch
ard owners are not all prepared
to smudge to the extent that would
have been necessary to save even
a fair part of the fruit
The cold spell has taught, how
ever. that much fruit can, on the
average. be saved by heating. and
that orchard heaters, with oil at
seven or eight cents per gallon. are
not an Improbable investment when
needed, When growers have crop
at stake worth 100000 TO s5,-
600. 900, IT allows for a pretty heavy
smudging expense.
Again, the experience commends
the good sense of our fruit growers
in cultivating, to so large an ex-
tent. hardy, mercantile varieties Q
apples.

MUCH SMUDGING DONE
IN GRAND VALLEY
Nearly Every Citizen Out to Assist
in Fight to Save Fruit From
The Frost.

Delta people who saw the orchard
heaters at work IN the Grand val
ley last week unite in praise OF the
organization down there.
Every available man was listed
in some certain orchard. When
needed he was called up and told
where to go. In due time the orch
ard was called up and asked If he
was there. If he was not mes
senger was sent for him and If he
could not go, another man was
sent in his place. The narrator said ::
There was but a handful of men
left in Grand junction during the
four nights of smudging and that
during the day worn out people
would go to sleep walking on the
street / had a deal with a business
man which l was anxious to close.
but he went to sleep in his office
and snored while l was talking to
him about it.
Peculiar traits of the cold We're
noted down that way On Orchard
Mesa there was an absence of the
wind current and the blaze of the
heaters was kept at its full height,
resulting in a saving of the peach
crop. II is added, however, that
the cold there was several degrees
less than in other spots.
Down in the valley a difference
of five or six degrees was marked
between orchards within rifle shot
of each other. Where the wind was
blowing most, the blaze of the heat
ers was kept near the ground and
but half of their temperature raising
power was realized.
The people of Mesa county GER
tainly made a heroic effort. and
whatever of their fruit crop they
have saved can be credited to that
effort.
With the experience gained they
will have learned more about the
practical possibilities of smudging
than all the colleges and experiment
tai tests would divulge, in a life
time.

Snowfall in the Mountains.

The snowfall during March was
much below the average throughout
the region drained by the South
Platte and the North Platte. For
the Arkansas watershed. conditions
were less uniform, the deficiency
being confined to Lake county where
the river has its source. and to
the districts drained by its southern
tributaries in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties. while in Chanee
county there was more than the
normal snowfall. over the Rio
GIande watershed n deficiency was
noted for the month; but moder-
ate excess occurred in Saguache
county. a region draining into San
Luis lakes. The distribution was
also irregular over the region
drained by the Grande. In Summit
county, drained by the Blue, an
important tributary, there was a
marked deficiency of snowfall. while
in Eagle county an excess was not
ed. The Gunnison watershed had
more than the normal snowfall dur
ing March. and the same is true of
the San Juan watershed, but the
opposite is true of the Yampa and
White
The month was warmer than the
normal and there was considerable
melting. but the run-off due to high
temperature was much less than dur
ing the corresponding month last
year.
Comparing the depths on the
ground at the end of the month with
the depths on the corresponding date
last year, the reports make very
favorable showing. In the follow
ing comparisons the average depth
on March 31st of this year is
given first: South Platte watershed,
~ inches as against Z inches for
the North Platte the values were
II inches and S inches; Arkansas.
6 and 10 inches: Rio Grande, II
and 12 inches: Grand, 20 and IA
inches; Gunnison. 30 and 16 inches;
Yampa and White. 19 and in
ches San Juan and Dolores, 16 and
s inches. In general the snow is
well packed.
The above figures are based on
data furnished by the forest SER
vice and by mountain snowfall OBJ
servers OF the weather bureau. The
values in all cases are measured
depths as shown by the snow scales
graduated boards numbered from
to 227, permanently located in the
seventeen national forests in Colo
rado. The scales are read at the
close of each month by the rangers
of the forest service, and furnish
reliable data regarding the current
depth of snow on the upper drain
age areas.

FREEZE DID VERY LITTLE
DAMAGE HERE
Peaches in North Fork Section Not
Far Enough Advanced to be
Injured.

The freezing weather of last
week was freak spell, accounted
for in part by weather experts as
a result of the phenomenal atmos-
pheric disturbances when tornadoes
and cyclones made havoc OF lives
and property over a number of
states.
The peaches in Paonia and the
whole North Fork valley have not
been touched by frost SO far.
Our misfortune in having some
of our peach buds killed is very
small compared with those storm
ridden states.
In the way of experience the
weathering of the late cold snap
is a revelation to our fruit growers.
1t taught them much of what the
smudge pot can do and gave them
an idea also of the large amount
of freezing fruit trees in certain
stages can endure and still produce.
Possibly never in history has
there been so many fruit buds on
the trees as this spring, rating from
five to ten times more than the
trees could be allowed to retain in
order 10 produce perfect and mar
ketable fruit, and never were trees
put to a harder test than in going
through the spring cold snap OF last
week. when the mercury went down
to from 25 to l6 degrees above zero
for three succeeding nights. Re
suits claimed. apples are unhurt,
mainly because they were not far
enough advanced. Pears have suf-
g.1l In
most sections. Peaches We're dam
aged perhaps SO per cent. In some
orchards more. in others less. Apri-
cots and foreign varieties of plums
were damaged most. but their rank
among the fruit products is least OF
all. Most OF the cherries We're not
advanced enough to be thought to
have been seriously damaged.
Among Delta county fruit pro-
ducts the apple is king. The dem
onstration for number of years OF
its yield. market and keeping quail
ties. has led to its larger planting,
and there is yet no proof that this
movement on the part of the fruit
growers Is not n wise one.
At this date the main April cold
spell IS over with. and IL is no;
within the line of reason TO ex-
pect another one as severe this
spring Our people are hopeful of
n big apple crop. with plenty of
peaches, pears. cherries and small
fruits.
Two years ago Delta county is
said to have shipped more apples
than any other county in the United
States. There is still chance for
her to repeat that record this sea-
son.

Optimistic on Fruit Outlook.

II Colorado doesn't have fruit
crop this year. 1t won't be on ac-
count of its newspapers. Here is
one from Mondays Rock Mountain
News:
so far as can be told at this
time. Colorado is in for the record
fruit crop of her history. The
frost has been thoroughly beaten.
Apples on the Westrn Slope are
hardly damaged at all. Peaches
are cut down from 40 to so per
cent-according to present advices.
Those who remember that in ordi-
nary years, one has to pull on
three-fourths of the set fruit from
an EIberta tree will wait for later
dispatches before making up their
mind to go without the best peaches
~ the world. Canon City seems to
have escaped almost altogether
and though no detailed reports are
in from the lower Arkansas val
ley. the chances are in its favor.
A part of this good news is due
to the cold winds which plagued the
town dwellers so much for the past
month. These kept back the fruit
buds until the danger from frost
was past But more of the credit
Is due TO the orchard heater; and
to the enterprise and energy OF the
growers who provided themselves
with such frost-fighting machinery. >"

Delta SmudgiEg.

There was also large amount
of smudging done in Delta county
largely over Surface Greek, Paonia
and Hotchkiss sections, and doubt
less with better results, as the
mercury was not so low and the
fruit generally less advanced. AT
Paonia the peaches are reported
to still be good prospective crop.
Lower down the damage was great
er, though there is still expected a
fair lot of peaches, while pears are
reported to have suffered still less
damage. The apple crop. which is
our main one. is said to be unhurt.

Expense of Smudging.

Even estimating that smudging
may cost in single (perhaps eN-
ceptional year, one-third of the
average value of the production Of
the orchards, and the cultivation,
care of trees and marketing Of
crops averages another third. the
fruit growers would still have the
advantage of saving the other third
for profit. Basing the value of a
fruit crop in Delta county at So
100000 and allowing that the crop
was saved by smudging. it would
mean saving to growers of
million dollars profit and another
million dollars worth of labor,
which is not so bad showing for
the argument of smudging after
all

ALLEGED NIGHT RIDERS
WERE DISCHARGED
Reported That a More Thorough In
vestigatiOn May be Made by
the japanese.

The four men arrested last week
on charge of being the ones who
drove out the Japanese laborers at
work on the Stockham ditch on
Antelope hill in February, had a
hearing before Justice Coombe in
Delta Tuesday. Clarence VanAken
and Clyde Coin were dismissed
early in the day, the prosecution
admitting that it had no legal evil
dence against them Wilbur Webb
and Matt. Thompson had their hear
ing, the taking of testimony and
arguments taking up the entire
day.
At the close of the case Justice
Coombe admitted that the court
was not convinced by the testimony
that the defendants were guilty of
having participated in the riot,
and that. so far as his court was
concerned, they were discharged.
The matter which occasioned the
arrest of these men has created
widespread interest. small party
of japanese were employed at ditch
work on Antelope Hill, between
Austin and Eckert About the 5th
of February it is alleged that a
number of mounted horsemen es-
cOrted them from the ditch to the
foot OF the mesa, with a warning
that they should not return.
The matter was reppoprted to
Japan's representative at Denver,
who has spent considerable time
here, personally making investiga-
tions, which resulted in the arrest
of the parties mentioned. their pre-
liminary hearing and discharge, as
stated.
Further effort, it is said, will
be made by the Japanese repre-
sentative and the district attorneys
office, to sift the matter and, if
possible, bring to punishment the
parties aggressing. which, however,
promises to prove a difficult un-
dertaking. owing to the hard mat
ter of getting evidence.
