Enthusiastic Over

Fruit Output

President George w. Vallery of the
Colorado Midland railroad and Gen
eral Agent George w. Martin of the
Rock Island returned to Denver yes
terday from a tour of inspection Of
the fruit crops in the Grand valley
and were united in the opinion that
the crop will be the largest by a
goodly margin, ever harvested, says
the Denver Republican.
The officials met First Vice Presi-
dent j. Il. German of the Rock ISL
and at Grand junction. and the
three went to Fruita by electric line
and to Palisade by automobile, thus
traversing the entire valley.
THE trip was a revelation" said
Mr. Martin last night. Conditions
are even better than they had been
represented by the growers, and the
revenues derived from the sale of
Grand valley apples, peaches, pears,
apricots and plums will go long
way toward restoring normal state
of business in Colorado this fall.
