LIVING NOT CHEAPER
DESPITE HUGE CROPS
Department Of Agriculture Doesn't
Think Consumer Will Be
Benefited.
With Farm Produce Worth So. 100.
100000, Prices Are Higher
Than Last Year.

Although 1918 will be chalked up by the
year in the matter of crop production in
the United States. according to a report
just issued. the department does not be-
lieve that a lower cost of living will re-
suit. Attention is called to the fact that
large amounts OF these surplus yields
are exported. The long line of distrib-
uters and middlemen between the farmer
and consumer control the market the
report says, because they are better or
ganized to keep informed of crop and
market conditions than the farmers. who
are not organized and as individuals are
helpless.
The most successful year of husbandry
in the United States brought forth
Sc, 100000 worth of crops, of which
81, S96OOO,O0O were represented by cereals
alone and $3.50, 100000 worth of animals
sold and slaughtered and animal prod
ucts. The value of the 1913 crops is
twice as great as that of 1899, more than
a billion dollars over 1909 and substan-
TALLY greater than 1912. OF all the crops,
however, it is estimated that 81 per cent
will remain farms where they were
produced. and that 20 per cent of the ami
NAL production will remain.
May Not Mean Cheaper Food.
However desirable increased produc-
ton farms may. appear to be from
the consumers standpoint. it does not
follow that such increased production
would result in any increase in the cash
income per farm or per capita of farm
population, that prices paid by con-
sumers would be any lower says the re-
port
The high prices paid by consumers,
ranging from > to nearly 800 per cent In
some cases more than the farmer re-
ceives. indicate that there is plenty of
room for lowering the cost of farm
products to consumers and at the same
time largely increasing the cash income
per farm without increasing farm produce
ton.
This condition is undoubtedly mar
keting problem, which will have to be
solved by better organization of farmers
and improved methods of marketing
When, as the result of such organiza-
ton and improved methods, the price Of
farm products can be maintained at a
higher level without increasing the cost
to consumers, farmers will be justified in
increasing the output of their farms with
a fair prospect of realizing q reasonable

last Wednesday without first paying
over a few dollars which he was ow-
ing and the landlord phoned Sheriff
Sampson TO meet the North Fork pas
senger train that morning and take
charge of the party described so min
utely that there was no trouble what
ever in Identification. The man was
taken in hand by the officer and he
was not little surprised at the ac-
tion. for he had only come down to
Delta for days business visit. He
had a round trip ticket in proof Of
his claim and stated that he was go-
ing back to Hotchkiss that evening.
The man was not jumping board
bill or leaving the country and Sheriff
Sampson being thoroughly convinced
of the mans innocence in the mat
ter promptly exonerated him and or

Important Bill of Senator
Stephan to Become Law

Among the several measures of i'm

last session of the General Assembly
by Senator Geo. Stephan of this city,
doubtless one of the most important
is that scheduled as Senate Bill No.
359 and entitled An Act to Provide
for the Promotion of the Uniformity
of Laws Among the States of the
United States and to make an Appro-
priation Therefor" This bill with
some fourteen others was signed by
Governor Ammons last Friday and has
now become law.

dents OF the states in this union there

assurance that no further trouble will
be had in the desired result.
Already many settlers have taken
land under this project with view
of establishing permanent homes and
there are many more keeping an eye
on the district who will now proceed
in the matter since it is assured that
water is to be made available.
One of the Montrose newspapers
referring to the recent deal and to
Col. Pepper who took part in the
transaction. has this TO say:
This sale makes it possible for the
work to be resumed, and Col Pepper
informs us it will be started at once
so that water may be running on the
land in June.
Col. /. n Pepper of this city, who
made this deal after other promoters
had failed, was but a few hours in
closing the transaction after he got
matters lined up. He tells us this is
but one of the many big deals he has
pulled off during the past % years,
and it is safe to say this will not be
the last one, as he is now working on
other large deals that will be of great
benefit to the settlement of the Wes-
tern Slope. The fame of Peppers
Gardens has spread all over the coun-
try. He is a man who does big things
as easily as the most OF us do very
small things. 1t can be truthfully said
that Col. Pepper has brought more
new settlers and more money into the
uncompahgre valley than any other
one man during the last few years
This is accounted for from the fact
that his extensive acquaintance in
financial circles puts him in touch
with moneyed men. He has also made
irrigation study, is an economist in
that line and all his undertakings
have been success. Col. Pepper is
a community builder.

Will Picnic On
The Black Mesa

Gunnison and Delta county people
are planning to picnic together on top
Of Black mesa, July 4th, in celebra-
tion OF the day and OF the compile
tion of work on the Black mesa road.
The Gunnison contractors are hus-
tling their end of the grade and will
soon have it completed. That has
been the hardest part OF the grading
on the entire road. and Commissioner
Geo. c. Wilson of Delta, thinks the
work through Delta and the corner of
Montrose counties can be also COM
pleted by the first of July.
Commissioner Wilson has good hope
that the state highway commission
will make a special appropriation to
cover at least a portion of the moder-
ate cost of work on the Black mesa
road. so that, with the forest fund
available. the burden upon individuals
will not be so great.
The p,SAsi~ wtY be o memorable as
well as enjoyable event, and the
scenic crest of Black mesa should
hold more attraction for the people
of Delta and Gunnison counties on
that day than a worlds fair.
The trip will be a delightful one
and no doubt everything will be ar
ranged so that all can enjoy them
selves to the fullest
This will be one of the most pleas
ing picnics of the season and you
