HARRISON
APPOINTED

Formal appointment of w. Harri-
son of Clifton as county agriculturist
has been made by the county COM
missioners and Mr.. Harrison will take
up his duties on January /.
Mr.. Harrison, however, will enter
upon his duties as horticultural in
spector at once, and will take care of
any work in that line which may
come up.
Mr.. Harrison's district as farm eX-
pert and agriculturist, will be one of
the largest in the state. Mesa county
is one of the big counties of Colorado
and its needs are diverse and nu-
merous.
He will begin his duties by making
survey of the county as to its agri-
cultural needs and determine what
defects in management, methods or
marketing that exist He will help
to remedy these matters and will un-
doubtedly be able to render valuable
services to all interested in farming
or its allied industries.
Mr.. Harrison will have offices in
this city and will try to maintain as
regular office hours as his numerous
duties will permit.
Few men have tackled bigger jobs
or have carried to their work more
natural mental equipment than Mr..
Harrison as county agriculturist.

Hospital Romance
Ends in Wedding

The tender ministration of Miss
Mary Agnes Magill while nursing
Carl A. Chewing back to health in
St Mary's hospital two years ago
opened romance which eliminated
this morning in the wedding of the
couple at the home of Father T. NJ.
Conway. The ceremony was perform
ed at o'clock and all during the
day the couple have been the recipi-
ents of the warmest good wishes of
their many friends.
Mrs. Chewning was n nurse in St
Mary's for nearly two years. One of
her first cases at the hospital COM
menced when Mr.. Chewning was
brought there to undergo an opera
tion. She made deep impression
on the young man and the acquaint-
ance thus formed ripened quickly
into friendship and romance which
has been known by their friends for
some time.
Mr. Chewning is employed respon-
sibly at the sugar factory and the
couple will make their home at 1902
White avenue.
Mr.. Chewing has been resident
of the valley for 81 years and has a
host of friends all over the county.
He has lived for many years in the
Fruitvale district.

800 Cars Spuds
From Montrose

Montrose papers state that already
800 cars of potatoes have been ship
ped out of the Montrose section. The
cars carry 500 sacks of 115 pounds
each. This represents only 60 per
cent of the entire crop.
The average yield in that section
has been 80 sacks to the acre. while
some have reported yields as high as
$50 sacks to the acre. About 40
per cent of the 1913 crop has been
stored by the growers. who are wait
ing for better prices. Eugene Grubb
has given some valuable advice to
growers around Montrose, which has
increased their yields.

LOCAL FRUIT
ASSOCIATION
IN NEW UNION
PaIiSade Growers Anxious to
Have Consolidation With
Grand Junction Assn.
WOULD CHANGE ITS NAME

That consolidation of the West
ern Slope Fruit Growers assocfa-
tion with the Palisade Fruit Grow
ers' association will be authorized at
the growers mass meeting in Pali-
sade Tuesday night seems practical
ly certain. Today it appeared that
sentiment would be crystallized to-
ward the merging of the smaller as
sociations with the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers Association under q
new name and with a new board OF
directors.
That a merger of some sort must
be effected is the unanimous belief
of the people of the upper valley.
What trend union will take is
largely conjectural. However, the
least expensive plan doubtless is to
exchange stock of the smaller asso-
Citations for stock in the Grand juno
tion association. 1t would probably
be advisable to give the combined or
ganizations name more general in
character than that it now bears.
The Grand functions associations
work in Palisade during the past sea-
son was satisfactory TO their clients,
according to all reports.
The following prices were averag-
this season on all carload shipments
of Elbertas which came up to grade
specifications:
Extra Elbertas, 59c.
Nineties, 42c.
One hundred Eighths, csc.
The general average for the Elber-
tas was As Y &C to the grower.
These prices have been very pleas
ing to the growers of the upper val
ley, and will add strength to the
movement to combine the entire
fruit growing. interest Of the valley
under one strong association.
Ii is possible that some concessions
viii be asked, but il is becoming
more aud more likely that the grow
ers will agree on some basis of nego-
tiations which will insure single
marketing agency for the entire val
ley.

Appointment OF
Fruita Mayor is
Being Contested

The appointment of Dan W. Lynch
as mayor of Fruita, to succeed Ar
thur j. Lee, who resigned some time
ago, has been formally contested by
j. n. Corbin.
Mr.. Corbin was formerly town
marshal and water superintendent of
Frufta, and shortly after Lynch took
office he was discharged as marshal,
and he then resigned from the rest
of his duties.
Said to be smarting under the dis
charge, Mr.. Corbin has filed a state
ment in which he declares that the
appointment of Lynch was not legal,
and that the office should be declar-
ed vacant.
The fight will probably so into the
courts, unless some early settlement
is made. The bitterness over the
struggle is growing rapidly.
