movement is on foot among
some OF Fruita's enterprising people,
with !. II. WhitttemOre at the head,
to get car load OF dairy cows into
the valley. With good creamery at
Grand Junction and good shipping
facilities, the dairy business is sure
to be profitable one. II has been
thoroughly demonstrated that Grand
Valley farmers must engage in other
pursuits than straight fruit raising.
Any of the old-timers can tell you
that, vixen diversified farming was
the order of the day, the incomes eX-
cee,led the expenses and only when
everyone went into one kind OF busi-
hess only, did money become scarce
article. With creamery. a sugar
factory and canning factories
throughout the valley, numerous ca
nails filled with plenty of water, fer
tile soil that will grow any crop,
there 10 no reason why Grand Valley
farmers cannot have plenty of money.
MIR. Whittemore would like to see
and talk with anyone interested in
the purchasing OF dairy cows.
