Editor Lacy OF the Gazette-Topic
in one OF his issues last week devotes
considerable space to fishing trip
indulged In by party of Fordites at
Lake Meredith, and their encounter
with an ''across the river breeze" and
and rain storm. 1t was very humor-
GUS and not stretched the least little
bit. II judged by the antics Of the ele-
ments about three miles this side OF
Lake Meredith week ago last Sun

Reports Exaggerated

f. W. Brainard of Canon City was in
Ordway several days the past week on
business concerning the exchange of
his property in Canon City for some Of
the "cream OF the valley" meaning
lands about Ordway. Mr.. Brainard.
In discussing the reported ravages OF
the leaf roller and coddling worm on
fruit trees in the Canon City district,
said that they we're somewhat exagger-
ated. He admitted that the damage
done SO far was serious, but that the
growers were working hard to cxter.
inmate the pests, stating that in his
estimation the damage would not go
over 25 per cent. Some OF that dam
age, according to Mr.. BraInard, must
be credited to late frosts, which In that
district do their damage In strips.
To illustrate, he said that last year
his orchards were not hurt by frost,
but that neighbor across the. road
had big per centage Of his crop killed.
This year his fruit caught 1t and the
neighbours was not harmed. The dam.
age by the leaf roller seems to be con-
fined mostly to apple trees. There js
little evidence OF 1t on other fruits.
Mr.. Brainard says that the cherry
crop will be a bumper one, and that
Strawberries are the finest he ever saw
and the growth heavy. shipments of
which to outside territory have been
going on for some days.
In commenting On the land about
Ordway, Mr.. Brainard says that it
looks good to him, and that in his
opinion our truckers are missing a
good opportunity by not raising straw
berries more extensively, He thinks
there is just enough heaviness to the
land to make strawberries hustle to
get started. but that after they did
get started they would grow and bear
we'll.

Ordway bids fair to become the
cleanest, healthiest little town on
the map. Measures adopted by the
town council recently for cleaning up
are being pretty generally observed.
and the spirit OF cooperation shown
by the majority Of citizens is highly
commendable. Others, not appreciat
ing the necessity for cleanly premis
es. especially during the hot summer
months to come. will have more
stringent methods applied as persuad-
ers.
Last week there was issued by the
council circular calling on all citi-
zens to put their premises in ship
shape aud this request was pretty
generally complied with. For the
benefit Of those who have not yet
complied with the request to clean
up, either through neglect or contrar-
iness, there is being mailed addition.
