MERGER STILL
IN DOUBT; NO
DECISION
Local Directors Must Make Con-
CeSsiOnS, Say Growers Of PdI-
iSdiie; TO Call Meeting.

NNE step nearer a solution OF the
l marketing problem for the fruit
growers OF Grand Valley was
taken last night when the commit
tees which have been deliberating for
several days in the question of con-
solicitation were instructed to con-
tinues their efforts and attempt to
include all the fruit shipping agen-
cies in the valley in the movement.
Whether or not there is going to
be anything definite result from the
efforts of the committee is still con-
jectural In Palisade the sentiment
appears to be that 'it is up to Grand
Junction" If the Grand Junction
association does not make one or
more concessions they declare that
consolidation is hopeless.
The sentiment in this end of the
valley had not yet been guaged. 1t is
expected that a meeting will be call
ed for this city in the near future to
discuss it but in the meantime defi-
mite proposition from the Grand
Junction directors will be received.
Whether the local association board
will approve a proposition to change
the name and make it suggestive of
the entire valley or not is doubtful.
Most of the people who have been
connected with the movement upto-
date are frankly pessimistic but 9TH
ers are hoping that some amicable
settlement will be reached. Just
now, however. 1t depends on what
concessions the directors and growers
OF the old association are willing to
make to secure the support of the
people of the upper valley.

The number of men. women and chill
dren who derive keen pleasure and de-
light in flower growing Is multiplied
every spring. The number of pubic
parks. school gardens and private gar
dens whose owners are generous enough
to share their floral treasures with those
less fortunate was never so great as at
present. The interest thus called forth
deveIops a constant demand for new
flowers, as well as greater utilization
~ the old ones. so that the f1oriculturists
are continually kept busy to meet 1t.
The Department of Agriculture does all
in its power to further this interest. 1t
distributes flower seeds. bulbs and plants
issues bulletins of direction for their cul-
tvation. and also gives frequent eAniDi-
tons of floral beauties. These exhibit

In many parks where the wild flowers

Crop Shortage.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Serious shortage
exists in the worlds crop of grain for
1913. The supply is nearly 10 per cent
less than last year. The total deficien.
cy aggregates 1,250,000,000 bushels OF
the five grain staples. This shortage
is not made up by potatoes, the world S
supply of which is no greater than last
year, and 300, ,OOO,O 900 bushels less than
the worlds normal crop of 1910.
These amazing conclusions are indi-
Gated by the preliminary report upon
the worlds crops and the future of
prices prepared by Orange Judd Farm
er, the Chicago authority, of October /.
This authority emphasizes that the
four wheat, oats, rye and
probably be 500,000,00O
bushels LESS this year than two years
ago, but per cent MORE than in the
1910 crop.
