The editorial winds up with this
sage advice: 'As the fruit sections
in the natural rain belts are develop
ed the competition will be more acute
and the irrigation men might as we'll
begin to struggle with their prob
lem" And this is just what the ap-
pie men of the west are doing, and
they have much to learn as well as
the men who try to grow apples in
Iowa. 1t can be done, and the local
market in some qualities can be sup
piled, but when it comes to the extra
fancy. highly colored apples demand
ed by the high class trade, then we
cannot be equalled much less sur
passed.

j. G. Mariner. former Iowa man.
has handed me clipping from a
Cedar Rapids paper in which apples
grown in Iowa are compared with
those grown in western irrigated sec
tions. and it draws the following con-
clusion; "One OF the problems of
the western boomers is to get the
taste into their big apples, the spicy
juices. 1t does not come with any
of the fruits grown on irrigated
lands Now wouldn't that jar you?
And then this editor goes on to say
that our difficulty may be remedied
BY restoring to the soils certain of
the qualities which seem to be lack
ing, but il it is in the conditions of
tho soil which may lack certain quail
tiles or if it is the lack of sunshine.
then 1t cannot be remedied." And
what do you think of that?
Some twenty years ago I knew
the editor OF this Iowa paper, and he
was supposed TO be truthful. but he is
either prejudiced or is talking about
something OF which he knows moth
ing. | am tempted to send him a
box OF our Jonathans or Pearmains,
and just naturally paralyze the gen
tleman. We claim that the one i'm
portant quality which makes our
fruit superior to any other is the
quality-that very spicy flavor no
where else found. This Is admitted
by every Iowa man who has visited
this valley for years. 1t is our long
sunshiny days in August and Septem-
Der which adds the flavor, | have
eaten good apples in Iowa. but never
such apples as are grown in the irri-
gated valleys of Colorado.
