Grapes are the easiest fruit grown
and are quite regular troopers In
quantity they will grow more to the
acre than any other small fruit, and
while the price may not be large per

Al the conclusion of Mr.. sheridan's
talk there were several profitable dis
cussions by Mr.. Sale. Mayor Smith
and others.
At the suggestion OF President Da-
Wis. Mayor Smith exhibited one of the
ncr crates for sraail fruits rhieh. are
demanded by Law in many stafez and
are fat becoming used In all the bis
markets Of the country. This new
crate IL known as the Dry Measure or
Standard Crate. II measures rs cubic
inches 10 the gallon and the crates
Will cost between - and 80 cents
approximately. although no extensive
pricing has been made concerning
them OF late.
The crate for small fruit used here
Ia known as the Wine Measure and
measures about 2si inches. Mr.. Smith
suggested that perhaps IL would be a
good idea to get this crate into use as
soon as possible. beSause IL Is only
matter Of tine when IL will be re-
auired by law In Colorado. Other
states have iegisiated already against
what Is generally known as the short
measure. or method OF Grating used
in this local ".
The new crates come to the dealer
and consumer in very convenient
shape and are put together much like
ar apple box. The cups or small boxes
are already made up.
In discussing Mr.. Sheridan's paper.
Mr.. Sale stated that there were not
as many strawberries grown in this
valley as there might be because the
undertaking In hazardous and some
times disappointing. But he said that
wiihaii its discourasements he thought
Il perhaps one Of the most promising
of the small fruit crops. Principally
for two reasons. One of them was
that the northern Colorado crop which
In other years has crowded the Dem
yer market and made poor selling for
the Canon City strawberry was gradu-
ally becoming less apparent and was
rctroerading rapidly. This he said was
giving the Canon City berry a much
better market His second reason was
that in Missouri they are growing
