What Delta
Farms Produce

The question is sometimes asked by
people not acquainted with this sec
ton; What do Delta county farms
produce?
1t could be as easily answered
If in the form: What do Delta county
farms not produce?
To enumerate in part: We raise
alfalfa. potatoes, sugar beets, wheat,
oats. barley. melons and all kinds of
vegetables.
In fruits We raise apples. peaches,
plums. apricots. prunes, nectarines and
various other orchard products; /;
strawberries. raspberries. dewberries,
and blackberries.
In live stock We raise cattle. horses,
hogs and sheep.
In poultry We have all of the popu.
lar and fancy breeds. chickens. tur-
keys, ducks and geese.
The soils of Delta county farms, and
those contiguous. are reputed the most
durable as well as the most prolific TO
be found anywhere.
The crops raised often reach aston
ishing figures. There are records of
15 bushels of wheat per acre; of more
than 100 bushels of oats per acre: of
as high as 40 tons OF sugar beets per
acre: OF from three hundred to five
hundred sacks of potatoes and onions
per acre: OF a thousand dollars worth
of berries and five hundred dollars
worth OF vegetables taken from sin
gle acre. and of six tons Of alfalfa to
the acre.
The stock ranges are large. includ-
ing the permits for grazing on the two
nearby forests, the Battlement and
Uncompahgre national reserves.
Delta county claims the record as
the banner fruit producing county Of
this or any other state in the union.
but its claim in that direction is no
better founded than is its claim to the
banner county for production OF diver
sified agricultural crops, in proper
tionate acreage.

County Fair Is
Now On In Delta

Those who we're unfortunate enough
to have missed The County Fair at

hurry to get there tonight. for II is

Resolutions.

On July %, 1915, a gloom was
cast over the entire community,
when the sweet spirit of Sister
Eva Miles waited its way from
earth to the paradise Of God. She
was twenty-nine years, one month
of age the day of her burial. She
was a woman of unassuming
manner, of the highest character
and was always faithful and true
to all her friends, hence enjoyed
to remarkable degree the conf
dence and esteem Of all who knew
her. She was a most excellent
neighbor, who could always be
found on the side of right, and her
loving devotion to her husband,
father, mother, brothers and
sisters was indeed beautiful.
As a member of the Baptist
church she was true believer in
its great doctrines and principles,
and had implicit faith in the
Master which gave her a hope,
both sure and steadfast. Our
church has lost one Of its most
useful members. Also our Sun
day school and Ladies Aid society
one al their most jealous and
loyal workers, and her family and
friends one who was always
affectionate, fond and true, yet all
may be comforted in believing

automobiles will have no trouble
whatever in passing on this levee,
one going on the levee and the
other down the side. There has
been considerable complaint about
this levee, but with the arrange
ment provided there is no need
for uneasiness nor congestion,
as ample passing room has been

vent the possibility Of accidents.
