TELL OF THE AWFUL
CONDITIONS IN BELGIUM

Mr.. and Mrs. Henri Miohot. refu-
gees from the war devastated dis
trict OF Belgium. arrived here from
England on an early train Thursday
morning and will make their home
with their son. Louis Michot. and wife
and Mrs. Michot say that conditions
in Belgium resulting from the war
are infinitely worse than have been
reported in the American newspapers
and that the excuses committed by
the German troops at the time OF the
invasion OF the country in August
1914, are indescribabie in Their hor-
ror.
ants OF both sexes were wantonly
murdered. according 10 Mr.. Michot.
by the invaders without any justin
cation on the score OF military neces-
sity. Every offense in the category OF
crime was committed. he says. and
the most sacred rights OF the people
wantonly violated. AS n result of the
war Belgium has been changed from
the most prosperous TO the most power
ty-stIicken country in Europe.
Mr.. Michot made his way 10 the
coast after the capture OF Brussels
and with thousands OF his countrymen
went TO England. Later his wife join
ed him there after suffering great
hardships In her native land. She was
forbidden to leave Belgium by the
Germans. but managed to escape TO
the English lines one dark. rainy night
and was finally sent to London with a
lot of other refugees.
MIR and Mrs. Michot say that much
uneasiness exists In England on ac-
count of the Zeppelin air raids and
that as a rule people there are sleep
ing very uncomfortably.
Mr.. and Mrs. Michot are glad to be
in the United States, where they are
safe from the terrors Of war. Their
son and wife came to this country two
years ago. just before tie outbreak OF
hostilities between Germany and
France.

Mr.. 1ROUTMLN MAKES
INVESTIGATION OF FRUIT
PROSPECTS AROUND HERE
Editor Canon City Record,
Canon City, Colorado.

Canon City, Colorado.
Dear Sir
during the past two or thi ee weeks
there have been a great many con-
ficting repo. is as to the exact condi-
ton of the fruit crop in the Canon
City district.
Dozens of individual insr ect'ons
have been made, but due to the fact
that no matter how thoroughly these
inspections have been, the percentage
of the total acreage covered has been
50 small that the reports have been
conflicting.
One inspector would visit orchards
where there was nothing and his re-
ports would naturally be very pessi-
mistic-another inspector would visit
orchards where there was s?rinkling
of fruit and his report would often be
too optimistic.
Realizing the eat interest in this
matter, and believing that it is OF the
utmost Importance to the entire COM
munity to secure accurate information
as to the actual condition of the entire
district, we have recently sent oat
several hundred inquiries to the lead
ing growers asking them to examine
their orchards carefully ard to report
the condition of their own orchards.
The questions which the growers
answered are as follows:
How many acres have you in
fruit?
2.-What percenta e of an apple
crop have you in ght?
3.-How many boxes of apples did
you have last year?
4.-How many boxes do you expect
this year?
5.-Are the apples that remain on
your trees, that are growing green on
the inside, brown or black?
6.-How many crates of cherries did
you have last year?
7-How many crates of cherries do
you expect this year?
Slow many crates of other small
fruits do you expect to have; Currants
........ .Gooseberries? .............
Strawberries? .............
All of the reports are not yet in but
to date we have received reports from
113 growers, covering an acreage of
56S acres, averaging about acres to
the grower. These growers harvested
last year 164, sos boxes of apples. They
estimate a prospect this year of 1926
boxes which figure Az 20 of last
years crop.
The growers re ort the apples re-
manning on the trees as being green,
brown and black, which would indi-
cate a further shrinkage in their esti-
mate.
Out Of the above 113 growers, Ss
growers report hayng harvested TO-
SIS crates Of cherries last year and
estimate their present crop at 1853
crates which figures Is 2-10% of last
years cherry crop.
These me growers report 800
crates of raspberries.
The reports which have been re-
ceived are we'll scattered over the en-
tire district, from the East and West
ends and the middle of Lincoln Park,
Orchard Park. Park Center, Fruit
mere and Four Mile.
We believe that the foregoirg is as
close and accurate an estimate of the
percentage of the fruit crop in the en-
tire district as can be obtained and we
respectively request that you publish
TIE foregoing information for the
baneGt of these interested in tie fruit
crop conditions.
Yours very truly,
TIE ROUND CREST FRUIT co.
