PROSPECTS FOR FREMONT COUNTY
BY r. r. JEFFRIEs, County Agricultural Agent.

Written for the Railroad Red Book.
The agricultural conditions of FIRE.
mont county cannot be spoken CT
without mentioning the fruit crop.
Canon City especially has always been
a consideration in discussing horti-
cultural sections of the state.
Canon City, nesting in little cup
like valley, surrounded on three sides
by mountains. has a climate admira-
bly, adapted to fruit growing. espe-

ton comprises an area of about thir-
ty-ive square miles. Canon City.

comparatively recent development.
bids fair to become noted fruit sec
tion.
Thousands of cherry trees have
been planted in the Penrose district
as filters for the apple orchard. These
young trees have already produced
such an abundant crop of cherries
that the possibilities of Penrose as a
fruit district have been demonstrated
beyond doubt. So profitable have
been the cherries that It will be an
act requiring more nerve than the
average man possesses to remove
them when the trees become so large
that the branches of the cherries and
the apples interfere and begin compe-
tition for sunlight and air. This lack
of nerve to take out trees that are
interfering is proving a fatal mistake
in many of the older orchards in the
Canon City district
The first requisite for success in
growing any agricultural product is a
natural adaptation to the climate and
soil in which it is grown. Natural
adaptation to crop for given To-
caiity must be satisfied before sue
cess can even be hoped for. This
natural condition of proper climate
and soil for fruit growing is perfectly
satisfied in Fremont county. Abund-
ant sunshine is our county asset II
is remarkable the amount of fruit
that sets on the trees. This fact can

Prospects for fruit the coming year
are very bright. An abundance Of
plump. healthy fruit buds await the

growers busy pruning. and when the
first few warm days arrive the spray

are insurance for a good crop.

factory are being standardized. 1t is
the trend of the times. and the fruit

it-farmers must come to a stand

Standardization is a long. tedious task.
but its rewards are more than worth
the effort
We are not only enjoying good
prospects for fruit. but are also happy
in the outlook for vegetable products
and alfalfa. These two crops are
often companion crops for our or
chards. Our early season gives us a
ready market and high prices for our
vegetables.
Alfalfa yields were above the av-
erage last year. and better season
for producing good alfalfa seed is
seldom seen. The farmers had plenty
of opportunity TO sell alfalfa at a
splendid price. but the supply could
not satisfy the demand.
All in all. we have every reason In
the world to be joyful over the pros
poets for Fremont county this coming
