CROWLEY COUNTY
IS FINDING HERSELF
Compartive Figures Show Great Ac-
ttvity During the 1917
Season

That Crowley county Is waking
up, finding herself as 1t were, is
thoroly demonstrated even to the
most casual observer by a compari-
son Of crops and results In 1912 and
1917. In Olney Springs in 1912 one
could not get fresh vegetables in sea-
son for the table except by shipping
from the Pueblo market. Such arti-
cles as fruit, peas, beans, cucumbers,
tomatoes, squash, lettuce and onions
were q disappointing luxury because
of the prohibitive price Of wiitei
goods. In 1917 almost any vege-
table which can be grown IN this att
tude can be had for the asking. Jhe
kuhner Pickle company has thriv-
ing factory in Olney Springs and she
crowley canning factory, under the
efficient management of w. 3 New
lon, has made a most successful run
this season. This factory was opened
July 26 and will probably not finish
until Christmas time. The first run
was on cherries, working the men
two shifts of twelve hours and the
women three of eight hours each.
Four hundred thousand pounds of
cherries were canned, which when
shipped, made ten cars OF 10000
pounds each. Besides this 400 dozen
gallon cans of cherry juice for soda
fountain use were canned. August
81 the run on tomatoes began, re-
sulting in 100000 pounds of toma-
toes being used. which made 276,OOO
quart cans or 1850 cases of to-
matoes. Besides all this carload
Of tomato pulp was canned for to-
mato catsup. Difficulties were met
especially the question of help. Mr..
Newton thot at one time this great
crop would be wasted on account of
the shortage of help. The tomato
run closed last Saturday and Mon
day morning the run on canned
pumpkin began. After this apples
will be canned, which will bring the
closing of the factory for the season
close to the first of the new year.
The whole season was about two
weeks later than can be expected If
the frost had come al the usual
time. The tomato run would have
been greatly curtailed
