DELTA, COSTING THOUSANDS

Another new industry for Delta.
A B. Crabill arrived home last night
from Denver and Pueblo points, bring
ing the welcome news that he had ar
ranged for the purchase of an up-to-
date alfalfa meal mill.
The new industry will be housed at
the Delta Flour Mills, they having
ample quarters and much of the re-
quired equipment. The new industry
will be driven by water power and is
capable of handling 60 tons of alfalfa
hay daily.
The machinery for the mill will be
Monday, and it is expected that within
80 days they will grinding alfalfa into
a finished meal product.
l Mr.. Crabill and Mr.. Obert, the two
active heads of the flour mill have had
this matter under serious considera-
tion for some time past, and when
the building of the sugar factory was
assured, Mr.. Crabill Immediately left
for the Arkansas valley and other
Colorado points and fully investigated
the various mills of the Eastern slope.
The mill is of Hochenauer Alfalfa
Mill Manufacturing company's latest
design, considered to be the best type
OF mill that is made. It is claimed
that these grinders were designed with
the prime aim of manufacturing a
mill that is so simple that they do not
require only minimum of power to
turn out a fine quality of meal and
still have the greatest capacity.
Every stockfeeder and farmer and
dairyman will welcome the coming of
this industry to Delta 1t will make
stable market and a good price for
hay, and taking into consideration
the by-product that will be available
at the sugar factory, makes the indus
try of double value of the farmers of
the Delta section.
The Independent is glad to be able
to report this week that the sugar
has brought another industry to us.
We hope that it will prove very profit
able to the mill people and will be of
the utmost benefit financially to every
farmer that has hay to sell.
