John went first
Perhaps It was right that John
should have gone first. He was
always the most venturesome.
Seven days later Jim followed
him.
John and Jim were born some 1s
years ago in the warehouse OF a

thought that the brothers would

the use he could be.
But somehow, John and Jim, ere
they we're many days old became
beloved OF the whole force OF the
grocery company. No one would
take II upon themselves to separate
them and so the mother and her two
young sons became members OF the
grocery company's family.
They were wonderful pals. When
John went to battle with some ally
invader, Jim always followed in the
wake. ready with a wicked paw.
Invariably they shared the top
OF one box for the scene OF their
morning ablutlons and while Jim
earnestly rubbed with his right.
John scrubbed just as earnestly with
his left John was left-handed.
Because they were given plenty OF
water and just enough to eat they
became huge fellows and wonder
full hunters.
Whenever there was a change In
the working force Of the wholesale
house, the newcomer was watched
with interest to see whether John
or Jim would win his approval. 1t
was a serious thing to the force. But

The Delta independent., 1921-09-23
(By E. S. CoRBIN)

Many factories, costing some two
million dollars, have just been COM
pleted in Delta the past year, that this
vast empire of productiveness-kno
Ms Western Colorado-may have IA
cilities for handling better several
farm crops from the enormous pro-
duction of the several valleys that
head into and toward Delta, the wild
est part of the Uncompahgre Valley
To the south are irrigated farms for
forty miles, while to the northeast
and east are valleys that extend for
thirty-eight miles. Delta is the delta
and the hub of these several valleys.
Here is located the first great irri-
cation project, selected because OF the
wonderful climate excellent soils and
abundance of water. This project was
selected about 1900 by government
agents after a careful survey of local
conditions and after noting the great
success of the farmers and fruit grow
ers since 1882. Here was the play
ground of the Ute Indians and, be-
cause of the mild winters and lack OF
snow, their main home country. The
government constructed the longest
irrigation tunnel in the world-six
miles long. This was opened in 1911,
ex-President Taft officiating, and the
last canals are but recently completed.
The cost was six million dollars.
There are 250,000 acres of orchards
and cultivated farms. outside of the
government project. The summer
climate ii famous, winters mild. but
. few nights will touch, on an aver
age, zero weather. The best Of do

part of the talleys. while some sec
tions have godd wells and some farms
have cisterns. The government is
now figuring on piping domestic wa
ter throughout the project. In coming
to Delta you will see but little from
the railroad, as the best sections lie
on the table lands, or mesas, or of
the main railroad lines.
Many eastern fruit and produce buy
ers come to Delta every fall, and to-
gether with local produce buyers pur-
chase all shipable farm products. The
Holly Sugar Corporation has just
completed a modern and up-to-date
sugar factory, costing approximately
$1,500,O0, and are now grinding the
5000 acres of sugar beets grown in
the several large valleys tributary to
Delta. This factory will pay the grow
ers approximately $750,000 for sugar
beets grown in 1920. For some four
teen years Delta county has grown

Several schools and institutes are an

Delta feels that she must treble in
size in few years and will start on
campaign in the spring of 1922 to
build many homes to accommodate
the extremely urgent demand. Delta
is real manufacturing city with an
abundance of coal, many thousands of
cattle, sheep and hogs; and it might
be said all farm crops, vegetables,
fruits. berries and grapes grow in
quantity unsurpassed by any section
in America.

Packing Corporation and completed
the past season. This factory, while
not completed early enough for full
campaign, paid $4,000 for labor and
paid to the growers s62 800, and pack
ed 69O,6S4 cans of fruits and vege-
tables alone: packing green beans,
tomatoes, apricots, peaches, pears,
prunes and apple-butter in 1921;
cherries, apple cider and vinegar Will
be added. The season 1920 packed
but 80 per cent of the estimated aver
age annual future pack. The COM
pany expects to plant and contract
some 5000 additional acres of cherry
orchards. AS this company was not
completed in time to handle the bust
ness at the Delta factory in 1920,
$4,000 worth of pears were shipped
to the factory at Canon City, as also
was $4,000 worth of cherries and
some forty cars of apples. This COM
pany will employ Goo people during
the packing season.
Another industry just completed is
the Farmers Milling and Produce
Company, costing 100000. This COM
/ pany uses the Gull potatoes and makes
potato flour for the bakers. The good
housewife and expert baker uses one
fifth cooked potato -four in breads and
cakes, etc. This adds an excellent
texture, moisture and keeping quality
to the pastry Pumpkin flour makes
about the best pie yet discovered by
all who have attempted to explore into
the pie world" This company makes
the best of pumpkin flour from cooked
pumpkins; it is non-perishable and
one pound makes from twelve to four
teen of the best pies over which man
ever lost his table manners.
Lee LeMar's new poultry packing
plant just completed shipped $65,0OO
worth of poultry the past season.
The new alfalfa meal mill grinds
daily to capacity.
Delta is at present building another
and one of the finest high schools,
costing s175,000. And besides these
Delta business men and farmers have
donated a new community hospital to
the city and county.
We must not fail to mention the
excellent federal highway now being
constructed by the federal and state
governments through Delta count,

Tried Sulphur as Fertilizer
With Surprising Results

Responding to the suggestion that
sulphur will increase the grain and
hay yield, when used as a fertilizer,
several ranchers on Garnet Mesa
made test this year with most
gratifying results.
In a recent interview with w. B.
Mccormick we cleaned the following
facts:
The sulphur is found in immense
beds about mile and half south
east of Payne's siding. Owing to its
inconvenient location. progress in
transportation was slow. The men
took a team to the foot of the hill.

carried it to the wagon and returned

what was expected of it and made

unattended. In this way four tons
OF the product, running about As per
cent sulphur, were brought down.
Mr.. Mccormick sowed about 500
pounds to the acre. distributing it to-
gether with the mulch, by means Of
a manure spreader. He states that
he did not use the sulphur on his
entire field, as It was only an expert
ment, and that it is an easy matter
to ascertain by the yield just where
the sulphur was left off. The fer
tilized oats yielded so to 60 bushels
to the acre, and were entirely free
from pests. while the oats raised in
the ordinary way fell short of 25
bushels. He says the two plots were
handled in exactly the same maner
aside from the fertilizer.
