Crawford d-Maher
By MRS. BEULAH BUsBY

Crawford is situated on the Smith
Fork river, about % miles east OF
Delta and about IL miles from the
railroad. the nearest station being
Hotchkiss. 1t is on the Black Mesa
auto road, a cutoff from Sapinero to
Delta, and which affords some beauti-
full scenery of Black Canon and the
country in general, and from which
we hope soon to have the best road
in the country.
Crawford is surrounded by farming
districts-Onion Valley and Maher,
Clear Fork. Missouri Flats. Crawford
and Grand View mesas.
Cattle raising is one of the main
industries of the section, about 5000
head being shipped out to Kansas
City, Denver and other markets this
fall. some 6 900 head remaining in the
community. Il. w. Gates and son,
=. G. Gates. of Maher, are perhaps
the heaviest owners. having about
$500 head after shipping out 800 head

fords. fifty OF which are thoroughbred
bulls. They also own twenty head Of
thoroughbred horses. several of which
are race stock. and $50 registered

varieties Swan Linman of Crawford
Mesa marketed 1000 bushels OF
peaches, and $500 boxes of apples.
Other large producers are Mrs. Jen-
ME Alten, Joe Moss and Louis Ander-
son. but nearly all of the ranchers in
that section have orchards. Olof
Olsen has small pear orchard on
which he raised about 200 boxes this
year.
Fruit grown in this section is OF hne
flavor, good size and exceptionally
free from worms.
Bees are paying proposition and
several are interested in the business.
The honey is second to none. Pota-
toes grown here are of very superior
quality and free from stem rot and
scab. and the yield is very good.
Charles Carville has raised as high
as 45O bushels to the acre on his
ranch in Smith Fork Canon.
Nearly all kinds of hardy vegetables
are grown here. as well as sweet corn,
tomatoes. celery. etc.
Poultry is another source Of income
and nearly every rancher has flock
of chickens and turkeys. w L. Com
stock has flock of about 300 thor
oughbred White Leghorns, which he
says has proved good investment.

The scenery around Crawford is
very picturesque. The Castle Range
in the distance has two rocky points
known as Cathedral and Castle Rock
1t gives a very pretty background to
the southeast. Snow can be seen
nearly every month in the year on
this range Saddle Mountain is east
of town and it is about five miles to
the foot of it. 1t is so named owing
to its resemblance to saddle. Needle
Rock is near Saddle Mountain and is
high. sharp rock visible for many
miles. Cedar and pinon timber grow
in abundance throughout this locality
and are used for fuel and fencing, Coal
banks are within days drive with a
team or a few hours by truck.
The altitude of Crawford is $500
feet and we have delightful climate
with much sunshine.
The population of the town is about

church has an annex consisting of
three rooms. which is one of the finest
things our town boasts of. as it af-
fords a place for all kinds of church
affairs and many school and commun-
ity gatherings. One room used for a
kitchen is equipped for cooking.

No Better Place
For Dairying
Than This

The Crawford-Maher section offers
the best possibilities for dairying
The best summer pasture in the near
by ranges-so close: pure mountain
water-no alkali: plenty of winter
feed is always available from our
ranches. A ready market for the pro-
duct is always at hand-a cash mar
ket. too.
Being situated inland. to some en-
tent, the dairy COW offers the most
profitable business for the rancher.
There are hundreds of acres of good
land which can be developed in this
section for the raising of winter feed
for stock.
During the past few years many
of our people have found the milk
COW source of great profit. bringing
in cash every week from the milk or
cream check.
Those desiring to engage In this
business will do well to investigate
this section of Colorado.
Information in regard to dairying In
this section OF Delta county will be
gladly furnished by either of the two
cream stations or any business man
in Crawford.
