about ten weeks through the fall sea
son as well as hundreds from adjoin-
ing states who flock here yearly to
work through the fruit season. Sew
eral mammoth fruit packing houses
have been built here and are still in
adequate to handle the hundreds of
thousands of boxes produced by our
growers. A fruit failure is almost
wholly unknown here being only one
the past twenty years.
Our next important crop is alfalfa
hay. Alfalfa is considered the most
valuable and productive of all hay pro-
ducing plants and grasses. 1t is the
back bone of the stock business as
much as the farmer is the back bone
of the country. Horses, cows, sheep
and hogs all thrive on alfalfa both in
the growing stage and cured hay,
while the land producing an average
of six tons per acre (three cuttings)
represents a big revenue, and at the
same time returns more to the soil
than is taken away. This is the case
in this part of the country at least.
All the time the land is growing alfal-
ia the soil is being enriched and sugar
beets. potatoes. in fact anything plant
ed following alfalfa results in very
heavy productions with proper culti-
vation and irrigation. Potato grow
ing has come to be quite an important
factor in our section; the yield and
quality exceeded by no other county.
Cattle raising has been one of our
dependable resources for the past
forty years; running them on the
ranges about seven or eight months
and feeding on the ranches four or
five months, owing to weather condi-
tions early or late in the spring.
Hotchkiss is one of the big cattle ship
ping points for the Western Slope. The
raising of stock hogs for the eastern
and western markets has reached no
small proportions and has proved the
easiest money made by our farmers.
The pigs are run on alfalfa pasture
until they grow to about eighty or
ninety pounds. some practice feeding
light ration of grain once day
which is a very good plan helping to
balance the ration. Others desiring to
rush their growth plant bald barley for
early feed. Squash. early corn and

Dairy farming has made wonderful
enabling many farmers who have
made a side line of this business to
pay off mortgages and other obliga-
tions from the sale of butter fat to
our big Cooperative Creamery and
whole milk to the cheese factory at
Lazear only short distance away.
Sheep raising is still another big
industry we can boast of; the sale of
wool and lambs running into thous
ands of dollars annually. On account
of our mild winters much open graz
ing is possible a portion of the winter
season. Sheep like cattle are shipped
directly off the high ranges in mar
ketable condition owing to nutritious
and fattening qualities of our wild
grasses.
Hotchkiss and vicinity offer many
golden opportunities for investments.
We need many more dwelling houses
to accommodate our increasing popu-
lation and we feel confident a great
reaction will take place in the near
future for the better. Many of our
larger farms should be cut up into ten.
twenty, thirty and forty acre tracts.
thereby creating more intensive culti-
vation and more diversified farming.
Many of our retired farmers who have
realized competence whereby they
can live at ease in the future offer
their land at prices considerably less
than the real value. Our climate is
uneXcelled. This special feature alone
being sufficient inducement for
many to make this locality their per-
manent home: we have no cyclones.
no floods. no droughts. We have mild
winters with cool summer nights; in
fact our climate is ideal. With our
wonderful irrigation system failure of
crops is unknown. Our observation
for the past twenty years is that 75
per cent of the people who have left
here to better their condition have re-
turned sooner or later. This alone
proves conclusively our many advant-
ages. So extensive and diversified
are our resources we have been in
clined to boast that we were so nearly
self-sustaining that we could live with
out the rest of the world if necessary
Our natural resources are so great

Our business houses are represented
by class of merchants who are en-
terprising, energetic and up to date in
their methods. supplying the commun-
ity with every line of merchandise
and commodity necessary.
We are surrounded by thousands of
acres of fertile land which will pro-
duce bountiful crops of practically
anything planted or grown in the
United States excepting oranges, lem
ons, cotton and few other things
which require more tropical climate
Not only apples, pears. peaches,
plums and apricots grow here to per-
fection but the smaller fruits such as
strawberries, raspberries, currants,
cherries, blackberries, etc, reach
perfection that is pleasing to the eye
and appetizing to the palate. Grapes
OF every known variety have been
grown here successfully. The culture
of small fruits is well known to be ore
of the most profitable occupations, as
much as $1,000 per acre having been
realized and $500 to $500 being very
common. So far the home demand
has consumed practically all berries
produced here-why not ship hun
dred thousand dollars worth annually.
Another industry of great Importance
is truck gardening. Vegetables of
every description can be produced
here. having that sweetness and crisp
ness only known in the Rocky Noun
tain grown vegetables. We have
scores of mountain towns for our mar
kets.
While a good many of our farmers
are making a side line of poultry we

hundred fold in chickens turkeys and
eggs as there is always a ready mar
ket for all produced here. Our clim-
attic conditions are especially adapted
for poultry raising on account OF being
dry and the fact that no poultry dis
ease of any consequence exists here.
Every farmer in this vicinity has the
raw material on his place necessary
to construct good serviceable concrete
poultry houses. with the addition of
some cement and little lumber. In
stances are known here where chick
en- houses were built into side hill
covered with dirt and the front finish
ed with cedar logs with a door made
of poles. there being no outlay of
money whatever. the dugout represent
ing labor alone.
Another industry we have here,
which has proven to be decidedly re-
munerative is bee keeping. Those
who have specialized in the business
have been well rewarded financially
to the extent of independence while
those making 1t side line have been

There is probably 100 carloads of
miscellaneous farm produce still in
this vicinity to be shipped later. While
the value of this immense bulk of
necessities is not as it should be to
our farmers, at the same time and at
prices lower than any previous years,
it represents hundreds of thousands
of dollars distributed in our commun-
ity. Our average resident does not

falfa for term Of years. Our farmers
should grow more sugar beets if only
on a small scale, product sold before
1t is produced.
Our resources are SO numerous that
like nature itself there seems to be no
beginning or ending. Fruit growing
in one of our principal industries, the
quality produced being equal to the
best and surpassed by no other fruit
section in America. Apples of all
commercial varieties known are grown
here; the Elberta peach is about
the only variety of peaches grown
here to any extent on account of its
superior shipping qualities over all
other kinds and its beautiful color
size and sweetness. The Delicious
apple is considered the favorite eating
apple but on account of the limited
time it has been before the public the
number Of bearing trees are not great
but this special variety is growing in
favor and is considered very appro-
priately named. On account of our
soil on the mesas or tablelands being

HoTcHkIss HOME OF DELTA
COUNTY ANNUAL FAIR

The Delta County fair grounds are
located at Hotchkiss, and Hotchkiss
people are justly proud of the honor.
Here one finds a large park we'll
sodded and dotted thickly with shrub
berry and shade trees. Nearby is a
splendid race track with a grand.
stand having a seating capacity of
several thousand. The grounds have
commodious sheds for accommodating
livestock. In the park is city water
and a fountain for the convenience of
the public as well as an extensive
amount of play ground equipment.
These grounds form an ideal spot for
the accommodation of tourists, free OF
charge.
Further information regarding the
fair and its beautiful park will be
gladly furnished by writing any of the
business firms of Hotchkiss, whose

that it has been profitable for us to
develop some of them beyond our own
needs for the purpose of supplying
counties and states not so fortunately
situated. We consume only small
proportion of what we produce and
that is only a small percentage of
what can be produced. We all keenly
feel the effects of this strenuous per-
iod of low values of stock and farm
products, but on the other hand we
should congratulate ourselves on be-
ing residents of Delta County; the
land of plenty; the banner county of
the state and the garden spot of
Colorado.
For the benefit of the more senti-
mental, the lovers of nature, the dis
ciples of Isaac Walton and the nim-
rods of the forest, will say: a few
hours drive will take one to the re-
cesses of deep canons with perpen-
dicular walls where flows the crystal
waters of melting snow banks rushing
on and on over mighty boulders,
through deep cut gorges, forming
many beautiful waterfalls and almost
fathomless basins of crystalized wa
ter where lurk the willy mountain
trout in all their native splendor. The
deep colored wild flowers of many
hues, presided over by our state
flower of unexcelled beauty, the lovely
Rocky Mountain Columbine. At no
great distance the deer and elk, the
black and grizzly bear and mountain
sheep all may be found in their native
foothills; also the cottontail and jack
rabbit, the mountain quail, sage hen
and grouse, and others in other To-
calities, the beaver, fox, martin, skunk
and badger
Those seeking health and recreation
will find Delta County, Colorado, the
ideal spot to regain ones health, hav-
ing access to an altitude of five thou
sand to eleven thousand feet above
sea level. with pure, embracing air
and invigorating atmosphere, with
most excellent water and agreeable
surroundings. The pleasure seekers
have an endless variety of beautiful
mountain scenery. The most gorgeous
sunsets to gaze upon, superior to any
other locality in the Rocky Noun
tains; all colors of the rainbow COM
bined with rich etchings of golden
maroon and silvery lined clouds are
portrayed to the spellbound admirer.
Little do we appreciate and compre-
hend these many and beautiful fea-
lures of Natures handiwork and only
realize the great natural advantages
we are endowed with and surrounding

Game Will Winter Low
This Season, Says Ranger

A big moose walked through the
wire fence around the horse pasture
at the Wapiti ranger station a few
nights ago. taking several yards of it
with him. The deer and elk have
been driven down by the snow in con-
siderable numbers, and make nightly
visits.
J. N. Langworthy, field man at
tached to the local forestry service,
expresses the opinion that the game
will be driven lower than usual this
year owing to the extraordinary
amount of snow in the mountains and
which will not go off this season.
Table mountain, where a band of
elk always winter, is covered with two
feet of snow already. The elk are
in good condition, however, and can
stand some bad weather without suf-
fering. d.
There are a good many coyotes but
they have not commenced to bother
the game and many trappers are pre-
pairing to reduce the number.

O. B. Mann Buys Tractor
and Separator for Big
Hay Ranch on Greybull

o. Il. Mann, prominent rancher of
Meeteetse, was in Cody on Monday
to assist in starting his new tractor
and separator on the road to his
ranch.
The new outfit consists of a 1920
II. P. Observation-Disclosures tractor
and a No. A 24x32 Geiser separator
with all the modern improvements,
including blower stacker, self feed
er and band cutter, with screens for
handling small grains, alfalfa and
timothy seed.
Mr.. Mann plans to pillow up about
$50 acres of his ground in the spring
and raise a big crop of grain, and gra-
dually re-seed his entire acreage. He
will thresh out a greater part of his
alfalfa for the seed.
Ronald Refs, of Billings, Montana,
the expert in charge of the new equip
ment, will deliver the outfit to the
ranch as soon as road conditions will
permit. The new machinery will meak

Possible Relative Requests Old

lneZ, KENTUCKY.
The Cody Enterprise.
Gentlemen:
In a recent copy of your paper,
which came into my hand and l had
the chance to peruse, an article rel
alive to the death of Butch" Cassidy,
n one time bandit who lived in Wyo-
ming. claimed my attention by the
possible family connection that might
have existed between the bandit and
our family in Kentucky. / am writing
you for whatever information that
YOU can give me relative to this mar
and his past history up to the time
of his death-that is his doings in the
state of Wyoming previous to his go
ing to the Argentine country of South
America. 1t seems that Butch" Cas-
sadly, as named in the article, was a
desperate character of the early days
of Wyoming and lived at Dubois in
the Ten Sleep country, or Wind River
country, Wyoming, and no doubt will
be remembered by some of the older
citizens of that town or community
if we could get in touch with him.
Please advise me how and in what
way | might be able to get in touch
with some one of his friends or fol-
lowers in that community during the
time of his activities in that place.
| had two %uncles, named Amos and
Lincoln Cassidy, that left Kentucky
about 80 or 40 years ago and the last
heard of them was that they were
living in Wyoming or Montana, and
for some reason all communication
with them ceased abruptly and their
whereabouts and ultimate fate has
always remained a mystery, although
we have tried for several years to To-
cate them through advertising and
other methods.
If you can give us some light on
the history of this man, his true name
place of birth, physical makeup, and
whether he was married or left any
descendants in that section of the
country, l certainly would appreciate
your doing so.
Yours truly,
c. P. Cassidy.
