MANY TOURISTS HERE;
APPRECIATE GROUNDS

Caretaker Jones at the tourist park
is kept busy these days greeting tour
lists. and keeping the buildings and
grounds neat, clean and in order. AS
the season advances the number of
tourists increases-in fact the grounds
are not large enough to accommodate
all our guests, and an additional plot
of ground soon added on the north.
Many of the campers show their ap-
probation of the conveniences afford
ed by leaving the building in as good
condition as they found it; but there
are others who give the care-taker
plenty of employment. From the
opening of the tourist season up to the
beginning of the last week In August,
over four hundred cars had been
parked in the grounds, the receipts
for these amounting to s103.22 The
heaviest month was August with a
registration of one hundred forty-two
cars during the first three weeks;
while the month of May registered
the smallest number-only seventy
six The buildings and grounds have
been given painstaking care through
out the season by Mr. Jones who re-
ports the trees all growing save one.

BEANS FOR CANNING
FACTORY PROFITABLE

{. o. Pember, who lives on Cedar
Mesa, east of Cedaredge, Saturday
finished his third picking of beans
for the canning factory, and establish
ed record with 1879 pounds of beans
from one acre of land.
Mr.. Pember has three acres of
beans this year and has averaged
5lOO pounds per acre each picking
thus far. While three pickings have
been made, there will be several 9TH
ers as the vines will have beans un-
til about the middle of September.
The canning factory pays s45 a ton
Tor the beans and Mr.. Pember ex-
poets to net over 500 an acre for all
the land he had in beans.
The canning factory is a big
asset to this community" says
Mr.. Pember, allowing a diversi-
tication of crops which would not
De possible if the produce had to
De shipped to markets where the
price is uncertain and the returns
necessarily smaller than where
lht vegetables are used right
here. The raising of beans and
other things the factory wants
brings in money earlier than the
staple crops and helps to carry
the farmer through his other har-
vests without borrowing money.
The factory is a big help"
Mr. Pember reports water short
though the crops have not suffered
from the shortage yet and are in good
shape around Cedaredge.
