Fruit Raisers in Colorado Reap Large Returns $1000 AND OVER PER ACRE Denver, Colo., Oct. 28.—The Colorado fruit growers have the Standard Oil company beaten for profits, according to some statistics just gathered by James B. Young, secretary of the Colo- rado State Commercial association. This state, accoraing to Young, is tha only one in the Union which has pro- duced a fair fruit crop this year, and, although the amount is not so large as in previous years, because of frosts last spring, he says the farmers have re- ceived such prices for their fruit that | the total aggregates as much as was received from the crop last year. In the Grand valley, around Grand Junction alone, 470 cars of fruit had been shipped up to last Saturday, in- cluding apples, pears and peaches, There was reported ready for ship- ment today (Monday) 46 cars of apples and pears, and the entire list of ship- ments has brought an average of $800 i per acre, this price covering all grades | of fruit. Of the higher classes, 14 cars | of Bueno d’'Anjou pears brought the farmers who shipped them $23,874 net, or $1705 per car. As individual instances of profits, one man netted an average of $840 an acre on his pears, while a neighbor, with trees a year older, netted over $1000 per acre. These were on common | grades. A. C. Newton, residing near | Grand Junction, netted $2000 an acre | on his high-grade pears. On this basis, | figuring the value of his land by com- | puting the price on an 8 per cent. tel come, his land was worth to him this year $23000 an acre, although he bought it for $1000. Rev. James A. Becker, a minister in a small town in the Grand valley, net- ted $1000 per acre on Jonathan apples, | having received $1900 per acre for his crop on land which coset him less than $1000 per acre, Although it is now late | in October, the second crop of straw- berries picked this year is now on the market; so that it seems as though | Colorado land is not satisfied with fur. | nishing only a single crop to enrich the | husbandman, but must put forth an- | other effort in their behalf. Sugar beet raising also has proved profitable to Colorado farmers. The statistics just gathered show a total production this year of 2,100,000 tons, for which the farmers received a gross amount of $10,500,000, or $5 per ton. The cost of turning these beets into sugar is about one-half that sum, or, $5,250,000, making the sugar beet crop a total value to the state this year of $16,750,000. From the Arkansas valley of Colo- rado have been shipped dally during the season 1,260.000 canteloupes, the famous Rocky Ford district alone hav- ing shinped 168 carloads at 312 crates to the car. bringing 2 net return to the farmers of about $40,000, An interesting farming locality in Colorado is in Macy county, near Grand Junction, the county seat. There on 160 acres of land are now existing 16 families, with a total of 80 persons, These produced from their land two years ago an aggregate value in peaches of $48,000, taken from trees ranging from three to seven vears of age. This year their product will range around $60,000. TIED TO CHAIR BY HER HAIR Robber Then Slashed Woman Razor and Ransacked Room.
