Show o THE FRUIT PROSPECTS. John F. Moore, manager of the Grand Junction Fruit Grow 1' Association, As-sociation, recently issued a letter to his growiers, concerning the prospective prospec-tive markets for western fruit. There arc parts of this letter which will be of interest to our Utah Growers. Mr. Mr is perhaps one of the best posted fruit men in the West, and certainly has made a. record in getting results for the growers in Western Colorado. Part of the letter follows: f , "Hang ' t returned from anx "'" - - -- tcifslvc trip through the east made fcj jflic purpose oT investigating crnp and l market conditions and interviewing H representatives, 1 am in position to H give our growers some interesting in- H formation. . r- H The prospect for a crop' $r fruit this year in every fruit producing so H tion is excellent, and in my opinion H there will be more fruit marketed this H year than has been for a number of M years past. M On account of these conditions wc arc certain that prices for our fruit M pMMaamHnvMBHHmMmaBMHHHHi arc going to be only fair, there is no M use in our growers anticipating any such prices as were realized last year fl for fruit for they will be tow in com- M parison. M Now, as the markets will all be M flooded with common fruit and know- fl ing that large, fancy stock only will M be in demand at reasonable prices, 1 M want you to realize the great ncccs- M sity for thinning, and it is time now fl (hat the thinning was being done. fl Thin yoyr fruit well, grow big fruit, fl grade and pack it as wc dictate, and M we can assure you that returns wih M be satisfactory."
