The 1929 crop approxi- mUe4 800 tons. Last year's cherries 6 cents, a pound while those gold year have brought cents. GUolfal canneries report that the No. 10 fcans, which brought 510.50 per dozen bast year, are selling for this sea- feon. This price has dropped as low tl The No.

2 cans have dropped. 1 Si 'price from $2.20 per dozen to 51.90. A general depression all over the- country, it is believed, Is Responsible foif this drop in market The fact that New York, which produces the third highest tonnage of any growing state, has the, largest tciip In 5 years may account for an 'overproduction to assist In lowering price. That cherries have previously sold for higher prices than most canned fruits is another factor receiving attention. The picking of the two Montmor- eriey crops of cherries In this section ha's been practically completed.

Work on" the MorellO crop has just begun. Several car loads of canned cherries have been trucked out of Fort Collins already this season. Local cherries ate freighted as far as Missouri, but seldom go beyond on account of extensive production in Michigan. Oklahoma and Texas are also supplied with Fort cherries. Jn three or four years the output otf cherries in the vicinity of this city will be do'ubled according to estimates of local growers.

Practically every planter has added considerably Itolhis acreage this year and last. D. M-fCarley, well known grower north of Fdrt Collins, has recently set out an additional 20 acres to his already extensive tract, and a number of others followed suit. Colorado has at present the fourth largest cherry output of any state in the Union, being bettered only by New York, Wisconsin and Michigan. Jjfamer county produces three- Lfourths of the cherries grown In the (Btate.

The aged veteran was Introduced to' the assembled delegates by Chairman E. T. Snyder. In a clear voice Mr. Snow said he had supported John C.

A representative of the State Industrial commission was in Greeley Thursday to confer with officials. He alleged- that information received by the commission indicates that the "king 1 Mexicans are charging 15 per cent of the wages to be received by those they hire, as commission. The "kings" do no actual field work themselves, but are alleged to be planning to repeat performances' of the lasl two seasons when they lived off their commissions.

The state's objection to this form of procedure is that the "kings" are operating an employment agency without first obtaining a license and putting up a bond. They are subject to criminal prosecution for collecting the commissions.

Britain had made a good start in India, toward solution of its problems, when the war came, and with threatening German and Turkish influences at work, a bureaucracy was of necessity established. End of the war did not bring. disruption of the bureaucracy, however, and tho the British were grateful for what India did in the war, and for that country's loyalty, the bureaucracy did not take it into consfderatiqn. Gandhi Effort Impractical Gandhi's effort among the Indians Dr. Gaiguel regards as impractical, because that leader, his desira to erase all modern progress and allow his people to begin all over and start upward again, "is too primitive in Ms thoughts."
