Apple Crop Of the United States,
Chicago Record. Herald.

Few people have any conception OF
the enormous volume and value of the
apple crop of the United States. The
exports of apples last year from the
United States were 2,543,7 ,759 barrels.
All of them went To Great Britain ex.
eept l46,64l barrels to Germany and
"a, ,692 to other countries.
The census of 1900 showed total OF
2l0 100000 trees in what are known as
commercial Orchards-that is, orchards
maintained to sell fruit to the regular
trade. This does not include the mil.
lions of trees in the back yards of the
towns and villages throughout the
country. The increase during the last
ten years, since the census Of 1890, was
"a, ,0O0, 900 trees-mOre than 40 per cent
and the yield of 1900 from the com.
mercial orchards alone was more than
la, 1000, 600 bushels.
BY districts, the north Atlantic states
have p, 500, ,O00 trees, the south Atlantic

Hood River, Or, July 27, 1908 --Edi-
tor Glacier: A few weeks ago an arti-
Gle appeared in your paper over the sig
nature OF the board OF directors of the
Hood River Irrigating company, which
stated in effect that | had resigned the
position Of manager Of the aboye-named
company, owing to press OF personal
business. The article in question was
entirely without my authority or of the
board Of directors. 1t was not my in
tention to pay any attention to the
matter, and | would not do SO at this
late day, only that great many people
throughout the valley have been mis-
led, and have repeatedly asked me to
deny the statement through the press,
as they say the opinion has gone out
that had deserted the canal PROPOSE
ton. / came to the valley to build a
canal and will not leave until have the
best irrigation system in operation on
the coast in this valley, / shall be on
hand next Saturday at your citizens
mass meeting to explain to the people
what We are trying to do, and how we
are getting along l shall also take this
opportunity of assuring the people OF
the valley that we will have water here
according to the terms of our contract.

A fruit wrapping machine has been
perfected and will be used in the large
California orchards and packing houses
this season. 1t is said that a saving of
two to four cents box will be effected
by the use Of this machine when in
stalled. 1t will wrap any sized fruit,
from the smallest sized plums to the
largest grape fruits, and has capacity
for 10000 to 40,0o0 a day. 1t is so con-
structed rs to handle eggs without
breaking them, and will therefore do
the work OF wrapping fruit without
bruising it. Papers are cut in squares
as fed from continuous roll.-Pacifie

Angora Moats a Success.

George Rordan, who has an excel
lent ranch in the foot hills just above
what was formerly the Connell place,
finds that Angora goats are a great sue.
cess. Besides getting 35 cents pound
f. o. b., for the mohair, the goats are
most useful in clearing land. Mr.. Rordan
says il he had placed goats on his place
IL years ago, he would be IS, 900 or $40, ,O0O
better off today. He now has flock OF
80 goats, having started three years ago
with II. He has a registered buck
among his flock and intends to raise onlv
thoroughbred Angoras.
The goats require no feeding at all,
except little hay or oats straw when
the snow covers the ground. The ami
mails are death to brush and scrub oak.
and will peel the bark from tree the
size of stove pipe. In few years
after the goats destroy the growing
brush, the roots will have rotted out and
the land is then easily prepared for the
pillow. Mr. Rordan is satisfied that
Angora goats are paying business.

"too easy" and preferred trying some
thing more worthy of their prowess.
Well, there is such thing as reputa-

Extends Thanks to Hood River Peoule

Another echo from the recent visit Of
German agriculturists to Hood River
has been sounded, this time from the
department Of agriculture at Washing
ton. To the many who helped enter.
tain the visitors che following letter will
be of interest:
Department Of Agriculture, Office Of
the Secretary, Washington, D. c., July
IL, 1903.-Mr. E. L. Smith, President
Oregon State Board of Horticulture.
Hood River, 0r.-Dear Sir: The de.
partment Of agriculture expresses to YOU
and the citizens of Hood River and the
Hood River valley its hearty thanks for
demonstrating to the party of German
agriculturists the methods of strawberry
culture and orcharding employed, and
for calling their attention to the agriCul-
tural possibilities Of your section. Very
respectfully yours, J. II. BRIGHAM,
Assistant Secretary.

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for persist
ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Joe Golobick of
Colusa, Calf, writes: "For Is years |
endured insufferable pain from rheuma-
tism, and nothing relieved me though l
tried everything known. / came across
Elec ric bitters and it is the greatest
med cine on earth for that trouble. A
few bottles of it completely relieved and
cured me-" Just as good for liver and
kidney troubles and general debility.
Only SOC. Satisfaction guaranteed by
Chas. N. Clarke, druggist.

Umpire, Big Head Quarles.

General Playlng-rOIten.
The sensational play OF the game was
made by Fouts in catching long fly
and then plowing up an acre of ground
with the handle on his face. The feat
ure of the game was the interest taken
in the game by some of the local rooters
with the long speaking tubes. Now
they are using a specially prepared
cough remedy. No doubt if these teams
cross bats again, there will be general
change in the line up,a las some of the play
ers on both sides either got swellhead
or sorehead, hence the change. Another
feature of the game was the terrific bat
ting of Swellhead Markham.
The game was a financial success
init" There is one beauty about base
ball at Hood River, every game played
is success for the left side Of the ledg-
er. Well, be that as it may, keep the
the ball rolling, for we are bound to win
out. So good rooters and fans, come
again when we have another game, but
bring your purses.

The PLAYERS were
SMellhends nefeat the S0reheads.

A crowd OF $50 base ball enthusiasts
were entertained Sunday afternoon by a
game between the "Soreheads" and the
"Swellheads." 1t was an entertaining
affair, and furnished large amount of
excitement and amusement. The play
ers furnished the fun, but the specta-
tors could be made to give barely enough
nickels and dimes to pay ior the new balls.
Following is the game as seen by the
snortinO ranOrter.

1t will be noticed from the above
tables that there is a great difference in
the bearing capacity Of the apple trees
of the country. Missouri has nearly
twice as many trees as Michigan, and
yet Michigan raises nearly so per cent
more apples than Missouri. This is ex-
planned, like many other things, by the
character of the trees and the amount
of cultivation given them. New York
undoubtedly has the best apple trees in
the country, and the returns of her
apple harvest show It,
