resents an earnest effort to approx
mate the facts. So far as known II
IL the only effort to present by state
detail the facts OF the crop.
| The opinion has prevailed general
ly this year that the apple crop is a
practical failure. founded upon the late
frosts and cold. rainy weather last
spring. The actual fact Is that while
there is a shortage in the districts OF
commercial orcharding as compared
with last year, the total production,
ignoring quality and commercial avail
ability, is very little smaller than a
year ago.
The distribution OF the crop, how
ever, Is radically different. conditions
approaching a failure marking the sit
uation In the leading commercial dis
tricts of the west, except In Michigan,
while the extreme southern and ex-
IRENE northern part of the apple ter
ritory have fair crop.
Here the crop. such as 1t is, Is not
commercially available. representing
home and local use. so that from the
market standpoint the western crop
is much shorter than the figures by
states of total production would indi-
cate.
In the old established orchard dis
tricts of the east the situation Is again
different. The total crop in each
state north and east of Pennsylvania
is smaller than last year, but the gen.
eral quality OF the crop is SO much
better than last season that the
amount of fruit available for barrel
ing as No. 1 stock is undoubtedly
larger than last season.
Last year the early season in this
section as marked by too much mois-
ture and apple scab pervaded Or
chards to an extent never before
equaled. This year there was long
spring drought. and orchards were re-
markedly free from scab.

The situation In Ontario is very sim
liar to that In New York smaller

in this province has rarely been bet

er than for some years. Last year
the other great Canadian district, No

have, yield and quality both consld-
cred. fully three times as much fruit
for the export trade.

APPLE CROP OF 1908
is NOT A FAILURE.

(By B. w. Snow, Statistician Interna'
tional Apple Shippers ASSN
In the whole field OF crop reporting
there is no crop of which 1t is more
difficult to make definite estimate
than the apple crop. In other crops
given reasonably accurate idea OF
the acreage, and 1t is not difficult to
determine with reasonable accuracy
the rate Of yield. With apples 1t is
different. The acreage Of orchards is
minor factor In the problem, because
there is never year when all orch
ards are in bearing. Because OF the
inherent difficulties in the work, the
United States department of agricul-
ture goes no further than to present
what 1t calls figures of average con-
dition," phrase meaning nothing.
The writer devotes much time and
effort to an attempt to make a definite
survey of the crop situation, and the
estimate presented below at least rep

ALFALFA IS VALUABLE.

A statue should be raised to honor
the man who introduced alfalfa to the
western farmers. 1t is becoming one
of the most valuable crops that he pro-
ruces. not only because of its high
price but for the reason that 1t Is
almost sure crop under all conditions
A few years ago people from the re-
gions east of Colorado would examine
piece of alfalfa as If it were a curio-
sity, and 1t was to them. Riding along
the Santa Fe road now one sees vast
fields of the hay extending clear down
as far east as Emporia, and perhaps
further east. 1t is usually growing on
land that was not considered good for
much a few years ago.
The value of crop of alfalfa is not
alone In the leaf and stalk. but also in
the seed. Farmers who raise the al
falfa seed find 1t is quite as profitable
as raising hay The second crop of
the summer is generally used for seed.
The seed brings 81 to IS bushel. and
If a farmer can get four of five bushels
OFF an acre, along with the first crop
of hay, II beats raising wheat at 20
bushels an acre and 60 cents bushel,
new use has been found for alfalfa
seed that 1t appears will keep the price
up for some time even If its cultivation
should become more extensive. The
agent of German factory has visited
Kansas City and bought up all the
seed that could be found, paying $3.50
bushel. The Germans use 1t for col
oring and dying purposes Formerly
clover seed was used for this purpose.
but alfalfa seed has been found to be
superior.

RESISTED ARREST.
Frank Puett Of Montezuma County
Slightly Wounded.


Saturday last Frank Puett, Of Mon
tezuma county. was slightly wounded
by Deputy Sheriff AL Cole.
EARLY that morning. J. A. Houser
appeared at the sheriff's Office with a
warrant issued in tho southern part
OF the state, and asked for an officer
to serve 1t. Deputy Sheriff Cole was
assigned to the duty. and as the man
wanted had made talks that he could
not be taken. Houser was also depu-
tized. The two officers took the Axlal
road and when about fifteen miles out
sighted the outfit wanted.
Officer Cole rode up to the vehicle,
which was occupied by man, woman
and two small children, as had been
represented to him. The officer said
TO the driver of the rig. Are you
Frank Puett?" and received the an
swer, yes" Cole then said, You are
the man | want"
Quick as a fash Puett was out OF
the rig and reaching under the seat
as II searching for a weapon. The Of
ficer tried to stop him, and failing,
shot and made slight flesh wound
above the groin. Puett partially fell
but lodged to the rear OF the buggy
from which point he tried to get his
gun. He was then made to put his
hands up and keep them up. Puett
finally said, Don't shoot again; ! am
going to give it up" Cole then order
ed Houser to keep the man covered
while he read the warrant, as they
wanted to get on either side of him
and look over the officers shoulder
while the instrument was being read.
Then 1t was that Houser was abus-
ed first by Puett, then his own wife
the woman of the party. The war
rant read and Puett secured. the Off
Ger found a gun under the seat where
Puett was hunting for II. Puett was
then brought back to town and jailed.
The party pursued was composed
OF Frank Puett and his six-year-old
son; Mrs. ]. A. Houser and her young
son, and John Granath, Mrs. Houser's
brother.

He Immediately left for home to put
the child in the care of his mother.
The next chapter in the domestic
tragedy Will likely be enacted in the
home town and county of the princi
pals. Houser asked, for the woman's
sake, that the reporter not tell the
story here. Puett had no statement
to make for publication.
