the Rocket.
Stephenson took Entwistle out the fol-
lowing Sunday to let him try his hand at
the throttle. They ran the engine down
to the bog, distance OK Is miles, and
return. Stephenson was more than
pleased. The next day was the day for
the competition. Entwistle, speaking OF
the trip, said to Des Moines CORE
spondent of the New York Herald:
Il don't remember much about the
weather. ALI the days In England are
pretty much the same. and along the sea
coast there is always more or less OF a
fog. The 81 miles we're what might be
called level country. Where the bog had
been filled in, of course, was level. 1t
was slightly downhill between Man
chester and Liverpool. The country was
not rough.
81 don't remember the time we made
on the trip, but 1t didn't mean much, as
the trip was marred by a fatal accident
We were about half way down when a
stop was made. The duke OF wellington
was talking to Mr. Huskisson, and they
were standing on the second track. Sud-
denly construction engine came around
the corner and bore down on them. The
duke of Wellington jumped and escaped
safely, but Mr.. Huskisson was struck
down and the wheels passed over his legs
above the knees. He was taken to Liv-
erpool, where he lived about ten hours.
Strange as it may seem, this accident
did not prejudice the people against the
railroad. They understood that 1t was
an accident, and did not blame the road.

Outlook for Canned Goods.

Speaking of the canned goods out
look, the Gamer and Dried Fruit
Packer says: Nearly all of the fruit
canneries north of Sacramento will be
shut down. Some of the canneries
will operate, but it will be a puny
event, as there is little or no fruit
in that country to operate on. What
few peaches there are will be shipped
south to the various canneries which
control the crop. The Sacramento can
neries will run light. The southern
California canneries are obtaining a
little more fruit in their section than
in previous seasons, but not much OF
consequence. The principal packing
will be in the San Joaquin valley.
Alameda, San Francisco and Santa
Clara counties. Two or three new
canneries have entered the business
the coming season, but the number of
canneries actually open and operating
will be less than last season, and il
does not seem possible that the pack
can exceed 80 per cent of last seasons
output, while the extremely short pack
of clings will undoubtedly cut this
maximum"
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-07-15

Every year we notice in various To-
calities the meager growth made by
strawberry vines. The growth the
vines make in the late summer and fall
determines largely the size of the crop
to be grown the following year. Each
plant should have a deep roofing sys-
tenn, the mass Of foliage should be
large and the substance of the leaves
firm. The roots develop the tops
and the tops develop the roots. This
work must all be done in the period
after the crop has been gathered and
before cool weather prevents develop
ment of the plants. The shortage of
water last summer was the principal
cause of a small crop in most places
this season. We have noticed that the
plants that are we'll irrigated through
out the season have thick mat OF
leaves, glossy and firm, while others
struggle for existence. In this way
one can always determine how the
crop will come out the following year
Under modern conditions of strawber-
ry growing the supply OF moisture
must be greater than nature usually
provides in the arid region. We can
not satisfy ourselves with the size OF
the crop that nature gives us and de-
mand more To get this new plants
must be made after the harvest OF the
berries, hence the necessity of giving
the vines the best growing conditions
by means of irrigation after the hrst
growth has been moved off and burn
ed, which is done principally to des-
troy insects besides giving the plants
midsummer rest.

PuyaIIup Valley Berry News.
(E,roy,, tho Tribune \


w. H. Paulhamus, president of the
berry association, expresses himself as
entirely satisfied with the berry bust
ness so far this year and says the out
look is very favorable.
Complaint comes from the berry office
that the berries are not picked care
fully enough. Better take little ex-
ira pains and send in your fruit in the
best possible shape. This should be a
matter of local pride, not only with the
growers, but with each individual
picker. Help keep up the reputation of
the Valley berries.
Three carloads of berries were sent
out Thursday, one from Sumner and
two from here. The first one sent out
from here contained 1919 crates of
strawberries and SIG Of raspberries and
was billed to Grand Forks, North Da-
kota. The second contained Is bas-
kets of cherries, Sc crates Of currants
and 585 of raspberries and was sent
to the Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Grow
ers' association at st. Paul, MINI.
The Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Grow
ers' association are putting all the ber-
ries that can possibly be spared from
local points into the markets of Min
nesota and Dakota. Their object in
this is to establish their trade before

Grade Your Fruit With Care.

Many people can successfully grow
fruit but cannot successfully market
it, This is because they do not go
about it in the right way;-do not
grade their fruit and put 1t up in pack
ages so that it will appeal to the pur-
chasing public and sustain to it's low
est layer the favorable impression Gre
ated by the top one. 1t should be the
aim of every honest fruit grower to so
conduct his business that when he
once secures a customer he will al
ways retain him on his list of patrons.
The oft-quoted remark of the immortal
Lincoln that "you cannot fool all the
people all the time" is as applicable
to fruit growing as to everything else,
and the grower who makes it point
to pack his fruit honestly and gives
the buyer full value for his money VIII
scarcely ever fail to receive a good
profit on his business. A contrary

undertaken by the government, and
under the scheme it is estimated that
about 100000 acres of arid land will
be reclaimed. The project provides
for the construction of canal 100
miles in length, tapping St. Mary's
lake and Milk river in the northern
part of Montana and the filling of a
reservoir from which irrigating water
will be drawn. 1t is figured by en-
gineers that it will require two years
