Women at Their Best.

Harry Furniss, an English expert on
the eternal feminine, says that wom-
en- look their best indoors In the even
ing and In evening dress. He says a
woman is probably seen at her best
when playing the harp; that billiards
show women off to great advantage;
that ice skating shows the graceful
curves in the feminine figure; that Of
outdoor games archery is the one in
which women look their best and
hockey the one In which they look their
worst.

We sigh for climes In distant lands
Where it is always summer,
Where palm trees wave their ample
hands
To welcome every conner.
We think we could forever roam
Where nature strews her booty
And quite forget the charms at home
Nor see the sunsets beauty.
We long for regions far away,
For some fair land enchanted,
Where there is sunshine every day
A paradise tr~ansplanted.
We long to catch the rare perfume
From spice lands overlooking,
While at our feet the wild flowers
bloom
In colors bright and glowing.
Here breezes from the fields caress.
The air is soft and mellow,
And soon the summers purple dress
VIII change to gorgeous yellow.
Lift up your eyes unto the hills
With elm trees bending over
Or down beside the singing rills
Behold the fields of clover.
But, ah, 1t calls-the wanderlust-
To climes of SONG and story;
We go in simple faith and trust
there Is wealth and glory.
We go to make a fortune vast
In lands of milk and honey,
And, 10, before a month is past
We send back home for money!

Careful Packing Is the Secret.

Scarcely an issue of The Ranch
fails to contain something about the
Importance of careful packing OF
fruits for the market. 1t has been
stated time and again how much d1f-
ference in returns well packed con-
signment will make, still the Western
avenue commission houses in Seattle
are flooded daily with poorly packed
fruits-and the shippers, upon re-
ceipt of checks, grumble and say
fruit raising does not pay. Here is
a practical illustration of what good
packing will do for the fruit grower.
N. Forth owns a 15-acre farm just
north of Mount Vernon, in Skag1t
county. and he is a firm believer in the
doctrine that it pays to prepare ones
fruit properly for the market. Mr.
Forth does not sell his apples for less
than a dollar box and he always has
a market. Dealers in Seattle VII
pay all charges of eXpressage and give
Mr.. Forth one dollar per box for ap-
pies.
When asked how this could be-,
when so many claimed they could not
give their apples away, Mr. Forth
said: 81 take great pains in packing
my fruit and have a uniform size
throughout the box. Then l take
pains to put in only good fruit.
cut nv name on all my boxes and
when a dealer gets box of my fruit
he knows what he is getting. Dealers
are willing to pay the top prices to
people who take pride in packing their
fruit right.
81 shipped some apples for some
people one season. They told me that
the boxes were packed properly. l
insisted that they put their names on
their own boxes, SO that in case any
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-09-01

in gother ways this season, the prices
brought for it in the east, probably,
being better than those brought on
Western avenue, Seattle.
Melons have been coming in in
good quantities and are of exception
ally good quality this season. Many
carloads have been received and they
are still coming. The market is hold
ing up well on them, however.
The berry market is over, and the
season has been closed without sim
gle "glut," which is unusual. Prices
have held up well and it is thought
that most of the berry raisers made
plenty of money on their crops.
The prices on pears have been drop
ping during the past few days, but it
is not thought that the market will
go to pieces. Bartletts are still hold
ing firm and are good sellers.
All the California fruits with the
exception of the citrus varieties have
gone from the Seattle market.
Early varieties of apples are coming
in in fair quantities and are in good
demand.
A fine quality of green corn is being
brought in from the country sur
rounding Seattle. Smith & Bloxom
state that they have never seen better
corn and that the growers around the
city seem to have raised good guam
titles They say it is as good corn as
they have ever seen in the east. The
corn from east of the mountains,
which for a while came in in good sup
ply, has stopped coming, as the grow
ers in the surrounding country have so
much of it that those farther away
cannot pay the freight rates and COM
pete with them in prices.

Pears Scarce in Clark County.

The indications are that the pear,
plum and apple crop in Clark county
will be below the average this fall.
The season has been one of general
shortage of fruits for cannery pur-
poses, as reported by the Columbia
Canning company, due largely to the
enormous fresh fruit consumption in
cident to the Lewis and Clark visitors.
A large part of the county's best ber-
ries have been exported to the Port
land market, which has kept the prices
at home considerably above normal.
The canning company has as a conse-
ouence been obliged to curtail their
business. 1t is now buying all the
pears offered and will barely be able
to get enough to fill It's contracts.
The pear crop in that part of the
state this season is better than last,
but still from present indications it is
not a full crop. Since the establish
ment of fruit canning industry in the
county, the farmers have realized
large savings from fruit which former
ly rotted from lack of a market. This
season the Columbia Canning Com
pany is prepared to care for the entire
output of the county. 1t is valuable
industry to the community and de-
serves support.

Makes Money in Pears.

George S. Rankin. of North Yakima,
has a forty-acre farm in Parker BOZ
tom which has been in years gone by
a remarkable producer of profits. This
year it will pat a good-sized roll OF
wealth into Mr.. RaniIin's pocket as
usual. The pear crop has been dis
posed Of and will yield the owner be-
tween $4,000 and $3,O0O-possibly
more than the later sum. The pear
orchard contains five acres. The fruit
was sold two weeks ago for $1.25 per
box, and 25 cents box will pay the
cost of picking, packing and deliver
ing at the station, leaving 81 a box
net, or, as the orchard will yield from
$500 to 5000 boxes, profit of from
$500 to $500 per acre. Mr.. Rankin
also sold his prune crop from the farm
netting $50 per acre for that.

thing was not satisfactory, l would
not get blamed. The Seattle commits

the cost of shipping, because the frul'

BRIGHT Future for Fruit canneries.

The present year has witnessed
marked progress toward the perma-
nent establishment of the fruit and
vegetable canning industry in north
western Washington. In Bellingham,
as we'll as in Anacortes, plants have
been operated during the present sea-
son with an encouraging degree Of
success and a similar establishment is
now talked of in Blaine. to be Operat-
cd on the cooperative plan. All this
promises we'll for the future of the
industry, but it is we'll to remember
that before the business of canning
and preserving the products Of the
gardens and orchards can be placed
on a thoroughly permanent and sue
cessful basis the farmers and fruit
growers must be ready to do their
part.
The canneries are welcomed at the
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-09-01

present time principally for the rea-
son that they offer a market Tor the
"waste fruit" This Is well and good,
but the producers must learn sooner
or later that so long as they look
upon the canneries merely as con-
sumers of fruit and vegetables whlcn
cannot be disposed of in the open
market, the canning industry Will re-
main in a precarious condition. IL
cannot depend on chance for Its sup
port. The producers must meet the
Gamer half way and be prepared TO
furnish him consignments OF fruits
and vegetables from the beginning OF
the season until the end. He must.
make it his aim, in growing fruit, to
produce a regular quantity for the
cannery each season.
Were the farmers and orchardists
of Puget Sound now in a position TO
do this the industry would be one OF
our largest and most profitable. But
a big fruit and vegetable packing
establishment can no more run at
profit on waste fruit" than big sal
mon cannery can be operated on the
surplus from the market fishermen's
nets.
The business of fruit and vegetable
growing must be engaged in system
atically and on a large scale. The
canneries will wish to buy OF the
farmer at wholesale and at wholesale
prices. The farmer, IL he would do
his part, must produce in large guam
titles the products the canneries wish
to pack. and must be satisfied to ex-
change small sales and large profits
in a limited market for small profits
and quick returns on large quantities
of produce sold in a market which
will be found practically unlimited.
A private cannery has been running
in the vicinity OF Olympia for several
years, under the ownership Of the
Hon. J. O'Brien Scobey. 1t had its
inception in a small way, and Mr..
Scobey has been turning out variety
of the finest table delicacies from
fruits-both "waste" stock and the
best products Of the trees being util
lied. The trade he has built up, we
understand, is very profitable, and his
market is steady and constantly ex-
panding. If one section Of the state
can do so we'll by the fruit cannery
we see no reason why other sections
cannot do the same.
Here is the opportunity Of the own
err of tho logged Of lands, of which
so much has been written lately. Any
man with a little money and plenty
Of industry may, II he chooses, en-
bark in the business Of growing fruit
and vegetables on a large scale, and
if he is within reasonable distance of
any of the larger towns and cities on
the Sound he will find no trouble in
disros'ng of his products.

COMMISSION ROW TALK

Tn regard to fruits, the general tone
of the market has held up through the
entire season in way that II mas not
for several wears past. Ryan q New
ton claim that the market Tor all KINDS
of fruit has been unusually nrm ana
that there have been practlcally no
oluts on any varieties. Inc grow
ers they claim, have shown Detter
Judgment this year in marketing their
produce. and this has contributed III
no small degree in keeping the mar
Lats in as good condition as they have
been. This tendency on the part OF
tbe fruit raisers is extremely encour-
aging TO the commission men, VINO
claim that poor judgment in shipping
and in the time of trying to market
tbe goods has caused themselves ana
the growers considerable trouble IN
the mast and has tended to reduce
profits for both. This year the grow
ers have seemed to realize that II
takes skill in marketing the fruit, as
we'll as growing it, and have kept the
markets in good shape throughout the
season. AS a consequence both the
growers and the commission men nave
made more money. Crops have been
large this year, and there has been
lust as much occasion for confusion
as there has been in the past, but
this has been skillfully avoided, and
the big crops have been marketed jul
diciously. with the result that this
will he one of the best years for the
fruit-ranchers that they have had for
some time. Another thing that has
Influenced the market has been the
unusual number of tourists who have
been going through the northwest this
wear. These people have been big
purchasers of fruit, as Washington
fruit attracts them, most Of them
coming from eastern states, where
such produce cannot be grown with
success.
irresponsible reports circulated by
the daily papers, which seem to have
Inexperienced the situation, have
given the impression that the peach
market is glutted and that prices have
dropped down. They are making
statements to the effect that the time
has come for the housewife to do her
canning or preserving. This is not
true, however, for the peach market
Is yet very firm and prices are fairly
strong. Peaches have been coming
in in large quantities, it is true, but
there has also been a large demand
for them and the market has held up
well. Not even the cheapest varieties
of peaches are being sold at the pres
ent time for less than IS cents a
box. The prices are ranging from 90
to 80 cents. Later on in the season
when the market does break to some
extent and the proper time comes for
canning peaches, they will be selling
at from 40 to 65 cents box. There
is a good crop in all the peach-groW-
ing sections, and the fruit is coming
in rapidly, but it is being cleaned up
we'll and prices are holding firm.
One peculiar thing that the commits
sion men have noted this year, accord
ing to J. D. Blowers, is that great
portion of the fruit reaching the Sc
attic market is coming from Wen
atchee. Shipments are larger from
Wenatchee than ever before, while
on the other hand the shipments from
Yakima have been scarcer. This is
attributed to the fact that great
amount of Yakima fruit has been go
