Wants Simple Language Used.

An Oak Harbor subscriber, who
signs himself '"The Dutchman," writes
to The Ranch as follows: 81 ask that
in educating the farmers or telling
them something the writer's in your
paper use as common names or words
as possible, or when uncommon names
are used it would be we'll to add the
common name in parenthesis. | am
a Dutchman and stand in line with
the Irishman to be laughed at, still
I like to know some things. There
has been considerable talk about u.s.
ing lime on the land and nobody has
told how to do it, or if air slaked or
water slaked lime is used and so on.
About Bordeaux mixture nobody tells
us that bluestone is used, but always
uses some words that We foreign farm
ers do not understand. 1t tells us
nothing other than that very few of

for it. This firm disposed of the box
to a grocer at Westlake avenue and
Thomas street, Seattle, where 1t was
purchased by Mrs. A. G. Stathdea. She
came across the note put in by Mr..
Morical, and it seems she handed it
to her husband, who replied to it six
weeks later, after he had gone east
of the mountains, saying the peaches
had cost his wife $1.75. This infor-
nation was conveyed to the Wenat-
chez Advance, with the result that an
article came out attacking j. b.
Powles & Co. in particular and the
commission men on Western avenue
in general. The assertion was made
that this firm was paying the fruit
growers only a small part of the money
received from the sale of their pro-
duce, as would readily be seen If it
were true that the consumers paid
S1.75 per box for peaches for which
the growers received but 65 cents.
AS soon as J. B. Powles e Co. read
the article in the Wenatchee paper
they set out to ascertain the facts
and to refute the charge of dishon-
esty. Mrs Stathdea was hunted up
and she recollected the box of
peaches clearly, stating that the price
paid by her to the grocer of whom she
bought it was just IS cents. The gro
Ger in question, w. D. Graves, was
next seen, and he produced the orr
ginal invoice, showing the price he
had paid was 65 cents. Mrs. Stathdea
explained that she had handed the
Morical note to her husband, and 1t
seems he made mistake in giving
the price at $1.75. Some time elapsed
between his receiving the note from
his wife and his writing to Mr.. Nor
ical, which may account for the mis-
take. Had the Wenatchee paper made
little investigation before publish
ing such an article it could easily
have found out where the discrepancy
laid.
No reputable commission firm will
attempt to make $1.10 profit out OF
each box of peaches that it receives.
Such practices would speedily become
known among the shippers and the
firm would have to go out of business
in double-quick time. The Seattle
Produce Exchange, of which J. B.
Powles & Co. are members, would not
countenance anything like such over
charging on shipments. 1t is a re-
Election on the integrity Of the orga-
nization as a whole to accuse one OF
it's most reputable members of such
dealings as this. Fruit shippers, as
we'll as shippers of other kinds of pro-
duce, can place the most implicit con-
fidence in them and will always re-
ceive a square deal. There may be
a few dissatisfied shippers who expect
more than the market price for their
shipments, and who are eager to seize
upon any slip of the tongue or error
in figures to distort transactions until
it looks like a crime on the part of the
commission house, but shippers who
keep posted on the market and have
a fair knowledge of prices that may
be expected for the various kinds OF
produce will not take any stock in
such stories.

Our Dutchman is putting the matter
pretty strongly, but that is all right.
The Ranch aims to give all it's read
ing matter in as simple language as
possible, but frequently it is impos-
sible to express what we want to say,
without employing an occasional tech
nical word that may not be readily
understood by many a reader of for
eign extraction. There are numerous
reference books to be had and we
would suggest to our Oak Harbor
friend that he get such, or whenever
there is any doubt in his mind about
the meaning of anything said in these
columns we would be glad to hear
from him and supply additional data
or information. Our columns are al
ways open for the discussion of any
subject pertaining to the work of the
farmer, and any reader who does not
fully comprehend the meaning of any
thing said is asked to avail himself
of the privilege.

iastic over the possibilities in the fruit
line for the Puyallup. Mr.. Crum was
particularly optimistic over the pos
sibilities that lay in the berry bust
ness, believing that there will in
short time be an immense business
being done by Puyallup growers In
shipping canned berries.

The fruit inspector of Yakima coun-
ty has been kept pretty busy the past
few weeks chasing up bad fruit that
was being sent to other parts. In sew
eral cases he condemned and de-
stroyed large quantities. A vigorous
Inspector is good for any county, pro-
vided he does not overstep his author
ity and destroy fruit that should not
be condemned.
The canning industry is likely to be
revived in North Yakima. For some
time Andrew Weber, of a Seattle bro
kerage firm, has been there with a
view to securing the old canning plant
that has been shut down sometime.
If he can buy this plant at the right
figure he will remodel it and estab-
lish an up-to-date canning plant to
utilize all the fruits he can get.

projects have had action on them de-
ferred indefinitely, and the Yakima
project is in a very fair way to being

er Curry in Kansas City Securing
Men For Chicago.

In the expectation that all of the
union teamsters will go out in Chi
cago this week the Employers Asso-
citation of that city has sent tele-
grams to the various Employers
Associations in the leading cities Of
the country asking them to send
strike-breakers to Chicago as fast as
they can be secured. Already Kan
sas City has shipped over 300 strike
breakers to Chicago, and efforts will
be made by the local employers asso-
citation to send as many more today
and tomorrow
The fight is on in deadly earnest
In Chicago, and the employers say
they will break the backbone of the
TeamSterS' union. In their efforts
they will have the support of associa-
tions of business men throughout the
United States. Advertisements were
inserted in Kansas City newspapers
last night for teamsters who are will
ing TO go to Chicago to take the places
of union men. Transportation is fur
nished the men and they are paid
$3.50 a day and board. Permanent
positions are promised the men, but
those who desire to return home af-
ter the strike is broken will be fur
nished transportation.
Members of the Kansas City En-
ployers' Association look for a repeti-
ton of the riotous scenes that char
acterized the early stages of the team
syers' strike in Chicago. The fact
that practically all of the teamsters
are to be called out, thus more than
doubling the number of men now idle,
will give the present strikers a new
army of recruits and swell the forces
of the discontented to a degree that

there seems little doubt that soldiers
have been promised the Chicago bust
ness men in the event the local au-
thorities are unable to properly pro-
tect wagons and drivers.
Strike Breaker Curry will arrive in
Kansas City, Mo-, from ST. Louis,
where he has been in consultation with
the Employers Association. 1t is said
ST. Louis has contributed large num-
ber of strike breakers and that there
will be more go from that place to

tempting and it is said little difficulty
has been experienced in getting
men to go from Kansas City or ST.

Complaint Made to Roosevelt by Chi
cago Packers.

Chicago, May 16.- Representatives
of four large packing companies have
gone to Washington with the inten-
ton of making a protest to President
Roosevelt against the manner in
which they declare the investigation
into the beef industry is being con-
Quoted before the federal grand jury.
The protest, it is said, will be made
along the following lines:
That packing house witnesses have
been practically browbeaten. before
the grand jury and compelled to tell
what they know; that questionable
detective methods have been used by
the secret service men to secure in.
formation for the government; that
the wives of the packers have been
called before the grand jury to tes-
tify against their husbands who are
out of the city and that they have
been forced to remain constantly in
Chicago for no apparent reason.
That the private mail of some OF
the packers has fallen into the hands
of the government when the mail had
nothing to do with the beef investiga-
ton.
That the general treatment of the
packers in Chicago by the local fed
eral authorities has been like that
accorded by the police toward a com
mon criminal.
1t is said the packers have already
arranged for a meeting with the presi.
dent.
