The Dishonest Pack.

The question now arises, what is to
be done with the dishonest grower
who packs his peaches with the inten-
tion of robbing the commission mer-
chant.
On Monday Of this week The Packer
man was walking along the street and
observed LIT OF Texas fiat crates
filled with what appered to be perfect
specimens of the luscious EIbertas.
In each basket there appeared through
the opening in the crate three nice
large peaches which filled the basket.
The Packer man remarked what fine
peaches you have there. eyes, " re
piled the commission merchant in a
tone of disgust, "those are fine peach.
es. will show you Just how fine
they are" Taking hammer he be-
gan opening the crates. Upon eXmi-
nation il was found that there we're
but six large peaches, three on each
side of the basket The center row
an the entire bottom layer we're very
small peaches, put in in such way
that each basket when properly re.
packed lacked from one-fourth to one.

Irrigated or NOn-Irrigated Fruit.

Editor II. j. Wickson, of the Pa
ciiic Rural Press, has recently sent
out number of queries to leading
fruit growers in the Pacific coast
states relative to irrigation fol size,
quality, yield and commercial suita-
biity of fruits. A summary of the
replies from the Pacific Northwest in
dictate that whore the grower irri
gates he considers the product super.
ior, and where there Is no irrigation
that the fruit may he considered as
good with better keeping quality, evil
dence of prejudice in favor of what
method is under practice.
AS fruit growers Me learning to use
water judiolously, average crops show
better results with than without arti.
icial watering. Italian prunes of the
poorest keeping quality ever shipped
to the st. Paul market came from an
over irrigated orchard, while the
same variety of prune grown on non.
irl igated upland soil mas been shipped
to England, arriving in good condi-
tion and sold at profitable prices.
The poor keeping quality of the
prune from the irrigated orchard was
no doubt due to over watering, for
italian prunes with good keeping
quality have been grown in irrigated
orchards where proper application
of water has been made.
1t is too frequently the case in hu-
mid sections that "'t0o dry" fall will
cause weak fruit buds for next season,
while tho irrigator giving sufficient
mC isture in mid summer can avoid
that difficulty. Too many of the
rain depending" orchards are not
cultivated, or else the mulch
crop is insuiiiient or is removed,
leaving the trees with too lit Q nour-
ishment.
1t makes little difference to tree
whether moisture comes from one
source or the other, only so the
ground is damp enough for the action
of plant-food making bacteria, while
on the other hand not so wet that the
trees must perform merely the funo-
tilon OF wind mill pumps.

MnY Rnild 10 the Cnast.

Throughout the country from Ilwaco
to Kalama it is becoming settled
belief that the north bank line of The
Hill railroads will be built through to
the seasbore, with deep water har.
bor at Fra kfort, opposite Astoria
Although no official statement can he
obtained from Northern Pacific olilc-
ials, there is every indication that
the Hill roads are completing a sur
Vey for trunk line and are buying
rights of way.
The project is OF great Importance
to owners of lands and timber along
the lower beachs at llwacO, where
summer resorts are cut off from the
world whenever the steamer Potter is
unable to run.
Fresh activity Of railroad engineers
along the north bank below Kalama is
exciting the livelest interest of the
natives. A party OF l6 surveyors who
appeared at llwacO week ago, com
ing direct from st. Paul, are now at
work surveying near Frankfort. 1t is
said that Great Northern checks have
been passed by them at Wahcotta,
and the report is current that they
are in the employe Of the Hill roads.
For the last year there has been rail.
road building in progress almost con
tinuously since last fall. No informa-
tion has been obtained through in
quiry among the builders, excepting
that they we're constructing logging
road. The people are beginning to
believe the alleged logging road will
prove to be a section of the north
bank line from Vancouver to the sea.
