The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-15

after a most careful study of the adj
vantages of the Northwestern cities.
Seattle might have been the fortunate
one. had her citizens not been SO
utterly Indifferent to the matter. 1t
is not at all unlikely that the Swifts
were Influenced to some extent in
passing this city by because of the
strong opposition to packing houses
already here. These firms have been
bully-ragged by the people living on
the hill above them and by the city
government for several years, and
they have been several times very
near to receiving a death blow. None
of the firms are, therefore, willing to
make any extensive improvements,
because they don't know when they
will be kicked out of the city limits.
Indeed, Carstens Bros. have put up
their principal packing plant in Ia
coma, where they are able to carry
on their business without molestation.
1t is an actual fact that a most
despicable form of blackmail has been
levied on these packing houses by a
certain individual who poses as a
reputable member of the press, and
claims to control the columns of the
dailies to such an extent that nothing
damaging shall appear therein against
them. He wrings his tribute from
them in very genteel fashion in the

ducts in this state. His convincing
talk in Spokane few weeks ago has
been followed by the organization Of
the growers in Spokane county. Now
comes the news from Mount Vernon,
the county seat of Skagit county, that
Mr. Paulhamus has been talking to
the people there regarding the culture
and canning of fruit. 'The keynote
of Mr.. Paulhamus' address," says the
Mount Vernon Argus, twas the neces-
sity of organization among the farm
ers in order to engage in highly prof.
table fruit and vegetable growing"
He declared that industry and bust
ness methods bring results in farm
ing the same as in any other form
of industry. One of the central prin-
ciples which has led to Mr.. Paul
hamus' success in marketing the pro-
ducts of the soil, is his insistance on
making the things you wish to sell
attractive and desirable. Because he
ships milk in neat looking glass bot
ties from his sanitary dairy at Sum-
ner, he is able to get ten cents
quart while most of his competitors
receive only five cents a quart. 1t is
largely due to Mr.. Paulhamus' in
defatigable efforts that the fruit
growers of the Puyallup valley are
organized and get prices for their
fruit better than any other growers
in the state.

A Brazen Attempt to Deceive.

Two or three times lately attention
has been called by The Ranch to a
plot that has been on foot to have
the tax on colored oleomargarine re-
duced from 10 to 2 cents pound. AS
all progressive dairymen know, OLE
margarine, colored to give it the ap-
pearance Of butter, is now taxed 10
cents per pound, and this law, since
enacted, has been the means Of max
ing the substitute for butter stand on
it's own merits. Previous to the enact
ment of the law, the stuff was colored
up and placed on the markets of the
large cities as pure butter, and in this
way it became considerable of COM
petitor to the dairy interests of the
country. With the session of another
congress on, it was given out that an
attempt would be made to amend the
law in such manner as to materially
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-15

cripple its effectiveness. 1t was pro-
posed to reduce the tax on oleomar-
garine colored to resemble butter from
10 cents to 2 cents per pound. 1t
doesn't seem possible that any man
who has had the confidence of the
voters long enough to be elected to the
honorable position of congressman,
would be guilty of aiding a movement
that is so plainly and brazenly an
attempt to deceive the purchasing pub
lie into buying a poor substitute for
a genuine article. Yet there appear
to be such men in congress, and If
reports are true, their number is not
small, as it is feared that there is
some chance of passing measure as
outlined above. 1t means considerable
to the dairy interests of the entire
country, to say nothing of the ras-
cality of the proposed legislation, and
we are sure that the delegations from
Washington and neighboring states,
where the dairy interests are large,
will do all in their power to prevent
any change in the oleo law. The
present session of congress is nearing
it's close, and as yet nothing has been
done to enact such measure as out
lined above, but we understand that
the friends of oleomargarine are work
ing on the quiet in an effort to enlist
the sympathy of the members of con-

Who Has Chester Whites?

A subscriber at Urban writes The
Ranch for the names and addresses
of breeders of Chester White hogs,
as he wants to purchase male Of
this breed. The only man who adj
vertises this breed in The Ranch has
already sold our Urban correspondent
one of his fine hogs, and some one
else, with a different strain, has a
chance to make sale, too. In reply
to our correspondent we were able to
give the name of just one breeder,
in addition to the two he mentions.
1t is surprising that more breeders
do not want to let the thousands of
readers of The Ranch know who and
where they are!

form of a monthly salary and even
boasts of the princely income he re-
ceives on the ground that he is the
"go-between" of the packers with the
dailies. 1t is not probable that the
publishers of the Seattle dailies are
even aware that this extensive black
mailing scheme is being carried on,
for if they were they would put stop
to it, but the packers have been "buf-
faloed" into thinking he Stands in"
with the publishers, and therefor sub
nit meekly to the extortion.

PortIand's New Packing Plant.

Swift e Co. have finally selected
Portland as the site of their big pack
ing house, and that city is accordingly
to be congratulated it means the
establishment of great industry
there, requiring the investment of
enormous capital, and the employ
ment of large number of people.
The packing of livestock products for
not alone the Northwest markets but
the Orient and Alaska will be carried
on at this point. The stock of our
Northwest farms and ranges will be
shipped there to be butchered instead
OF to the East, the cured product to
be returned to the Coast as at present.

is for the friends of the dairy interests

are planning to erect two other similar
plants in the state, one of them to be

A st. Louis firm is reported as
thinking of coming into the Yakima
valley and establishing factory for
the pulverizing of alfalfa hay and
making of it what is commonly called
alfalfa meal" There are several
such factories throughout the country
and they all appear to be making
large sales, as alfalfa meal is of great
value to the stock raiser and dairy
man. A factory in this state would
be a great boon to many.
Evidence continues to accumulate
in the office of The Ranch that the
firms who plant their advertisements
in these columns are reaping a rich
harvest of shekels. The other day

Crescent ranch at Kennewick and
breeders of pure blood Rhode Island

H. j. Waters, dean of the Missouri
state agricultural college, himself
from farm, gives this advice concern
ing the education of farmer boys:
"The experience young man gains
on the farm is most valuable asset.
He should not throw it away by enter
ing some other profession in which
this experience is of no special value.
This is particularly true when we con-
slider THE extent to which most of
the professions are crowded and the
unusual opportunities now offered in
agriculture. Every farm boy in any
state should supplement this expert
ence by training in college of agri-
culture, so as to be prepared for the
greatest possible success

Tree culture is a business in
which the Great Northern rail
way company is about to engage
ding to a report current; in
railroad circles. It's said that
the railway company proposes to
plant large quantities Of young
trees at various points along its
prairie lines so as to be able in
the future to supply its own
ties and fence posts.
The time is coming when ties
and lumber of all kinds will
reach very high prices, especially
in the west, and it is proposed
to meet the emergency BY es-
tablish1ng and maintaining tree
plantations at convenient points
along the line Of railway.
This sch eme has been under
3conside deration by other roads for
some time and no doubt will be
developed. The work best adapt
ed for railway ties is birch.
This grows rapid " in this sec
tion. AS the trees grow large
and commence to crowd each
other they will be thined out for
fence posts.
