The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-03-01
A Market Number of The Ranch.

The subject of Marketing of Fruit"
has grown to be such an all-important
one with fruit growers, horticulturists
and ranchers all over the Northwest
that it can be no longer denied the
first place in every discussion. The
Ranch has gone over the subject, from
time to time, in the same light way
that has heretofore characterized its
treatment at the hands Of the growers
themselves. Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and portions Of Montana have
settled their collective destiny and
are fairly launched before the world
as horticultural states. Discussions
as to methods of growing fruit, pack
ing it, and storing it, are all very well,
in their way, and wholly necessary,
but neither of them, even If solved
with entire satisfaction, can mean the
most to the seeker for knowledge, II
the problem of marketing Is not first
solved. AS the darkey said, when dis
cussing the best way of cooking a
hare:
DE fust ting is to cotch de rabbit"
We must first know our market, be
aware of it's needs, and Of its capac-
ity. Then, we may quickly and rea-
sonably proceed to the solution OF
other like problems connected with
our profession.
1t is along these lines that The
Ranch will proceed with its investixar
lions for the next three months.
We are threatened with bumper
crop in the Northwest this year. This
may be either blessing or calam-
ity, as the case may be.
And the cease" wholly depends on
whether we know where to market our
produce.
By knowing, we mean, to be abso-
lutely certain of the market, its Ca
pacity to absorb produce and the price
at which it will absorb, either large
or small quantities.
In the issue Of June LIST, The Ranch
will present to it's readers all that 1t
is possible for us to discover concern
ing this problem.
The number will be superb double
number in colors, utterly unlike any
thing ever attempted by this publ1ca-
ton in the entire twenty-fOur volumes
of it's existence.
We want you to know that this num-
Der will be very expensive.
And in order to get copy free of
all expense to yourself, and to help
us to pursue the subject to its ult1-
mate conclusion, we must ask all de-
linquent subscribers to pay promptly,
and we ask as favor that you send
us the subscription of one friend.
The single number will sell for fifty
cents on the news-stands so soon as
published.

Grange figures are not within reach

that there is any county in the state
that can beat Whatcom in the number
of new oranges organized. Scarcely
a week passes but what there has
been a grange gotten up and charter
ed in that county-and they all seem
to be doing well.
According to the deductions made
by County Inspector Brown, of Yaki-
ma county, the fruit crop this year
will be good one. Mr.. Brown made
a careful examination of many
orchards after the cold weather let
up and has announced that he finds
no damage worth mentioning. The
fruit buds were all found in good con-
dition
Chelan county now has fruit in

but that he will find plenty to do,
with so many orchards coming into

request Of the Chelan County Horti-
cultural Association and the We
natchee Commercial Club.

The work Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture Is not so well
appreciated by the National house of
representatives as it might be. The
representatives are chosen by the peo-
pie and the latter should be given

doing something in which by far the
largest number of the people in the
United States are interested.
There is every prospect that dur

cannery in operation in the Nook

Tor the large amount of fruit that at

canneries In the Puyallup valley and
In the Yakima have done well the past
season, and we see no reason why one
IN the Nooksack valley should not do
as well.

WANTS EN- TO WORK AND
THEY AREN'T PAID TO PLAY.

The Senate seems to have a lot of
time on its hands. Believing, perhaps,
that there may be some truth in the
old adage regarding the devil and idle
hands, they have challenged the House
to play baseball.
Failing to shine as Legislators and
desiring, perhaps, to give the people
something for their money, they want
to make this exhibition of themselves.
The Speaker says, however that the
House has no time for baseball He
intends to have the members put in a
full working day on Saturday on the
business for which they were elected
by the peiple. He has appointed the
House janitor and chaplain a commit
tee to break the news to the Senate.

THE IRSHMEN'S
LOVE OF COUNTRY

Love of country in the Irish is dis
tinctive trait. Like every deep and
genuine affection, it is not clamorous or
arrogant. This ideal lives ever in the
Irish mind; it is stepped in the en-
dearment of the heart, and shines in
the light of the Irish imagination.
Wherever the Irish go they bear this
with them. The undying love which
Irqland holds in the Irish memory
seems to be strangely different from
what circumstances might suggest.
Usually the Irishman quits his coun-
try with no hope that it shall again
give him habitation or a name; but
the true man never scorns and never
forgets it. When he does, let his word
have no value, his friendship no honor,
this presence no homage; and let no
other country trust him.
And so it is that on the evening of
March 18th, the Irish in particular, in
their devotion to the memories of the
past, will gather at the exercises at st.
Louis College Hall, to do honor to the
nation and the race.
