should be made at the present prices,
it would mean a loss of about $4,000.
Mr.. Pincus says, to the growers, it
costing in the neighborhood of 10 cents
a pound taking into consideration the
price paid labor, to raise hops.
cat the present time," said Mr.. Pin
Gus, "it looks somewhat disheartening
for the hop growers of Washington,
owing to the low prices. There is
nothing doing in contracts, and in
some places holders of old hops are
throwing them on the market at al
most nothing. Nevertheless, there
may be a reaction at any time. In
1882, when hops in this state went to
$105 a pound the prices were as much
off at the opening of the season as
they are now. Hops were contracted
at the outset that year at 10 cents a
pound.
"The over-production Of hops is
caused by large numbers going into
the growing business. In 1902, 1908
and 1904, prices of hops ranged from
Is to 81 cents pound. These attrac-
tive prices greatly increased the acre
age and the output at once enormously
expanded. In 1902 the hop crop of the
United States amounted to 10000
bales. In 1903 it was 10000 bales. In
1904 it was 258,000 bales, and in 1905
it jumped to $4,000 bales. Last year
100000 bales of hops were raised in
the United States, an increase of near
ly 100000 bales, and in 1905 it jumped
to the crop this season will amount to
about $4,000 bales.
"The price of hops which in 1904
was, in some cases, 81 cents, dropped
on account of this over production, to
from to IL cents in 1905. Last year
the contract price of hops was 10
cents. We are advising all hop grow
ers to take the best care of their crop.
There is still plenty of time for a
big turn in prices"

The Aristocratic Newton Pippin.

The increasing demand for the Vel
low Newton pippin in the markets of
the world, especially in the European
markets, has caused an unusual inter
est to be taken in this apple by the
farmers of the Northwest, and The
Ranch has consequently interviewed
a number of authorities with view
to getting information about this ap-
pie that would be of interest to our
readers Among those talked to was
w. N. White, the big apple dealer of
New York City, who has been identi-
fed with the expansion of the market
for this apple for number of years.
1t seems that the Newton pippin
was first raised FROM seed at place
called Newton, Long Island. The
Newtons were next raised on the Hud-
son river, and for quite number of
years the Hudson river Newton pip
pins had the run of the best trade of
New York and London. Mr.. White
says that back in the sixties this ap-
pie was sold as high as $25 a box.
The next place where the apple was
grown successfully was in Virginia.
There the character of the fruit was
altered by the soil and climate and
the Virginia apple is known today as
the Albemarle Pippin. From Virginia
the Newton was transplanted in Mis-
souri, and from there gratis of trees
were taken to the Stewart ranch at
Medford, Ore, and to Jacksonville,
Cal., where the quality of the eastern
apple was improved upon. While OF
the same stock, the apple grown in
California, Oregon and Washington is
considerably different as far as shape
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-09-15

Calville, which to the Frenchman is
the finest apple grown, the Newton of
Washington and Oregon stands next.
The Newton Is not grown to any ex-
tent outside of Virginia, New York,
Oregon, California and Washington,
and in Oregon and Washington it is
grown to the greatest perfection.
With the limited area in which they
can be produced and the already large
markets constantly expanding for this
apple, it would seem a very profitable
crop for the growers of the Pacific
Northwest to produce.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-09-15

err with an attached slip charging
commission and freight, the shipper,
whoever he might be, would then be
satisfied that he had received full
accounting of what his goods had
realized" Mr.. White stated that he
always sent out the auctioneer's ac-
count sales, no matter whether the
goods were sold in America, or in any
part of Europe. He said that he did
that to prove his good faith, and to
show that he had nothing to do with
trimming the sales" He also stated
that he pasted a slip to the account
sales showing the amount he had
paid for carriage, and then charging
his agreed commission, giving the
shipper the balance of the proceeds.

goes. The California apple is fiat on
top. The apple grown in Oregon and
Washington Is long apple, more like
the Albemarle.
Mr.. White says that the growers
of Newton pippins should thin their
crops in order to get the apples of best
quality, as is done at Hood River and
Medford. He understands this is be-
ing done at Yakima, Wenatchee and
other places in Washington, but he
does not believe from what he has
seen of apples from those vicinities
that it is done generally enough. That
is the only way to get apples of high
quality for the eastern and European
markets. The growers in the east and
at jacksonville, Cal, are reluctant to
thin their crops because they think
that it spoils one-half of their crop to
do this. 1t is true that it lessons by
about one-half, the number of apples
produced, but it is also true that by
virtue of the increased size of the ap-
pie, the trees that are thinned will
produce more boxes of apples than the
trees which are not, and when it is
considered that box of fancy fruit
grown on the thinned tree is worth
double and treble the ordinary apple,
it can readily be determined how the
farmer can we'll afford to thin his
trees and make what he thinks Is a
sacrifice earlier in the season. The
expense of picking is also less. A
picker can pick as many large apples
as he can small ones in day, and at
the end of the day he has considerably
more boxes of apples than he would
if he were working with a crop of
smaller sized apples.
Mr.. White says that it is very hard
to impress this fact upon the growers
until they have studied the matter, be-
cause they think they are destroying
part of their crop and losing money,
whereas, they are in truth taking steps
that will double their ultimate in
come.
There is wonderful market de-
veloping for the Yellow Newton of
Washington and Oregon. The English
man thinks that next to the Cox S
orange pippin there is no apple quite
so good as the Newton pippin, grown
in Washington and Oregon, and he is
willing to pay good price for it. Den
mark, Sweden and other countries are
also good markets, and in France, out
side of an apple known as the White

The successful dairyman is the one
who improves on his methods year af-
ter year, for improved methods usually
mean more profit. I have in mind a
dairyman running only six cows. He
last year experimental with alfalfa
(three-fourths of an acre.. This year
he has taken off that patch five tons
of as nice hay as you ever saw. He is
now preparing to SOW five acres. Next
year he will have ten or eleven COWS

4 GRANITE FIND IN WATERBURY,
Deposit Found on Land Of George W,
Randall in That Town.

Waterbury, Sept 11.--So far as in.
yestigatigated Waterbury, has land
which contains valuable deposit Of
granite. The land is located on Wood
ard hill and is owned by Hon. w, Ran.
dali and Thomas Deyine. The quarry
extends as far as the land owned BY J..
f. pixley and A. T. Torrey, thus II
the quality proves as good as the sur
face would indicate, there is q fortune
ahead for Woodland hill land owners,
and large business boom ahead for

It is expected that Mr.. Randall, who
has ample means and is one of the
largest land owners in Waterbury, viii
put a gang of quarry workers on his
property at once. If the stone proves
good he will invest thousands Of dollars
In equipping the quarry with the nost
modern machinery for quarrying
granite. Mr. Randall is very enthusiast
tic over the prospects.
The quarry and the land owned by
Thomas Deyine is now being worked.
a large block was taken out last Fri
day aud another one yesterday. The
quality Of the granite Is darker than
Barre dark and in texture 1t is finer
One block from the Deyine quarry has
been polished and takes an excellent
polish.
The stone il it proves good will be

it resembles Barre dark, the two

more than probable, that outside capita

HOSPITALITY IN BOSTON.

describes Boston hospitality:
Indeed one was surprised to learn
that Boston was to have an Old Home
Week at alt Hospitality Of mind rath-
e. than Of heart has been Boston's char
acteristic. II you SO to San Francisco
and meet friend, he viii ask you to
stay week with him. In Omaha he
win take you home over night, in Chi
sago he will take YOU out to dinner,
in New York he win hurry you on to
luncheon, in New Haven he will hand
you a good cigar, in Boston he will give
You an apple.
But when he saw them washing Josiah
Quincy's face in front Of the City Hall
and putting UP historical tablets on
every third house and in gorgeous an
nouncement circulars advertising even
the east wind, we knew that Boston
must be learning, as her Old Home Week
motto suggests, to Get busy"
