APPLE CROP IS

apples harvested in the commercial
orchards of the United States this
year were converted into pies there
would be $3.50 100000 of them.
which, placed side by side, would
make path of almost 5000 miles.
The total weight of this mountain of
pastry would be about 9,250,000,000
pounds, including 100000
pounds of flour, lard and other in
gradients in the popular American
dessert. For transportation l54,166
cars of standard capacity would be
required.
Twenty-Five million barrels, or g.
100000 bushels, is the estimated
yield this season, according to reports
received by Harry j. Neely, secretary
of the National Apple Show, of Spo-
kane, from 1000 growers operating
in the various belts in the Union.
The returns show that while
droughts, excessive rains or pests
wrought havoc in many districts in
the Middle Western, Eastern and sew
eral Southern States, the entire crop
Is fully as large as in 1907, and it is
better distributed. Prices also are
higher than last year. However, the
domestic supply is smaller than at
any time since 1895, for the reason
that the demands of the export trade
are heavier and increasing yearly.
Reports from a majority of the
growers indicate that the condition
of summer and fall apples is the
best, but that in numerous districts
the winner varieties are not up to the
standard. This, 1t is stated, is true
in Maryland. Missouri Illinois. Ind
lana and Arkansas, while Massachu-
sets will harvest less than SO per
cent crop. Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island and Vermont re-
port as mucn fruit as IN 1907, but the
crop in Maine will be smaller than
it was last year. However, the quail
ity is fair in most of the districts.

Especial to The Sentinel. ,

Denver, Oct. Ex-senator Horace
T. Delong of Grand junction is hav-
ing troubles of his own in making
his campaign tour of the state.
Night before last at Rico. Senator
DeLong got up to address quite a
good-sized crowd. Shortly after he
commenced speaking and while he
was paying a high tribute to the
republican rule in Colorado. the aud
fence began to fire questions at him
and insisted on debating with him
the question as to whether or not
Guggenheim was running the repub-
lican party and the state.
Finally, getting somewhat out OF
patience. Senator DeLong concluded
his speech in short order and left at
once for Dolores.
At Dolores he met the democratic
Red, White and Blue special yester-
day, and last night sat on the plat
form with the democratic speakers.
He had given notice that he would
answer any questions put to him.
Senator Edward T. Taylor. one of
the speakers. directed several very
pointed questions to the senator from
Mesa county. but the latter simply
took notes and announced that he
would answer these questions at a
later date.
The audience was greatly disap-
pointed, as they thought that Senator
DeLong would endeavor to answer
the questions then and there.
The senator is not meeting with as
listeners in his defense of
as he had contemplated.

'That was before the advent of
the split-log drag as a factor of
Kansas road maintaining.
"Some comparisons furnished
by f 7 Sanborn and r r Ashton
the latter the general manager
of the Chicago Il Northwestern
railway, reveal the economic
worth of the drag. Mr. Sanborn
wrote: "The less expense per
mile for split-log dragging was
$3.50; the average expense per
mile for five and a half. miles a
little oyer S5. For forty years |
have lived along the road and
though during the past season
We experienced the extremes of
weather conditions, both wet
and dry, | cannot recall any time
when the road in question has
been so free from dust"
''The testimony of the railroad
man was equally strong in favor
of the drag. Learning that one
township in Iowa had expert
mented with drag over twenty
eight miles of highway for year
he sent an agent to secure infor-
nation. 1t was reported to him
that though the township had
paid for the making of the drags
and hired men to operate them,
the total expense for the year
averaged but $2.40 per mile and
the roads were reported to have
been like a race track the
larger portion OF the season."
