The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

American Lake is directly between
Tacoma and the sit selected by Secre-
tary of War Taft and the highest Of
ficers of the United States Army for
a BRIGADE army post. They have sue
commended to Congress an appropria-
ton of at least one million dollars for
the purchase of corner Of this great
natural park-declaring that it is bet
ter adapted for a great army post and
maneuver grounds than any other site
in the United States. This insures
the location here of the Brigade Post
and Maneuver Grounds allotted to the
Pacific Coast. Secretary Of War Taft
personally inspected the site south OF
American Lake last September.
1t will be very much to the advant-
age of every reader of The Ranch to
write to Messrs. e. F. Gregory & Com
pany. 100 Twelfth St., Tacoma, Wash
ington. and secure splendid booklet
which this company has issued detail
ing the particular value of farming

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

The rate on apples this year from
our station--Toppenish- Seattle
and doubtless some other Sound
points is 30 cents per hundred, which
is higher than it has ever been before.
But the chief cause of our complaint
is its classification. The company
claims that it bills our fruits out at
actual weight. This is doubtless true
in some cases, but is not true in all
cases. as our express bills in my pos
session wi show. We commenced
shipping early summer apples to Sc
attic July s, and kept it up for a few
days and quit. All these apples were
billed out at so lbs for each box. That
made the express charges As cents per
box. One such shipment sold for rs
and SIS cents per box. We received,
after express charges and commission
were paid, just "a cents per box. Our
boxes cost us II cents in the fiat.
Hauling the material to our ranch and
making up the boxes added 2 cents
more We paid our packers 5 cents
per box for packing. The wrapping
and lining paper cost us cents more
for each box. Picking and hauling the
apples to the packing shed and then
hauling to the station cost us 5 cents
more. Ali this aggregates 26 cents
per box. This left us cents out of
pocket and nothing for care of our or
chards in pruning, spraying, thinning,
etc. making the whole cost about SO
cents per box.
1t can be seen, says the Rev. F Wal
den, in The Ranch, that we were out
of pocket 26 cents on each box of these
apples. 1t may be claimed that this
was an exceptional case; it was. But
had these apples sold for $1.00 per
box we would have still been out of
pocket cents on each box. Had
they sold at $1.25 per box we would
have received us cents net per box;
and had they sold for $3.50 per box
we would have received but 40 cents
as our net returns. One dollar and
fifty cents was the highest price we
received. 1t can be seen by this
statement that the express company
received more in any case for trans
porting our apples to market than we
received in profits, while in other
cases we were left out OF pocket 30
cents per box. We can not do bust
ness that way, and have quit.
When it comes to peaches, the
charges are prohibitive. We can't
pay them and we won't pay them.
In former years it cost us Is cents
to ship box of peaches-when we
had three boxes or more-tO Seattle
or Tacoma, and Is cents to Spokane.
We shipped some years as high as
5000 boxes by express; this year we
will ship none. What We are doing
other growers are doing. Can the eX-
press company afford to kill it's bust
ness in shipping fresh fruits? That
is a question for the company to an
swer, not u.s.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

This article from the pen of F. Wal
den is an excerpt from a contribution
made to The Ranch some weeks ago.
80 clearly points out the Importance of
selecting an agricultural producing
district close to markets.
The environs of the city of Tacoma
present the most enviab.e and delec-
table portion of the state of Washing
ton today, because for the purposes of
the agriculturist it affords a district
rich in resource, fertile in soil with a
market needing to satisfy the demands
of q half million people within an hour
and a half of two hours easy reach
and by cheap transportation.
II. A. Durr, who operates a poultry
farm almost within the city limits of
Tacoma, states that during the past
year he has earned a net income ex-
ceeding $1,000 from three-fourths of
an acre devoted to this industry.
This is not an unusual record for
careful, conservative and industrious
effort. And Tacoma with her markets
and a population which is rapidly
growing, offers to the intelligent and
business-.ike farmer an unusually de-
sirable market. BY water route Seat
tie lies but forty miles away and here
again we have an almost Unsuitable
market demanding vast quantities of
produce. In the resident districts of
Seattle today eggs are selling at GO
cents the dozen. Butter. homemade
cheese. broilers and chickens fresh
from the farm sell for proportionate
