TALKS WITH OUR READERS

There is hardly little hamlet in
any part of the civilized world where
the statement tits the little things
which make life worth the living" has
not been quoted hundreds of times.
Now, if it is the little things of life
which make it worth the living, isn't
it fair to believe that it is really other
little things which make some people
say that life is not worth the living.
If the first is true and if we agree
that the second is true, then we must
agree that we have conjured out a
paradox and that the little things of
life are really big things, because life
is big and great.
And because all of these things are
admittedly true, there is every reason
why each and everyone of us should
make a special effort to see to it that
the little things we have in our control
and which affect the lives of others
should be so directed as to make the
lives affected, as bright as these little
things can make them.
If everyone did this, then all the
troubles of life would cease and we
would have reached the millennium.
The Ranch acknowledges in it's Mail
Bag Department, this issue, the kind
words and pleasant report of two or
it's advertisers. And in this depart
ment, we desire to publish another
report from w. D. Goodrich & Sons, of
Wanna, Pierce County, Washington,
because their letter is one of the lit
tie things which go to make our life
bright, and to acknowledge to these
good people our appreciation of their
compliment.

The Ranch is in receipt of Great
Crops of Strawberries and How to

pamphlet will be sent free on applica-

of the business from the preparation
of the soil to the marketing of the
crop of berries or plants. The writer
was acquainted with Robert M. Kel-

berry business in this country and
knows the thorough business methods
applied to all branches of the work,

1t is suggested that the Ranch FAM
lily keep in touch with the advertising
columns as closely as does the man
ager of The Ranch. 1t is the aim OF
the publication not to permit any ad'
vertising of irresponsible concerns IN
it's columns. However, we might make
a mistake in which event we would
like to be put wise.
Every advertiser in our columns is
looked up carefully before his bust
ness is accepted, so we know pretty
we'll that nothing but good straight
goods are offered However, if at any
time, any Ranch advertiser does hot
deal right on the square, let us know
about it and we will go after the sub
iect.

Meat-packing plants, more milk con-
densaries and more fruit canneries
will afford a market for the products
of a larger area of titled land ana
more intensive system of farming.
Newcomers from the East need not
fear that markets are already well sup
piled The demand will grow faster
than the supply of raw products.

SOME FRUITS OF ORGANIZATION.

The fruit and vegetable growers of
this state will be able to secure a
large extension of their market priv
ieges in consequence of the new
schedule of rates recently adopted or
agreed upon at conference between
the State Railway Commission ana
representatives of the Northern Elk
press Company. The new rates are
based on mileage schedule. Any dis
lance up to 40 miles is 35 cents hun
dred. For every increase of 10 miles
the rate is increased cents hun
dred up to 200 miles After 200 miles
5 cents per hundred is added for every
20 miles additional.
This result has been secured by or
ganized effort The fight was led by
Senator Paulhamus, who has also
aided the small farmers of his locality
to organize. He was an Indiana
banker until about ten years ago. Then
he came to Sumner and without expe-
rience began to make model farm.
He has only sixty-five acres of land
and does not till all of that. He found
berry growing IN small way at Puy-
allup and saw bright future for the
industry. He organized the farmers
and the first year the cannery was
financial failure. They were producing
about 1000 crates of berries and had
no market for those at 60 cents per
crate Now they are producing about
100000 crates and get from $1.5O to
$1.75 per crate. One plot of rhubarb
which paid the man before him but
500 per acre he makes pay $1,000 per
year. This is done by properly fertil-
izing the land.
To organization is also due the re-
duction in the rates charged for sacks
to the grain growers to 71a cents each,
and the reduction in transportation
charges on those sacks of rs per cent
after May l. This item alone amounts
to a considerable sum. State Grain
Commissioner j. w. Arrasmith has
furnished a statement (estimated) OF
the amount of grain produced in 1907
in the grain growing counties OF the
state. The estimate shows that the
twelve grain-growing counties have
100000 acres of wheat, producing
4O.845,OOO bushels; 141,000 acres in
barley, producing $4,000 bushels,
and $4,000 acres in oats, producing
5,425,000 bushels.
Of the sacks made at the state peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla the state
board of control has apportioned to
the counties as follows:
Garfield, $1,000; Columbia, 10000;
Walla Walla, 10000; Whitman, $780,
ESQ; Spokane, $4,000; Lincoln, 1873, 100;
Adams, 187,5O0; Douglas, 10000;
Franklin, 100000; Benton, $4,000;
Klickatat, 33,750; Yakima, $4,000.
