HOOD RIVER FRUIT
FOR SEATTLE FAIR

q. v. CaStner, county fruit iuspec-
tor, Is in receipt Of letters frcm W.
X. Newell, president OF the Oregon
state board Of horticulture. and W.
ii Wehrung, president of the Oregon
Alaska iukOn- Pacific commission, in
regad 10 having fruit exhibit from
Hood River placed at the Seattle fair.
The Oregon commission has made ar
rangements to properly receive, store
and exhibit fruit products from the
state witht ut expense to the exhibitor
and urges that the tIuit be selected
as Roon as possible aud forwarded to
ID for storage
lt is thought that Hood River coun
ty ought to send an exhibit to the eX-
position that will comprise at least
100 boxes of NewtOwns, SpitZen bergs,
Hydes King and Arkansas Blacks and
any other varieties that will keep well
and make good display.
In his letter Mr. Newell says: "The
apple exhibit must be gathered this
fall aud put in cold storage. The
Oregon commission is building a cold
storage plant in the basement of the
Oregon building at Seattle so that all
fruit dest ined for exhibit can he ship
ped there aud stored.
"Tbe commission will pay the
fre light charges and store the fruit at
the proper time, giving to each coun-
ty, locality, fruit growers union or
lndiviusl donating the fruit full credit
for the same. This will enable any
grower or association to make an ex-
hibit and do some effective advertis-
ing at very small expense. All fruit
intend d for exhibit should be packed
with paper wrappers and cardboard
and rushed into cold storage. This is
of the utmost importance
"Please notify NJ. d. Wilson, secre-
tary, on or before September 10 what
you can do and be will give you full
instructions regarding shipping. Every
box must be marked plainly with the
growers name and address and the
name of the variety.
'No better work for horticulture
than this can be done. The success of
this part of your county exhibit will
depend upon your efforts. "
Mr.. Wehrung in his letter states
that If any grower or section wishes
to donate apples this fall this individ
ual or section will be given a certain
place in the eXibit by the commission
ers and this exhibit will be labeled
with the growers name and locality,
and the space reserved as long as the
donated fruit holds out. They will
also pay the freight on all fruit dona
ted and place the same in cold storage
until the opening of the fair without
any further expense. ="

Prices of Apples.

All kinds of rumors we're afioat
about prices for apples. 1t Is said
that many dealers will refuse to han
die apples this season except on COM
mission. They will likely not be over
buIdened with business
What about prices? "e confess we
would not say as to prices-that's out
of our line. But we can safely say that
prices ought to be 90 better basis
than they were last year. Prices we're
too high considering the character
of stuff packed. And then there was
a great hullaballoo in the papers last
tall about high priced apples, until
the consumers became frightened and
satisfied their appetites with some
other fruit than apples. The demand
for apples was shut of at the begin.
ming of the season.
Let's not get things on an inflated
basis this year. Don't pack the
cheap, shoddy stuff. Put up only
good apples and II they can Ee
brought to the consumer at anything
like fair prices the demand will equal
the supply.
But it's quite awhile until picking
time-and the situation may change
before then. Western FruitgTower.

Puts Straw on Dusty Roads.

Farmers are selling to Walla Walla
county straw at 81 per load for use on
the dusty roads. Supervisor Stock
dale is having hundreds of loads Of
the harvest chat spread upon the
highways in his district. which is
easily the most dusty section of the
county where grain is grown. For
the straw he issues orders on the
county road fund and hires teams to
draw t from the fields to the reads
and men scatter about 40 loads to the
mile. In this way the highways are
put in good condition for the heavy
hauling of grain and farmers are saw
ed a great deal of wear and tear on
their stock and wagons.
Until this year thers has been but
little trouble to get all the straw
needed for tho hauling, but farmers
seem to be wise and demand the usual
price from he county as from an in.
dividual. In some places straw has
to be hauled quite distance, because
farmers owning adjoining land have
already sold their entire surplus OF
straw to livery stables in the city.

To Extend the Water Works.

On Monday Robert 3. Orr of the
Engineering Co. of Kansas City was
here in consultation with our mayor
and councilmen on the subject of en-
larging and extending our water works
plant. He has been employed to draw
plans for a system to be run by cleo
tricity, by crude oil, by gasoline and
the extention of the mains where neces-
sary.
The proposition will then be submit
ted to the people, whether they will
vote sufficient bonds to extend and en-
large it as proposed. With the in
crease of power and larger engines the
mains can be extended to all parts of
the city, as well as give the patrons
more hours for it's use.
He thoroughly examined the plant
as now, engines. pumps and wells and
believes it can be easily done.
The citizens of Hays should stand
together on this question and vote the
bonds. The present supply of water
is altogether inadequate and in case
of large fire would be altogether in
sufficient. A fractional cent more in
taxation is drop in the bucket COM
pared to the loss which would be sus-
taiued in large fire.
Let US vote the bonds to extend the
system.

The Mcpherson College baseball team
played the Normal here on Thursday
and Friday. The Mcpherson boys are
a nice bunch but they do not play classi-
cal enough ball for the teachers. Thurs
days game resulted in victory for the
Normal IL to a.
The game started promptly at four
O'Clock with Bear in the box for the
Normal and Deardorf doing the twirl-
ing for the visitors. From the first in
ming the game was slow and rather
uninteresting. A couple sensational
plays by Mcpherson were roundly cheer
ed by the Normal rooters. Up till the
last half of the third inning the score
stood to 0 in favor of the visitors, but
IN the last half of that inning Deardorf
allowed several safe hits, which, coup
led with three or four errors, allowed
the Normal five runs. From this time
on the game was a one-sided contest,
with many errors to the credit of the
visitors. Bear struck out haIf-dozen
men but allowed six safe hits, one two
two-bagger and one three-bagger; he
was not in his usual form. Deardorf
the Mcpherson slab artist, pitched very
inferior ball and he was poorly support
ed by the infield.
The following is the score by innings:
Mcpherson 1000 0011-4
Normal 005 51O22 XII
Batteries: Normal, Bear and Bice;
Mcpherson, Dearborn and Withers
Strike-outs by Bear 6, by Deardorf 2.
Safe hits: off Bear 6, off Dearborn 8.
Bases on balls: off Bear 0, off Deardorf
4. Three-base hits: Johns; two-base
hits; Hoffman and Clyde Bice. Errors:
z, Normal 8. Umpire G. NJ
Wann.
To-day's game is now in progress and |
the visitors are looking for better luck,
but odds are against them. Attendance
was poor yesterday and unless the
crowd is better the Athletic Associa-
tion will lose money on these games.
Mcpherson has lost every game on
this trip and the boys appear rather
discouraged. They dropped two at Sa-
ina, one to Wesleyan and another to
St. Johns. They also lost a game to
the Agricultural College at Manhattan.
The Normal will play BrookviAe OH

Training in the School.

The Maxwell's Talisman says: There
is science of agriculture and horti-
culture. investigators and leaders have
called into service the several natural
sciences from geology to chemistry,
and have applied them to mans SER
vice in this fundamental field of in
dustry, until now the various contrihu-
tions are being organized into uniform
system of knowledge and practice.
While plant culture was formerly en-
pirical, its practice being passed from
father to son by home training; now, as
science, its principles are to be taught
in schools and colleges. Moreover with
the migration of the more ambitious
and studious from country to city, for
several generations, neither country
nor city parents are fitted to train boys
and girls for full success with farm
fields or village gardens in the face
of present keen competition. There
must be agricultural high schools for
country districts as we'll as commercial
and industrial high schools for cities,
and boys and girls who plan for life in
the country should choose among the
courses offered by agricultural colleges
and university schools of horticulture
even as their city cousins choose cours-
es in college and university. Further
than this every child should be taught
the principals of plant culture and
trained to apply these truths to the
growth of vegetables, fruits and flow
ers, for every home should possess a
productive garden as surely as shell
tering roof.
No plan for encouraging home gar
dening by adults or children can at
tain large success unless it includes
provision for instruction in horticulture
and supervision in garden methods.
As an ideal the public schools should
provide the instruction and the parents
direct the training. At present neith-
er school nor home is fitted for the
task in most localities.
Our State Normal has Professor of
this branch.
