some deep are most attractive. AMI

liked and the old navy is never taken
from the list. So numerous are the

will be a leading shade. Brown more
than any other color needs most care

will share honors with the blues partly
because they are SO often combined

WASHINGTON APPLES IN THE EAST.

Editor The Ranch: -Wenatchee and
Cashmere apples are retailing in De-
troit stores at cents each, or 80 cents
per dozen. If you desire a photograph
of fruit display to substantiate this
fact l would only be too glad to have
one taken and sent you.
1t would be a great boon to Wash
ington apple raisers to ship their fine
crops direct to some central cold stor-
age house in the East, and then deal
them out at fancy prices. Detroit is
only a few hours ride from Cleveland,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, New
York, Buffalo and other large cities.
Freight rates from here are very low.
Cold storage rates and accommoda-
tons are reasonable and extensive.
Ohio and Michigan apples are of ex'
ceedingly inferior quality; and poor
specimens of fruit raised here are as
numerous as good ones that thrive in
the state of Washington.

Editor The Ranch:-Apples are
scarce in this great state of Iowa now
adays, and the local supply is mostly
boxed apples from the West. l had
nv first experience with SpitzenDerg
the other day. The groceryman had a
box of Washington grown Sp1tzenDergs
in his window that looked mighty
good. and I started in to buy the whole
box. but he said they cost him $3,
and he would have to have more than
that. so 1 backed down and compro-
missed on buying dozen apples. When
I got them home and started to eating
on them decided wanted the whole
box anyway, but when I got down
town found that someone had beat
me to them. If there is anything finer
and more nearly fruit for the gods
than a Washington Spitzenberg 1t can
have my vote.
Fruit growers of the Spitzenberg
sections may be happy to know that
Iowa as we'll as other states have
manv wellto-do farmers who are able
to pay good prices for Spitzenbergs.

land. That's the way he wanted to
ship it back to us. How can he get
away from the facts that he offered
us 20 cents pound for the wool, and
then made us take II and Is cents?
He knew we could not afford to sue
him, as the amount was too small. He
states that we are ignorant of bust
ness methods. I plead ignorance to
such questionable business methods as
his, which he makes feeble attempt
to prove is on the square. However,
I think I can see through his graft to
the extent of $13.71 worth.
