patriotic march was played, all
present seated themselves, and tried
to do full justice to the spread,
although one would need rubber"

At the close of the meal, while all
were still seated, our Pres. Mrs.

ciously complimented our growers upon
the excellence of their fruit, the royal
household having been supplied
through Louis Solomon. This stamp of
approval resulted in greater activity
among the buyers abroad, and there is
every reason to believe that the coming
season will see greater demand than
ever before for apples grown in the
Wenatchee, Columbia river and Yak
ina valleys as well as other districts
in the United States and Canada,
where high grade fruit is produced. -
Growers in the valleys in eastern
and central Washington are gratified
over Mr.. Edmunds' missionary Work
in England, and they expect to send
large consignments of winter apples
abroad next fall. They believe that
high grade markets can be developed
in England, Scotland, Germany and
France, and they are going to give it
a thorough trial. The first shipment
will be made in November by way of
New York and Boston.

European Market Demands Fruit Be
Well Packed

William Edmunds of Orondo, Wash,
a scientific orchardist and one of the
founders of the Wenatchee Fruit Grow
ers' association, Who has just returned
from the British Isles, where, in Co
vent Garden, London, he exhibited four
cars OF Washington apples, brought
back with him information of the re-
quirements of European markets and
some ideas regarding the packing of
fruit which are of interest to growers
in the United States and Canada,
whether they supply the export trade
or confne their operations to American
markets.
Perfection is the ideal toward
which every grower should strive"
Mr.. Edmunds said, "and after the
fruit has been picked it should be
packed with regard to uniformity, ex-
ercising every care in placing only the
highest grade in the boxes. This will
make the apple offerings distinctive
and recognizable wherever exhibited,
whether for sale or in competition.
81 would also urge the use of heav-
Ter boxes and packages. Europe is
ready to buy the cream of American
apples and is willing to pay the high
est market price for them. By supply
ing this increasing demand with the
best the orchards afford, believe a
profitable trade can be built up.
American apples are not uncom-
mon on the London market, but the
foremost buyers assured me that the
exhibit our growers made in Covent
garden so far exceeded all other offer
ings in color, flavor, size and uniform

TROUBLE SETTLED between
VENEZUELA And u. S.
Special Commissioner w. B. Buchanan.
and President Gomez Given Great
Praise for Settlement of Cases of
Long Standing-Great Asphalt Beds
One of the Bones of Contention.

Caracas, Venezuela.-The signing of
the protocol Saturday settling the differ
ence between the United States and
Venezuela has caused general rejoicing
in administrative circles and both Pres
ident Gomez and United States Special
Commissioner w. b. Buchanan are being
given unstinted praise. While it has
never been feared that an Impasse would
result, there was apprehension that
Venezuela would ultimately be forced
to settlement that would spread dis
satisfaction by reason of the indignity
that it would offer Venezuelan pride.
The claim most difficult of settlement
was that of the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt company, which had been.
deprived of the right to take asphalt
from Lake Felicidad and was fined S.
100000 for its alleged instigation and
support of the Matos revolution.
The civil court Of first instance. in
August, 1907, found the company guilty
OF completely in the revelation and
taxed the cost Of putting down the re-
bellion, 100000, against the company.

Woman Champion Cotton Picker.

The worlds record for cotton pick
ing is held by Miss Margaret Mont
gomery of saltwater, Okla. In four
hour contest she picked $50 pounds, or
81 IL pounds an hour. She defeated
crack cotton pickers from all parts of
the cotton-growing belt, averaging
about five pounds an hour more than
her nearest competitor. Miss Mont
gomery is the daughter of wealthy
cotton grower and she picks only for
her own amusement. There were men
and women in the field against her.
For three hours she easily led every
body, then she began to lag from
weary arms and cramps in the fin
gers. She lacked the training of the
others, but showed her pluck by hold
ing on and retaining her lead until the

surface have been exposed to the
flame. Cut off the head. and draw
out the pin feathers. using a small
pointed knife. Cut through the skin
around the leg one and one half inches
below the leg joint, care being taken
not to cut the tendons; place The leg
at this cut over edge OF board, press

the foot in the right hand, holding the
bird firmly in the left hand, and pull
off the foot, and with it the tendons
In old birds the tendons must be
drawn separately, which Is best ac.
complished by using steel skewer.
Make an incision through the skin be-
low the breast bone just large enough
to admit the hand. With the hand
remove the entrails, gi2zard, heart
and liver. The gall bladder, lying on
the under surface of the right lobe of
the liver, is removed with the liver,
and great care must be taken that 1t
