SEEDLESS APPLE RESURRECTED
T Special to The sentinei.l

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 2.-Core1ess
as well as seedless are the apples
produced on single tree of unknown
variety in an eight-acre orchard at
Moran Prairie, five miles north of
Spokane, owned by b. X. Short. a
rancher. The largest of the fruit is
three inches in diameter, the coloring
being a yellowish green, streaked
with red. The apples have deep pink
cheeks, and the flesh is firm and of
excellent flavor. The tree is between
twelve and fifteen years old and is
growing in sub-lrrigateh soil at an
altitude OF 2,225 feet. Short does not
claim credit for developing the core
less-seedless apple, declaring il is a
freak of nature.
Seven of the new apples were
brought to the offices of the national
apple show in Spokane and quartered
in the presence of Rem H. Rice, sec
retary-manager, Professor Van Hold
erbeke, formerly state commissioner
of horticulture of Washington. and
several growers from various part S
of the Northwest, but none were able
to classify the fruit Professor w. s.

growers of the state to learn that the
railroads of Colorado have agreed to
grant free use of their lines for the
transportation of apple exhibits to
the National Apple show in January.
Local notice OF this agreement has
Just been received here.
This action on the part of the roads
will go a long way toward making
the Apple show a wonderful success.
Attention, however, is called to the
following regulation:

FUR FARMS TO PRESERVE TIMBER LANDS

Consul H d Van SAINT. OF Kingston reports
that leading advocates of the conservation Of for
ests in Canada are favoring the establishment OF
fur farms a means of utilizing the large tracts
of timber lands in the north. The consul con-
tnues
las game preserves. It is claimed that the north
regions and forests or Canada furnish the
finest fur bearing animals in the world the greater
portion of these pelts going to American and
Canadian cities. In a commercial sense the mill
ions of dollars that have been derived from this
source of Canadian wealth is likely 10 be cur
tailed unless some preventive is found for the
constantly increasing wanton destruction of the
forests and the many fur-bearng animals protected
therein.
I'm 1906 the value of dressed and undressed furs
exported from Canada was S2,SSO5SS, while the
total value exported for the five years from 1901
to 1865 $10569.74s The total value OF lumber
exported 1895 ST. SS9, ,97S These figures show
to what immense proportions these productions
have arrived and how necessary is their preserva-
ton.
1T Is claimed that IL properly protected the for
ests will he prolific than at present in fur
bearing animals. and after brief period OF ami
mai protection restraint S1e revenue from these
sources will be considerably increased The pro-
lection of the forests means the increase pres
ervation of the fur trade Great fur farms could
be aside reservations. where the indis-
eriminate slaughter Of animals could be In
measure prevented. and il these farms were opened
alternately after period OF rest or restriction the
question OF fur supply would take care OF Itself.
