FRUIT GROWERS ACT.
Dayton Commercial Club Backs Presi-
> dent j. L. Dumas.

Dayton, Wash.-Action has been
commenced by the Dayton Commercial
club to offset damage done the fruit
growers of the northwest by the re-
cent publication and circulation of
articles against President J. L. Dumas
of the Washington Horticultural So
ciety, who is leading fruit growers in
their fight ON the Porter and Lefean
bills, which propose to change the size
of the standard apple box, and thus
destroy the commercial pack of the In
land Empire apple growers. These ar
ticles, say the Dayton commercial or
CARNATIONS, are thrusts made by east
ern fruit commission men who are OPP
posing the northwest growers, believ-
ing that their own interests will be
furthered if the Lafean bill passes.

EOssAnAAtthes OF Our Farm Lands,
From the standpoint of the most re-
liable and recent investigations ana

will not only furnish food and cloth.
Ing for an Immensely greater popula-
ton for ages, but will supply fuel and
light and power when coal and petro.
leum shall have been exhausted But
we must look to better methods OF SOIL
usage for the alternative OF bringing
under cultivation unused and aban-
doned swampy conditions. although
adding vast total to our cultivablO
fields, will not always suffice to meet
the growing demand. Already many
sections OF congested population are
calling upon outside sources for food.
and many of the large cities at times
actually suffer from vegetable famines.
Such shortages are due to more or
less local and abnormal conditions, but
might become general and permanent
unless wise foresight should make pro
vision for feeding our rapidly increas-
ing population.
The producing possibility OF our cul4
tivable lands becomes almost incon-
ceivable to the mind when we consid-
er that only small proportion OF the
land nominally in farms is actually
under cultivation, and that our acreage
yields are ridiculously low in compar-
ison with those OF highly developed
agricultural countries like Germany,
France and England. Notwithstanding
that our soils are naturally as produc-
tive. says the American Review OF Re.
