NOW WANTS 1T BACK.

The following we clip from recent
issue of the Port Huron Daily Times
After watching and waiting for near
ly sixteen years to catch the thief who
stole his badger trap, valued at two
dollars, from the Moore cemetery in
Brockway township, Robert Lewis, a
farmer living three miles southwest of
Yale, has at last made complaint
against John Shannon, another farmer
of the same place.
The trap was set in the cemetery by
Lewis to catch badger, but when he
went to look for it neither badger or
trap was to be found and after waiting
all these years the complaint has been
made. Shannon claims that the trap
is now in possession of John Martin
who now resides in Onaway, Mich"

Fruit. and Wheat.

That fruit rather than wheat will
some day be the chief product of the
northwestern states Is the opinion OF
Clarence f.. Edwards, who had an al
tiole on especial Crops of the North.
west" iu the last issue of the Review
OF Reviews. In the course OF his
paper MIR. Edwards had the follow
ing:
"ln the district comprised In the
territory where Washington, Idaho
Montana and Oregon join, taking In
l5O, 600 square miles, the wheat crop
for 1908 was valued at $40, 900, 900, and
the fruit from the same district was
estimated at SIG, 900. 1t is pre-.
dicted that wheat production In this
vast territory will decline from this
time on while fruit production will
increase until 1t overshadows cereals.
'What irrigation and fruit have
done for the Great State of California
they are doing for the Northwest,
this being evidenced by the great
rapidity Of settlement noted In Ore
gon and Washington, where the popu,
lation has more than doubled In the
last eight years. With the increase
In population, comes necessarily, not
only decrease in the wheat area,
but also an increase In home con.
sumption, thus lessening the supply
furnished the outside world from the
surplus.
"These are the conditions to be
found today in the empire lying on
the estern coast of the United State
from British Columbia to Mexico.
These conditions are changing what
each passing year, aud the day is not
far distant when all the grain raised
in all that vast territory will be con,
sumed at home and the world will be
called upon to supply deficiency"
The statement thaS the day will
come when all the wheat of the west
will be consumed at home sounds
unreasonable. Howevar it must he
considered that as the population OF
the west increases, and it will Increase
greatly in the coming years, the con
suming capacity will be made greater
while the production Of wheat will be
diminished.
In his statement that the fruit out
put of the north vest will exceed the
grain output the writer is undoubted
ly correct. When the various irriga.
tion projects, governmental and pri.
vate, are fully developed the north,
west VIII produce tar more than
A5, 900, 600 worth OF fruit annually.

Values of Fruit Lands.

A Hood River fruit grower was
offered s25, 600 for his nine acre apple
orchard, of which 31a acres are In
bearing, the remainder planted to
young trees, principally Newtowns.
The fer was made after the discov-
cry that the owner last year received
"a, 200 from the bearing trees.
In the Wenatchee WASH. district
five acres of bearing orchard we're sold
for sl2,500 Regarding this latter
sale the Spokesman Review comments
editorially as follows:
Transfers of this character have
led to Misrepresentation In the minds
of many regarding values of fruit
lands. The fact sticks In the public
mind that five acres OF land have
teen sold at s25p0 an acre, and when
that price is quoted to eastern people
or newcomers they are naturally
amazed and some. of them question
the soundness OF such investments.
"Ihe truth Is that a large part of
these values is covered by improve
ments, water rights, and close 10
location. 1t takes lot of lator,
intelligence, knowledge and money to
bring an orchard on to complete
bearing, and these all enter into the
going value of producing orchard.
Usually, too, the transfer of i'm
proved 5, 10 or 20 acre tracts carries
buildings worth several thousand
dollars, implements, spraying outfits
and numerous incidental articles that
go with productive orchard.
"When all these facts are consid-
eied and 1t Is taken into consider
alton that productive orchards at
going values pay handsome profits
on the investment 1t is seen that
what at first glimpse might appear to
be extravagant values are in fact
reasonable, and 1t is only here and
there that an occasional owner can be
induced to part with his holdings."

The The futility OF circular adver-
tising as compared with newspaper
advertising is proved 10 dozen diff
ferent ways, says the Finday Ohio,
Republican, but in none more forcibly
than in the fact that Findaly firms
that expend part Of their advertis-
ing money in this way are now and
have been for more than year send
ing circular announcements to per-
sons who have been dead as long as
that. A Findlay young woman whose
husband has been dead for several
years is constantly receiving advertis-
ing matter addressed to him, much
mail of this description bearing a
two cent stamp. People who can read
at all read the newspapers IL they
cannot read they are not likely to be
valuable customers. The wise adver-
tiser spends his money where it will
do him the most good. He puts very
little of 1t into circular. letters, which
annoy the housewife and are in about
six cases out of ten consigned with
out reading to the waste paper basket.
Newspapers are read. The advertis.
ers In reputable newspapers tells the
reader what he (or, to be exact, shel
wants In the shops, and she reads
carefully by the information she re-
ceives. So does the merchant.
