OrchQrdiStS All Interested
Over Recent Research Work

Wild apples" SO called, had a pecu-
liar charm of their own, largely be-
cause of their spicy flavor. Though
barred from the tables of gentle folk
and the marts of trade. they were
sought by fully as interesting if less
exacting consumers. The blanketed
reds used them as staples of diet and
the pioneers of the backwoods and
the frontiersmen often stepped off the
trails to obtain store. The settlers
of more peaceful days found them a
pleasant surprise in zone not prolific
of fruits, and bear, raccoon and porch
pine also knew them as an excellent
preparation for the long sleep of win
ter
When the yoemen returned from
| the wars to resume the cultivation of
the soil. many farmers set themselves
to demonstrating the apple and in
| this entered the process of selection
and rejection as practiced by the fore
most pomologists and botanists of the
present day. Trees were cleared of
! the underbrush and pruned, and
scions were developed and pruned in
turn, until after much patient toll, as
long in duration as the period of retro
erosion had been. the wild fruit once
again became the apple of civilization
and with this came it's development as
commercial product, which is destin-
ed so far as the northwestern states
and provinces are concerned, to rank
with the wheat industry in a very few
years.
| Mr.. Rice shows in his compilation
OF data, bearing OH the growing of
commercial apples, that the industry
has not kept pace with the increase
in population in the United States and
Canada, from the fact that the entire
crop this year. estimated at 100000
barrels, is many barrels less than the
production in 1896. when growers in
the United States harvested 67,O7O,OOO
Twenty-seven million barrels of apples
were harvested in the United States
last year.
The explanation of this condition
lies scattered over the broad acres
in the New England, eastern and mid
dlewestern states, where apple Or
chards, never regarded as serious fea-
lures of the farms, have fallen easy
prey to neglect AID resultant pests.
In many instances he trees have been
felled to supply manufacturers with
materials, while in other localities en-
tire orchards have been chopped out
to afford room for more profitable
crops.
AS there is no substitute for the ap-
pie this would mean nothing less
than a. famine We're it not for the or
chards in the west, where an immense
territory has been dedicated to fruit
production, and with the millions of

Spokane, Wash, Oct 2.-Orchard-
lists all over the continent will be in
terested in the research work just
completed by Rem H. Rice, secretary
Inc, showing that the so-called wild
apple" or wild crab" from which
mercial varieties have sprung, were
wayward descendants of trees origin
ally imported from England and other
foreign countries in the 18th century.
Mr.. Rice has compiled data, tracing
the seeds from their habitat in foreign
soils to these shores, also the wander
ing of the trees from the path of civil
ization, reverting to savagery and
then brought to the present day per-
lection, as to color, size and flavor,
after years of toll and study. Of the
contributary factors he says that the
process of cultivation was not of suf-
ficiently long duration nor was it
complete, and, as a consequence, after
few years neglect, it was natural
for the fruit to return to its normal
state.
The appended excerpts are from
Mr. Rice's manuscript, to be present
ed to Professor H. E. Van Deman of
Washington. D. c., who will head the
board of judges at the second national
apple show in Spokane, November
Is to 20.
During revolutionary times and the
days of the Indian wars, when thous-
ands of men were called to bear arms,
many farms were permitted to run to
waste and weeds. In numerous in
stances the isolated homesteads and
even settlements were attacked and
destroyed, the occupants slain, the
buildings sacked and burned and the
stock scattered when not stolen. Thus,
a few years completed the transition
from pioneer husbandry to utter ruin
and chaos.
Frequently these settlements were
the outposts of civilization, situated as
they were on the very edge of the will
derness and, in the course of a few
years, rank weeds pushed their heads
through the rotted boards and logs.
pine, hemlock and maple growths
sprung UP in the clearings and wild
things scampered unmolested over the
ruins, which were rapidly accumulat-
ing moss and lichens. In a word, the
wilderness had stretched forth it's
hands and claimed it's own.
The young orchards, which, with
the poplars and other trees. served as
wind-brakes, were quickly surrounded
and outstripped in growth by the ma
tive woods, the tangled underbrush
choked the tender trees and the fruit
reverted to the wild and free manner
of the pigeon-berry and beechnut.

Aces planted annually will make this
the orchard country of the world.
The lands already planted in
Washington, Idaho. Oregon. Montana,
and the province OF British Columbia
should produce a crop of apples in
1915 equal to the production of the
United States in 1896" said Mr.. Rice
in discussing the outlook, and at that
there will never be an overproduction

including California, Colorado. Texas.
Nevada. Utah. Arizona. New Mexico,
Wyoming and the Dakotas, there
should be a definite increase every
season, until the apple becomes the

pie, instead of luxury as it appears
to be today in view of the underpro-
duction and high prices.

ROADS YIELD AN
IMPORTANT POINT

Washington. Sept. 1S.-After nearly
two years OF protest and objection,
the Pennsylvania railroad system has
surrendered to the government and
agreed to keep its balance-sheet sum-
mary of property and operations in the
form required by the Interstate Com
merce commission.
The significance Of this move is that
the last grave obstacle to the enforce
ment Of uniform accounting methods
among all the railroads has been re-
moved. The Pennsylvania company re-
serves a protest against the authority
of the commission, but agrees to COM
ply woth the order. This is regarded
as tantamount to a complete victory,
for Ii is doubted il the protest will
ever be pressed
II is attitude Gt determined Protest
against this order of the commission
the Pennsylvania represented all the
various railroads which were stand
ing out against the authority to en-
force a uniform plan of bookkeeping.
This authority was given to the COM
mission by section 20 Of the Hepburn
act, and for three years-ever since
hat act was passed-the bureau of
statistics and accounts of the commits
sion has been working out and per-
fecting the accounting system.
Finally, about three months ago, the
commission issued an order putting
into final effect the part of. the scheme
which will govern the accounting OF
expenditures for additions and better
mentS to property.

STEEL STRIKERS
SHOW VIOLENCE

P%ittsburg, Pa, Sept, 1S.-Violenc eand
disorder, such as characterized the last
trouble, marked the new strike today
at the plant of the Pressed Steel Car
company at Mckee's Rocks. A large
number of men were roughly handled,
street cars were compelled TO stop run
ming between McKee's Rocks and
.Schoenville, and within a few hours
after daylight everything was at a
standstilI. Several thousand strikers
were stationed at the O'Donovan bridge
and along Nichol avenue and George
street. the scene OF the fatal riot Au-

The present strike had it's inception
yesterday. when the foreign workmen
quit their positions. alleging that mon
imported during the last strike were
being retained as bosses. The striking
employees claim the company agreed to
discharge the men.
Since the settlement OF the strike a
week ago a majority OF the foreigners
have affiliated themselves with h In
dustrial Workers of the World. Lead
ers OF this organization say the men
will return 10 work when assurance is
given of fair treatment.

The first operation on Governor John

a large abscess was removed. In heal

other. This produced distractions,
which since have given Mr.. Johnson
much discomfort and have impaired his
health, The purpose OF yesterdays
operation was to release these adhes-

ing ever for such skillful surgeons as
the Drs. Mayo. The adhesions were re-
moved as rapidly as both men could

FRIENDS ANXIOUS OVER
ILLNESS OF GOVERNOR

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 17.-Although
the night was one of anxiety at the
bedside of Governor Johnson in st.
Mary's hospital at Rochester, the
morning reports received here indicate
his condition is much more hopeful.
From the bulletin issued by DR..
Mayo at 9 o'clock today. it was learned
that at 3 o'clock this morning Governor
Johnson was in a ~precarious condition.
This fact was given out at the time.
At $50 DR.. McNavin stated hat the
governors condition was much i'm
proved.
Frank A. Day. Governor Johnson's
private secretary, talked with DR.. Will
lam J. Mavo over the telephone, and
quoted DR.. Mayo as saying h a h sit
uation was decidedly more hopeful this
morning. He said the governor dis
played splendid nerve last night, that
his voice was strong and he was cheer
full.
DR.. Mayo said that Governor Johnson
at times spoke to him jokingly about
his condition.
