VALUABLE APPLE BY-PRODUCTS

By-prOducts of the apple constitute
a more important part of the industry
than is generally realized. In fact,
there are few products of the soil,
and no fruits, which may be utilized
so completely as the apple. From the
apple in it's natural state, as a food,
to the pulp and pomace, which are
used for fuel, there is practically no
waste. Even the skin and cores are
profitably utilized while the apple
proper has variety of uses.
Among the chief by-products of the
apple are apple butter, cider, jelly,
canned apples, pickles, dried apples,
preserved apples, marmalade, vinegar,
evaporated apples and the use of the
core and skin for basies. All of these
articles are in quite common use, and
add materially to the value of the
apple commercially. They are all
made with little waste, some being by
products of by-products, such as cider,
five gallons of which make one gallon
of jelly. The manufacture of all these
by-products is an industry in itself,
and all of them give employment to
thousands of men, women and chill

GRANGER BELIEVES IN DREAMS

Every great advance in civilization
is dreamed out years before. There
is a need for dreamers today, and al
though people are inclined often to
treat them as idle persons, yet without
them no advance is made in the world.
Our fOrefathers in England dreamed
for several generations of a land dlf-
ferent from that in which they lived,
where there should be religious and
political liberty.
The dream of the founders of the
American Grange was to better the
conditions under which agriculture is
carried on in this country. 1t was to
make happier the farmers wife, and
to give opportunity to the farmers boy
and girl The Grange today stands as
the foremost organization for the I'M
provement of rural conditions.
And to make it such, somebody in
it's infancy looked ahead, continually
dreaming Today the farmers chill
dren have as good education and OPP
portunities as have the children OF
the city. But there are other prob
lens for which the Grange needs
visionary dreamers.
New ideas of farm labor and great
err respect for it need to be inculcated
into the minds of the people at large.
We must instil into every healthy
child the belief that work is honorable,
whether done in the bank or on the
farm, and as honorable in one place as
in the other.
The possibilities of agriculture have
probably never fully been dreamed
out. | believe that the time will come
when a single acre of land will be
made to bear not $50 or 500 crop,
but a 81 900 crop. People today, many
public speakers among them, talk APP
prehensively of the failing food sup
ply of this the richest nation on earth,

HOLLY A MONEY-MAkER

During the recent trip of the Dem
onstration Train, Prof. Thornber spoke
of the English holly as a promising
revenue producer in the Puget Sound
district He said: The English holly
will grow in Western Washington bet
ter than in any other part of Washing
ton, and l know of no place in the
United States better adapted to this
valuable ornamental plant These
large cities of the Northwest-Seattle,
Tacoma, Spokane and Portland-will
use carloads of holly during Christmas
and New Years, and in every smaller
town there is ready market for from
so to 500 pounds of it. Now we are
shipping it from the Southern states,
especially Tennessee, when we can raise
a better quality of holly right here at
home. The winter rains of Western
Washington tend to keep the holly
bright and clean, which is highly de-
sirable.

1t is far-away bark from the
modern disc pillow to the wooden
moldboard; from the combined
harvester to the sickle and the
fail. Yet this is but the logical
evolution of the science of agricul-
tural mechanics. Science has re-
vealed and made plain in agrlcul-
ture what hitherto was hidden and
obscure. Scientific research has
permeated every avenue OF farming
and by it's exploration has demon
strated that agriculture is the
master science. Thus in modern
farming science is made the hand

makes the farmers burdens lighter

a broad and enduring foundation
for a successful husbandry.

CHILDREN LEARN AGRICULTURE

The present tendency in the schools
to teach to the child as many as pos
sible Of the things that will be useful
to him in his life's work, is no doubt
good one. Manual training for boys
and household science for girls are
looked upon with great favor. Still
better is the study of the laws of ma
ture, the observation and classification
of real things, the culture of crops,
and the mastery over any of the reall-
ties of labor. Such studies best train
the mind besides teaching much USE
full knowledge; and fortunate are the
pupils of those schools in which the
teachers have adopted these aids to
good teaching.
A great deal can be written about
the food of the plant and the form
which it must take-solution-in or
der to be assimilated by the plant
roots: but what better brief EXPOSE
ton can be found than these answers
from a pupil?
plant food must be in liquid con-
dition before it can be absorbed by
the plant. To dissolve the food there
must be a great deal of film water,
the capacity of which is increased by
fining the soil.
"There are little roots attached to
the rootlets which are so small that
the eye can not discern them. These
are called root hairs, and through
them the plant receives it's food. The
root hairs of a root system collect
the nourishment from undissolved
plant food by tending to dissolve 1t
with an acid secreted in the mem
brane of the root hair"
Zone way by which soil, or the fer
tility of the soil is exhausted is by the
continuance of one certain crop from
year to year. This is injurious be-
cause it exhausts the plant food which
is available. Since exposure to the
air oxidizes soil, one remedy for this
would be to deeply stir the soil and
expose it to the air. Oxidation
makes soil more fertile by making I'M
available food available. Rotation OF
crops also remedies this.
There are several reasons why a
rotation of crops is necessary, namely,
to prevent the exhaustion of some
plant foods more than others, to pro-
vide plenty of humus to provide bac-
terra for legumes, to keep the land in
use to distribute labor evenly through
out the year, to control weeds, to rid
the land of insects and pests, to pro-
vide for ready money, to get nitrogen
from the air and to break up the I'M
DERIVING subsoil by deep roots"

DRAGGING THE ROADS.

The General Assembly of Iowa re-
Gently passed a law requiring town
trustees to drag all main Travelled
country roads as often as may be nee
essary to keep the roads in good con-
dition For this dragging the trustees
are permitted to pay as high as Is
cents per mile. If owners of property
abutting the road wish to do this
dragging they are to be given prefer
ence in the matter of letting the con-
tract.
The law also provides that the south
half of an east and west road, and the
east half of north and south road
are not to be used for travel till dry
enough so the dirt will pack under the
horses feet penalty of from 81
to $25 is provided for the non-observ-
ance of this feature.
While the road drag has been used
to some extent in various parts of the
state in recent years, there has never
been any systematic plan adopted, so
the work has not been effective, ex-
cept in keeping the roads in good re-
pair by the use of the King drag.

LATINO ORDINANCE RELATIVE
TO ITINERANT statesmen.

William s. Smith, apple grower and
commission merchant from Missouri,
was fined $50 and costs in the village
police court at Lake Park last eve
ming for violation OF an ordinance reg
ulating intinerant statesmen. Atty, c..
n. Chaplin Of Moorhead, represented
the defendant and gave notice that
the case would be appealed, IL neces-
sary, to the highest tribunal Of the
state for Mr.. Smith is very much de-
termined to be shown"
Mr.. Smith arrived in Lake Park a
few days ago with a carload of select
ed apples. which he claimed were
grown on an orchard owned by HIM
self and he proceeded last Saturday
to sell them on the track. His atten-
ton was called to the fact that he was
violating an ordinance but he kept
on selling. He was arrested and paid
"a SIS fine and then continued his sell
ing. He was arrested again yesterday
and called for a jury trial, convicted.
and the maximum fine was imposed.
Attorney Chaplin says the constitu-
tionality OF the ordinance will be at
tackled, Not only does the local law
provide for a very heavy license fee,
but there are other burdensome regu-
lations which are alleged to be tanta-
mount to double taxation. Out Of the
case Is expected to crow an action for
false imprisonment against a rather
offlcious local officer.

How to Spoil
Friendship
FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS THIS
MAY BE BROUGHT ABOUT
5Y THE AVERAGE
WOMAN.

FRIENDSHIP is the most beautiful
thing III the world. but It can be
very easily lost
Here are some of the things that
imperil it.
First-Telling the truth. Never tell
the absolute truth on all occasions to
a friend. This sounds pretty bad, but
il is not SO bad as the results from not
going around the bush skillfully. One
need not lie. Silence is eden at
times AS "a rule, when your friend
asks you to tell her your truthful opin-
ion about something she does not want
Il at all. but only hopes you may agree
with her, Do not give opinions any
way they are unnecessary and dan.
gerous.
Second.--Lending money This Is
absolutely fatal To lend money. alas
is almost sure to make an enemy. The
borrower is terribly grateful at the
time, of course, but gratitude soon
wanes. The sum is quickly spent; then
there is the necessity for paying It
back. and that is put Off from day to
day until finally you are forced to ask
for your money. and that means the
end of pleasant relations.
Third - Having business relations
with friends. In one case out Of ten
this works, but the other nine are apt
to be tragedies. The ways OF friend
ship are peculiar to themselves: the
ways of business are exact The two
do not mix well
II your partner is in difficulties she
