His Service to Party.

Il have no hesitancy in predicting
that B. F. O'Neil win be the next
governor Of Idaho. and myself and
friends will do all in our power to Sc
cure that end. We feel that 1t was
due largely to the efforts of Mr..
O'Neil as chairman OF the republican
state committee that Idaho elected
a republican governor and remained
in the republican column two years
ago
For this. and many other good
reasons we want TO see him elected
governor, for we feel that he will
administer the affairs of the state in
a clean and businesslike manner, and
that he will add to the good name
of the state both al home and abroad,
and will be a chief executive whose
word will be as good as his bond,
and who will at all times do pre-
eisely as he promises, and always
the right thing without being tied
down by promises and pledges. "

Il said to the latter, Come across

comparisons. After they had gotten
acquainted and put their material
down side by each, neither one of
them was for Brady. and will wager
that Washington gives 1000
votes against the governor tomor-
row
The principal reason, however,
that Brady is losing strength and
O'Neil gaining it, everywhere. is the
lack of business ability on the part of
the former, and the firm belief of
everyone who knows Barney O'Neil
that he will give the state of Idaho

Ada County for O'Neil.

Ada county will give O'Neil safe
majority. as will a number of other
counties in the south, where Brady
has failed to make good as governor.
In the first place, he has not given
the business affairs of the state the
attention he should, and in the sec
ond place his political promises have
been broken and rebroken until no
one has any confidence whatever in
his statements.
That is why he has gotten himself
in such bad repute with the temper
ance forces. Down at Weiser, my
home town, few days ago a saloon
man said to me that he was in favor
of Brady because he was in sympathy
with the saloon interests. / walked
across the street and met a promin-
ent prohibitionist. and he said he
was in favor of Brady because he was
opposed to the saloons.

Secretary Of State Tells Why Wallace Man
viii Win Nomination for Governor

Il predict that B. F. o'Neil will
come to the six northern counties of
Idaho with a clear majority of the
republican votes cast in the pri-
maries next month"; was the state
ment of Secretary of State Robert
Lansdon, to an Inland Herald repre-
sentative at the Spokane hotel last
night, where he stopped on his way
to Moscow on state land matters.
Governor Brady has utterly failed
to make good in any respect, and the
party would have the fight of its life
to elect him If he should be nomi-
mated" continued Mr.. Lansden The
talk of the state officials all being
lined up for the governors nomina-
ton is a bright piece of fiction. There
are only two state officials that are
even friendly to the governor, and
one of them is not saying great deal

SELLING THE FRUIT.

Having given in a previous issue
directions how to pack apples, it
seems fitting to offer something on
the marketing of fruits of all kinds
and more especially apples. When
crop is raised and picked and packed
the responsibility is not complete-it
must be sold. Here many fail. There
are different methods for the selling
of fruits. One of the methods in
vogue in some sections, cannot COM
mend, and that is to sell the fruit on
the trees. l have never done this and
do not expect to do so. No man can
afford to buy fruit by giving lump
sum for an orchard unles he feels that
he has large margin for profit 1t
is simply out of the question for
either grower or buyer to correctly
estimate crop on the trees. Many
apples on the trees are unfit to sell.
Just how many apples may be speck
ed with worms or marked with limbs
or in some way rendered unstable,
no one can estimate. Consequently
the buyer in such case, to be on the
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-09-01

safe side, must make low estimate.
1t often happens that the estimate of
good apples is too small and the buyer
reaps rich harvest by getting one
fourth Of the salabie apples for moth
ing. | do not raise apples to give
away and would rather take this risk
myself.
Then there are a number of other
reasons why [ would not sell as rule
in the lump. [ want all the fruit that
goes out of my orchards to bear my
name as the grower and it is to my
interest to have that fruit put up
in the very best possible shape.
Should sell one Car load of apples
to some buyer, [ want him to feel so
we'll satisfied that he will call for
many more. 1t may seem boastful to
say that this often happens to our
apples. Some years ago man in
Nebraska who was recommended to me
by a merchant near by ordered car
load of our apples. We made him a
price f. o. b. at our station. Next
year he ordered again and then
again and again and it proved good
deal for US. Sometimes apples are
sold at so much box, the buyer do
ing the picking and packing himself.
never knew that method to prove
satisfactory. moments reflection
will enable any one to see that many
apples may be rejected that ought not
to be.
[ have in some cases allowed man
to come into my orchard and select a
few apples for exhibition purposes by
taking only the largest and finest. In
such cases We would charge quite a
little more than the regular price and
the man would willingly pay it.
Where the buyer picks and packs
himself he is very likely to apply this
method of selection to some extent.
Then the pickers in such cases may
not be careful in the treatment OF the
trees or even the apples themselves
for all bruised apples should be re-
jected. 1t there is any one thing that
I esteem it is to be "boss of the
ranch"
After our apples are picked and
packed to suit ourselves, then the
question will often arise whether the
grower should sell to some indivi-
dual or firm or ship them himself.
Very much depends on the individual
or firm. a good reliable individual or
firm is to be preferred to doing our
own shipping But we must be sure
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-09-01

dealing fairly With US. There is more
or less complaint now about the
middle man. and this is likely to
increase. But the firm that does an
honorable business is likely to prove
a boon to the grower. Some one may
want to inquire if there are any such
firms. l believe there are. 1t is a
very common practice to denounce
all commission men and buyers as so
many rogues. | am free to say that
[ have not found them such. That
dishonest men get into the commits
sion business only proves what is
true in all walks of life. Some men
get into the pulpit that ought to be
in the penitentiary but that man who
denounces all men in the ministry
from these exceptions proves himself
to be a fool.
We must use discretion and not
trust every man who wants to handle
our fruit. AS rule the man in the
commission business who offers to
handle our fruits at very low rates is
to be summed. | knew case where
a man advertised to handle fruit at a
two per cent commission. [ never
sent him single box of fruit for
knew he could not do business on
such percentage and that ii he really
did handle one mans fruit on that
basis, he would steal from another. L
want the man who handles my fruit
to make a fair profit and think that
ten per cent is fair profit.
Be careful about consigning or even
selling to a man who has no financial
backing. [ have known cases where
men came around buying fruit and
would ofier prices above what honor
able dealers would give. In such
cases never let the man take posses
sion of your fruit till he pays for it.
My sons and l had one experience
along this line that cost us nearly
$4,000 but | give it to our readers free.
COLD. STORAGE OF FRUIT
One of the questions that is likely
to be asked is. "would you cold
storage your apples or sell them in the
fall?' We have put app les into cold
storage and sold them the next spring
at handsome profit and have done
the same thing without any profit.
This is good rule to go by in de-
Gliding what to do in such cases. Ii
apples are very high in the fall better
sell, if they are very low it is safe to
try cold storage. Some apples do not
do we'll in cold storage. l have found
by experience that the Winesap,
Jonathan, Rome Beauty, Spitzenburg,
Newtown and Arkansas Black do we'll
in such storage. So does the Ben
Davis. Of course there are many
others that can be kept in that way
but am giving only such varieties l
have had experience with. Rhode
Island Greetings, the Hoover, Yellow
Belle Flower and Mammoth Black
Twig have not done we'll with us.
One reason why it is not advisable
to cold storage apples when they are
very high is the fact that high prices
curtail consumption. 1t may sound
very strange to come from an apple
grower but | am constrained to say
that very high prices is All injury to
