Advice to Western Washington
Fruit Growers.

e. Il. Francis, Shelton, WASH,
under date of November II, writes:
81 do not know whether you will
consider the following matter in your
line or can consistently answer
through The Ranch or otherwise. But
reposing more than ordinary conf
dence in your opinion aud sense of
justice, l shall ask your opinion in
regard to the situation described be-
low and if you think it unwise to
answer through the paper, or too
burdensome to answer by letter, do
not do so, for know one in your
position must be bothered with many
troublesome ques tions.
81 have nearly five acres in poultry
yards most of which tract is set to
apple trees, about half of which are
bearing. Owing to market condi-
tions, the trees have been neglected,
but in spite of this fact and the un-
usually dry season, l have gathered
about 14O boxes of marketable apples
this fall and about the same amount

We Like Your
Money
But Your Good
Will More

Our policy has always been and
always will be to so treat our Gus
tomerc that they are loyal friends.
We'd rather have a mans good
will without his money than to have
his money at the expense of his
friendship. We want both your
money and your good will, however,
and are gratified to know that we
have thousands of we'll pleased GUS
toners all over the Northwest.
We spare no pains nor expense to
grow and deliver to our customers
the best trees that skill, experience
and favorable location can produce
and we stand back of our stock.
We are nurserymen. That's our
business. With the brains, energy
and capital we employ, we could
make twice the money in the Or
chard business that we are now
making, but if we can sell good
trees to good orchardists who make
good money and can make a fair
profit ourselves, we will not COM
plain.
We want your business. If our
salesman fails to see you, drop us a
line.

able to sell only 10 boxes in Shelton.
| Now if these conditions prevail in
the future as they have in the past, |
cannot afford to spray and give the
other necessary care to my orchard
to make it yield good crops of fruit.
BY giving my trees proper care am
con tident that within d few years they
would be producing thousand boxes
of good apples and even at so cents a
box this would be considerable net
income. However in view of the
existing situation, it seems to me
that it is my plain duty to continue
| to neglect my trees, as the time and
expense devoted to them would bring
much better returns in other lines of
agriculture. And what is true in my
case is also true OF all my neighbors.
But l do not want to give it up and
believe there is a way to overcome
the trouble by united effort on our
part to improve our marketing
methods. 1t is pertaining to this
feature of the case that thought you
might offer some good advice.
81 do not know what the average re-
tail price of apples has been in Seattle
this season but | do know that while
1 can not beg off those in my cellar
at so cents per box, my relatives in
Fremont, in Seattle, have been
actually paying S1.35 per box for
cooking apples all the fall. When l
sell my apples for SO cents it repre-
sents 40 cents net to me after deduct
ing 10 cents for the cost of the box.
The consumer sixty miles away pays
me so cents and the middleman, or
perhaps a number of them, must
secure the additional 85 cents. In
other words the consumer must pay
almost three and one-haIf times as [
get net as the producer. II does not
seem just that between the producer
and the consumer we should be COM
PEELED to support so many non-pro-
ducing middlemen. We have water
TRANSPORTATION and freight to Seattle
is not much above 10 cents per box.
81 understand that there is a CO.
operative company in Seattle formed
by the Grange for the purpose of
handling the farmers produce and
delivering to the consumer by a
shorter route and by a less wastefu
method. [ would like to know some
we could derive any advantages from
it without owning stock; or If Grange
membership would be any advantage
to us in patronizing the proposed
firm. Or in case that we could not
be benefited by cooperating with
them, do you think a local cold
storage plant practicable? lfso. what
would be the approximate cost of con-
structing and operating one at

quiries with a view of laying the
matter before the Shelton Grange at
our next meeting. If you can offer
any counsel, it will be received most
gratefully"

large field. | am not competent to

duced. will not try to fully answer
all the questions raised but will

make such suggestions on some Of the
matters mentioned as seem proper
from my view point.
1t is a serious question with many
of our best informed fruit men whether
it is advisable to mix fruit growing
with miscellaneous farming. Zone
thing we'll done is better than many
things poorly done.'' No money can
be made at fruit growing unless every
detail is carefully attended to.
Neglect at any one vital point will
most likely invite failure. Pruning
must be done right. the trees and the
fruit must be sprayed at the right
time with the right material, the
fruit must be properly thinned, then
properly picked, that is, carefully
handled, properly sorted, then pack
ed in clean, nice boxes, properly lined
with paper, ia some cases, each apple
wrapped with paper, the box must be
so filled that the top must be put on
with press SO that the center will
be bulged. When the boxes are put
in the car or on a boat each box must
be laid on its side. If buyers do not
come around then let the grower visit
the best markets and arrange for the
sale of his fruit. IT friend Francis
had thousand boxes of good apples
properly put up and would come to
Seattle with some sample boxes, he
could arrange a sale that would net
him good deal above so cents per
box. Quite a coed many people who
raise some fruit while they are carry
ing on other lines OF farming, do not
know how to pack it. | have seen
shocking examples OF this here on
Western Avenue. The boxes were
dirty, the apples not sorted properly
and scarcely packed at all, but just
tumbled in, and yet they wonder that
commission men do not get better
prices for them.
The fruit growers about Shelton or
any other place where any consider
able quantity of apples are grown.
should be organized, then with their
apples properly put up they should
send man with them when they are
shipped. Let this man go ahead in
fact and hunt up the market and then
have the fruit sent as he directs. l
firmly believe that if the lao boxes of
apples mentioned by Mr.. Francis
could have been judiciously handled,
they would ha We Melted him from rs !,
to 81. 90 per box the past fall. Let
someone come to Seattle and study
the market conditions, get acquainted
with the wholesalers and fully under
stand what the markets demand and
it will pay immensely.
My judgment is that the Grange is
the proper channel through which
the farmers can work in disposing of
their fruit. | know nothing about
the organization referred to as exist
ing In Seattle. am not a member
Of the Grange, not because | have any
objections to it, for think it is a
good thing. Most of my life has been
spent, as The Ranch readers know, in
one of the professions and not on the
farm. If l we're younger and lived on
the farm, l should certainly be a

JACKSON FOR COMMISSIONER

In reading the state papers of the
last two or three weeks. we observe a
very general sentiment in favor of d
change in the present personnel of the
state railroad commission. And this
sentiment seems to be crystaliZing in
a demand for w. X jackson to become
a candidate.
Mr.. Jackson was a candidate at the
last primary, and lacked only a few
votes of winning the nomination. 1t is
generally believed that if he offers now
he will be chosen by the people for this
important office.
Whether there is just grounds for it
not. there is very general feeling
that the railroad commission has not
accomplished the objects for which it
was created, and some have even ad-
vocated its abolition, as a useless bur

sion defends itself, however. on the
ground that it has not been given suf-
ficient powers to enable it to work eff

This paper trusts that the next leg

with the railroads. but also to regulate
the excessive express rates which con-
stitute one of the greatest drawbacks

The senatorial campaign seems TO
hang fire, for some cause. 1t may be
because the people are satisfied with
the present incumbent and do not see
any necessity reason for making
change at this time. If Senator Talia-
ferrO is doing and has done his full
duty by the people of Florida and
there is no objection urged against
him by them, there is no wisdom Ia
making a change for the sake of a
change only. Neither is there wisdom
in making a change for no better rea-
son than that some other man wants
it If there is no objection to Mr.. Tai
iaferrO let US turn our attention to
something else upon the ground that
the senatorial question is already set
tied in favor of the present incumbent.
The inability to arouse interest or
awaken animation in the campaign
would seem to indicate that the people
had taken this view of it-BroOksvilIe
