cattle, hogs and sheep. The car is
in charge of w. d. Foster.
The farming implements carried
with the train will be of two classes.
i. e., those suitable for orchard Guilt
walton, spraying and general care of
the orchard; and those desirable for
dry farming, and soil tillage in gen.
eral. The latter exhibit will be of
interest to orchardists west of the
Columbia and cereal growers east
of the river alike. They are imple-
ments such as have been tried out
at the state college farm and expert
ment stations and sub-stations in
many parts of the state under a great
variety of conditions.
The orchard exhibits include dem
Onstration material for both irrigat-
ed and non-irrigated orchards. The
production of fruit under dry farm
ing methods, as well as under irri-
CATION will be treated by the lectur-
ers. Pruning implements, different
types of spray nozzles, power and
hand pumps for spraying, exhibits
showing the results of good and poor
orchard practice, and great varie-
ty of material of similar interest will
be shown on the train. Special dis
cussions will be given by Messrs.
Thornber and Briefly relative to the
pertinent station investigators con-
corning varieties for the different
sections along the line of the Great
Northern west and east of the Col
umbia river.
The farm home electric lighting
plant in charge of Mr.. B. L. Steele
is one of the novelties upon the train,
and one which has attracted wide
attention. The train is lighted at
night demonstrations by this small
plant, consisting of a little dynamo,
small gasoline engine, switchboard,

large electric lighting plant shown
in miniature. The plant can be used
to produce light, or by making the
necessary connections, to supply
power for operating various kinds
of farm machinery-chop mills,
pumps and the like.
The dairy car includes as star
feature one of the latest types of
milking machines, which is operated
at each stop to show what it will do.
Cows carried with the train are
MIXED, or, where brought TO the
train for that purpose, they will be
connected up with the mechanical
mixer.
A great variety of dairy apparatus
is shown, including separators, test
ors, dairy records, and the like. One
interesting dairy record of a Wash

through which in period of ten
years the dairyman increased the
production of his herd 1000 pounds
per cow per year.
Other exhibits are forage plants,
soil exhibits, termination tests, good
and poor seed, spray materials, in
sect pests. plant diseases, and SINH
lar material. all of which has been
arranged with the purpose of giving
instructions or suggestions which
will lead to the betterment of farm
ing conditions in the communities
through which the train passes.
The train will reach Wenatchee
Saturday, September II, at $3.50 in
the afternoon, and during two hour
stop will give all interested persons
opportunity to hear lectures, witness
the demonstrations, and ask ques-
tions upon any local problem of in

England, from Robert Stanton OF

SEPTEMBER APPLE
CROP REPORT
The Fruit Grower, of st. Jo-
seph, Gives Summary of
Fruit Crop in U. S.

The Fruit Growers crop reports
this month indicate a decline in con-
dition of apple crop. The decline is
confined to the northeastern states,
such as New York, where the drop
has been very heavy, and to the or
chards in the middle west, where
| drouth has caused some dropping and
kept the apples from growing as they
should. In the northwest the crop
| has improved somewhat but on the
whole the condition of the apple
| crop is hardly as good as at our last
report
The governments crop report
shows that in the North Atlantic
states, where apples are most extern
sively grown, the condition of apple
| crop is 81, against ten-year aver
age of 60; in the North Central
states, east of the Mississippi river.
the average condition is 28, against
a ten-year average of SO; in the
North Central states, west Of the
Mississippi river, the average condi-
ton is SO, against a ten-year average
of 40; in the South Central states
the condition is so, against ten
year-average of SIS; in the Far West
ern states the average condition is
so, against a ten-year average of II.
1t will be noted that the only Sec
ton reporting a crop better than the
| ten-year average is the Far Western.
The average for the entire country
is given at AIS, and it is significant
that the storage is greatest in the
sections which in a good year will
produce the greatest quantity of
fruit, such as New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, etc.
The government estimate is that
the 1910 crop is slightly larger than
that of 1909. The Fruit Grower 5
reports indicate that the crop is not
bit larger, except that the quality
is better, and perhaps the quantity of
good fruit is about the same as the
crop of 1909.
| Our reports this month indicate
good prices for the present season.
Some remarkably good sales have
been made, and all through the
Middle West prices are being we'll
maintained. and the market is get
| ting stronger This is perhaps &C
counted for by the great scarcity of
fruit in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin, Indiana and Ohio. These
states generally produce a lot of
fruit to supply the home markets,
even if there should be none for ex-
port; this year the crop is very
| short, and most of these states will
have to buy practically their winter
supply of fruit from outside terri
tory. Where apples are found In
these states, therefore, prices are
we'll maintained and the demand is
| strong.
| Private correspondence from all
sources indicate that better grading
and packing will be practiced this
year than last, for the apples are OF
better quality. 1t would seem, ii
this practice is general, that buyers
should be more willing to invest in
apples, knowing their supply will not
have to compete with the low-grade
| stuff dumped on the markets last
| year.

ENDS HIS
TROUBLES
IN JAIL
Accused of Forgery, F. E
Mills Takes Life in
Jail.

F. E. Mills, aged about 40, arrest
Cd last Saturday evening at Cheney
for forgery, committed suicide at
the county Jail today noon by cut
ting his throat with a pocket knife.
He bored a hole into the side Of
his neck with the knife, pierced the
jugular vein, and then gave II a rip
to make the Job effective. His death
followed few moments later.
Mills was arrested Saturday night
by Constable Abe Brown at Cheney,
where he was charged with having
passed a number of bad checks.
Some 800 blank checks were found
in his grip, and it is believed that
he carried on forgery as business.
Mills said that he was a married
man. The belief that the peniten-
tiary stared him in the face is
thought to have caused him to re-
solve on suicide as the easiest way
out of his troubles.
Mills spent several months in the
county Jail last spring, when he
was wanted for forgery at The
Dalles. Ore. He resisted extradition
and kept the matter in the courts
for months. He was finally return
ed to Oregon, but was released a
few weeks ago.
