Commercial Fruit Problems
{: 81 Z: q {: Is Z: Il II ii Fl &: Z. Fl 81 e

To maintain the reputation which
the fruit growers of the Pacific north
west have already acquired in the
eastern and European markets is one
OF the problems which deserves seri-
Gus consideration at this time. AS the
fruit shipping points increase in num-
bers we are apt to have considerable
variation in style of grade and pack.
We have the quality, are commanding
satisfactory prices, and we must
maintain our reputation for it's value

lied standpoint.
Let us adopt rules fixing high stand
ards of grade, then positively main
tain these standards by system of
| inspection based on cooperative efforts
of the state and shipping associations.
And this leads to the next and very
! important problem of cooperation.
The Washington Horticultural law
provides that the commissioner of
horticulture shall cooperate with dis
trict horticultural inspectors in "the
instruction of horticulturists." Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 is spent in
Washington each year largely for the
protection of the fruit industries, but
some of it "shalr' also be available for
cooperative efforts and instruction.
The Washington Horticultural asso-
citation should appoint a committee for
the specific purpose of joining with
the commissioner of horticulture to

give instruction in grading and pack

! a shipping association in the commu-
/ ity concerned. In most fruit shipping
districts the inspectors will have time
from other duties to devote to this
phase of horticultural work. This
committee on grading and packing
rules should seek to perfect plans
! whereby the law Is SO Trained II1dC the
state will cooperate more specifically
with fruit shipping associations than
the present law prescribes, before the
next meeting Of the legislature, that
the grading and packing of fruit may
conform to the rules adopted and that
the priceless reputation already gained
may be maintained without regard to
the district from which the fruit is
shipped. Packing schools started in the
various communities are highly COM
mendable and the state cooperating
will make more effectual this part of
the work at shipping time

DECISION OF JURY GLEE-

SHERIFF PLACES DOUBLE GUARD
OVER LOGAN FEARING At
TEMPT AT DELIVERY.

SPOKANE, Jan. 20-"Guilty of
murder in the first degree" This is
the verdict of the jury at Colville,
Wash, in the case of James ?. Logan,
alias, Frederick Jahns, accused of
numbering Mrs. Angus Janson. his
housekeeper on the night of October
% last, and with cremating the body.
The case was given to the jury this
afternoon with instructions from the
court and an address by the prose-
cutting attorney. Counsel for Logan
did not address the jury. AS Logan
heard the verdict read by the clerk
he fell mechanically into his seat, eye
ing the jurors closely. Then suddenly
a smile passed over his face. On be-
ing taken back to Jail Logan rushed
upstairs for word with George Hill
ton, his nephew, who was also ar
rested in connection with the crime.
In reply to Hilton, Logan said:
1T was murder in the first degree
AS Logan entered the steel tank,
other prisoners sang out: What is
it, old MANI" and again he returned
the answer: Murder in the first de-
gree" After the Jail doors clanked
securely behind Logan, the jailer
again walked around to the outside
cell door and asked:
rs everything all right?''
The prisoner answered cheerfully:
Don't this look it?' and the Off
GERS were amazed to see him trying
a jig with success. Sheriff Graham
placed a double guard over Logar's
cell and will continue the guard til
Logan is taken away. 1t is the sher-
| ifs belief that the prisoner has dan

raw nuts are, with many human crea-
that parents forbid children to indulge
freely in them, and doctors cut them
out from dietaries. Just as some of us
are poisoned by fish when others eating
of the selfsame dish are unframed; and
apples, which are to one the staff of
life and assurance of longevity, are alb
solutely indigestible to other members
of the family. | contend, however, that
nuts, composed as they are largely of
oils, are more likely to disagree with
delicate stomachs than meat, fish or
eggs, for which they are offered as a
substitute.
Mothers will bear me witness that,
as one wrote to us awhile ago, peanuts,
hickory nuts and the coarser oleaginous
Brazil nut are provocative of intestinal
worms (ascarides). Likewise, that some
people cannot eat raw nuts for few
successive days without paying the
penalty of the rich diet in the appear
