BIG APPLE CROP
Western Growers Will Harvest Larg-
est Crop Ever known. Fruit of
Good Quality

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 23.-Apple-
growers in the Pacific or box group,
taking in Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
Montana, California, Utah and Col
orado, will this year have the largest
crop ever harvested in these states
and the fruit promises to be of eX-
ceptionally good quality, according
to a report on the condition of the
yield in the United States and Canada
received by w. d. Finley, assistant
secretary in Spokane of the fifth Dry
Farming Congress, from c. p. Roth
we'll, secretary of the International
Shippers Association. The report says
in part:
The Pacific group shows decline
but one important state-Colorado
There are heavy increases in the less
Important states of Idaho and Utah.
The important state of California
shows a moderate increase of / 5 per
cent, and for the whole group an in
u SdSG VI oO pei CSuI OfCI d year dSO
is promised"
The output of Washington and Ida
no will be 200 per cent better than in
1903, Mr.. Rothwell says, while Ore
CONS crop will be about 175 per cent
ahead of last year. Montana and New
Mexico are 10 per cent under a year
ago; Utah 100 per cent better; Cal
ifornia 5 per cent better, and Colora-
do 80 per cent less that in 1909.
In accordance with the practice of
our association for several years, -
Mr.. Rothwell explains, I'VE make last
years crop in each state the basis
| for this years estimate, increasing or
diminishing the percentage as the
crop is CORRESPONDENCE lighter or
| heavier. For illustrations: If a given
state is rated at 80 per cent, it means
the crop this year is equal to four
fifths of the crop of year ago, or il
given at 200 per cent, the crop in
such state is just twice as large as
a year ago.
Appended is the crop estimate,
with percentage of yield as cOmpar-
ed with 1909:

much better quality than a year ago.
as does all the southern group, while
the Pacific group promises exception
ally good quality for the entire group
had the heaviest crop ever harvested.
The middle west, or Ben Davis
group, ranges from poor to good
quality, with considerable portion
OF 1t Of fair quality. Illinois and Iowa
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and In
dIana have substantial increases.
The central group, which is the
largest producing group, shows in
creases in Ohio, Delaware and New
Jersey over last year; Pennsylvania
ana Michigan show considerable de-
cline, with increases not being suf-
ticient to offset the shortage, and this
group shows a decline from last year
of five to ten per cent.
The New England group shows
an increase in the entire section, ex-
cept the unimportant state of Rhode
Island, and for the whole group the
entire crop this year promises to be
above 40 per cent in excess of last
year.
In the southern group, the impor-
tant state of Virginia shows a decid-
ed increase, with considerable in
crease in West Virginia and Ken
lucky Maryland alone showing a
decrease in this group. This group
shows an increase of fully fifty per
cent over year ago
Canada, not including the pro-
vince of Nova Scotia, shows a decline
OF 80 per cent over a year ago, ear
ly varieties promising better than
winter varieties. The Nova Scotia dis
trict promised a good crop until re-
Gently, but very heavy drop follow
ed shortly after setting time, and the
present prospects are for a light
crop, poor quality and not to exceed
40 per cent of a year ago in quail
ity"
Mr.. Rothwell closed his report
with these words:
IF present prospects are maintain
ed until harvest time our country
will have plenty of apples, all of bet
ter than the average quality,
which should have a good outlet at
moderate prices to the consuming
public

Grade Your Seed Wheat

The Kansas Experiment station
has for a number of years conducted
experiments for the purpose of de-
termining the difference in the yield
of graded and ungraded wheat, and
finds that the average is four bush
els per acre in favor of the graded.
What do we mean by grading?
Blowing out all the light grain and
sieving out all the small grains. If
the farmer takes two bushels of
wheat, worth say two dollars, sleeves
out the best and plants that the ex-
perience of the Kansas station in
dicates that it will make him four
more bushels of wheat per acre,
worth on the farm from three to
three and half dollars, and he will
still have three pecks to the acre to
sell to the miller or grind into flour
or to give his wife to feed to the
chickens. Can you conceive of any
other way that you can make more
money in the same way than by grad
ing your seed wheat? -Wallace's

The cart had been found in back of Vaughn's foundry, but nothing had been seen of the big boy all day, al- though the little fellow had been seen going home. The facts were reported to Chief Murphy and he had the sinall boy brought to police headquarters. where he was questioned about the older one. The little fellow said that he had been fishing off the wharf early in the morning and fell overheard. The last he saw of him was when he struck the water and went out of sight. He went down and never appeared again, was the way the youngster told it. This was about o'clock when these statements were secured ard the chief had Policemen Henderson and Irish get grappling irons and make a search for the body, but without result They rowed about the wharf for three hours and then Policeman Irish gave way to David Handelman who rowed about as Policeman Henderson worked the hooks. but no body was found. al-

though about everything else was brought to the surface. The small boy was on the wharf during the after noon crying because of the drowning of the big boy. He had not told anyone of the affair until questioned by the police.
 One of the boys employed at Powers Bros. stated that he saw Pfetro about nine or nine thirty but when some oth- CT boys fished a blue cap out of the river about 4.30, there seemed to be more certainty that the boy was in the river Pietro's father arrived about that time and declared that the caI did not belong to Pietro. which fur their complicated the matter.
 1t was cleared up, however. when the boy was seen to come down Rose alley about 6.30 o'clock, eager to find ou. what the crowd was gathered there for. He relieved the crowd considera- bly when he announced that he was not drowned but had been on a picnic all day instead of being in the mud C. the Shetucket river, bottom. He hat gone with the Salvation Army to thei picnic at Ocean beach, where he hss spent a delightful day. carefree ane happy.
 How the little fellow came to tel such a story is not known. except tha the big boy may have fooled him II some way in order to skip him and g on the picnic. The affair caused nuc excitement and some blistered hand and aching backs for the policemen.
 It is needless to say that the famil. of Pfetro was greatly relieved whel he appeared as if from the dead.
