variety is grown. The best sellers
are the Winesaps, Spitzenbergs, JON
athans and Newtowns. 1t would pay
fruit growers of any section to visit
Wenatchee and learn the business
methods practised by the growers OF
that vicinity.
The production of these orchards
can hardly be believed by people IN
acquainted with Washington apples.
One man in 1907 sold from his four
acres of six year old trees $4551, net
for 1908 his net rrice from the same
trees was S48OO in 1909 from the same
trees s54OO.
One of the largest orchards OF the
valley. containing q acres produced
last wear from six to seven year old
trees. 1920 boxes of apples. An
other Is acre tract of seven year old
trees was sold for $28, 600. There are
hundreds of just such orchards in
this valley.
However, people must not get the
idea that money is made there with
out effort. Land has increased until
it is very high in price, and orchards
must have first class care. They are
SPRAYED several times during the
growing season and a man must learn
how to use water. All these things
make success. How much land there
is suitable for apple culture is still
unknown, and will not be known
until further experiments are made.
Many believe that the entire upper
Columbia valley is equally as good
apple land, and the climate must be
practically the same. There is GER
tainly a wonderful future for central
western Washington.

late in "more land" is theoretically
the most laudable ambition man can
have" Without going into a consid-
Grafton of the quality of this ambi-

what essential, moral or economic
difference is there between a farmer
exacting what tribute he can through
an exclusive privilege in farm land
and land corporation exacting what

There IS absolutely none.
The immediate defensibleness, the
inevitableness of it from the lndl-
vidual standpoint under existing con-
ditions | have already alluded to.
And the iniquity of it from the stand
point of the people as whole is be-
coming apparent enough and must
become more so. But the remedy does
not lie in merely asking the land
holder to please refrain from asking
too much for his land. The remedy

land speculation impossible. Nor
can this be accomplished by mere pro-
hibitive legislative enactment. What
the land speculator at present gets is
the increased value in location, irres-
pective of improvements, and this
value being created solely by society
belongs to society as whole and
should be taken by society. There
would be no element of confiscation
in this. It would simply be return
to rightful ownership. And the
method by which it may be done is
simple enough. a method altogether
devoid of anything iconoclastic or rev
olutionary or terrible. Shift the
burden of taxation from the hack of
enterprise, from the back Of labor and
levy all taxation upon land, upon To-
cation value. Take it off from homes
and barns and factories, off everything
personal from pianos to milking
stools, off from every improvement
and every product of labor Why
should we impose a fine upon labor,
any labor? Why should we impose
tax upon a man for building home
or for raising more COWS or for plow-
ing more ground? Collect every
penny of taxation from location
values, returning to society as a
whole, for the maintenance of its
government, what belongs to it. When
this is done land speculation will cease
because there can be no profit in it.
And when land speculation ceases

into narrower and narrower channels,
growing into unearned, unnatural and
incomprehensible fortunes, will in
Io Il INV ha
The farmer, for instance, will acquire
more wealth than he has chance of
getting by such land speculation as
he may now indulge in because he
will get the full value of all that he
produces, and that is justly his.
Labor would receive the full value of
it's product. Men would acquire only
when they produce. Opportunities
would be open and free. Wealth now
wrongfullv diverted would 60 into
more houses and better houses. more
clothing, more comforts, more lux
uries for the actual producer. Is he
not the man who should have them?
Follow out an investigation of this
subject carefully, step by step, and
you will find that labor, the actual
producer, now has returned to him
but small part of his product or its
equivalent. Why? Because it is
eaten into from beginning to end,
from the excessive tribute exacted in
the price of land at the outset, to the
last farthing that can be squeezed out
for transportation, and the last
possible penny to make up the rent
the storekeeper pays to his landlord,
and all by the same system working
upon lines which are only super
fcially different. There is no way to
be rid of this save by stopping it. And
there is no other peacable, just,
practicable, certain and equitable
way of stopping it save by the method
that have called attention to.

Wonderful Apple Region.

car load of peaches laying on the
ground, absolutely rotting away. We
are told that similar experiences have
been had with cherries and apricots,
and most efforts are now exerted to
producing the famous red apple.
In the production of apples, the
Wenatchee valley has not superior
in the world and it is doubtful il
there are dozen places in the wide
world that can equal this valley in
apple production. The Commercial
Club Of Wenatchee, took the editors
and their friends some thirty miles in
automobiles, and it was certainly a
revelation to most of them. At least
three thousand acres of bearing or
chards are directly tributary to the
city. The oldest of the orchards are
about ten years old, and the beauty
of it is that nearly all are small
tracts, from two to ten acres, each
supporting a family. The homes
show thrift and plenty. The trees at
this time of the year are a wonderful
sight. 1t would seem impossible that
more apples could possibly be fasten-
ed to the limbs, and where the trees
we're not properly thinned the limbs
extended from the top of the trees to
the ground. Much of the fruit was
laying in the sand. The growers
there expect to have about three thou
sand car loads of apples this year,
and each Car will hold from six to
seven hundred boxes. They will
probably average 81. 80 per box. From
this it will be seen that the little city
Of Wenatchee Will have magnificent
income from its product of apples.
A lesson to fruit growers can be
taught by the men at Wenatchee.
Nearly all of the growers are members
Of the association, and the strictest
rules prevail. The apples are packed
in three classes, extra fancy, fancy
and choice. In the better grades no
apple is allowed to be packed unless
it is perfect in color and form. 1t
must not contain a blemish of any
kind. Not an apple is allowed to
leave the valley that has a worm hole,
and to such perfection has spraying
and care attained that not five per
cent of the apples show blemish or
worm hole. All this care costs
money, but it has made the reputation
Of the Wenatchee valley, and is
making growers wealthy.
The principal varieties are the
Winesap, Jonathan, Newtown, Spitzen-
burg, Winter Banana, Grimes Golden
and Delicious. Scarcely any other

The editor spent three days in
Wenatchee last week, and was greatly
impressed with the wonderful posi-
bilities of the Columbia river basin.
Wenatchee is situated at the con-
fluence of the Wenatchee river with
the Columbia river. Prom there to the
British Columbia line, nearly three
hundred miles there is said to be the
same formation of country, same
climate and possibilities. This is

tute of trees, covered only with sage
brush and cactus. 1t looks as though
it is practically worthless, as very
little grass is grown naturally, but
where water can be obtained, and Is
applied, there is wonderful trans
formation.
The valley at Wenatchee is not over
one aud half to two miles wide.
On either side are high hills with
jagged rocks, and covered with sage
brush. On the top OF these hills.
however, dry farming is very success
full, but little attention has been paid
so far to anything but wheat. Wen
atchee is the proper distributing
point of a large area of country.
Wheat comes in from both sides OF
the river, and boats run up the valley
for many miles, bringing down i'm
mense cargoes of grain.
The Wenatchee valley really extends
from Leavenworth to Wenatchee,
Leavenworth being situated in the
foot hills some twenty miles west of
Wenatchee. The valley is being
transformed from practically useless
sheep pasture to one OF the most
beautiful valleys in the world. Its
principal cities are Wenatchee. Cash
mere, Malaga and Leavenworth Wen
atchee being the metropolis.
About the city of Wenatchee, three
thousand acres of land have been
placed under irrigation bitches, and
it is devoted exclusively to fruit
growing. The first settlers planted
peaches, prunes, apricots, cherries
and apples. Time and experience
have proven, however, that apples are
the most successful and best paying
crop.
Growers are disappointed with the
proceeds of their apricots, cherries
and peaches. 1t was sight to cause
sadness to see the peach orchards.

trees in the world being grubbed ur
