Letter to Fruit Growers.

Blackwater, NO., Sept. 1, 1911.-
At a meeting of the State Board Of
Horticulture held in jefferson City
this week Governor Hadley offered
strong resolution which was adopt
ed, calling upon farmers and others
who have apples to sell this year to
notify the Secretary or members Of
the Board at once and every effort
would be made to find them buyer.
The man with small crop is often at
a great disadvantage because he can
not attract large buyer while if it
were known that there were several
small crops in neighborhood reason
ably near shipping point, it would
be sure to suit some man to 60 there
and purchase all and thus be able to
load one or more cars. The large
grower is much better able to take
care Of himself in disposing of his
crop to good advantage.
Every reader Of this letter is urged
to send to me or to Sec. w. L. Howard
at Columbia, at once, the following
information: Number of acres of
each variety of apple, distance apart
trees are set and when planted. Also
give some idea of number of bushels
you will have this year. If we can
get several buyers interested in your
crop you will be apt to get the high
est market price for your fruit
Send in the information asked for
now whether you have. any fruit or
not as we will then know you have an
orchard and can help you next year.
Every season we get letters from
buyers from all over the country in
curing where orchards of apples,
peaches, strawberries, etc., may be
found. l am trying to help the peo-
pie in the following counties which
constitute my district: Bates, Benton,
Camden, Cass, Cole, Cooper, Henry,
Hickory, jackson, johnson, Lafayette,
Miller, Moniteau, Morgan; Pettis, St.
Clair, and Saline.

Pullman Runner to Tacoma.

Boyd Schlaefer, the local high
school runner, left Wednesday for
Tacoma, where he will take part in
the track meet which will be held
there on Saturday. Pullman people
are looking forward to the meet Sat
urday with a great deal of interest
as Schlaefer has not been defeated in
the mile run since he took up track
work a year ago. In the Interschol-
astic meet Saturday he broke the
state record in the mile race and
seems to have a good chance of
cleaning up at least five points
against the coast athletes. Pullman
will send but one entry to this
meet.
