is evidenced by the fact that Father
Knickerbocker got away with about
5000 miles of this fruit last year, or
enough to reach nearly twice across
the continent.
OF course New Workers did not ac-
tually consume all these millions Of
apples, part of them being shipped to
other apple-hungry districts, but New
Workers nevertheless managed to get
a surprisingly large proportion. Near.
ly 1000 carloads of this fruit were re.
ceived during the year, some coming
from what is known as the upstate
district and others from points as far
distant as the Pacific coast
Ten thousand carloads represent
something like twelve miles of cars
and locomotives on the hauling end.

fruit Is packed. figuring 700 to the car.

Kansas City, Mo.-The farmers who
are building the electric railroad from

adopted a Jersey COW as their trade
mark and have named their road the
Jersey Cow route. The COW appears
on all the stationery of the company
and will be spread rampant in yellow
paint on all the rolling stock of the
company.
1t is expected that the company's
line will be in operation by the lat

an electric line over the route, but

moters never could get the farmers
interested. Then ]. l. Woodhll, a re-
tired railroad man who owns biz
