Idaho May Lead in Apples.

Idaho has 10000 acres in orchards,
chiefly in winter apples, or nearly
double the amount in the state three
years ago, and half a million of trees
were planted this year. In the con-
dition of the apple crop for the year,
Idaho stands second in all the states
of the Union, Maine being at the head,
with 90 per cent of a full crop. Idaho s
percentage is IS. Aside from Cali
fornia, with rs per cent, no other state
has a percentage of 20. Oregon is
only Al and Washington is SO, says
Lewiston Teller
ldano is destined to take high rank
in the apple production of the country
in the future, for there is a large area
in this state suited to apple orchard
ing. This is notably true of the irri-
gated districts of which Idaho will
have the largest area. The state also
has much non-irrigated land suited to
apple production.
The cost of growing and placing on
the market a box of apples, using only
the best methods and the highest
standard of pack has been estimated
at 53.1 cents in some of the Inland EN-
pire fruit regions, and this figure would
probably be approximately correct in
Idaho as a whole. In New York, the
average cost of producing and market
ing a barrel of apples, which contains
probably three boxes of apples, has
been estimated at $1.10, but the price
received for the barrel of New York
apples would probably be less than that
of a box of northwestern apples in the
same market. Crop failures in eastern
nv Il dc oh,
the waste in the ordinary crop there
is usually very great. When large
crop is grown, the returns are often
little more than when an ordinary crop
is produced, owing to unsystematic
methods of handling and marketing.
Idaho, with other portions of the
northwest, is not only favored by soil
and climatic conditions suited for apple
orcharding, but it shares in the ad-
vanced methods which have been gen
orally adopted here for fruit produc-
ton and marketing. Idaho stands high
in its legal regulations for the inspec-
tion of nursery stock and of orchards
and fruits in market. The state seeks
to guard against the diseases and in
sect pests that have ruined many of
the orchard districts in other states. 1t
would put the orchard industry here
upon safe, secure, permanent and
profitable basis.
This is the day of the commercial
orchard on a sound commercial basis.
1t is estimated that in the near future
100000 carloads of apples will be mar
keted annually from the four states of
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana. These states will afford the lead
ing supply of choice grades of apples,
and Idaho has the prospect of stand
ing at the head in both quality and
quantity of production.

goats, 249, and horses and mules, So.
The cattle market opened very
strong the first of the week, but with
an unusually large run on Friday it
dropped off 10 to 15c. Top of steer
market is considered steady at $3.50 to
$3.50 for choice beeves. Movement of
cattle from Montana has been veay
heavy. The feature of the week s trade
was the sale of 46S well finished steers
at $3.50, when the market was at its
best. Butcher cattle also held I'M
usually well the first half of the week.
Spayed heifers were quoted at $500
and choice cows $4.65 to $4.75. The
market late Saturday was fully 15c
under this price. There is a good de-
mand for light calves at $3.50.
The hog market has slumped a half
dollar within the last six days. Bearish
reports from Missouri river markets and
the receipt of big shipment of Ne
braska stock are responsible for the
slump. $500 is considered a good top.
Saturday market is steady to weaker,
with the demand easing up. Receipts
have been large from coast points.
The sheep trade was the strongest
feature of the week Is market, and if
anything is from nickel to dime
stronger. Choice yearlings, coarse

The Temperance Movement and
the w. C. IT. u.

The evils Of alcoholic liquor drinking
date back almost to the beginning Of
time. For ages men, women and chill
dren have suffered from these evils;
have endured poverty and hunger, dis
tress and heartaches, and woes innu-
merable.T hey have endured them with
the stoicism Of despair, because there
seemed to be no remedy. 1t seemed to
be one Of the ills that flesh is heir to
and from which there was no escape,
like poverty and disease and death.
But almost a century and a half ago a
protest against the evils Of liquor drink
ing and the liquor business, with a sug-
gested means of escape from them,
found voice from the lips and pen OF a
consecrated physician and the light Of
a new hope sprang into the hearts Of
suffering men and women, for when
misery finds voice there is a beginning
OF better things The war against the
liquor business began. It was waged
0 or less fitfuily for nearly 4 CEN
fury. Many experiments were tried and
many mistakes were made in those early
days. The first stand was made, not
for total abstinence, but against drunk
enness; not against the business itself,
but against excessive drinking. Liquor
was a good thing il used in modera
ton, z they said.
About the middle Of the last century
the sentiment against the business had
crystaIIized into laws prohibiting the
liquor traffic in about a dozen States,
and the business seemed to be IN a fair
way to be outlawed throughout the ma
Then the wal cloud arose, and
for four years our country was a battle
ground on which brother fought against
in one Of the bloodiest wars
known in history, and for a time the
Sight against king alcohol was relegated
o the background.
The biggest mistake Of all was made
the dark days Of the Civil War,
when the liquor business, as 3 war
measure, was licensed and taxed. This
licensing. and the revenue derived there
rom, has been the greatest obstacle to
,e overcome in fighting the business
