DITED BY F. WALDEN.

establishing an eight-hour day for
women in public employments, except
in the preservation of perishable
fruits. The vote was "a to 5-the
bill now goes to the governor fol- his
signature. That is exactly what the
fruit growers of Washington want.
The men who would deny to the fruit
growers this privilege in order that
they may save a perishable crop will
find that the people will invite them
by their votes to stay at home.
The women who work in our pack
ing houses do not ask for an eight
hour law. For years my sons and L
have been running one of the largest
fruit ranches in the Yakima valley.
We have one hundred acres in fruit
and have sent out as high as so car
loads of fruit in a single year, and yet
we have never heard a single whimper
about the day being too long. The
packers work by the piece and not by
the day, but they work ten hours in
packing so as to even up with the
pickers who work by the day.
1t is claimed that an eight hour law
is not applicable to women who work
by the piece and is probably true,
but if women will work for ten hours
when they are their own bosses and
never complain, why should it be an
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-01
The Eight Hour Law.

The advocates of an eight-hour day
for women workers seem not to under
stand why the fruit growers ask for
an exception. A little explanation
will clear away the misunderstanding
about this matter. The fruit growers
are not tyrannical set of men who
have no regard for the rights of others
in the realm of labor. Most of these
fruit men have grown up on the farms
and know what hard labor is. Then
it must not for one moment be sup
posed that this opposition is owing to
a desire to get more work out of the
women for the same money, for ii
they work longer they get more pay.
The real key to the situation is the
fact that our crops are often perish
able fruits and many times to hold
them over for a single day would en-
tail great loss. Just this morning
there appeared in the daily Post
lntelligencer of Seattle the following
statement: Sacramento, California,
March 8.-The senate today passed
bill, by assemblyman Griffith,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-01

oppression when they work by the day
under bosses? And this they some
times do, for sometimes we employ
women as sorters blythe day and have
never heard whimper from one of
them so far as the time was concerned.
The women who have become expert
packers often make $500 per day in
packing apples for we pay five cents
per box, and it is no uncommon
thing for an experienced packer to
pack 60 boxes of apples and sometimes
more in day of ten hours. This
time of handling our perishable
fruits is:limited to few weeks at
most and never becomes oppressive.
The foolishness of trying to make the
work of handling perishable crops
conform to those in cities and
factories where women work the year
round is apparent to any one if he or
she has sense enough to go in when it
rains. l suppose that as the business
of canning salmon is confined to the
brief period when the "run' is on,
the same kind of reasoning will apply
to the emergency" in that business.

MORE ABOUT THE MCINTOSH.
While | am writing these notes, a
letter comes to me from the Hon. j.
F. Cass, of Mount Vernon, WASH,
which l am pleased to lay before our
readers. AS stated some time since
in these columns, Mr.. Cass is very
we'll informed fruit grower and once
filled very acceptably the position OF
State Horticultural Commissioners
His testimony of the Mcintosh is
valuable and | am glad to give it as
follows:
"ln your remarks as to the Mcintosh
apple in the last number of The
Ranch, it seems to me that you have
grasped the situation correctly as to
the peculiarities of this variety, the
conditions of climate, ETC., best
adapted to it's growth. Its proper
place is on the higher attitudes and
most northern ATTITUDES. In all re-
spects this is the most valuable apple
grown in the eastern provinces OF
Canada, and at the extreme northern
limit of the growth of this fruit; and
also in the region Of Lake Champlain,
lust south OF the Canada line. This
apple as grown there commands the
highest price in the English markets.
In the Kettle River valley, in the
upper Columbia region, just north OF
the 10th parallel, where l have an
orchard, it is perhaps the best apple
for commercial purposes that we have.
The orchard has an elevation of some
l, 600 feet higher than that OF the
Wenatchee region, but in soil and
climatic conditions is about similar,
except that we have the longer days
of sunshine in the growing season OF
the northern latitude. The growth of
tree and foliage is superb-better than
any thing we have there. Its foliage
is so heavy that we will have to follow
the practice in Montana to some ex-
tent, that is, to thin out its leaves to
let in the sunlight to the fruit the
latter part of the summer. Its fruit
sets all through the inside OF the tree
as we'll as upon the other branches.
1t is a sure and regular bearer. The

The Orders
Arc Coming

From every direction the late or
ders are coming in. We believe we
are safe in saying we have much
more than the usual number OF Gus
toners who sent us "open orders
to ship at our regular prices their
chosen varieties of trees.
We are proud of the confidence OF
our customers. We value the busl-
ness we get it is true, but we value
the good will of every customer
more than we do the money he
spends with us.
If YOU need trees write us. 1t we
haven't the varieties, we'll tell you
so, and you'll not be disappointed
after a long wait. We're not in
fallible-we occasionally make mis-
takes, but with our careful system
of records we general know where
we are at.
Our nursery business is founded
on system. It's taken a long time
to perfect it and we are constantly
improving, but you can rest assuaed
your very interest is safe-guarded.
Clean, hardy, well-rooted, thor
oughly matured trees. That's our
kind. They're cheaper than others
which you may buy at less price.
