The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-06-16

R. E. Tumble, professor Of horticul-
ture at the Wenatchee High School,
says the proper time to thin apples is
just after the June fall Of apples-the
sooner the better.
The fruit" he continues, should
be thinned before the seeds develope,
as it takes more energy, food, etc., to
form the seeds than all the rest Of the
apple. Apples thin themselves great
deal.
AS to the amount Of thinning, ordi-
narily one apple to the spur is the rule,
but in some cases this is too many, and
some OF the spurs should be removed,
and again when a tree bears its fruit on
the tips of the limbs it is necessary to
leave two to the spur, or materially
reduce the crop. The grower should
study to leave all the apples the limb
can bear well. This varies with the
strength OF the tree. An apple every
four inches is a good rule. In thinning
always leave the stem hanging to the
spur. Half a dozen stems removed
from the spur will cause such large
amount OF evaporation and injure the
remaining stem so much that often the
remaining apple will be blighted. The
apples to be thinned may be picked off
by hand or cut off with scissors. The
long-nandled grape scissors are good
for this purpose. When the apples are
picked off, if the grower will take the
small apple between the thumb and
first finger and with the second finger
against the stem bend the apple quickly
at right angles to the stem the small
apple in most varieties will be easily re-
moved, leaving the stem on the fruit
spur. This is the quickest method OF
thinning apples, and can be readily
used by any one after a little practice.

Wages and Cost of Production

Wages for farm hands in the states
west of the eastern slopes Of the Rocky
mountains are so per cent higher than
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin; but a report published by
the department Of agriculture in May
the result Of an investigation by more
than 5000 couespondents-shows that
the cost Of producing wheat in the West
ern states is only 81 cents a bushel,
while in the Central states above named
it is p cents a bushel.
Moreover, in the Western states the
average yield an acre is over "a bushels,
while in the Central states it is under
10 bushels. With a cost of production
40 per cent higher and an average yield
an acre nearly Is per cent lower, any
standpat logician might easily demon
strate that the Central states would be
wiped out Of existence as wheat raisers
by the Western states unless they were
protected by a stiff duty, argues the
Saturday Evening Post.
Since April 4, in fact, the Congress
sional Record has contained ton of
argument, based upon statistics far less
convincing, that agriculture in this
country will be destroyed by free com
petition with Canada. AS a mrtter of
fact the same report by the department
Of agriculture shows that wheat lands in
these sadly handicapped Central states
are the most valuable in the country,
rising above SIP an acre in Illinois
and averaging over $85 for all five states,
while in the Western states the average
value is under $50 an acre.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-06-16

No woman should marry a man until
she is sure the man OF her choice loves
her, and no man should marry unless
he knows he has won the woman's
heart. People who have never formed
any pronounced friendships know moth
ing about the tendencies Of people who
crave fervent friendships. If woman
is not bound to her husband by what
is known as love, and if man does not
regard his wife as lovable creature,
there will be trouble sooner or later.

LIVE AND LET LIVE
Discussion of the Supreme Court Decision
in Standard Oil Case

W Ohtuuot0 Ou (uSc
The supreme court decision in the
Standard Oil case is a step in advance,
yet leaves much to be desired.
The Sherman act says: Every COM
bination in restraint Of trade is illegal"
The court holds that congress meant to
say, Every combination in undue re-
straint of trade is illegal" No doubt,
as Justice Halan's dissenting opinion
points out, this amounts to an amend
ment Of the law rather than merely an
Interpretation, and constitutes legisla-
tive act on the part of the court; but
the country is quite used to legislation
from the bench, and the important fact
is that many combinations that restrain
competition at many points may, under
this decision, be perfectly legal. What
condemned the oil trust in the mind OF
the court appears to have been its more
ruthless practices in the way Of rebating
and strangling competitors. A combi-
nation OF equal size that had exhibited
rather more Christian spirit might pass
unscathed. 1t seems very probable that
the steel corporation, for example, would
get favorable decision from the court.
The court, however, lays down no
rule by which anybody except itself can
possibly determine with certainty if
given combination is in due or undue"
restraint of trade. That must inevitably
be matter Of opinion. The court says
the law must be interpreted in the
light of reason; but different people
reason differently.
The effect of this decision is very
much the same as though President
Roosevelt's plan for dealing with trusts
had been adopted by congress. Roose-
welt proposed that good" trusts be
permitted to incorporate under federal
act and receive full protection of the
laws, while bad" trusts be prosecuted
the president and his advisers being
the judges as to whether a given trust
was good or bad. The Standard Oil
decision, with its undue" restraints of
competitor and its light of reason"
clearly recognizes good and bad trusts,
but in any given case the court itself
must be the judge as to whether trust
is good or bad. This has the advan-
tage over Roosevelt's plan of securing
an umpire whose impartiality will not
be questioned; but it has the obvious
disadvantage that no combination can
certainly know whether it is good or
bad until it has been hailed into court
and heard the judgment of the final
tribunal.
This is not an admirable condition;
but careful reading of the oil trust de-
cision raises presumption that the
supreme courts light of reason will
shed a mellow and economically intel
ligent beam for all combinations in re-
straint OF interstate competition that
behave themselves with reason
able decency. The Sherman acts
threat of wholesale reorganization in
volving an important part of the bust
ness of the country is now definitely
removed. What was settled in fact
long ago is now settled in law-namely,
that the trusts are to remain with U.S.

Chance to Marry

Here is an article from the Spokane
Chronicle that may interest some lonely
chap in Chelan county: Any bachelor
willing to marry woman who wears a
four and half shoe should communi-
cate with Mayor Hindley. A woman
in Bayne, Wash, has written his honor
asking him to get her a man willing to
live in the country. She also sends
along the size OF her shoe.
