coal in Illinois in 1910. as compiled by
Edward W. Parker. OF the United
States geological survey. in co-opera.
ton with the Illinois geological sur
vey, amounts 10 45,90O.246 short tons,
as against 50.904,9O0 short tons in
1909.
Illinois was the storm center of the
struggle between the operators and
mine workers which began April /.
1910. and tied up the industry in most
OF the mining districts of the state for
nearly six months
With the mines in most of the coal
producing counties shut down for prac-
tically six months OF the year a de-
crease OF from 20 to 30 per cent in
production might have been expected,
but as a matter Of fact the decrease
was surprisingly small.
The decreased production in Illinois
and big increase in West Virginia
gave the latter state in 1910 a lead
over Illinois of more than 100000
short tons and has apparently estab-
lished West Virginia as second in
rank among the coal-producing states.
Twice before, in 1905 and in 1909.
West Virginias production has ex-
ceeded that of Illinois, but in each
case the difference was comparatively
small.

In marketing apples there are two
great classes of trade which must be
considered. One of these supplies the
fruit stands and the family tables with
fancy, high quality dessert fruits. The
other supplies the groceries, houels
and restaurants with cooking apples
These two classes demand an altogeth-
er different kind Of fruit with different
packages and different prices. The
well informed orchardist knows these
two classes and divides his fruit into
two lots SO that he may sell to advan.
tage in both markets.
For the first class he knows that he
must produce the best fruit he is able
10 grow. His varieties must be those
that stand for high quality and attrac-
tive appearance such as Grimes, Jona-
than, Stayman Winesap, Mcintosh and
Spy. His orchard must be cultivated
and sprayed, his fruit thinned and
carefully picked and packed so that it

mark or blemish.

makes neat. attractive package Of
convenient size and adapts itself most
readily TO skillful and careful packing.
Obviously it is not package in which
one should put any second class fruit
or varieties not fit for eating out of
hand, because it is more expensive to
pack than the barrel and must be sold
for fancy price. 1t is a temptation
to pack highly colored fruits of the
Ben Davis type in boxes and attempt
70 sell them TO innocent buyers as high
quality apples, but this Is short sight
ed policy for the prices we get in the
future will depend largely upon either
our reputation or our notoriety In the
market.
The boxes are made in two sizes so
as to adapt themselves to all shapes
and sizes OF fruits. The STANDARD"
box is 10hx11hx1SM inches, while
the Special" is 10x11x2O inches In
side measurement. The ends are
made Of one piece OF wood q inch in
thickness, the sides are also one piece
wood * inch in thickness, while the
tops and bottoms are Of two pieces a
inch thick.
To enter into the details OF the pack
ing methods IS impossible at this time
because OF lack Of space, but during
the month Of September the College
OF Agriculture will conduct packing
schools in localities where growers
are anxious 10 try box packing
n the box pack is the ideal carrier
for fancy fruit the barrel Is also an
excellent package for that great bulk
OF fruit known as cooking apples
These are purchased in quantities and
for relatively smaller price than the
dessert fruits, hence they must be put
up in larger packages and at less ex-
pense For this purpose the barrel
will probably never be displaced.
Although attractiveness Is not so
vital a factor in the selling Of barreied
