head of far western box apples,
"Winesaps, $500 to 50. 50.' Now
multiply these prices by three and
you find that box apples enough to
make barrel sold at Is cents to S1.50,
more than the same apples in barrels.
The best grade of Ben Davis in barrels
sold at So. 90, but in boxes for $500.
On page IA we find that in Baltimore
barreled apples sold at $500 up to
So. %, while western box apples sold
from $1.75 to So. so which amounts to
from SO cents to 3d. % more for the
box apples. On the same page we
find that in Cincinnati, Ben Davis
apples sold by the barrel for 1926 to

brought 5000 to $6.75. In Phila-

Pleased
as Usual

We are receiving many graft
flying reports from our Spring
deliveries, which goes to show
that our trees are proving what
we claimed for them.
You realize, of course, that if
we did not set out to give salts
faction, we could not long con-
tinue in business. You must be
pleased with our treatment or we
both lose money.
A good many who waited until
late before ordering were disap-
pointed however, for owing to
the great demand we were out
of many varieties. It's the same
old story every year. Always a
lot who wait until just before
shipping time to order and then
have to take what is left, where
as, had they ordered early they
could have gotten what they
wanted.
Let us send you our new cata-
log which will be off the press
about May 18th. It's a beauty
and we want you to have it. 1t
will be sent you for the asking.

of the same fruit.
There are other inaccuracies in this
letter which l am just as we'll prepar-
ed to prove, but will let the matter
lgo now. 1t may be claimed that all
that was intended in this letter was
that box apples have not held up in
price as compared with barreled stock.
That is true and ought to be true.
Fancy boxed apples have pushed to
enormous prices in the Atlantic cities
in the past few years to the detriment
of the western box apple trade. In
1905. A. M. Cleland, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, told me personally that some
time during the previous winter he
found fancy apples from the Yakima
valley selling for $500 per box in
New York. That is too high for the
good of the trade. Ii the western
grower can receive an average of S1.OO
per box for his apples at his home
station, he can make good money.
Storage in transit may be good
thing for the grower, but will prove
far better thing for the middleman.
| am doubtful il it can be secured
and it will not cure certain evils if
it is secured Wider distribution is
certainly to be desired, and our grow
ers are looking to that end and any
thing that can be done by the dealers
to help us will be cordially received,
unless it is secured by misrepresenta-
! ton.
BEST APPLES ABOUT
WALLA WALLA
was called up by the telephone
few days since and asked which would
be the better apple to plant near Walla
Walla, the Winesap or the Mcintosh
My answer was the Winesap. The
Mcintosh ripens too early in our
warm valleys to be a profitable apple
to raise there. In the higher and
colder attitudes, as friend Cass has
said, it is an ideal apple.
CULTIVATING THE YOUNG
ORCHARD
Under date of March 9th, w. j.
Mitchell, Ruhl, Idaho writes:
could you give in The Ranch some
instructions in regard to what has to
be done the first season after the
trees are planted? How often should
the ground be narrowed? Is harrow
ing all that needs to be done the first
season? Do the Trees need to be
sprayed or anything? A good many
are putting out orchards this spring.
Such information would be gladly
received by all those.''
1t is somewhat difficult to give
specific instructions about cultivation
in each case. The soil should be put
into good filth before the planting is
done and then kept so. Narrowing is
good way to do this work. Keep
the surface pulverized for in that
way you conserve moisture. Besides
narrowing. it is good plan to run
over the ground with a clod masher.
The same kind of cultivation used for
corn or potatoes is good for young
trees.
In answering the question about
spraying these young trees that have

.PUBL|C'S MONEY USED LIKE
WATER THESE FINE DAYS

The scheme of Commissioner
Roys to raise the salary of the
public morals officer may precipi-
tate a contest in the council over
the whole salary question.
Instead of simply amending the
salary ordinance Judge Stiles is
going to rewrite the entire salary
ordinance and introduce it by title
tomorrow. Then the council can
make any readjustment it sees fit.
There have been SO many
amendments to the ordinance in
past years no one can keep track
Of them.
When the ordinance comes up
there may be a bomb exploded
under certain councilmen. There
is likely to be some pertinent
questions asked as to what certain
men are doing for their big pay.
One department that may be
looked into is that of Commission
Pr Lawson. Lawson has been
charged with importing Seattle
men to take good fat salaries for
doing nothing while city men were
passed by. A case in point is in
Heated in that of Inspector Gun

Their, who has been drawing 5000
a month for several months for
inspection at the NisqualIy power
plant.
Gunther was brought from Sc
attic. He is a friend of Lawson.
There is no other good reason
apparent to anybody for paying
him 5000 for the work ON the MIS-
'qually.
AS a matter of fact, there is
no work to do there. The con-
tractors are simply drilling a tun-
mel through solid rock. 1t re-
quires no inspection.
A story has been going the
rounds on the street that when
Lawson told Gunther to go up
there and inspect, Gunther asked
what he should do.
well, go up and watch the
water falling down the gulch," is
the reply that is put in Lawson's
mouth by the story tellers.
Whether Lawson actually used
these words, the fact remains that
that is all there is for Gunther to
do inspecting on the Nisqually.
And Lawson is paying him 5000
4 month for doing it.
