But the men who own and control the
Rural New Yorker are in a position
to know about such things and they
are men of the highest character and
can be depended on implicitly as
truthful and reliable. Hence, it fur
nishes me great pleasure to make the
following quotation from the editorial
page of the same issue of this valuable
paper from which 1 have just quoted:
Editorially the paper says: 'While
reports vary it seems clear that the
apple buyers have secured control Of
most of the cold storage space in
Western New York. Thus they are,
or think they are, in a position to
dictate prices. Thus far they have
not offered fair price for winter
apples. True, the New York crop of
fall apples and Greenings is large,
but of the strictly winter red fruit
there is less than an average crop,
and the prices ought to be higher.
Our opinion is that by January 1st
there will be no more apples In
storage than last year, yet prices rule
about one third less for winter apples.
Here we have still further argument
in favor of cooperation among
farmers. They will be obliged,
sooner or later, to control their own
storage houses and handle their own
fruit. More of them are doing so
this year than ever before"
The state of things depicted in the
state of New York has not yet pre-
vailed in the Northwest SO far as l
know, but there is nothing to prevent
this condition from prevailing here
when the occasion demands it. 1t
will come and we as apple growers
must be prepared to meet it and this
can be done only by the growers hav
ing their own cold storage plants. l
am looking forward to the time when
we shall have a cold storage plant
capable of holding 10000 boxes of
apples in the rear of our packing
house.
The large growers can each own his
own plant but the men who have
small orchards can combine and have
a cold storage plant for ten or dozen
small orchards. AS growers we must
see the situation and be prepared for
whataver NAV come good cold
storage plant would be a valuable asset
on many ranches for use in the sum-
mer time. IL we had the kind of
plant we are thinking about we could
put it to splendid use in time of
peach harvest. Sometimes we come
up to Saturday night with a half car
load of peaches ready to ship which
we must hold over till Monday till we
have enough to fill a car. A big saw
ing could be realized if we could put
these packed peaches into cool
room where the temperature was but
a few degrees above the freezing point.
In such a place we could hold peaches
back for few days when there was a
glut or when the railroads are disab-
led as they were in the autumn of 1910
by fires in the mountains. Cold
storage and successful fruit growing
must go together.

Cars Containing Animals Are Gov
cred With Heavy Canvas to
Protect From Cold.

The Ringing Brothers circus
passed through this city last night
over the Milwaukee road on its way
to winter quarters at Barabou, Wis.
The circus was divided into five diff
ferent sections and they ran as one
train. The show ended its sched-
uIe in Texas where the last perform
ance took place Tuesday. The
trip to winter quarters, which ends
today, has been made with consider
able speed due principally to the fact
that the enormous equipment and
cars were divided into five sections
where ordinarily they travel in three
sections.
ANIMALS GET COLD.
The cold weather met with on the
trip north was not reIished by many
of the animals and to protect
them from the cold, all of their car:
were covered with from one to three
thicknesses of canvas to keep ou1
the wind.
The circus disbands during the
winter, many of the troupes anC
! trained animal acts going into
vaudeville and other special engage
| ments. Early in. the spring they re
unite and after a few weeks o
training, start out again on thei
