The Port Townsend Leader,

The Port Townsend Leader, of re-
cent date, gave an account of the pro-
fits of one single cow in the herd OF
William Bishop, of the Chimacum
Valley. Mr.. Bishop has built up one
of the best Holstein herds on the
Pacific Coast and is continually i'm
porting the best blood obtainable.
Three years ago Mr.. Bishop bought a
Holstein COW in the east for $3.50.
Her first calf was sold for enough to
pay for the COW. During the fair this
past fall her twin heifer calves we're
sold for 5000 to Charles e. Peabody,
of Seattle. Mr.. Bishop has also sold
the mother for $500. The COW pro
duced, under Mr.. Bishops care, eight
gallons of milk day during part of
her lactation period. Mr.. Bishops
profits on this single COW probably
amounts to $1,000, from an original
investment of $3.50.

The wonderful display made by the
growers of the Pacific Northwest at
the New York land show has astonish-
ed eastern people. The show was the
best ever held at the Madison Square
Gardens and took place during the
first part of this month. 1t was at
tended by amazing crowds and the
interest displayed was more than
casual observation. Most of the
visitors we're intensely interested in
plans to get to the Pacific Northwest
and become producers. The Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, prize of $500 went
to a North Yakima woman who also
received the $1,000 silver cup offered
by A. G. Hanauer, of Spokane. The
Northwest made clean sweep of all
apple prizes. The Great Northern
Railway had wonderful display OF
apples. Oregon and Montana we're
big winners at the show also.

The Ranch has always commended
that Western Washington was the
ideal pear country of the world.
While Eastern Washington probably
has something on the west side in
the way of apple culture, the west
side can excel in raising good pears.
Mr.. George Meyer, Of Orcas Island,
is reported to have made another pear
record during the past season. He
shipped 1000 boxes of pears to New
York which were sold at auction.
They brought 1896 box. This will
give Mr.. Meyer 5000 for his two cars
of pears, the freight and commission
amounting to Sl.00 a box. The re-
port says that these pears grew on
three acres of land and that he turn
ed enough of the culls to pay for the
care of the orchard during the year,
leaving him net profit Of over Sl4OO
an acre. The pears were the AnJou
variety.

worth of hogs raised from this one
animal. This amount was not made
by selling pedigree stock by any
means. There were q shoats sold for
S216; three sows for 800 and the
balance was made up from the sale of
pork and lard. The SOW was fed most
ly on wheat and allowed clover and
alfalfa pasture. 1t would seem that
raising hogs in Washington ought to
be profitable.

The Cowlitz county fruit growers
had very successful gathering the
first of the month, and completed a
permanent organization. There were
about Is growers in attendance. A
committee consisting of e.. G. Stern,
H. G.. Kronk, Fl. Jabusch, +. s. James
and w. Ell. Towne, all we'll known
horticulturists, was appointed to draft
a suitable constitution and bylaws
for the association. This association
starts with every prospect of success.

The Portland Union stock yards re-

The Portland Union stock yards re-
ported that the receipts of live stock
is considerable less during the last
year than the year 1910. In the
month of October of 1910 there we're
6, 786 head of cattle received while
the past month there was 5, 479. Hogs
make a similar showing, in 1910 of
IL, 800 and the past month 1902.
Sheep we're the only animals that
showed a gain and this was more than
double. This was probably caused
by short pasture.

The organization OF producers for
mutual benefits is getting to be an
every day occurrence in the state.
The last one of note is the Chehalls
County Producers Exchange. The
early part of the mouth meeting
was held at Montesano at which the
prominent growers of Montesano,
Elma and Oakville met the produce
dealers of Aberdeen and Hoquiam and
organized an association with the
above name. j. h. Calder, of Monte
sano. is president and e. G. Allen,
secretary. A meeting will be held
later in the month to complete the
organization. 1t is believed 1T Will
work successfully to both growers and
commission men.

The year 1911 will be known as
short crop year, as practically all
staple crops are short this year. Corn
is an 80 per cent crop; potatoes an So
per cent crop; buckwheat an 81 per
cent crop; flax seed 80 per cent crop
and tobacco Sc per cent crop. The
apple production is given at 81 per
cent of the full crop. This is better
than 1910 when it was but AZ per cent
of full crop.

One of the most discouraging signs
from live stock standpoint is to see
the number of calves being sent to
the block. Scarcely a day passes that
we fail to see from the windows of our
office wagon loads of Holstein calves
being hauled to the slaughter house
for vealing. Many of these come
from high grade cows, and the bulls
should be raised to maturity for
breeding up dairy herds. Strange to
say there are many heifers among
these calves also, an absolutely un-
called for loss to the man who grows
them. There can never be any special
progress in livestock growing so long
as so many calves are being used for
vealing purposes.

The big apple show which has just
been held in New York City has ad-
vertised the Pacific Coast as nothing
else has ever done. The Northern
Pacific prize of $500 in cash was won
by Ella ID. Rowland, of Zillah, Wash
ington, for the best twenty five boxes
of apples displayed. There we're
fifty contestants in this class. Cash
mere, Wenatchee and Hood River won
good prizes also.

North Yakima is wide awake to the
benefits to be derived from wider
agricultural eduction in the public
school. They are now arranging to
have a demonstration farm conducted
under the auspices of the Yakima
school district, and the commercial
club OF that city is arranging to pay
one-half of the expenses of such a
school. This is a wide awake move
and we hope it will be success.

The w. w. Robinson Commission
firm, of Seattle. is now attempting
TO organize a farmers cooperative

the hay raisers of Ellensburg district,
the barley growers of the Walla Walla
district, and the oat farmers of Skaglt

The theory is right but our farmer

The Value of the Grange.

The organization of oranges through
out the county is step that is In
estimable in the progress and growth
of the community King county is
now pretty we'll organized among the
farming districts and the results that
the oranges have brought about are
more apparent every day.
1t has long been known among
people that in union there is strength
and that to successfully accomplish
a desired result everybody must act
in harmony and with but enc aim.
Capital long ago realized this and
organized. Labor, after the introduce
ton of machines, beclme an i'm
portant economic quantity and the
sellers of it early recognized that ip
order to market their product sue
cessfully they must be organized and
we're first known ia England as guilds.
It is from this that we have the
modern trade union.
The importance Of the country as
an agriculture nation and the upr1s-
ing of a new class of brokers who deal
in the products, and who are Orgniz-
ed. has made necessary the organiza-
ton of the Farmers Grange a
union among farmers to protect
them from the greed and undue
profits. which are made by the brok-
erS.
Not only has the grange performed
it's duty of protection among the
farmers but it has acted as an edu-
Gator. Through the influence and
concerted action of the grange, ma
cadam roads have been built, rail
WAYS have been constructed, mail
routes established and telephone lines
built They have aided in every
movement toward higher education
and the influence of oranges has
been known to elect or defeat as
pirants to office.
The time has come when the farmer
is not content to SOW, to reap and TO
sell and have no other interest In
the welfare of his neighbor or his
country and the advance has been
due. in a great measure to the Grange
or with it's establishment the farmer
has come to fully realize and reallz-
ing to profit thereby that he is the
man who truly controls the nation.
