WHEAT VS.. FRUIT.

II has taken a Palouse farmer TO
discover that apples do not pay mere
in the Palouse country unless one
knows something about the business
and then only when some time and at
tention is given to the orchard. Wnat
some of these fellows are looking Tor
is variety of apples that will mature
without spraying, worthless and large
and that will, at the proper time, take
legs and walk to market where ac-
commodating buyers will pay fancy
prices for shotgun pack. For the man
who is not will to devote time to the
snple business, which requires not
only a scientific knowledge of cultlva-
ton, pruning, spraying, and picking,
but a proper appreciation OF the I'M
Dortance and necessity of scientlhc
grading and packing, the best advice IN
the world is to let the fruit business
alone. But to come out and ADVISE
against the apple industry in the IA
louise country simply because apples
will not pay unless the farmer under
stands the business, is the Silllest sort
of rot. The same thing is true of hogs
and cattle and horses and sheep. It's
true of poultry.
1t is probable that this same farmer
will advise against the raising OF to-
matoes in the Palouse country, and
yet last year over $500 worth OF to-
matoes were sold from less than four
acres near Moscow.
There are those who have planted
pear orchards here in the Palouse
country, and later dug them up be-
cause the owners could not make them
pay. and these farmers are certain
that pears are a failure in the Pa
louise country. Nevertheless q. f. MIX,
a young fellow here in Moscow, has |
netted over $3.50 an acre from his orc
hard just north of Moscow from three
crops. Mr. Mix netted over $500 from
his 1911 crop alone from less than II
acres. Mr.. Mix will put out more
pears while his neighbors are devoting
their time to raising wheat that makes
the farmer hustle to net eight per
cent. And pears are, by some, pro-
nounced a failure.
Down near Troy the past year one
young farmer get 5000 worth of prunes
from five acres. And there are lot
of people who made a failure of the
prune business, and dug up their trees
Considering the experience of both
the success and the failure in the fruit
business in the Palouse country, and
also the wheat crop, with it's long list
of failures; with it's scores of failures
to raise the mortgage, one is inclined
to the opinion that success in any line
comes only where the producer under
stands the line he follows. Fruit, to
many, will never prove a success. But
to the man who knows how, and de-
votes his time to it, success is as GER
tain with apples here in the Palouse
country as is any crop, and the re-
turns will be larger than most crops
Fifty dollars an acre net Will be a
small return for apples; fifty dollars
an acre net from wheat crop Will

WILL NEVER RUN
SUBWAY TRAINS

NEW YORK. Mar 23-There is one
class of work that women will not in
wade. At least that is the opinion
of Frank Hedley, vice president and
general manager of the Interborough
Rapid Transit company, who declares
that women as street railway, elevated
or subway employees are not only "im-
practible but impossible"
In the first place, the head of the
marlborough operating department
declares that the women can not
handle crowds.
Hedley is not woman hater by any
means, but when it comes to dealing
with the public, why that's a mans
job, he says. He declares that wom-
en- are alright in positions that they
can fill but it would be impossible for
them, say to become guards on the
elevated or subway trains or conduc-
tors or motormen in the street cars
Woman's faculty of losing control
of herself in moments of emergency is
sadly against her, he declared.
Suppose fuse would blow out and
one would scream. Another would
take up the echo and soon the panic
sengers pay much attention to a fem
mine voice piping, Please be quiet.
There is no danger?" said Hedley.
Women have less discipline over
women than men have. Women have
less confidence in women than they
have in men. It's a strange woman
that doesn't want men around.
Yes, they could yell, Watch your
step to people getting on and off the
subway trains but would they make
crowds is only one phase of the work.
Suppose one of the airbrakes refus
ed to work. What then? A trainman
has to crawl under the car and cut
out the brake. Do you think a woman
could do that? Or if she could and
would, do you think the public would
like to see her doing it?
But really, l don't believe women
want to be motormen and guards or
even gatemen. If we decided tomor
row to change the whole system and
put women in the place of men, l
don't believe we could find the mater
al
Zone might think that women would |
be good ticket agents. They are,
where they have nothing to do but sell
tickets, but in the subway, the ticket
agents have other duties. In the
icket office at every subway station is
switch which controls the emergency
-alves. By operating it, every car
N the road can be stopped.
THE occasion might arise for the

never be possible. The failure of some
men will not count against the sue
cess of the man who knows how. The
possibilities of the apple will be judged
by what the successful Orchardist ac-
complishes. The Irishman who pro-
nounced against a feather-bed because
he found one feather hard, knew as
much about what he was saying as
does the Palouse farmer who, because
he made no success with apples, de-
clares the apple crop a failure in the
Pa1ouse country.

1t will be remembered what COM
motion was raised last year because
an edict went fort from the lord cham
berlain's office that the queen object
ed to certain fashions in dress that
had come from Paris. So strong was
the opposition that the lord chamber
lain's office withdrew it's orders that
undoubtedly had been issued to lead
ing London dress-making firms, and,
as might have been expected, denied
that they had been sent out or that
Queen Mary had been responsible for
them
Hostile to Tight Dresses.
This year precautions have been la
ken to prevent the possibility OF the
royal wishes being thwarted in such
an overt fashion. Nothing in the ma
ture of circular tntimation has been
sent out, but rules have been laid
down all the same for observance by
women attending the courts at Buck
ingham palace, and it is against these
rules that society is in revolt.
Tight dresses are barred. Certain
regulations as to trains and wells are
enforced Even the manner of wear
ing the feathers, which are a necessary
adjunct to court costume, is strictly
prescribed.
At Wednesday nights court, two
orJc oppoorod in droccac which while
very far removed from the kind known
as hobble, were tighter than Queen
Mary liked. So sourly did the queen
scowl at the unfortunate wearers that
both girls left the royal presence in
tears. A woman widely known in So
ciety who saw the incident, vented her
wrath in the center of crowd of
the following day in language
that had the true revolutionary ring.
Real Cross with the Queen.
1.-THE sooner Mary, who is not
Queen Mary, but only queen consort, "
she exclaimed, realizes that her posi-
ion on the throne does not entitle
ler to dictate to us what we shall
wear the better for her."

he speaker, who added:
THAT sort of thing will drive us
Ill into the arms of Lloyd George"
However trivial this may seem on
he face of it, the sentiment repre-
ents the trend of feeling which has
ound expression in another signif-
cant way. The post of maid of honor
o the queen is one that is usually
realty priced and sought after by !
iris of good families. There has |
,een a vacancy of this kind at court |
or some considerable time, and it was
only this week that the |
acancy would be filled by the appoint
lent of the daughter Of an officer al
eady attached to the kings house
old.

Chickens Bring Returns.

PULLMAN, Mar. 23.-From nine
White Leghorn pullets H. M. Styles
reports a production of 739 eggs for
a period of five months, from October
20, 1911, to March 20, 1912. The aver
age for the flock was ITS per month
or 161a eggs per hen per month. Mr.
Styles kept an accurate record of the
cost of the food for November and De-
cember which was $500 or about
$254 per month. AS the average price
of eggs for that period was 40 cents
per dozen, the net production was
$2.86 for the flock or about 80 cents
per hen. Mr. Styles secured the eggs
from ]. NJ. Thompson & Son and hatch
ed them on April 81 of last year.
