L. D. LIVESEY GIVES
INF OR M ALTON ON
THE HOP SITUATION

l.. D. Livesey, for years one of the
prominent growers and buyers of
hops in North Yakima, gave some of
his views yesterday that may interest
hop grower generally, a well as many
who are not engaged in that industry.
He says that, according to the outlook
from his point of view, the hop mar
ket will open low. around Is cents.
He believes that the price will short
~ raise to IS or 90 cents. Taking
the above figures into consideration,
with the knowledge that much of this
years crop was contracted for last
fall at from 20 to 20 cents. those who
contracted have the best of the bar
gain. for a while at least.
Mr.. Livesey states the hops are
looking fine through this region, and
that there is quite an increase in acre
age this year over last. Within 80
days, with a continuance of present
ideal conditions. the picking of the
crop will be In full swing.

Much Fruit IL Shipped
1t is altogether probable that the
carload shipments of fruit from this
valley this year have run to total
closely approximating 300 cars. AT
least this is the best obtainable in
formation from the various shipping
firms and organizations. Naturally
the greater part of the business has
gone over the Northern Pacific rail-
way, the total of that line, as an
nounced by those who have been
turning freight over to it running
something in>excess of 200 cars, while
the O.-W. r. & n. has had seventy or
eighty cars In addition TO all this
there is considerable quantity of
express business. the totals of which

GIVES TO YAKIMA GROWERS
THE RESULTS OF HIS WORK
Better Grading and Canneries Are
the Two Essentials at This Time
If Business Is to Be Made
Paying

4 Every fruit grower in the Yakima
valley wiz find interest and informa-
ton In the interview herewith given
by A. w. Speyers in which he tells
some of the things he learned in the
orchards and packing houses of Ore
gon and California. Mr.. Speyers is
superintendent of the Congdon orch
ards of North Yakima and has given a
great deal of study to fruit topics and
has had practical experience as we'll.
he went to Greg IN and California to
find out. and he returns convinced
that this country must pack better
fruit and open up canneries If it is to
rival other districts and maintain its
own standard of excellence and pros
perity. In production Mr. Speyers
believes Yakima is the peer of any
section, but in methods of handling
the developed fruit there is some dis
lance yet to travel. In talking with
the Herald Mr.. Speyers said:
I'm my recent trip through Oregon
and northern California, taken during
August of this year, the main object
of it was to see how they handled
their apples and pears, and if We
could get any points ON improving our
means of combating blight.
Medford Pear District
zone of. the largest pear districts
is Medford, Oregon. Here are located
some of the finest pear orchards i'll the
state, one orchard having obtained in
two different years an average price of
$40 a box. These sold. at retail IN
England at thirty-fve cents each.
/ There is no question as to the price

fsCemice pears, and were as fine as
foould be raised. / paid particular at
tention to the pruning. That Is no
different from. ours. The treas We're
F;if anything, a little more hishy, but
they prune more, severely than we do.
However as they have little. wind, the
trees do not lean and stalking Is un-
/ necessary and the trees naturally
fforms a better shape and the pears
bnot being blown about do not ruo
or bruise. I examined mum Der OF
clusters, some as many as Ave, ii!
hanging together on one 2Jpf, ara
fnot bruise visible.
Soil and Wood Growth
MANY of them plant trees twenty
nVe feet each way. Most OF the orr
fchards practice clean culture as
there is practically no irrigation, al
( though on some of the poorer land
they are starting to put in canals so
as to get it under water The soil Of
many Of the best orchards is a very
blush black color, kind of gumbo,
or dobe, or as they call it there
sticky 1t is almost impossible DUR
ing the winter, but with careful mulch
cultivation, produces great results.
The growth of the new wood in the
trees is not as long as ours. but is
/ stockier. Onefof the orchards has
even a pre-cooling plant installed, to
take care of Its crop, but the owner
9 say, he will not really need it for d
: couple of years yet. He has 200
, acres, with practically no waste land
or. skips among the trees, and the
trees in each block are almost exactly
alike.

Care Must Be Taken That the
Fruit Contains tho Proper
Amount of Sugar

That 1t Is wrong to pick pears by
size is the assertion of a prominent
New York dealer in fruit. whtksWrikes
to the Herald. He had read in IN Is
paper advice given to growers regard
Ing the time to pick, and he says:
Let me tell you it Is not a question
OF size. that size depends upon the
crop OF the season. II the crop is
heavy and there is not sufficient mois-
ttlre about the fruit it is always small.
but II the crop Is thin you will always
get large fruit. We enclose some lit
erature from Grand Junction, when
pears should be picked and why. and
we confirm everything they have stat
ed, and go further and says that pears
should never be picked when the
seeds are white, but always picked
the moment they have turned dark,
and that Is very good system to
adopt for apples as well as pears"
The Picking of Pears
With regard to the picking OF pears.
the following is a portion of the in
structions given by the fruit growers
association of Grand Junction, Colo,
for growers, packers and pickers
The pear Is a fruit that must be
rtpened after 1t is picked from the
tree, as pears left to ripen on the tree
never have their full flavor and are
often dry and tasteless. In picking
pears, care should be taken that the
fruu has reached maturity and at
tained its full size and contains the
proper amount of sugar, according to
the variety. This stage is detected
generally by the appearance of the
skin, which appears to become trans
parent and the fruit notified near the
stem end with spots of lighter color
than the green of the body OF the
pear; also by the disappearance of the
coarse, woody fbers which are found
through the meat of immature fruit.
Go over Trees Frequently
These facts taken into considera-
ton. 1t becomes necessary to pick over
crop of pears from two TO four
times, picking only the largest and
fully matured fruit each time until all
have matured. All pears should be
picked and stored in a cool place at
least twenty-four hours before pack
ing into boxes for market. This Is
done to allow shrinkage in fruit.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1912-08-14

entity very long, as there are lots and
lots of pear trees killed absolutely by
this disease.
The jacksonville district is one OF
the great apple growing regions of
California, but their methods are poor.
The fruit is largely sold to foreigners
on the trees who pick and pack It.
They do not seem to thin as they
should and the pack is very poor
They grow principally bellfower and
newtowns, and while the volume Is
very large, the quality Is not such as
to Interfere with our fancy fruit. The
mildew has been bothering them very
much. and very seriously interfering
with the trees growth.
Where California Suffers
California has great many times
been the first state to get a new dis
ease or pest, and this is very fortu-
nate for the rest of the country, for
the fact that usually 1t is particularly
deadly in the beginning and 1t takes
time to find remedy. and usually
the other states do not get 1t until
the remedy is found. An example OF
this is the Pear Thrips, very tiny
insect but one which has done grea,
damage both to growing fruit and also
leaves. Fortunately remedy has
been discovered by spraying. l want
d to know as much as possible about
it before we were obliged to fight II
in Yakima. This l had fully ex-
planned. and like the Goblin moth, it Is
more question of spraying at ex-
actly the right time than anything
else.
"The two things which seemed the
most important for Yakima We're
these The absolute need of putting
out as fine a pack as other states, II
we are to get top prices, and If we
don't, there is not much money in II
and the other is the absolute need oil
cannery large enough to handle
large share of our pears, cherries and
cling peaches"

need for evaparators and about the

able to work a day and a night crew

fields are occupied. If they are oc-
cupied, then we will build where
there is a need for us, If such a place
remains. Fruit which is waste cam
not be shipped very far to an evapor-
ator, and one great central plant,
while it souds good, will hardly work

find a plant to which he has to ship

advantage, at least so far as the very
soft and ripe fruit is concerned"

Colonel Says Senator Represents Reac-

Oyster Bay, June 4.-Col. Roosevelt
Yesterday dictated a statement attack
ing Senator Root as the Representative
OF men and policies of reaction, put for
ward by bosses and representatives Of
special privilege" and declaring he would
fight the selection of Root as chairman
of the Republican national convention.
Roosevelt says that Root has ranged
himself against the men who stand for
progressive principles, within the Re-
publican party"
The colonel charges William Barnes,
tho real head of the Taft canvass at
Chicago, with being the representative
of the very worst forms of bossism in
politics." And he declares that no pro-
gressive delegate can afford to vote for
any man proposed by Barnes.
"A great majority Of the Republican
party has unequivocally repudiated
Taft" the colonel asserts and goes on
to say, "if the wishes of the Republican
voters could be given a fair expression,
Taft would have but a corporal's guard
az the convention. Under these circum-
stances it is appropriate that Barnes
should be chosen TO lead the Taft forces
at Chicago in an effort to override the
expressed wish OF the rank and file of
The party and nominate candidate

ARRESTED FOR WIFE MURDER.
Schultz Is Charged with Crime Com
mitted in 1908.

New York, June AZ. l.. Young chief
constable of Osceola, Ark, telegraphed
to police headquarters Sunday that he
had arrested Michael Schultz, wanted
here for the alleged murder of his wife,
Fannie, and had him in Jail. He was
asked to hold the prisoner until ne re-
ceived further instruction.
Fannie Schultz was found dead on Sep
TENDER 81, 1908, in a rear room of a
vacant tenement at l05 Forsyth street,
directly beneath a tenement occupied by
Mrs. Anna Schultz, mother of the man
now under arrest.
He and his wife had not been living
together. On September % he went to
the home of his wife's mother at lT3
Eldredge street and whistled up to Fan

of her until the discovery of her body
by Mrs. Schultz.
The woman's throat had been stabbed
in two places, her eyes We're BACKED
and her right palm was gashed, showing
that she had struggled for possession OF
the knife In an areaway in the rear
the detectives found a bloody shirt, and
ii was identified by Mrs. Schultz as that
of her son. Commissioner Bingham sent
out circulars calling for the arrest of
Schultz.
