men and Housewives-6oo Stu
dents Enrolled as Guests.

State College-Double-length trains
arriving here from North, East, South
and West attested the popularity OF
Farmers Week" as the most ambi-
tious effort in the annual program OF
State Colleges system Of extensional
education At nlghtfall there were
600 student farmers enrolling as
guests at the fraternity houses and
private homes thrown open for their
entertainment during the six days in
which the Keystone Commonwealth
hopes to impart through the medium
OF the State Experiment Station the
concrete results OF experimentation in
the work OF making the soil produce
without lessening its original product
iyeness. The prediction is that 500
and perhaps 1000 tillers Of the soil
and raisers OF cattle will take active
part in the spreading of the new
agriculture" Mid-winter weather
served up with six.inch dressing of
firm snow turned the State reserve
into a picture of magazine cover gorg-
BUSINESS. The pine grove about "Old
Maine" where the official reception
to the farmers took place, was clothed
in Arctic glory, the boughs of the
trees, recently wetted by heavy rains,
bending low with lacy frescoes that
look not unlike the crowded fronts ~of
giant white ferns.
There we're 10 big bobsleds, fixed
up in regulation straw-ride style, await
ing the visitors at the Lemont sta
ton, and the incoming host resolved
itself into town sleigh-riding party.
At night, around the blazing logs of
the fraternity houses, the practical
students of soil culture were prophe-
sying a week OF unprecedented sue
cess for the men who have undertaken
to guide them to better era for the
farmer. The seeker for the old-fash-
Toned picture book "Hayseed" would
find a quest among State Colleges
guests during Farmers Week" unre-
warded. For the most part the men
who have come to learn are men in
every sense of the word. Instead of
settling problems of the State and
nation, as they are supposed to do in
popular fiction, they compare among
themselves the varied excellence of
those papers devoted to their inter
ests, and many OF them are heard
declaring simply that they are sub
scribers to not less than six daily,
weekly and monthly publications.
Some of them boast that they have
not missed the annual week of instruc-
ton since they first received an invita-
ton to attend.

BUT FEW APPLES
HELD IN STORAGE

Apple stocks are being cut down
rapidly. A conservative estimate of
the supply left in all hands in the
Northwest is 20 cars and the actual
amount may fall under this. These
holdings represent only about one
months requirements.
Stocks in the city are very small and
most Of the country points are entirely
cleaned up Five cars remain at Cove
and a little is left at Cashmere and
Chelan. There are no apples at We
natchee except what are owned by
Seattle and Tacoma dealers
The largest supply on the Coast is in
storage at San Francisco, but the stock
there is not tupheavy, as is shown by
the frmness of the San Francisco
market California Newtowns are in
light supply and very firm.
Firmer apple markets are reported
from nearly all points in the East and
Middle West. particularly Cleveland,

Mr.. Butler, who was the chairman
Of the committee appointed at the
meeting of January q and composed
of 2. S. Davidson, W. b. Dickerson
and himself, stated that it had not
been their intention to report unfavor-
able to the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change, and not to make public the
great amount of data secured by them
from confidential sources until the re-
cept of the letter.
The members of other committees
stated that they had notsecured similar
information whereup0n the local com
mittee proposed to them that they
should take no action until they had
made investigation along similar lines.
However, the other committees ex-
pressed a willingness to receive the
local committees report. Because OF
the fact that this information was
secured from a confidential source,
they were asked to keep it in conf
dence. If we had thought of the atti-
tude it might have left the officials of
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange in,
we would certainly not have placed
any bonds of secrecy on them. " said
Mr.. Butler, "and as soon as we learned
of the way they felt about it we i'm
mediatey communicated with the
members of the committees and told
them not to consider the information
secret.
The report of the committee was as
follows:
"In the first place let it be distinctly
understood that we have no unfavor-
able report to offer on the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange. Our position is
lust this, that the resulotion under
which we were appointed, provided fol-
us to consider the matter of amalga
nation of three of the large frut.sec
tions of the Northwest and that VIZ
should investigate the Northwestern
| Fruit Exchange as a means OF accom-
plishing this amslgamation.
In our opinion the fact that neithe
Yakima or Wenatchee are at all inter
ested in the Rogue River plan is Primi
Facie evidence that the best Interest,"
of Hood River could not be served b!
this plan, and, without casting an.
reflections on the Northwes' ern FruI
Exchange, your committee has con
sidered the exchange with special ref
erence to its value as a means o
accomplishing our chief aim, that o

the utmost to care for those in attend
ance on theonly jury term of court that
has been held since the county was or
ganized. AS the county grows and
court business becomes heavier, the task
Of accommodating people will become
greater, and the county seat must be
of sufficient size and business impor-

These are matters that will receive
the attention of voters when they come

possessed by town aspiring to be the

Sterrett, district horticultural inspector,
acted as judges, and performed their
duties in a satisfactory manner. Mr..
Vessels has had long experience in the
work, and assured the management of
the local fair that the exhibit here was
equal to that of any section that he had
judged and superior to most of them.
Mr.. Vessels was particularly pleased
with the showing of grains, grasses and
vegetables, and made arrangements to
secure portion of the exhibit to be
shown with the Inland Empire exhibit
at the Dry Farming Congress at Leth-
bridge, Alberta, and at the Northwest
ern Products Exposition at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Sterrett made a selection of ma
terial for an exhibit to be shown in the
display windows of the I. & w. N. r.
R. at Spokane this week, and left for
Spokane Sunday morning to arrange
the exhibit.
During the two days of the fair many
strangers to this section viewed the
exhibits, and were unanimous in praise
Of the character of the products shown.
The people of this section. could they
have heard the unstinted praise and ex-
clamations of wonder from these strang-
ers, would have a stronger faith in the
soil and climate of this section, and
would be inspired to greater efforts in
development work.
The local fair has done much to arouse
enthusiasm and interest among the
farmers of this section, and from this
standpoint alone the business men Of
the town, who have contributed so liber-
ally for the holding of the fairs, may
feel well repaid for their expenditures.
The fair is growing, and it is time that
some move be made toward securing a
permanent fair grounds and buildings,
as the erection of temporary structures
each year is considerable loss of money.
One of the unique and attractive ex-
hibits was that of E. C. Balzer, park
superintendent of the I. & w. N. R. R.
Mr.. Balzer designed town park for
Newport, with children's playground,
fountains, tennis courts, walks, etc.,
labeled 'Newport's Public Park, 1915"
The plot was decorated with shrubbery
secured from the woods adjacent to
town. Mr.. Balzer is doing good in
stimulating interest in parks in our
town and his recent improvements on
the Railroad park are much appreciated
by our citizens.
