to oonsign. But there is one factor
that is indispensable if we want to
sell, and that is we must have buyer.
The seller can not create buyers. II
the fruit crop is light in the United
States and Canada, buyers will be
abundant; but if the crop is very
large, then buyers will not appear in
great numbers and those that do will
offer prices so low that it is ain lost
ruinous to accept them. What is the
grower to do under such conditions?
Perishable fruit will not wait and
may soon go to ruin. Obviously there
is but one thing for the grower TO do
and that is to consign.
[ have been in the fruit business
for number of years and in not a
few cases have been compelled to con-
sign or let the fruit rot in the orchard.
So metimes it is better to sell or con-
sign when not cent is made in the
transaction as a whole. Some one
let the fruit rot" But it often hap
pens that the grower has a good deal
of money invested in his crop before
it is ready to gather and ship. 1t
takes money to prune, spray, thin
and cultivate before the crop is ready
to move. Now, | hold it to be sound
hl1cI RI hn hA
money SO invested even if there is
not a cent of profit above these neces-
sary expenses. We have sold some
peaches this year in order to get the
money already invested when not
cent was made on the transaction as
whole. One reason why some people
are opposed to consigning fruit is the
idea, quite common in the minds of
growers, that all commission men are
dishonest and will cheat the grower
every time they get chance. l wish
to say frankly that my experience
does not confirm this notion. Upon
the whole [ have been we'll treated by
lSSlOu u0D. IudU Ddu men
sometimes get into the business, goes
without saying. Bad men get into
all trades and callings. Sometimes
bad men get into the Christian minis
try, but that does not prove that all
men in that calling are wolves in
sleeps clothing? The man who
would reason in that way makes a
fool Of himself. No, 1 honestly be-
lieve that commission men as a class
average as we'll as any other class.
am quite sure that any commission
man who does not deal fairly and
honestly can not continue very long
in the business. What the grower
should do if he wishes to consign
fruit to a commission house is to
look up the record of those with whom
he is about to entrust his business.
The worst scald we have had in dis
posing of our fruit was from buyer
who got away with about $500 of our
money. A buyer may be dishonest
as well as the commission man.

coast. 1t would be this home trade
that | would look after if [ was going
into the fruit business west of the
Cascades.
Another surprise at the King
County Fair was the very few prunes
and plums on exhibition. I know no
good reason for this condition. We
know that prune growers at Van
oouver, Washington, and in the Will
annette Valley make good money rails
ing Italian prunes. The conditions
here are very similar to those in the
sections named. do not pretend to
fully understand the conditions here
but would be glad to help the fruit
growers in any part of this great
western county.
SHALL WE SELL OR CONSIGN?
During peach harvest my wife and
I sojourned on our fruit ranch in the
Yakima Valley. At that time a dis
cussioD was going on among the fruit
growers as to whether it was better
from the stand point Of the grower to
sell his fruit before shipping or to
consign to fruit dealers in the many
cities both east and west In some
cases there was bitterness and bad
feeling engendered by this discus
sion. I took no part in this discus
sion nor do intend to do so now. L

HADLEY is FOR TAFT
Roosovelt's Former Manager Comes
Out SquareIy for tho
President

Gov. Hadley, of Missouri. who was
one of Roosevelt's managers at the he
publican national convention. and who
had charge of the contest made by
Roosevelt delegates, has declined to
follow the Third Term candidate out
of the Republican party. and has de-
clared that he will support President
Taft. In speech at Jefferson City.
Mo-, he said:
81 hope that these many highmind-
ed but. believe, mistaken men, who
have thought there was greater In
terest to be subserved by Joining In
the organization of new party and
the nomination OF another State tick
ct. will yet see that by such acts they
are simply doing that which tends to
insure Democratic success. And l
hope that they will come back to the
party which has stood for decency;
that has stood for sane and effective
progress in the conduct of public AZ
fairs"
After appealing to Republicans to
support the Republican nominees,
Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech
that the Democrats were pledged to
the same kind Of tariff legislation as
they gave to the country after the
Democratic victory of 1892. He said
that no Republican could associate
himself with those whose efforts tend
ed to Insure Democratic success.

TALKING ABOUT sTRAWA

The Billings (Mont.) Daily Gazette.
which has been q strong Roosevelt pa-
per until recently, has come over to
TAFT, the editor giving his reasons for
the change In double-column article.
declaring that he sees no hope for the
SUCCESS Of the Third Term party, and
Is convinced that the cause OF real re.
form can be best promoted by con-
tinulng the Republican party in power.
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through change
in administration, and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette 10 the most important paper in
Montana, Its influence upon the cleo,
ton can hardly be measured. 1t is only
another one of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col.
lapsed. that the country realizes the
fight Is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party, and that no
possible benefit could be derived from
= change.

MUST VOTE FOR TAFT
Roosevelt, Who Cannot Be Elected,
Says That Wilson's Election Means
Nationwide Disaster.

Col. Roosevelt the Third Term Can
didate, cannot possibly be elected.
There is no way in which he can car
ry enough states to give him 266 cleo
toral votes.
But by dividing the Republican
party, Col. Roosevelt can aid in elect
in Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate. Should Wilson be elected?
Roosevelt says that Wilson's election
would plunge this country into nation
wide disaster. Here are Roosevelt's
own words, written In the Outlook Of
July. ~. 1912:
III DR.. Wilson were elected, he
would either have to repudiate the
promises made about the tariff in the
Democratic platform of else bring ev-
cry Industry In tho country to 4 crash
which would make all panics In our
past history seem like chiid's play in
comparison. In short. were DR.. Will
son elected on this platform, he would
be obliged at the very outset of his ad-
mlnistration to face the alternatives
OF dishonesty or disaster, the alterna.
tives of refusing to carry out the ex-
pressed pledges Of the platform, or
else of causing such disaster to ev-
cry worker in the country as would
mean nationwide ruin"
AS Roosevelt cannot be elected, and
as Roosevelt says that Wilson's cleo
ton would mean disaster, 1t IL a log
lcal conclusion that the vote of the
country must be given to President
Taft.
