EXPERT TELLS GROW
ERS OF BEST METHOD

Joseph A. Wilson, who left here in
December, and who is spending the
winter with brother in Homer City,
Pa, sends us clipping from the North
American, of Philadelphia, dealing
with apple raising in that state Mr..
Wilson, who states that the thermom-
eter has registered as low as 35 de-
grees below zero at Homer City,
advised that the statements of the
clipping be taken with grain of salt.
The North Americans article is as
follows How the :apple growers of
Pennsylvania can pack in boxes their
best apples and successfully compete
with the western apples was fully
demonstrated by George N Cresswell,
an expert apple packer from Bagall.
N. y, who has spent severa, years in
the Hood River Valley of Oregon.
IF the west can afford to pay $500
freight on a car of apples, or so cents
a box, the eastern growers can surely
put their fruit on the market in the
same condition when their freight
charge in most cases is only $50 a car,
or cents box, was the assertion
made by Mr.. Cresswell when the ques-
tion of expense was raised.
"You cannot, he continued, expect
to box all your apples, neither can you
Gull over your crop in the fall and pick
out enough good ones to 20 in boxes.
You must start in the spring to grow
the apples by giving them the best
attention. Spraying. thinning, eulti-
waiting and fertilizing are the watch

an inch. When the lid is put on by the
special boXpress used, it will tend to
hold the apples firm and take up any
shrinkage that may occur in storage.
In handling the boxes care should all
ways be taken that they are laid on
the side. 1t is best not to packed the
apples in the orchard, but to have a
special packing house, with plenty of
light and heat enough to keep the men
warm. One man ought to pack fifty
boxes of apples day, and the total
cost of box packing IN the most sue
cessful orchards today costs only 30
to so cents more than it would to put
the same number of apples IN barrels.
The high color of western fruit is
not only due to the fact that they have
more sunlight in the fall months than
we do in the east. but because they
are careful in packing their fruit to
get only the mature specimens. This
is easily done by going over the trees
more than once, first picking the highly
colored fruit aud leaving the rest for
two or possibly three weeks, when it
will mature very rapidly. This is
extra work and costs money, but, as it
is generally the color and not the taste
that brings the highest price, it has
always paid those who practice it. "
the great need of two-thirds of the

fessor Alva Agee, in bis lecture today,
'is lime, and the best results will not
be obtained from the use of good seed
culture and fertilizers until this def
cheney has been met. The reason our
glandfathers has such heavy crops of
red clover is because at that time the
lime was present in sufficient guam
titles. The failure of red clover to
grow is better than any chemical anal
ysis TO show that the ground needs

lime,
Just how much lime should be APP
piled to correct this condition, Pro-
fessor Agee continued, will depend
on different things. If the soil is
tenacious clay, and physical improve
ment is desired, an application of two
or three tons of stone lime may be
profitable. In many cases, one half
ton to the acre will accomplish the
desired result, and smaller amounts
may be sufficient. 1t requires between
1900 and 1850 pounds of Stacked or hy
drafted lime to equal 1000 pounds of
stone lime, or a.little less than one ton
of raw limestone reduced to powder.
The best time to apply the lime is
the year before clover seed is to be
planted. This can be done most easily
by putting it on the land with a regu-
lar lime distributor when the seed is
being made for wheat, oats or other
crop with which clover is to be sown.
Never pillow the lime down. because it
is the top soil that makes the best use
of il. Do not drill it in with seeds or
mix with a commercial fertilizer, but
apply on the top soil and harrow in.
DO not think that because you have
applied lime your crop will be success
ful without anything else-it is only
corrective, and is the means of putting
TO the best advantage all else you do
You for your crops. "

words of the west and must be fol-
lowed by the eastern growers.
lone great reason the western apple
has taken such hold on the consumer
is the fact that the growers have com
bined and formed shipping unions of
various kinds so that goods going out
with their label can be counted to to
be up to standard. The eastern grower
is acting independently because of his
inbred prejudice that each has the best
fruit. He would rather lose than see
his neighbor make a few dollars. For
this reason it is necessary that the
indiviual shipper adopt label with his
name and address and then see that
each box of apples every year is up to
his standard. c. j. Tyson, OF Flora
Dale, Adams county, is the largest
shipper of boxed apples in this state.
and he credits a large measure of his
success in dealing with a select box
apple trade to this practice.
"There are various styles of packing
in boxes, said MIR. Cresswell demon
strating at the same time how the
apples were packed, 'hut there are
only two kinds of boxes. They are the
standard northwest box, l04XllAXlS
inches, inside measurements, and the
special box, l0XllX20 inches These
two will tit any size apple. if they are
all graded to the same size and care
fully fitted in. No apples should be
boxed unless they are first wrapped in
manila or clean, new paper. Wrapping
will keep them in better storage, pre-
vent decay passing from one apple to
another, keep them from bruising,
make the pack tight and attract the
customer. The box should be packed
so that there is crown in the middle
of the top of about three quarters of

APPLES TO BE TRIED
BY WEST STAYTON

w. Wellington Phillips of Spokane,
WASH, an expert at setting out CON-
mercial orchards, has been visiting
various points in the Willamette Valley
on behalf of the Willamette Valley
Irrigated Land Co. and of several new
comers to ascertain what will be the
best fruit to grow on the irrigated
lands of the company around West
Stayton. After a thorough investiga-
tion, he eliminated prunes as being a
more difficult class of orchard to sell
readily to newcomers. He eliminated
pears as being eventually in danger of
pear blight, especially on irrigated
land and has decided that apples would
be the best, and after investigating
various varieties he recommends the
planting of Rome Beauty principally,
and about one fifth Gano and one fifth
Tompkins King. About $50 acres will
be set out right away.
