CARS RECEIVED.
WASHINGTON Apple CRoP.

Wenatchee. Wash. Oct. 1.-The
harvesting Of the largest apple crop
In the history Of this state Is now
on, and 1t is expected that from 200
to 800 carloads a day will be sent out
during the season. the entire crop Of
the state being estimated at 1000
cars. This will mean approximately
49, 900, 900 boxes Of apples. which will
average the growers 81 a box.
The price Of apples this q is
ver yencouraging. There were many
missivings last spring. when frost,
rains and wind assailed the orchards.
but the summer weather was ideal
over the state and the uality Of fruit
was never better. The increased
acreage in both the Wenatchee and
North Yakima sections Of the state
has enabled growers to supply prac-
ttcally every market center this year.
Tho demand for the western hand
picked apple comes from every large
ing contracted for in London as in
New York. The cities Of Berlin: st.
Petersburg and Hongkong. Yokoha-
ma. Melbourne. Bombay and import
ant places in Africa and South Amer
lea, will be supplied this winter with
western apples.
To stand shipment to far-away
lands, apples must be so carefully
picked that they never even touch
each other. They must be picked one
at 9 time and wrapped at once and
packed 80 carefully that there is per-
feet solidity in the box. The boxes
Of apples for export rae nailed with
a double top n bottom, with an iron
band around the center to
breaking.
A New York commission frm has a
contract with North Yakima growers
for twenty. five carloads Of apples,
which will leave that place in a solid
train.

STUB TRAIN, MAYBE
At Cross Purposes With Valley Cit,
Over Northern Pacific Train
SopOico

Valley City. n. D.. Oct. How
the Northern Pacific is going to move
its station to the high line and not
incur a repetition OF the litigation OF
two wears ago, is a question that is
agitating the public of Valley City.
There is a wide difference Of opinion
concerning the ruling of Judge Ami
don n there are about as many con
struetions placed upon it as there are
cures for rheumatism. But those who
are of the firm opinion that the
Northern Pacific can be prevented
from moving the station on the
ground that it would leave Valley
City without adequate service. find
themselves cireumvented with rumor
that the railroad company. should it
come to a bitter fight and show down,
WI run its ain over the high line
over local protest and give the city
service to all trains running in each
direction With a stub train meeting
the main line trains at the functions
east and west OF the city.
1t is pointed out that this arrange
mel will sidestep the probability of
litigation, and regular connections
could be made with each train at the
functions of the main line. and the
through trains would not then be
compelled to stop at all at the pres
ent high line station.
M distance is so short to each
junction that the Valley City switch
engine could be pressed into service
to meet each train. should such a
plan be ~inaugurated. and the railroad
COMPANY would make up the addi-
t!onai expense of running a stub train
on a shuttle system by reducing the
number Of employees at the present
station. the working Of baggage fan
ing upon the employees on the main
line trains.

INVESTIGATION.
IS ASSURED FACT
Sheridan County Farmers
are Raising Corn and
Building Silos.

Meclusky. n. D.. Oct. 1.-The ex-
elusive grain farm is passing in Sheri-
dan county. The bumper crop of this
season may be a temptation to some
to continue in the same old one-crop
way, but progressive, wide-a.wake
farmers are diversifying.
This is evidenced by the large and
increased acreages Of corn and pota-
toes planted and raised the past year
in Sheridan county by nearly every
farmer. and this is closely followed by
the erection of silos, of which several
have been built this veal.
Beck & Ihelan Of McClusky have
just finished building a $50 ton silo,
the First one OF a number planned by
farmers in this vicinity. 1t is of the
%so-calied common sense kind, and
Will be filled with corn. of which they
raised eighty acres this year Mr..
Thelan says that he believed a silo
would prove YER profitable invest
ment to furnish winter feed for stock.
especially young stock and hat Mr..
Beck and himself would use the corn
thus prepared for their colts during
the winter.
These gentlemen make a specially
of raising farm horses and they have
at present something over 100 head
in their pastures.

n Gorcon had tried to stop the

to be getting the best of the other
Knutson al under the effects Of

1919 CROP.

Billings. Mont, Oct. l.-Profesjor
Thomas Shaw. agricultural expert for
the Great Northern road. whose spec
ial work 1t Is to direct and summarize
development work, when here, was
asked to give an estimate Of the 1912
Montana crop. He said,
1T is not possible to give accurate
figures regarding the acreage, for the
reason that the state has not az yet
established a bureau for collecting
statistics in a systematic way. But
information obtained from other
sources furnishes a reasonable basis
for at least approximating the yields.
There are good reasons for believipS
that the wheat crop Of Montana for
bushels. 1t may exceed that amount.
and the flax crop should give 4.O0o..
900 to 5000. 900 bushels.
Based on the shipments Of grain
over the lines Of the Great Northern,
the production Of grain since 1910 has
been multiplied by 40-an increase
that Is probably without any parallel
In the history OF this country.
This increas 10 accounted for In
part by the rapidly Of the settlement
since 1903 and In part by the more
than average favorable character .oi
the weather conditions. The rains
were more than usually frequent and
timely. The yields in many instances
were almost incredible. Forty to so
bushels Of turkey red winter wheat
are quite common. Some volunteer
crops have run from 20 to 30 BUSH
els without ever touching tho ground
which grew them with pillow. disk or
harrow. In some instances rs BUSH
els OF fax an acre were roAped, and
Yields Of ls to 20 bushels were quite
common.
Where the oat crop was sown on
we'll prepared bench lands, It ran from
SO to 100 bushels. The crops Of bar
ley, we're correspondingly GOOD. Tx.
cellent fodder corn was raised in
many areas that gave from : to !

cellent quality. The crop Of potatoes
was uniformly good and the quality
Is superb.
I'm only two or three limited areas

At the present time there 10 an

YES"
But you objected to your mothers

she was taking far less alcohol thar

your mothers taking Peruna on the
ground that the Peruna contains al.

eohol that cured both Of you. Your
mother evidently was cured of a very
serious atlment. Peruna contains al.
cohoi; 1t was undoubtedly the alec.
mol that cured her. or at least helped
to. The other ingredients Of Peruna
might have assisted. no doubt did. In
your case 1t was the alcohol in the
beer that cured you Of the stomach

alcohol as Ia used in Peruna. I cannot

ever, that most all fuid medicines,
whether prescribed by a doctor or put
up as a patent medicine. contain q
certain amount Of alcohol. It was al
cohol that cured your mother. It wal
alcohol that cured you. In my opin-
ion, alcohol In some form or other Il
making more cures than all other
drugs combined. This Is not saying,
however. that Peruna contains only
alcohol. for 1t does contain certain
excellent remedies besides alcohol.
But I do contend that the alcohol in
Peruna Is not only not harmful to
those who take it. but IL taken in
