THE VARIETIES OF APPLES TO
GROW.

Persons contemplating the setting
out of apple orchards are now asking
questions as to the best varieties to
grow. Any thoughtful person can
readily see how important it is to
start right. It is serious mistake to
set and care for an orchard till it
comes into bearing and then find out
that the varieties selected are poor,
if not absolutely worthless. That
such mistakes are made admits of no

THE WHY
OF A GOOD
NURSERY BUSINESS

We have more than twice the
orders on our books today that we
had year ago at similar date.
This statement recently made to
brother nurseryman prompted the
query from him, "How do you do
ftp" Our answer to that good man
and to our large number of custom
ers is that we endeavor at all times
to so treat our customers as to make
lasting friends of them and to keep
our large force of statesmen ever
lastingly taking orders every month
in the year.
We cannot do this by any other
plan than by treating our custom
ers fairly and honorably at all times
by filling their orders with good
trees, and by so packing and ship
ping those trees that they reach the
customers hands in good condition,
so that when planted they will grow
and mature early into revenue pro-
ducers.
No nursery in the United States is more
ideally located for growing good trees than
are we. We have soil unsurpassed, moisture
under control, a growing season twice
as long as is found in many. eastern states
and considerably longer than that found
west of the Cascades. We have fairly early
fall frosts which tend to ripen the wood fibre
and this together with the absence OF pests
and tree diseases and the persistent care
and cultivation we give our STOCK does
enable us to deliver the cleanest, healthlest,
best rooted, hardest trees it is possible to
produce.
We want yonr business; we believe we
merit it. We wonld prefer not to fill your
order if we did not believe we would give
you more than your moneys worth, We
have statesmen in practically all Localities,
but if you are overlooked, drop us line

orchard. Now after twenty years ex
perience in apple growing in the
Yakima valley, the Winesap, the iona
than and Rome Beauty are my three
leaders among the we'll known apples
There are some new apples, such as
the Delicious and Winter Banana that
I would certainly plant in a com.
mercial orchard. 1 would experiment
with some few others and among them
the King David and the Senator.
Not long since [ received a com
munication from prominent nursery
man in which occur these questions
''What do you think of the Delicious
apple by this time? You previously
wrote us a very fattering notice con.
corning it. We will appreciate your
judgment up to-date on this great
sort. When writing, will you also
give us your opinion Of King David,
Black Ben, Stayman Winesap, Sen
ator, Rome Beauty, Wealthy, Jona-
than, Paragon or other varieties you
consider most valuable from the view
point of the commercial Orchardist?'
A private answer was sent to this
nurseryman, but it strikes me that
the growers are interested in my
answer. or ought to be, if they con-
template setting new orchard OF
transforming an old one. l take 1t
to be wise step for nurserymen to
make just such inquiries. People
who contemplate the planting of an
orchard want to know what experience
ed growers have to say about certain
apples. They want to know what
growers have to say about the profits
in growing certain varieties. In fact
they are more likely to take the ad-
vice of an experienced grower than
the nurseryman advice. The
nurseryman in such a case might be
influenced to recommend such vari-
cites as he has in stock Some

a thing, but it is feared that all are
not in that boat.
Not only the man who contemplates
setting out an orchard is interested
in such questions, but equally the
man who has an Improbable orchard.

up of an improbable apple orchard,
but would transform it by top graft
ing, provided the trees are not toe

is a good bearer and sells exceedingly
we'll. Its name is rightly bestowed,
it is delicious. I have some trees
top worked. Not hand that works
on our ranch any length of time but
knows where these trees are and some
years we are saved the trouble OF
picking this variety. This year, how
ever, I have two boxes of Delicious
in my cellar in Seattle.
KING DAVID.
We have but two trees of this
variety in bearing, but this year my
sons informed me that they picked
% boxes of apples from these two
trees. Orders came in to the apple
growers of Washington for this apple
from Australia and Alaska at an early
date in the fall and all of this variety
we're gobbled up. A prettier apple
never grew-coal black and fine in
shape, a prolific bearer and rapid
seller. | have not yet tested this
apple in all the essential points of a
good and profitable apple, but feel
confident about it's worth as a COM
mercial variety.
WINTER BANANA.
This is one of the new apples that
has come into great favor during the
last decade. Who named this apple
and why he gave it's name, do not
know. 1 can see no resemblance to
banana either in shape or flavor.
Perhaps because the banana is very
popular and very good fruit, some
one thought this apple would also be
very popular and certainly it is a
good apple as to flavor and one OF
the most beautiful apples to look at.
1t is very appropriate to call it
banana. The finest box of apples l
ever saw, go far as I can recollect,
was box of this apple shown at the
Lewis and Clarke Fair at Portland in
1905. A few boxes of this variety
we're sent to the fair by some one
from Orondo in Douglas county
Some of us who had charge of depart
ments in the Washington Building
were so delighted with this new
conner that we bought box and sent
it prepaid to the President of the
United States, who was none other
than Col. Theodore Roosevelt. This
apple sells exceedingly we'll. The only
objection any one can have to it is
that it's skin is so delicate that it is
easily married by being rubbed or
bruised and then it's beauty is gone.
BLACK BEN.
This is an apple that has been before
the public some years. A con-
troversy has prevailed among some
competent men as to whether the
Black Ben is identical with the Gano
or is a distinct variety. Prominent
fruit growers have been arrayed on
both sides of this question and the
matter is not definitely settled with
all growers. My own conviction is
that the apples are not identical. l
have carefully examined both OF them
and believe them to be distinct. |

LITTLE ROCK OVER CRISIS
OF INDUSTRIAL
FUND DONATIONS MET ON
LAST DAY.

| Little Rock, March 1.-The last
day Of February put Little Rock on
the map industrially. The critical
stage in the million dollar campaign
was safely passed, and the contracts
which would have expired by limita-
tion by 6 p. m. Thursday were bound
hard and fast The rallying lunch
con at the Marion, attended by sever
al hundred prominent citizens, prov
ed to be a jubilee instead of a funeral,
and renewed life and vigor were in
Istilled into all present.
The beginning of the week saw only
$147,675 in contributions to buy real
estate, based upon the condition that
they would be automatically cancelled
by 6 p. m. Thursday, unless the total
reached 100000. The committees
again got busy and canvassed the city
thoroughly. At the Thursday lunch
emo they reported $43, 400 more. The
most active committee from the be-
ginning was that of which w. w.
Dickinson was chairman, having Sc
cured total of $30,375 in contracts
to buy. Had all committees been pro-
portionately active, there would have
been raised total of 100000.
But the amount was still about
$4,000 short and 81 men each pledg-
ed $500, bringing the total to about
100000. The money to be derived
from the sales will be turned into the
industrial fund, and the boosters will
work for the remaining $SO0,000 as
rapidly as possible. The work has
been done through the interchangeable
efforts of Carl J. Baer and many 9TH
er cities, attracted by his qualities as
a booster, are bidding for his services,
but will be unable to get him.

RESENT insult TO
GOV. DONACHEY

Dover, March 1.-Buel Montgom-
cry, a school teacher, yesterday in the
presence of a large audience here,
called Governor Geo. w. Donaghey a
liar, and the assembage, led by a
justice Of the peace, threatened to
eject him from the hall. Mr.. Mont
gomory took his seat and did not
again speak.
The startling interruption came
while the governor, in the course of
his campaign speech, was discussing
the public record of his opponent,
Congressman Joe 7. Robinson. Mr..
Donaghey said: 'He has been IA
years an officeholder, first in the Ar
kansas legislature, then in the house
of representatives at Washington,
and in all that time, according to his
record, he has done nothing for his
state or his country. | challenge any
| friend he has here in this audience,
who knows, to show anything he has
DONE
At this point Mr.. Montgomery rose
and asked the governor: "And what,
sir, have you done to make a record
while in public Officer"
Governor Donaghey replied: 81
have been governor three years, have
drawn for my services in the aggre-
gate $4,000 salary, and in return
have made the state dividend of ST.
500, 900 and given Arkansas the most
economical administration it ever has
had"
"And what else have you done?'
Montgomery persisted. The COVER
nor replied
Il have built you state capitol
"What have you made out of that
for yourself?" Montgomery interrupt
ed
mot one cent" Donaghey replied
"and no one can truthfully make a
contrary statement"
"You are liar!"
The words snapped from Mont
gomery's tongue like a crack of q
whip. Instantly the house was in
confusion. Everybody got up, ane
there were loud cries and threats tc
put Montgomery out. A justice OF
the peace led the demonstration.
Montgomery sat down and gradu
ally quiet was restored. Governor
Donaghey then fired string of sharI
questions at Montgomery, but tn,

NEW MAIL SERVICE
TO BEGIN MARCH 4
WILL BE ONLY POUCH EX-
CHANGE, SUPPLANTING SER
VICE ON ACCOMMODATION.

Postmaster o. J. Owen today re-
ceiyed advices from the postoffice de-
partment that mail service would be
inaugurated on the new fast train,
Nos. 119 and 100, on next Monday,
March A.
The new service, however, will be
of little value, as it will consist only
Of pouch exchange between Conway
and Little Rock, and similar service
now operated on the accommodation
train, Nos. 131 and 1872, will be dis
continued.
Postmaster Owen also received a
letter from Congressman Jacoway in
regard to the matter, in which Mr..
Jacoway quote a letter from the
postoffice department, advising him
that the service will be estahl' shed.
The department, however, did not in
form Mr.. Jacoway that the present
service on the accommodation train
would be supplanted, and it is proba-
BILE that most of the patrons of the
Conway postoffice would prefer to
have the service remain as it is, rath-
er than have the "dinky" mail discon-
tinued.

IS MELTING OPPOSITION
DONAGHEY'S VIGOROUS CAM
PAIGN is BRINGING GOOD
RESULTS.
Especial Correspondence J


Morriton, March 1.="No man is
going to turn down an act which will
put money into his pockets" said Gov.
ernor Donaghey this morning at Hat
tieville, land that is why you are go
ing to adopt the Turner-Jacobs bill
1t puts money directly in the pockets
of the ordinary man, who is now pay
.ng more than his just share of the
taxation, by reducing it to what he
should pay.
'4ou do not have to vote upon this
measure until next September. 1t is
such an important subject that a man
cannot speak on it when he has any,
thing else at all to talk about. 1t is
a good bill for you, and when this
primary is over l am going to take
the stump in its behalf and explain
its every detail to you"
With this brief statement the gov
ernor dismisses the Turner-Jacobson
bill, not desiring to bring a problem
which will be settled in the future. in
to the discussion of present day top
les, other than to unquestionably COM
NIT himself in favor of the bill.
Brief as the statement is, It is ae-
cepted by the peopel, who appear to
be satisfied to withhold any action up
on it until they have heard it discuss
ed in detail.
Governor Donaghey does not fail,
however, to call the attention of his
audience to the fact that in several
counties the new legislators have
made their fight directly on the bill
and they won out easily. This ex-
PLANTATION resulted in the defeat of
those who fought the bill, and those
counties are now strong Donaghey
counties also, just for the stand he
has taken on the bill
Heartsill Ragon of Johnson county
was one of Governor Donaghey's most
attentive listeners at Russellville
Wednesday night, and he was pointed
out by the governor as one of the pro-
gressive young members of the house
who had received nominal on pure
ly ON his fight for the bill.
Governor Donaghey is making the
most strenuous campaign of any state
candidate. He has a schedule which
calls for morning and afternoon dates
in interior towns, which are reached
after hard drives and the evening
speech is made at a railroad point.
Large and enthusiastic crowds are
greeting Governor Donaghey at each
appointment, and he is melting away
the opposition in every place visited
| by him.
