and some of them shave been there
twenty years. If there is a particle
of difference in the vigor, size, pro-
ductiveness or the quality of the fruit,
[ am perfectly free to say I do not
know it. No one, I think, would
claim that seeds of any kind of vege-
tables, shrubs or trees grown in a
dozen different states would produce
different kinds of plants il all grown
on the same farm. My judgment is
that the same is true of nursery stock.
The elements that cause tree to grow
in Missouri are identical with the
elements entering into the growth Of
trees in Washington. The oxygen is
the same, the carbon is the same, the
nitrogen is the same and the same is
true of the ten elements that enter
into tree life in any state. 1t is prob
ably true that ages of growth in the
tropics may make vegetables of any
kind including trees more tender than
those grown in colder ATTITUDES. But
one step in that direction will have

packed and placed in the hands of
the sellers. Some of them had been
sent east and, striking bad market,
they were placed in storage but not
box yet had been sold. Some people
are discouraged and some are not.
We know that in some cases the buy
ers have formed combinations and
are juggling the growers out of their
just rights. The government, in some
cases. is prosecuting some of these
men for forming combinations in
restraint of trade. What the out
come may be I do not know. Let
justice be done, both to the growers
and the middlemen.

All our apples are packed and remov-
ed from the ranch. Some have been
sold, some have been consigned and
some are in storage. Two carloads of
our apples have gone to London, some
have gone to New Orleans, and some
to Mexico City. We have returns on
about one third of our apples. If the
two thirds bring as good prices on an
average, we will do fairly we'll. We
do not expect to get complete returns
before the first of March. Very
naturally we are in a measure on the
anxious seat. I heard of cases where
some growers are much worse Off
then we are. One man told me that
he had picked and packed 1000 boxes
of good apples, but had not yet re-
ceived one cent Of money. He told
me of another man near him who had

not for anything intimate that those
holding different views on this sub
ject are dishonest. No, no, believe
them sincere, but mistaken. Ii they
think I am mistaken it will not hurt
me in the least. I am a student of
botany and plant physiology and have
had large experience along this line,
but l know no reason for entertaining
such ideas as moving trees from one
state to another makes such changes.

A QUESTION ABOUT NURSERY
STOCK.

1 am in receipt of letter asking me
this question: ''Will nursery stock
raised east of the Cascade mountains
do as we'll on the west side as that
raised on the west side of that ranger"
There is very common notion pre-
valent that trees raised in one state
or in one section of the same state
will not do as we'll in another state or
another section of the same state as
those raised near home. Good men
will be found arrayed on both sides
of this question. have been familiar
with this question for many years.
On my own fruit ranch in the Yakima
valley l have trees in my orchards
raised on the same farm on which
they are planted. have trees also on
that ranch raised in Missouri, New
York, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
There they are, growing side by side,

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO.
Recently some of the daily papers
published statements under the head
ing, "Another Blow at Ireland.' I
copy as follows: washington, d.
c., Oct. 30.-The Department of Agri-
culture has ready for distribution
1000 bushels of dasheens, the semi
tropical tuber which, it is expected,
will take the place OF Irish potatoes
in the southern states. The new
potato substitute, which has a hairy
coat and has been grown with much
success in Florida, comes from Cen
trail and South America, and will grow
in the moist, warm regions of the
South, which are fatal to the Irish
potato. It has been tried at the ban
quets of the National Geographic
Society and pronounced decidedly
good. It can be boiled or baked, or
cooked in any other way potato can
be used. The taste is rather more
meaty than a potato. Some who have
eaten the dasheen say there is sug-
gestion of roasted chestnuts about it,
and others, that it tastes as though a
very slight addition of gravy had
been made to the potato. Tests have
shown that crop OF 400 to 450 bushels
an acre can be raised"
The dasheen is not wholly unknown
to the students of botany. One genus
is called the Colocasia and one species
of this is known as Colocasia escu-
lenta, and commonly known as an
elephants ear. The tuber does
not very much resemble potato, but
can be used as a substitute and is so
used in very warm climates where
potatoes can not be successfully rails
ed. This dasheen can be grown in
rich, moist soils in the South and as
far north as Washington, D. @. From
what can learn about this species, 1
believe it can be grown in the state
of Washington. That it will drive
out the Irish potato no one believes.
1t may prove more beneficial than we
expect.

DEAR SIRs;-The nMr. Mattingly's
Philanthropby'i editorial IN the Times.
Crescent last week was evidently a
premature explosion. since the writer
seems not to have had the time to
verify what he allowed himself to saw.
Mr.. Harry &. Bowie, as might have
been expected, came to the writer's
rescue somewhat with e. ough misin-
formation to give the 1imes-C reseent
editorial some Justification for the err
rors it contained. However, there eau
be no justification for misleading the
public in matter Of such Vita con
eern as the establishment Of a mail
route, and the bas Of public opinion will

A CAUTION.

Our attention has been frequently
called Of late to much apparent and
actual reckless and careless driving
Of automobiles through this town.
No one objects to anyons owning a
machine and running the same, pro
vided, they are used and run with
care and order, with regard for the
safety Of the general public. Our at
tention has not only been called to
fast driving Of automobiles ia this
town but it has become noticeable
by us and everyone in the town. The
people Of this town have rights as
well as the autonobilists and they
should be respected Reckless and
careless driving will not be tolerated
and if kept up the officers of the law
should call halt aid set few ex.
amples by arresting any parties guilty
of violating the speed laws of the
State. Only the other day it is said
that mans buggy was struck on
piblic highway in this county by an
automobile, and his axled badly hent
and spoke broken out Of the auto
mobile while the driver of the ma
chine went his way neither offering
any assistance to the victim OF stop
ping, but sped along at high rate
Of speed. Our purpose is to caution
those who own automobiles who are
frequently driving through the town.
A word to the wise should be sutii-
Gent ere some terrible accident hap
pens. 1t is too late when ,omeone
is hurt or injured for life or killed.
1t may be the result of an accident
but too late when someone is MANNED
for life or killed. Sorrow for the act
will neither bring back life or mend
the injuries which are beyond medi-
cal aid. Driving automobiles slos
through the town can hurt no auto
mobile driver but will make our high
ways passage without danger by
pedestrians as well as those driving
buggies and other vehicles. This is
given as a caution, heed it if you
would save yourself from trouble and
accidents. 1t will be recalled thai
