county, and the O-W. Railway
have long realized the great value of
corn as a forage plant for Pacific
Coast farmers. and have spent great
deal of money in boosting corn grow
ing. Ten years ago it was not believ-
ed that corn could successfully be
grown in the Pacific Northwest. Now
it is staple crop in Eastern Oregon
and Washington, and is growing in
favor every year in Western Oregon
and Washington. There were some
splendid exhibits of matured corn at
the fair last year and it is believed
more will be exhibited this year.
This is a splendid opportunity for
some up-to- date farmer.
The fair will be held the second
week of September, beginning Monday
the 9Th, and will last week. There
are lot of fine features which will
make an entertaining week. Farmers
should come and bring their families
at least one day or more if they can.
Every loves horse race, and
there is going to be some OF the finest
trotting ever seen on the Coast.

year, using the remainder of the rows
for seed of the main field. For a
small field enough seed can be secured
directly from the selected hills with
out growing the selected rows in adj
dition.
During the past two years the best
yielding hills of great many vari-
cites of potatoes have been selected
and saved for seed at the Western
Washington Experiment Station.
Some of these varieties produced as
high as from twenty to thirty market
able tubers per hill.
Many of our growers by careful
selection are securing strains of vari-
cites which surpass the parent strain.
This may seem an unimportant prac-
tice to some growers. Nevertheless,

maintain the best strains of the best
varieties.

MARKETING AMERICAN FRUIT In
ENGLAND.

One of our Western produce papers
has recently quoted the following
article from the London Daily
Telegraph, which should interest
many readers of these columns:
1.-THE American means to cajole the
British public into eating much more
American fruit, and his method is
the very popular one of providing it
at lower rates than hitherto. 1t is
the Panama canal that is to confer
this boon on the fruit lovers Of the
British Isles, aud, incidentally, to
make the American harvest golden
for all concerned.
Briefly. there is scheme to bring
large consignments of fruit from the
Pacific Coast direct to England, via
the Panama canal. There are many
knotty points to be considered. Fruit
from that part of the world is by no
means unknown in this country.
California sends regular supplies, the
principal items being apples, seedless
oranges, pears and plums. Oregon
provides apples and pears, and
Wenatchee, in the state of Washing
ton, is already famed for its magnif-
icent apples. British Columbia like
wise produces and exports apples of
first rate quality and handsome ap-
pearance.
The present facilities for transport,
although admirable, involve much Ia
Dor and expense. There is first the
3OOO-mile journey across the Amer
lean continent and then 3OOOmile
sea voyage. The actual mileage is
not a matter of much moment; it is
the cost and trouble of the trans
continental route that shippers are
anxious to avoid. At present there
are seven separate stages of handling
and rehandling necessary before the
fruit is landed on the London market,
and a direct steamship service to
Southampton or London would obvi-
ate much of the rough usage and jolt
ing. All things considered. it is won
derful how we'll the delicate fruit
stands the journey. Under improved
circumstances it would be delivered
here well-nigh perfect.
One thing is quite certain. Ii Cal
ifornians desired to develop the Brit
ish market they must provide cheap
fruit. There never will be large
demand for dear oranges, or any other
costly fruit. The days of expensive
fruit for the masses are passed, never

a choice of two kinds of trade SO fan
as England is concerned; either small
shipments and large prices, or large
consignments and low prices. There
is no other alternative. The reduc-
ton in freights-as yet probmatical
expected to synchronize with the
opening of the Panama canal, may GO
far to satisfy California growers with
lower prices on this side, and bring
about the much desired increase in
consumption, but that is not all.
Every season in the fruit trade
brings its own special lesson. The
past autumn and present winter have
illustrated beyond doubt that the
public is not prepared to take exces-
sive quantities of American fruit, ex
cept at very low prices. Even the
splendid apples of the Wenatchee Val
ley have been sold at rates that COM
pare very unfavorably from the grow
ers point of view with those of last
year. For many weary weeks the sale
of California and Oregon Newtown
Pippins was one continuous strain on
the vendors. There was no fault to
find with the fruit, most OF which
proved good and sound and palatable
but there was too much of it.
Production is on the increase in
most parts of America. California,
Washington and Oregon are all striv-
ing to enlarge the yields of their or
chards and ranches, and it is worthy
Of their serious consideration to study
the best means of marketing their
apples and oranges. The Panama
canal may accomplish much, but after
all it can only be waterway, and not
selling agent as we'll. There are
oranges other than the seedless variety
in California, for which in course of
time fresh outlets will be wanted.
Would proud America deign to take
a lesson from little Greece? Let the
growers of Wenatchee, California, and
other parts study the method by
which the Greek currant has been
popularized in England, Ireland and
Scotland. and then apply it to their
own case. The whole of the fruit
eating community must be made
aware of the existence and the quality
Of American oranges and apples. 1t
is not sufficient to grow fruit and
precipitate 1T on an unprepared mar
ket In these days a definite and
well-laid plan to insure publicity is
absolutely essential to the success of
a large industry. The Greek govern
ment was not slow to realize that fact,
and as result of carefully organic
ed propaganda the food value of cur
rants is now thoroughly understood
by housewives throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Some day
perhaps American fruits will be
equally we'll known, if only the grow
ers OF that country would guess less
and calculate more.
