marketing of our fruit is a problem
that has not been seriously considered
as yet. We have been dumping our
fruit-good and bad-into boxes and
sending it to market, expecting the
good to sell the bad. But the time
has passed when that can be done
successfully. We have lost out. The
consumers have lost confidence in our
fruit, and have become prejudiced
against it, and for that reason we
must receive much less for our fruit
than do the people east of the mount

and quality have won the confidence

Now unless we can stop playing

on the market fruit worthy of the

be better for us o dig out our orchards

to us that the damage, if any, has

orchard to orchard, and not from
house to house in the cities. If this
is fact, why don't the inspectors

QUESTIONS BY A PRACTICAL
FARMER.

Kent, Wash.
Dear Sir:-Here is a question or
two for you. Can we afford to raise
apples on our high priced land in
Western Washington? Is there an
orchard on our rich valley lands that
is paying for the labor and interest
on the investment? If not, why are
we keeping them? Some 20 years ago
we planted an orchard; something
over 100 trees. We wanted variety,
and all we could use. We planted
early apples and late apples, sour
apples and sweet apples, prunes,
plums, cherries and ounces, several
varieties of each. We cultivated,
pruned and sprayed. We took lots of
pride in that orchard. In the course
of time those trees began to bear,
(some of them), and we soon had
fruit galore. We had all we wanted,
and then some. But l am satisfied
that we have never sold enough fruit
from that orchard to pay for the time
and money spent on it. The trees
are now as large as 10 inches through,
some of them, and are nice, thrifty
trees. We have thought some of dig
ging up lot of them several times,
but have never had the heart to get
at it. Two years ago we grated lot
of them to Winter Banana and Grimes
Golden. AS the price of apples was
low last fall we held our Baldwins, Il.
l., Greetings and York Imperials
until about the LIST of February when
we selected out the best of the three
and one-half and four tier and pack
ed them in good shape and sent them
to Seattle to be sold on commission.
In due course of time, or later, we
received word from the commission
men that the apples had been received
by the inspectors and dumped. This
is the only Information that has been
vouchsafed us. In our ignorance we
thought them nice lot of apples. AS
to why they we're condemned we can
only guess. Perhaps we have no right
to know.
Not long ago we heard the state in
spector tell what apples to plant, but
he failed to tell us how to raise apples
that will not be dumped. And right
here some questions come up. One
is, 1 wonder il he cares? Another is,
why do we have inspectors? had
supposed that inspectors we're intend
ed primarily to help the fruit grower
by helping to prevent the growth and
spread of pests injurious to the fruit
interests, and to help the growers to
raise better fruit. If this is true
what good will it do for the inspectors
to stay in the cities and dump the
fruit Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment that our fruit had some in
furious pest (Which we doubt very
much, as our orchard has been prun-
ed and sprayed each Year,, what good
purpose is served by dumping it into

today to discuss the elevator and bulk
grain problem. The meeting was we'll
attended, there being nearly 100 far
mers present, representing several
locals.
1t was decided to build elevators at
Pullman, Chambers, Kitsmiller and
Armstrong if sufficient funds can be
raised. The four elevators will cost
about S45, 900. The farmers voted
almost unanimously in favor of ele-
vators. 1t is certain that at least two
of these elevators will be built. The
farmers have received assurances from
Portland that elevators will be built
there to handle bulk grain of the crop
of 1913
The farmers near Whelan, a wheat
station six miles north of Pullman,
have raised $4,000 fer an elevator and
the local union at Albion has raised
enough money to insure large
elevator there.
