FRUIT GROWERS ARE
TO ASK LEGISLATION
Meeting Of State Horticultural Society
Brings Out Many Interesting
Features

The State Horticultural Society
concluded it's convention at North
Yakima, Friday, after a series of
sessions in which the fruit situation
vas talked over frankly, and not
only the growing problems, but the
marketing problems, got due con-
sideration. R. M. Winslow, of Vic
toria, B. c., served notice on the
Washington growers that the British
Columbia fruit men proposed to
supply hereafter the prairie trade
of Canada. He also protested against
the consignment of fruit into their
territory, saying that in many cases
it brought to the grower no returns,
and demoralized the market.
E. H. Shepard, of Hood River,
showed that the bad prices of the
season of 1912 were not due to any
one, but to number of causes. He
warned the growers that it was up
to them to take steps towards in
creasing the consumption of apples,
by advertising and by following the
methods successfully used by the
banana and citrus fruit people in
creating a demand for their goods.
Discussions of pear thripps, of
apple resette and of the oil spray
were lively and brought out valu-
able points. The establishment of
a permanent committee to prepare
data for a hearing before the public
utilities commission to procure lower
freight and express rates on fruit,
especially Of the former in less than
carload lots, was appointed.
E. G. Burlingame, of Walla Walla
was elected president and that place
chosen as the next convention city.
Other officers elected were: First
vice president, r. A. Jones Of Spo-
kane; second vice president, George
Ferrow of Wenatchee; secretary,
L. M. Brown of Walla Walla, and
treasurer, w. N. Irish of North
Yakima.
Several changes in the state hor-
ticultural law, to the end of making
it more effective, were introduced,
the state horticultural commission
er's salary was recommended to be
increased from 50, 900 to 50, 400 per
year, and an appropriation of $780,
600 to cover the two years will be
asked. Counties will be given the
power to make levies for horticul-
tural inspection, if the legislature
approves the bill, and the state COL
lege will be required to establish a
demonstration and experimental
farm in the Yakima valley.

WATCH THE LEGISLATURE

Some weeks since we mentioned
the fact that the farmers of the
White River Valley were organizing
to further their general interests,
and Immediately with view to Sc
curing proper legislation.
| wrote to member of the legis-
lative committee asking how farm
ers here could further their work.
He replies:
The best way you could get in
touch with the legislative work is to
send your strongest member to
Olympia for a week or more during
the meeting of the legislature and
have him work with the oranges
and with committees like ours. We
shall send one or more men there to
watch our legislature. The time
has come when farmers, regardless
of their political affiliations, or diff
ferent residences, must act together
in the state. Not only has the time
now come, but it has always been
so, though it has been hard to make
the farmers realize this.
We have a remarkably strong
organization started here and hope
to accomplish some good. Our aim
is to take up such subjects as road
building and taxation and we hope
to have thousand members with
in three months. In fact there has
been nothing that | have undertaken
for years to which there was such
a unanimous response.
1t is evident that farmers are
waking up to the fact that if they
wish to secure what is their due in
legislation or otherwise, they must
cooperate. Further they are be-
ginning to realize that they must be
informed on the trend of affairs,
must keep posted, must know what
they want and go after it in a body
sufficiently large to carry some
weight. Most of the legislation of
peculiar interest to the farmer is on
matters that have no political sig
nihcance, so there need be no div
ision of interests, nothing to hinder
getting together.
Now how may we help in secur-
ing what we want in legislation?
There is at present no organization
Of farmers here sufficiently large
to send a number to Olympia to
watch legislation. Indeed. we learn
that the legislators are already re-
senting somewhat the activity of
the lobby already there. But we do
have representatives in Olympia.
Senator Allen and Representative
Rowland are both interested, we
have good reason to think, in all
that pertains to the welfare of the
farmer and the horticulturist. If
the intelligent farmers of the Ken.
newick valley will study up the leg
islation they wish to see carried
through and write them about it,
not one or two, but enough to make
their influence felt, we may accom-
plish more than by sending lob
byist under the present conditions.

at the prices. Much Of the tobacco

sian peasant who murdered an English
mine manager has been brought to
Justice. The story has been made pub
lie by an American mining engineer
who has Just returned from a SIX

The murderer had resented rebuke
from the mine manager for whom he

pcance. That evening shepherd saw
the peasant mount the veranda of the
mine managers quarters, where the
owner could be seen sitting with ms
back to the window. The miner had a
pitsol i'm his right hand and as ne
raised it to fire he crossed himseli
with his left. The peasant was too faI
away To intervene or even to recog-
nize the assailant. but he did notice
that the murderer in crossing hlmsei
did not seem able To double his arm
at the elbow.
After shooting his victim through the
back the murderer fled. The shepher'
told his story TO the authorities an'
they at once recalled that the peasan
who had had trouble with the mlh
manager was the possesSor or a stli

They arrested the suspect aud he con
fessed the murder after the officer
