The Best Stump Fuller.

We call especial attention OF
land owners to the advertisement
on page of the Pacific Manufact-
uring Co., inventors and makers of
the best stump pulling machine on
the market. These machines have
been tried out by many and have
proved entirely satisfactory. The
men who make them have lived
on the Pacific coast all their lives,
and have given years of time and
study to the problem of pulling
stumps from logged-off lands. with
the result that they can confident
ly offer the Pacific stump puller as
the best on the market today. Mr..
Chas. G. Horsfall, $50 High street,
Bellingham, is the company's dis
trict manager and he will be glad
to call upon anyone interested in
stump pulling, and explain the
merits of his machine

Lynden Men and Lynden
Money to the Front.

Several months ago an orchard
company was organized for the pur-
pose of setting out large tract
to fruit at LINDEN. Some of the
incorporators were Bellingham men
and the name 'Nooksack Orchard
Co" was chosen The Bellingham
members have so far failed to make
good. but Lynden men are pro-
ceding with the enterprise. They
have ditched the first name and the
company is now known as 'Lynden
Orchards" owned by Lynden men
and operated by Lynden money.
Later on, when the pioneer work
is completed and substantial re-
suits are in sight. Bellingham boos-
ters. with their proclivity for grab
bling everything that looks promis-
ing, may want to claim the credit
for promoting the enterprise, but
to Lynden men and Lynden capital
belongs all the credit

Third, we get nearly all pointers

If the farmers could come
together and dispose of their crops

the farmers, are justly entitled to,
would be more inducement to the
farmers to be scientific than any

Objects to Consolidation.

The county superintendent on
Monday listened to protests from
representatives from the Glendale
Sunrise, Sunshine and Fairview dis
tricts against the proposed consoli-
dation of the school districts in
Delta township. The reasons offer
ed for objection to the consolida-
tion and the establishment of a
central school were that it would
compel the pupils to travel to the
central school over poor roads. and
SO work hardship on the children
OF the higher grades. A request was
made that If consolidation is con
sidered necessary, it be made with
Lynden township.

Farmers Cooperate.

Unable to ship out hay, grain
and other bulky crops because OF
their isolation from the busy world
without, the farmers OF Tillamook
county. Oregon, have found pros
perity and wealth by concentrating
their produce into cheese.
Eighteen cooperative creameries
in the district are federated with
central marketing agency, and
the annual report OF Carl Haber-
lack, their selling agent. who re-
putedly handles more cheese than
any other man in the United States
is replete with interest and helpful
hints.
"Of a total of 29.199,514 pounds
of milk delivered to the Is cream
cries the last year, resultant OF
a.211,004 pounds of cheese was de-
rived" says this report. This net
ted the farmers 16 1-3 cents per
pound for their cheese, or $1.61 a
100 pounds of milk. This after al
lowing a little less than 3 cents a
pound for manufacturing. II the
factories not represented by Haber-
lack be added to those represented
by him, the total value Of the cheese
output of the Tillimook region for
the year will be little more than
S73O.O00.
The farmers have always claim.
ed an annual yield per COW of 100
but last year the average profit per
COW was $l06.
At the average price received fol
their cheese, ton of that concen.
trated product was worth $326.80
At 80 cents a pound for butter
5000 would be concentrated into a
single ton. Produce thus highly con.
densed the growers could move out
to market in spite of their isolation

WASHINGTON FRUIT TREES.

There were on January /, a.
sS7.0s2 fruit trees set out on 229.-
$50 acres in this state. Apple
trees lead with 10,211,902, pears
followed with 1,246,235. There
were 1,724.201 peach trees, 14s.-
474 apricot, 1,O96,793 plums and
prunes and 559.477 cherry trees.
Small fruits, including raspber-
ries. blackberries. logan berries, cur

strawberries, 1852 acres; cranber-
ries. 400 acres; grapes, $500 acres,
making grand total with the a
bove of 23S,S19 acres in this state

fruit growing.
Spokane county led in the acre
age in apples, with 34.452 acres;
Yakima second. with 34,250 acres:
Chelan third. with 33,12O acres.
and Okanogan fourth, with 15.42S
acres.
In pears Yakima county led.
with 7,164 acres, with Benton
county second, with 1,011 acres.
and Chelan third, with S65 acres.
Yakima county also led in the
acreage in peaches. at 6,369 acres,
with Benton county second, at l.
719 acres.
Chelan county led in the acre
age in apricots, at 377 acres, with
Klickitat county second, at 291

Clarke county had about one
half Of the acreage in plum and
prune trees of the state.
King county led the state in the
acreage in cherries, at 528. i. e.,
over 10 per cent of that of the en-
tire state.
But the following data is of
more interest because of the bear
ing that data has on the increased
yield coming on in the next few
years:
Spokane county has on January
!. 1912, 5s5,O76 apples trees 4
years old and older. and 1,299.s05
8 year old and younger. The cor
figures for Yakima
county were, respectively. 642,O32

800 trees years old and older, but

come into fruitage.

credit than such security, provided
the amount of the mortgage were
not excessive and the borrower a
man of good repute. But no mat
ter how high the name of the bor-
rover SO far as character is con-
cerned. no matter how much the
surplus value of the security a
bove the loan, the farmer has to
pay comparatively high rate of
interest and perhaps make the loan
for very short time, at least
short SO far as the usual run of
real estate mortgages goes.
The interest rate as stipulated
in the mortgage may sound low,
say or even 6 per cent. But there
Is always commission which
brings the rate up to 10 per cent
or more. according to the length of
time the mortgage runs. There
will also be about the same expen-
ses to pay over again in case of a
renewal. In other countries, not
ably in Germany and France. the
farmer can secure money on his
land or the city dweller on his
home from the government at

rule it must be taken for a long
term, IS years or upward. 1t is
not likely that our government will
soon 60 into the loan business, al
though the time will finally arrive
when We shall follow the example
of Germany and France.
A family Of money-lenders in
Illinois has worked out a scheme
for serving farmers and city home
owners that seems to be good
su bstitute for the government meth
cd. and there is no reason why the
same methods should not be fol
lowed in Oregon. The Woodruff
family has been in the mortgage
loan business in Illinois about so
years and has studied the business
at close range as conducted in
every civilized country A plan
has been adopted whereby Z per

On unincumbered lands and homes
These loans are automatically dis

by the payment of per
cent interest semi-annually for the
30 years. The mortgagor for a
loan of a thousand dollars would
pay $25 twice each year, or $2100
in 80 years. This would wipe out
the debt II he obtained an ordi-
Iary loan at per cent he would
have paid $1,000 at the endof the
30 years and would still owe the
face of the loan.
The Woodruffs conduct their |
business as fruSt cOmnany With |

Many children in the rural dis.
tricts have experienced the disad'
vantages OF roads made impossible
through a lack of proper mainten
ance and it is expected that theil
interest in the competition will
stimulate greater interest among
the parents. Bad roads have pre-
vented many children from obtain

even prevented doctors from reach
