Close Estimate of Apple
Crop Is to Be Made

Spokane-To secure an accurate &C.
innate of this years apple crop tree
census of the four Pacific Northwest
ern states, Washington, Oregon. Idaho
ana Montana, is being made by agents
VI the North Pacific Distributors. the
cooperative central selling agency
controlled by the growers and having
headquarters in Spokane.
II Is the flrst time in the history of
the Northwest fruit industry that such
q complete estimate Of the crop has
Deen made. Adopting the plan fol-
lowed IN the Yakima valley, the Dis
trlDutors aim to take three censuses
curing the season in an effort to secure
reliable and approximately correct in
formation as to probable tonnage in
the various districts. 1t has been es-
tlmated that the growers last year lost
$25O, 900 on account of the lack of re-
liable estimates on the crop, the early
hgures last season being chiefly guess
work and SO per cent higher than the
actual crop.
Every grower in the branches affili-
ated with subcentrals of the Distrib-
utors will make a detailed estimate
on his crop, tree by tree, and variety
by variety. The estimate of the grow
ers will not be taken as final, but in
spectors will visit every district and
work on the basis of acreage and aver
age in former years, and actual condi-
lions on stated areas. These men will
be experts and by double system of
estimating fairly approximate figures
can be secured. Using this system
the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION one season estimated within
two carloads of it's entire tonnage and,
in another season, within 20 carloads.
This years apple crop is expected
to be full normal yield, according
to General Manager ]. H. Robbins, of
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors,
who adds that weather conditions have
been ideal for an excellent quality of
fruit.

Senate Shes at John d.

Washington, D. C.-The senate put
into the agricultural appropriation bill
a provision that none Of the funds pro-
vided for farm demonstration and cot
ton boil weevil work should be used
in connection with contributions by the
general education board or other like
associations. The general education
board was endowed with $42, 600, 900
by John D. Rockefeller and in recent
wears has contributed $3.50, 600 yearly
to help pay government employees en-
gagged in farm demonstrations and boil

is not only very resistant to the action
of germs of decay, but appears not to
be inviting to the common by-products
pests.
Jams, preserves and jellies of most
fruits are generally expected to dis
play good keeping qualities, so that a
great deal is expected of the logan
berry in these forms. Nor has this
expectation ever been disappointed, so
far as reports show. Unlike the fruits
that have to be heavily sugared and
greatly concentrated by boiling, these
loganberry products keep with mini
mum Of both. Hence the natural and
distinctive loganberry davors are pre-
served, offering the much-to-be-desired
something" different to discriminate

Mexicans Ask Surrender,
But Get No Consideration


Vera Cruz, Mexico-A considerable
force of Mexicans attacked the Amer.
lean outpost at the water plant nine
mile. out at II O'Clock Monday morn.
ing, according to wireless message,
which asked for aid.
Supporting troops were ordered for.
ward by train from Vera Cruz to Ell
Tejer, where the water works are sit
uated.
The Mexican troops were in uniform
and consisted mostly of infantry. but
there were some cavalrymen, evidently
belonging to the regular establish
ment.
While no fear is felt by the army
authorities in Vera Cruz that the Mex.
lean troops will make a serious attack,
it is realized that considerable incon.
venience soon will be caused unless
something is done to open the roads
into districts where garden and dairy
products come from.
The Mexicans threatened to "attack
Immediately unless the Americans sur
rendered their position at the waite,
works at Ell Tejer within 10 minutes, -
but failed to fulfill their threat.
AS Major Russell had received or
ders not to assume the offensive, he
and his men were watching the Mexi-
cans with much interest.
Suddenly Mexican lieutenant and a
non-commissioned officer bearing a
white flag advanced and presented a
demand for the Americans to surrend-
er within 10 minutes.
Major Russell's reply was:
Hurry right back and do not waste
any of the time your commanding Off
Ger has stipulated.
Major Russell then made prepare
tions to resist any attack, at the same
time sending message to headquar-
tiers in Vera Cruz that his outpost was
threatened.
Back at headquarters Brigadier Gen
eral Funston and his staff were con-
scientiously working out the details OF
the new government which General
Funston has been instructed to estab-
lish.
The wireless message from the wa
terworks station at Ell Tejer brought
about quick change from this work to
that of active army duty.
Within few minutes headquarters
had notified Major John H. Russell
that reinforcements were on the way
to aid him, and in little more than ar
hour, instead Of the 240 marines com
posing the command of Major Russell
at the outpost of Ell Tejer, there were
in position to support him more thar
1900 men, while the entire garrison Of
Vera Cruz was in readiness.

President Goes to Circus
Like Ordinary Citizen

Washington, D. C.-President Will

Thursday night and went to the circus.
Armed with bag of peanuts for

Mexican question and the administra-

laughed at the antics of clowns and
marveled at acrobatic stunts. He en-

Il am very enthusiastic over the
possibilities of the loganberry juice;
more enthusiastic now than | have
ever been before. The results of our
experiments with four or five of the
products are results that we are proud
OF. Recently we made up some of this
preserved juice for drinking, carbon
ated it and gave it out to number
OF our friends to sample and test.
Almost invariably they told us it was
the best temperance beverage they had
ever tasted. 1t had a wonderful color,
delightful aroma and very pleasant

Northwest. ''No slump" sums up the
ambition of these growers and Profess
sor Lewis for the progress of this in
dustry.
The association expects to accom-
plish this result largely by establishing
rigid standards of products which all
growers must adhere to in order to
obtain the other advantages of the
association. Every box of berries,
every can, every package of dried fruit
and every bottle of juice that goes out
of the state is to be of first quality.

Uses and Care of the Loganber7y.


Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis = The more the loganberry is
studied the more wonderful its quail
ties appear. Possibly it's greatest
single asset is its remarkable keeping
qualities. Who ever heard of can
OF spoiled loganberries? Of course
the careless and unsanitary handling
given all fruit by some people would
spoil anything, but if such treatment
has resulted in producing bad cans or
bottles of loganberries the case has not
been reported.
Dried loganberries likewise have
been on the market in limited quaint
ties for several years and no loss from
spoiled berries has been reported here,
either by the dealers or consumers. 1t

10, 900, 900 Wheat Crop
Increase for Northwest

Portland-An increase of about TO-
900, bushels in the wheat crop
alone is forecasted in the Pacific
Northwest at this time, according to
reports received by The Daily Journal
from over 200 special crop CORES pom
dents located in the various districts
of Oregon, Idaho and Washington.
Present prospects are for total of
$4,000, 900 bushels of wheat for the
three states.
The condition of the winter wheat
crop today in the three states is suffi-
GENTLY good to enable growers to har-
vest an average of Is bushels per acre,
while the spring showing is at least
20 bushels average. This is for the
combined Pacific Northwest states,
and includes the heavy as well as the
light land sections.
An increased acreage is shown both
for winter and spring planting. The
great increase in the winter acreage
is one special reason for the unusual
bumper outlook in the three states. :
Not a single report was received
during the past month that showed any
material complaint regarding the out
look for the wheat crop. In the CEN
trail Oregon section the outlook is the
best known. In Umatilla county and
the Walla Walla section the prospects
continue unusually favorable. In the
Palouse and Big Bend there is nothing
but good heard of the outlook. TAX
Ing the situation as whole, the out
look for the coming harvest could
scarcely be improved so far as wheat
Is concerned.
Similar condition is showing Tor
coarse grains in interior sections.
