SEVEN ACRES BRINGS
WENATCHFE MAN $4,000
Thomas SiSIer of WenatChe Sold Crop
for Cash on Delivery of Cars
Urges Several Reforms

Five thousand dollars for 5000 boxes
of apples from seven acres of orchard,
1000 boxes of this yield being Ben
Davis, the other 5000 boxes compris-
ing Spitz, Rome Beauty, Jonathan and
Winesap-this is what Thomas Sisler
of Wenatchee got for his 1918 apple
crop. He sold for cash and was paid
on delivery at the cars last fall. He
was one OF those who sold his orchard
run to a cash buyer. Some of the re-
forms he urges in the fruit association
work are:
The election OF new board of d.
rectors, all ranchers and having no
other business except fruit raising.
The pay of the directors to be re-
duced from SIS to So per day.
A dividend of at least per cent
allowed stockholders yearly.
Allow each grower to designate
through what agency he wants his
fruit sold, whether on the Clark plan,
the Distributors or any other agency.
Establish the unit voting system and
allow only shippers in the association
to vote for directors.
Have no stated price as commission
for selling the fruit, as it may cost
more under one system than under an
other.

-FOUR TONSssOF SUGAR is
SHIPPED BY PARCEL POST
OkanOgan Merchants Finds new System
Cheaper Than by freight-Can Save
II Cents on 100 Pounds

A merchant at Conconully, the
county seat of Okanogan county, has
discovered that it is cheaper to ship
sugar by parcel post than by freight.
Accordingly, he has ordered four tons
shipped from Seattle. The new rate
on 50-pound parcels, which went into
effect last Thursday will have revolu-
tionary effect in many sections.
The freight rate on 100 pounds
from Seattle to Conconully follows:
Seattle to Wenatchee, 80 cents; We
natchee to Brewster, so cents; Brew
ster to Okanogan, so cents; Okanogan
to Conconully, 40 cents, making to-
tai for freight Of $1.79. This freight
rate applies to such articles as sugar,
rice and practically all foodstuffs.
By parcel post 100 pounds can be
sent between these points for $1.08.
This means that instead of coming by
freight the sugar will come in 50-pound
lots by mail from Seattle to Wenatchee.
This four-ton lot of sugar will be de-
livered by mail to the wharf boats.
Again it goes by the mail on the c. &
o. company's boat to Brewster. From
Brewster it will be transferred to the
Brawster postofice; thence to the post
office at Okanogan; then it will be
toted by mail from Okanogan to the
postoffice at Conconully.
A prediction has been made that
this will practically put the mail con-
tractors out of business. Instead Of
having light rigs for transporting mail
it will be necessary to put on heavy
freight wagons.

call attention to the fact that, due TO
the ethics of the men who are univer-
sity executives, and who will not con-
slider the acceptance of position until
such a one is formally announced va

in order that new head for the Uni
versity might be chosen before the
new college year begins next fall.

Changing the Trees.

This spring the old apple trees
on the w. N. Yost orchard, bave
been removed to make way for
some new varieties, The old trees
consisted Of Northern Spy, New
town Pippin and Stark, and it has
been demonstrated that they do
not thrive here as in other local
tiles. The Northern Spy is a
great apple in the Hood River
valley, but the fact that it grows
we'll in one district does not insure
that in another it will pay The
new trees consist of Delicious and
Arkansaw Black. These are both
fine apples, and do especially we'll

Delicious is a new apple, 1T has
been tried out enough to indicate
that it will be great favorlte here
and Mrs. Yost says it is surely
