New Fruit Plan Is Adopted.

Wenatchee, Wash. - 1t is probable
that the majority of the large tonnage
expected from the up-river country
this season will be packed out through
community or central packing sheds.
The system of cooperative packing
which has proven a success in Califor-
MIA and Oregon has received strong
impetus in 0kanogan county and the
large centers. IRA Cleveland, of the
Growers league, expert on central
packing, has returned from two
weeks campaign through the up-river
country. Growers like the new system.

Fruit Damage is Now Feared.

Marshfeld, Or. - Fear is felt here
for the fruit crop, particularly berries,
in the finish of the present storm,
which commenced five days ago. The
weather has been cold and much hail
has fallen at intervals. Strawberries
which are about coming into market
will be injured unless there is sudden
ending Of the storm. Nearly three
and half inches of precipitation is
the record for five days.

Neutral Trade Drops,

Washington, D. C.-Restrictions on
commerce by the British order in coun-

cause of sharp declines in American
exports to the Northern European neu-

commerce show that Norway alone of
the countries in the north had increas-
ed purchases in the United States.

MAYOR OF PARRAL WARNED
UNITED STATES TROOPS


Washington, April 19.-Gen. Per-
shing has reported that Mayor Her
rera of Parral warned against return
of American troops into that city.
Further firing of Carranzista soldiers
at Parral upon Americans has given
most striking evidence that they are
far from intellectually in aid of the
American expedition.
Sec'y Lansing is in position to ne
gotiate with Mexican Ambassador
Arredondo over withdrawal, but
neither side apparently is in any
great hurry.

Sending 1900 more troops into Mex

From Brownsville, Eagle Pass, Fa-

Apache, Ariz., additional troops are
to concentrate at Columbus and
swarm over the line to aid Gen. Per-
shing's men.
With completion of this move, de-
partment will be practically stripped
handful of troops are available from
other departments, and whether the
war department will order them for
guard along the border at the ex-
pense of other sections is matter of
conjecture.
Washington, April 1e.-Chief of
Staff Scott will leave tonight for San
Antonio to spend several days with
Gen. Funston in canVassing Mexican
situation.
SCOTS trip is at Sec'y Bakers re-
quest. It is made solely for purpose
of getting as accurate information as
is possible for use of the department,

Financial interests favOring inter-

result in Intervention. Government
operatives were trying to run down
definite clues along this line.

HARVESTING THE ONION.
Requires 40 Much Skill 40 In the
Growing.

noqUlFOe a. MUCH SIKH AZ In the
Growing.
The battle is only half fought when
the onions are grown. Properly har-
vest1ng the onion is just as important
and requires just as much skill as the
growing, says contributor to the
Farm Progress.
We have raised several kinds of on
ions, including some raised from the.
seed, the potato or multiplier onion and
the onions grown from cloves. We
find that they all require about the
same care in harvesting.
We used to make the mistake of top
ping our onions when the top was
green, and consequently large por-
ton Of them rotted. OF late years we
do not top them, but leave the top on
the onion till it drys up and drops off
Of its own accord.
Is We pull our potato onions when the
tops are yellow and have begun to dry
some. We leave them in small piles
till they are pretty well dried, stirring
them every day. They are then re-
moved to an old shed and spread thin
~ over the floor. This is dry, but well
ventilated. In a few weeks the top
will fall off when the onion is pick
ed up.
When the top is cut off too soon the
onions begin to get. soft in the neck
and soor spoil. By following the 9TH
er method they keep extremely well.
We treat our seed onions in like
manner unless~we are going to dispose
Of them at once. We let the tops cure
fairly well before pulling, and If in
tending to store them they are put in
q dry, well ventilated place to cure.
II not, we let them dry in the patch,
then top them not too closely and pack
Ia open crates for shipping.
The Glove onions are raised princi-
pally for the cloves. The cloves are
gathered when ripe and spread in
dry place or tied up In open sacks after
they are we'll cured
