Washington State Items.

The value of cold storage in the
handling of the fruit crop is demon
strated by report made by the hor-
shows that growers who marketed
through the union this year and held
their pears in storage profited to the
extent of $4,000 on 25 carloads.
R. D. Jarboe, state grain inspector,
states that profits derived by farmers
from the sale of grain during the
present year promise to surpass those
of 1915, when the bumper crop of the
state was harvested.
The total production for the state
this year is estimated at 41,528,O61
bushels, or 80 per cent of the produc-
ton of 1915, which was $685.
bushels. This includes grain privately
handled and stock kept for seed.
1T is evident that the farmers held
back a large part of the 1915 crop
in expectation of better prices" Mr..
Jarboe states. with receipts of
35,62S,O61 bushels up to date for 1916,
plus carry over of 9,389,3O9 bushels
and 100000 bushels more represent
ed by deliveries yet to come and ship
ments through private warehouses,
we can duplicate last years grain
shipments and still have surplus of
100000 bushels. AS the wheat has
been selling this year at the highest
average prices known in Washington,
ranging up to $3.50 at interior points,
the money value of the 1915 business
surpasses anything in the previous
history of the state"

that fund of $5OO,OOO,0OO collected
