TO be- spent here by foreign countries

600 aeroplanes in use for war purposes,
and only about 10 or 90 machines IN

aeroplanes in use for war is that the

fast enough. The reason why there
are not more than 40 or % aeroplanes

EWING BROS. BEGIN WORK AT
BARHAM WAREHOUSE.
Expect to Ship Out Seven or Eight
Carloads to California and
Eastern Markets.

Ewing Brothers began packing ap-
piles at the Barham warehouse yes
terday morning for the Polk County
Fruitgrowers association and are al

girls in handling the fruit for them.
This years pack will be composed
principally of Kings, Baldwins and
Spitzenbergs, although some North
ern Spys, Ben Davis, King Davis
Winter Bananas and Rome Beauties
will be boxed.
The apple crop is quite large this
season with the color good and the
quality good where orchards have had
proper care. The quality on the
whole, however, will be that of the
average year.
Seven or eight carloads will be
packed by the firm, all of which are
shipped through the Western Oregon
Fruit Distributors association. Some
of the apples will go to California
and the balance to eastern markets.
1t is expected that it will take about
three weeks to conclude the pack, and
the first car will go out the fore part
of next week.
