10000 Guardsmen in Picture.
Some idea of the size of the offer

OF the many factors destined to

Practically the entire coast is depend

According to circular just issued
by the department, it appears that
there were 1875 per cent more apples

the same date last year. This esti-
mate is based upon the statements
Of 500 firms which reported for the
two periods. The capacity of the
plants represented is approximately
7,9o6,S3S barrels, and their apple hold

Banana By-Products.

The methods of inspecting and load
ing bananas hitherto used at the ports
where they are shipped have been ex-
ceedingly wasteful. Great quantities
Of the fruit are thrown overheard, one
bunch because it is little bruised,
another because 1t has grown toe
loosely, another because 1t has less
than eight hands" Stock will eat
green bananas, but the amount
thrown into the bay at Port Limon
alone, for example, is enough to feed
five times the head Of stock in the
place and all the people as well.
When the problem Of utilizing this
waste was first taken up, many state
ments had obtained currency to the
effect that bananas were remedy for
tuberculosis; and it was in the belief

systematic Farming Results.


An exhaustive report has just been
issued by the Northern Pacific on it's
experimental farm at Cunningham
Wash, which was established in 1913.
The results given were brought about
by W. w. Halle, the owner, working
under instructions of Thomas Shaw
and his assistant, e. A. Wilson. One
of the principal objects sought was to
discover methods that would effective
ly prevent the blowing of the soil and
another to prevent weeds from dam
aging growing grain.
That the following method of tillage
is one of the best to adopt to prevent
volcanic ash soils from blowing and
to reduce weed growth at the same
time: Disc the land in the autumn
for summer fallow and again in the
spring after weeds have sprouted.
Plow before the moisture has so far
left the land that it cannot be made
cloddy. Follow the pillow with the
packer and do not harrow. This will
leave the surface covered with small
clods which ordinarily will prevent
blowing. This will certainly prevent
blowing in wind storm of ordinary
force.
That after summer fallow has been
thus packed the aim should be to dis
turb the soil as little as possible, sub
sequently weeds that will certainly
grow can be kept down by the jul
dicious use Of the Cheney rod weeder
or the Faulkner spring tooth harrow,
both of which are supposed to leave
the surface somewhat rough. They
may also be kept down very effect
lively by keeping on the land band
of sheep, but these should not be kept
on any volcanic ash soil long enough
to powder the surface with fine soil.
The financial statement which fol-
lows, besides showing what can be
done under scientific management and
conditions adverse in some respects,
is a correct and model statement for
farmers in general, and The Trade
suggests that it's readers recommend
their own use:

nine miles an hour, SO that logs will
be carried from the head of the flume
to the Pend Oreille river in about half
an hour. They will be towed from the
mouth of the flume to the mill.
