THE APPLE SITUATION.

Cold storage representatives
from Missouri and Arkansas
met recently in Springdale with
the Frisco Department Of Devel-
cpment and Marketing and fruit
growers to discuss the storing
and marketing Of the 1916 apple
crop. While the meeting result
I'd in no definite plans much good
was accomplished in the way of
a better understanding between
Ill interests on the questions dis
cussed. w. l.. English, speaking
for the Frisco Departments, urg-
ed more intelligent cooperation
between all interests to the end
that only the better quality Of
stock be stored. He urged cold
storage men to cut down the
storing of poor stuff, stating that
this practice had, especially last
year, tended to ruin the price on
No. / stock.
A. p. Boles, horticultural agent
of the Frisco, estimated the APP
pie crop in the Arkansas region
at so per cent to 90 per cent of
last year which, ON an average
Of say ten years, would be con
sIdered about 80 per cent Of nor
NAL lie stated that the percent
age Of culls would be greater
on account Of scab but predicted
that the amount stored this year
would be about normal and not
much affected by culling. lie
stated that the fruit was we'll dis
tributed on the trees and would
be a little larger in size than last
year and that some OF the lead
ing orchards would show an in
crease. His estimate for South
west Missouri, outside Of Greene
county was $4,000 barrels.
c. d. Mclllroy, cold storage
operator at Fayetteville, stated
that he would discourage more
than ever the storing of poor
stuff. He quoted the sliding

nation ON packing and market
ing the crop.
c. d. McIllroy stated that meth
DDS of growing and packing the
Ozark apple in Arkansas had I'M
proved at least 300 per cent the
past ten years.
Prof. w. II. Wicks. from the
Experiment Station. referred to
| the educational work OF his de-
partment in behalf Of better
grade and pack Of the Ozark ap-
pie He stated the time had come
when growers must study or
chard economics and know the
cost of producing a box or bar
rel of a given variety. He call
ed attention of the growers to the
new standard barrel, which holds
three bushels, one and one-eighth
pecks, stating that all short bar
rels, such as one-third, one-half
and three-fourths must be prop
erty marked to show contents.
He regarded this section as one
Of the most favorable for grow
ing quality apples stating that
two-thirds of the growers trout
bles might be simmered down to
faulty methods of grading and
packing their fruit. The Spring
dale Commercial Club entertain
ed those present at dinner and in
the afternoon the orchards in
this vicinity We're inspected and
methods Of the successful grow
ers noted. The Packer man
found the orchards in this sec
ton we'll cultivated and cared
for. Suitable cover crops are
grown, soil fertility conserved
and up-to-date methods noted
in the majority of orchards.
ISpringdale proper will ship about
$50 ears of apples this year

WHAT SPRINGDALE
WANTS TO KNOW.
The Answer Is Found in the
Statement of a Springdale
Resident.

From week to week, from year
to year, there have been appear
ing in these columns statements
made by neighbors, which we
have all read with great interest,
and many of us with great profit.
But what we want to know is,
do they stand the greatest test
of all-the test of time? Here is
conclusive evidence on this point
from a Springdale woman:
Mrs. L. Fischer, Holcomb St,
&pringdale, says: 4 suffered
for months from distressing back
ache, pains through my kidneys,
headaches, dizzy spells and a
tired, languid feeling. Ny kid
cys gave me a great deal of an
Inoyanee and the kidney see
Iretions were unnatural. a cou-
Iple of boxes Of Doan' s Kidney
Pills cured me. " Statement Civ
en- April %, 1911.
OVER TWO YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Fischer said: 4 firmly be-
lieve that Doan 5 Kidney Pills
have given me a permanent cure.

varieties and stated that he would
consider the sliding scale for the
whole season and was in favor of
the concerted effort on the part
of storage men, stating that
through cooperation all interests
could be better served. He urg-
ed the growers to put up uni
form we'll graded pack, both in
box and barrel, in order to com
pete with other sections in the
southwestern market
MED. Batter, representing
the Rogers Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION. asked the cold storage
interests of Northwest Arkansas
to make the same sliding scale
storage rate for this section that
was in effect elsewhere. The
rate desired was 25c for first
month, he for tie second month";
Zoe for third month and soc for
the season. In urging this rate
he showed how il would encour-
age the grower TO dispose Of
part Of his crop during the early
winter and=be the means of NOV
ing the storage stock gradually
during the whole season. Mr.
Batter urged the growers to store
only No. stock, stating that
it should be graded as to size,
with label on the box showing
the number Of apples contained
therein and the variety. Mr..
Batter followed this plan, selling
five cars Of boxed stock, Bens
and Ganos at Soc and S1.10 in
Texas, during the past season
and said he would not be able
to fill his orders this year.
Link Coleman, Of Marionville.

being erected at Marionville, stat
ing that his company would make
the sliding scale storage rates
similar to those in effect else
where. lie stated that the grow
ers Of his district packed only No
/ stock in barrels, the rest going
IN bulk. The fancy box trade, he
said, was small as compared to
the barrel movement. He welcom-
ed the assistance given by the
Frisco and told of the benefits
received in his community by the
information disseminated regard
ing rowing and cultural methods.
A. p. Boles stated that the
Frisco advised storing only No
| stock and possibly a little No.
2, urging the growers to move ev-
erything else to meet the expense
of growing the crop.
W. w. Wooden, of the Frisco,
urged the growers to use a label
showing the grade and number
Of apples and urged that only
No. / or fancy stock be placed
in barrels and boxes for the
southwestern trade.
W. B. Brogdon, prominent
grower at Springdale. stated that
he had had no trouble in selling
his crop. Long ago he establish
ed grade No. |, and No. ,. la
beled. and sold what he repre-
scented his crop TO be. He urged
grading, stating that the profit,
50 far as he was concerned, de-
pended on grading his apples
and believed in giving the trade
what it wanted.

cool, moist soil, the seed will rot
before it will terminate and a poor
stand viii be the result. That is one
difficulty the farmers had last year
they could not get stand of feterita
because the ground was too cool.
at is better not to start planting
in the spring until three weeks after
the regular corn planting time-May
Is to June 1. Under good growing
conditions the crop will easily ma
ture during the season. In fact from
80 to 100 days is sufficient time for
the crop to mature in usual season.
Feterita is an exceptionally good crop
for western Kansas, but in eastern
Kansas the regular black hulled kafir
is better. All the sorghums are apt
to contain prussic acid, which is pois-
onous If the plants are stunted in
growth due to drouth or frost. They
are then unsafe to pasture. This is
true of feterita as we'll as of the
other sorghums."

GRASS

Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelion of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
the minute tenants of that mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
are of grass; and when the fitful few
er is ended and the foolish wrangle
of the market and the forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent in the bosom Of
the earth has made, and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket of
the dead. Grass is the forgiveness
Of nature-her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, satur-
ated with blood, torn with the ruts
of cannon, grow green again with
grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown, like rural lanes and are
obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. Beleagured by the sullen
hosts of winter, 1t withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds,

FETERITA DRY WEATHER CROP

Feterita has demonstrated its
worth as a dry weather crop and will
become an important factor in Kan
sas agriculture. 1t is not adapted
to cold wet weather and consequent
ly is not recommended for growth in
the eastern third of the state.
"Feterita is an exceptionally good
crop for western Kansas but in east
ern Kansas the regular black hulled
kafir is better" says L. E. Call, pro-
lessor of agronomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. "In dry
season this crop will prove satisfac-
tory farther east. The acreage in
Kansas has been increasing rapidly,
but a decrease is predicted for this
year because of the disappointment
experienced last season due to the alb
normally cool and wet weather. We
have been warning farmers in east
ern Kansas against planting feterita
on account of its inability to stand
an excess of moisture.
ut is crop that is drouth resist
ant and has the ability to Withstand
long seasons of dry weather and to
keep developing under those condi-
lions. The white shale soil of south
eastern Kansas seems to grow feter-
ita better than kafir or corn, and
with the exception of extreme in
stances, feterita will do better than
any other row crop upon these soils.
"A mistake that great many
farmers make is to plant feterita too
early in the spring. The ground must
be warmed up thoroughly before a
crop is planted. If it is planted in

being agitated. Whether any good
will come from this periodical off,
year agitation of the question is hard
to tell because about the time the
matter gets before the legislature the
judges over the state will turn lob
byists and defeat 1t. But such bill
ought to be passed. Some of the
Kansas judges are overworked; in
other districts the judges actually do
not work ninety days in the whole
year. These smaller districts should
be consolidated and at least ten of
the district judges legislated out Of
Office; or to put 1t more properly,
their districts should be abolished.
The taxpayers could save 100000 a
year by this and 1t is an economy that
should be Neutrality-suspicious.
