The Increased Cost of fruit Boxes

Mr.. L. o. Taylor who attended the
meeting Of boxmakers. fruit grower:
and all those interested in food con-
servation in Portland last week, re-
turned Sunday full Of information. We
tapped the reservoir and learned that
agents Of the government attended the
meeting. Indeed, the meeting was
called at the instance Of the govern
ment, and was attended by box users
as we'll as box makers. The reason
for the increased cost OF boxes was dis
cussed quite ireelv, with the result
that those who have to buy boxes lett
the meeting, if not convinced that in
creased cost was inevitable, were at
least somewhat reconciled to the fact
that when everything else, including
labor cost, had very materially in
creased since last season, the fruit
growers must not expect apple boxes
to be an exception to what has become
a rule. The Great Northern Lumber
Co. is making every effort to supply
the apple growers Of the Wenatchee
valley with boxes and refuses to ship
boxes out of the district until the local
demand is supplied. It is estimated
that this valley will require from five to
six million apple boxes. To do its
full share in meeting this demand the
company is not only refusing to ship
boxes out of the district but is using
material for box making that would be
more valuable for lumber for the
business reason that they expect the
box demand to last indefinitely, and
increase from time to time, and the
company want the fruit growers to
know that their intention is always to
first take care OF the home trade. This
indicates sound business Judgment.
The present and future prosperity OF
the Wenatchee valley depends largely
on the prosperity Of the fruit industry.
In this connection it is not out Of
place to assure the apple growers that
the Leavenworth Box Co., under the
management Of Mr.. w. E. Biles, is
running on full time since last week,
devoting all its efforts to making fruit
boxes. The Peshastin Lumber Co.,
operating at Blewett, under the
management OF Mr.. J. c. Biles, is also
devoting its energy to making fruit
boxes, so that we feel confident in
assuring the fruit growers Of this valley
that their box wants will be fully and
promptly met.

Possibilities OF AN ACRE.
So far a. Is Known, No One Has
Been Able to Make X Work to
the Limit Of Its Powers.

Does anyone know the possibilities
Of an acre Of land? Has an acre Of
soil, like the machine, its limitations?
Who is ready to say how many tons
| Of hay or bushels of grain an acre
can produ. ;? So far. we do not know
OF anyone w, !, has been able to make
the acre work t. the limit of its powers
or to fathom its hidden possibilities
There is bound up in lump OF soil
much history and mant Mysteries Of
the world. much Of which 1.e. has
never been able to unfold. Too man.
farmers have treated their soil as
though tt were uninteresting and not
full Of charm and fascination.
In the book entitled Letters Of an
Old Farmer to His Son." we came
across these paragraphs: "That's what
I IKE in the soil. Though we've been
working with It through unnumbered
thousands OF years, no man since the
beginning has ever found the limita.
tons OF single square rod. In the
very nature Of things. no man will
ever discover the utmost end Of the
soil's power when to its own fertility
he adds fertile mind" Yes, it is
the trained mind that comprehends the
charm and wonders of the land; It is
the fertile brain that looks forward to
the possibilities Of the soil and can
see its powers strengthen as the COM
prehension OF man broadens.
We quote again. from this book:
IAN acre Of land is pretty much like
the heart Of a good friend. 1t is an
everlasting challenge to you to show
the best that's in you: it's everlast-
ingly rich in surprises for you. It's
an everlasting invitation to you to do
with 1t what you will and to take from
it as you need; and there's everlast-
ing certainty that it holds great treas
ures always in reserve for you. He
must be man OF little understanding
who will dare to say that he has ex-
hausted all knowledge Of the potent
secrets Of the mereSt handful of earth. |

STORY OF sEAeoINe STEER
N Ftoa4od ArovN6 New York t1avbes
~ Many Nsvrs aad Causes Mvch
Excitement Before 0ooevot.

Several longshoremen were bitina
into thick sandwiches Of garlic On the
water front when there came Q prodi-
gious humping on the plank under
meath. The floor Of the pier gave forth
q hollow sound
One OF the longshoremen, the Brook
Ign Eagle testifes, swallowed his gar
lie the wrong way and let out Polish
exclamation. Then he bent over and
applied his eyes to q crack In the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything in the murk, but at length
pair Of green eyes met his Mortified
gaze, 1t seemed, to his untutored mind,
conclusive evidence Of a personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the planking and q long tail
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest of the longshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner into
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story. as their
knees smote one against another and
their hands CROPPED feebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first it was a case of greenhouse"
whisky, but he finally sent man down
to investigate. The patrolman found
that the apparition was only a steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. OBJ
viOusly he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll it over barrel Nor
could he give it an antidote for poison.
At last he had bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being at dock and therefore,
per Sc a fit subject for the dock de-
partment.
The dock department responded-or
part Of it did-with saws. Then having
opened a nice round hole in one of the
city's docks, it's work was done, and 1t
sent for the s. p. C. A. The s. r. G. A.

Some brave man passed q rope
around the middle of Taurus and every

the steer and stood dripping on the
dock with the seaweed hanging from
his tanks.
This steer is supposed to have been
