STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Careful estimates made by the Of
ficials of the Great Northern railway
throughout the entire Wenatchee ap-
pie district convince them that at
least 1900 more cars of aples remain
in the district to be shipped out be-
fore the close of the season. Up to
November Is, a total of 500 cars OF
apples have been forwarded out Of
the Wenatchee district.
Yakima valley fruit shipments to
date in 1918 represent a value of
$S,353, 400, of which over 100000 is
the value fixed for 1000 cars of winter
apples. Fruit experts estimate 5000
cars of apples remain to be moved,
thus bringing the value of the years
crop to about $S.O0O,O00. This will
equal the value Of the 1917 bumper
crop, though less by 1000 cars.
Sugar beet growers of the Yakima
valley were November Is paid the
sum of $4,000 as the first monthly
payment for beets by the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, which pays for the
beets delivered on the 18th of each
month. But few of the beets have
been harvested, and it is estimated
that the December Is payment will
amount to $450,00O. The amount paid
represents 1000 tons of beets, approx
imately the crop from $50 acres.
