makes no difference as to the age. We
have tried at several Y. M. G. AS but
nothin' doin'.
This is great to pitch pup tents UNI
der natures camouflage. 1t is quite
a change, for-you see our paths are
dark wherever we go. It's case of
knowing just where all the paths lead
to. The hands are used very much
in feeling the way thru the wilderness.
You surely have read about the
happenings during the past month or
so. We are in the midst of the game
and probably you know just about
where we are located. From the adj
dress you can make out the kind of
work this branch of the service is.
This army has made men out OF the
most of us. Some of them joined for
the money part, but none of us will
get rich by any means. L know for
myself that Iehave picked up and the
same for others. 1t isn't like playing
a game of foot ball or basketball
it's mans job to keep the world GO

Letters from the People

Editor Courier-R Reporter:
In these trying times with prices OF
everything advancing it may be re-
freshing to know that at least In one
instance prices have been reduced.
The Yakima Fruit Growers Associa-
ton has reduced warehouse charges
on apples and pears from 5 to 2 cents
per box. This will come no doubt as
surprise to its members. How is
this possible in the face of increasing
wages is not long story. With SUI
perior equipment for handling its
tonnage economically it was found pos
sible the past year to do the work for
much less than previously even after
paying higher wages. By applying
business principles in every depart
ment of its operations, at the close of
the business year June LIST, a very sub
stantial balance was shown and the
board wisely decided that the grow
ers should share in these savings.
Nor is this all the good news. Our
cold storage plant has proven an un-
qualified success, both as to its eff
ficiency in keeping the fruit and finan-
cially. Every foot of space not re-
quired by our members is eagerly
taken by independent shippers. Its
financial success thus being assured
the management has found it possible
to abandon the cents per box for
merly levied on all winter apples ship
ped, and storage will only be charged
on the fruit that actually goes into
storage. This means another 5 cents
per box to the grower on large part
of his crop, a saving that will be well
come .at this critical time. Not only
is the storage space in demand but the
ice plant is operating day and night
on contract that will keep it busy the
entire season.
A decided saving has also been made
in the sales department without in the
least impairing its efficiency, as ire
suits have amply shown. Our Big Y
brand is so well established in the
markets that many dealers prefer it to
any other out of the northwest. As
one dealer who has placed large or
| der expressed it: cit is the one de-
pendable brand" This reputation has
reduced our selling cost to the min
imum.
The preparations made by the grow
ers in years past thru the association
is proving most advantageous at this
time.

ELEVEN THOUSAND
CARS OF FRUIT
State Horticultural Commission,
er Issues August Estimate
of Tonnage

With the prediction that the fruit
yield of the Yakima district, which
includes Yakima, Kittitas, Benton and
Franklin counties, will be II, Ala car
loads, M. L. Dean, state horticultur-
al commissioner, has just issued his
monthly forecast of fruit conditions
thruout the state. Mr.. Dean estimates
that 1862 carloads will be apples and
2512 will be other fruits, mostly pears
and peaches. He estimates the total
fruit output of the Wcnatchee dis
trict, comprising Chelan, Okanogan,
Douglas and Grant counties, at 1904
carloads.
Extreme hot weather has caused
some burn during the spraying period
but thoro thinning should remove the
defects, scale-marked fruit and the
wormies," says the bulletin.
In the non-irrigated fruit sections,
the growth Of the fruit has been check
ed by the continual dry weather, and
consequently the percentage of small
sizes will be increased, but fungus
troubles have been reduced to the min
imum.
Berries and cherries brought very
satisfactory prices.
The apricot crop was light in some
districts, but prices were much better
than in former years. The future of
this industry is much encouraged by
the demand for the fruit by the cam
ming factories. In the Yakima Valley
a campaign has been inaugurated to
encourage the planting of several hum
dred acres of canning apricots and
cling peaches for factory use, the Lib
by, McNeal & Libby Canning company
being anxious to place contracts for
the fruits for ten to fifteen years.
Early peaches are bringing better
prices than in 1917. The demand ex-
ceeds the supply.
It is to be hoped that all fruit grow
ers have secured their supply OF boxes
for their 1913 crop.
One of the most important matters
to be brought to the attention of the
fruit and vegetable growers, shippers
and dealers at this time is the matter
of "mis-marking Of fruits" Based
upon complaints it seems to have be-
come a habit of placing large fruit
on the top of the packages and small
or inferior fruit at the bottom. One
dealer reports having received several
packs of apricots marked at 5x5 pack
ages and the bottom row contained
fruit about the size of Grow cherries.
It is evident from the above that
there have been some fragrant mis-
marking of packages and inspectors
must enforce the regulations more
drastically.
