Thursday Night.

Information received from the
training camps Of Al Ventres, Of Ber-
lin, and "Dutch'' Kent, Of Hartford,
who meet in the star bout or the
wrestling matches in Turner hall on

The Ventres- Kent match is, without
doubt, the most important one ever
staged in this city. By virtue or his
previous victories over Nentres, the
Capital City lad is the favorite, but
the blacksmith constable is filled with
confidence that the coming fray will
end in his favor. The bout is to be
to a finish, the best two falls out Of

Naturally this took all the fight out
of me and the rest of our crop was
marketed through the jobbers. The
total sales for the 5000 bushels were
$4,000. But these apples cost the
consumer more than $4,000.
l had a new scheme for the ensuing
year. / advertised in the papers of
several towns that we would deliver
fancy No. apples to the homes Of the
people, with the privilege of inspection
before paying, express prepaid, for So
a bushel. At that same time the usual
retail market price was more than 81.
We also sent circulars to the people
whose names appeared in the tele-
phone books. AS a result of this cam
paign we sold less than 600 bushels,
which did not pay for the cost of the
advertising. Evidently the housewife

she has little faith.
Since then we are going on raising
the best apples we know how to pro-
duce. We prune and plow and fer
tilize. We spray carefully. We pick
by hand with the utmost solicitude.
Our apples are large and free from
bitter rot and other blemishes.
But we sell them through the job
bers, and we receive an average of
So bushe1 even now with the prevail
ing high prices, and these same apples
cost the retail dealers twice that sum.
The difference goes into the rapaciouS
and never-Satiated nav Of the men
who do nothing to raise fruit or to
sell it or to put any real value into it;
but who live on the efforts of the other
two real 1aborers. I think that they
ought to spell their names with an ini-
tial r instead of J.
But they have on their side antiquity
and religious prestige. For even way
back in the time Of the Garden of
Eden there was there an apple tree.
Eve tended this tree and watched it's
fruit. When it was ripe she presented
it to Adam. Thus Eve was the pro-
ducer and Adam the consumer. But
that was not all. Even there was to
be found the middleman; the Bible
calls him by a more characteristic
name.

Educated. Clerks.

Two Terre Haute school teachers,

recently clerking in a Chicago bakery.
One day they sold several articles to
two customers. The bill came to ex-
actly 90 cents and both were elated, be-
cause of the size of the sale. They
were further elated when they heard

one as they left the store: "They

and true assistant. The week before
the JOnathans were to ripen I visited
every grocery store in the city, large
and small, and offered to deliver to

l wired to the farm to ship them, and
gave the express company the names
and addresses of the consignees.
About ten o'clock in the morning of
the second day the express company
telephOned me to come down at once.
I did so, and there found all my ap-
pies but 100 boxes, piled in the hot
depot. Every shipment except one had
been refused by the dealers. They
had not even opened them for inspec-
tion, and in most cases had refused to
let them be unloaded from the delivery
wagons.

this extraordinary behavior. My first
inquiries were unsuccessful the deal

jobbers of the city had sent an agent
to see them the day before and told
them that if they took my apples as
agreed, the jObbers would refuse them
further "courtesies"-whic meant
they could buy no more fruit from
the regular wholesale dealers. In self
protection, therefore, the retailers had
to decline my shipments. The one who
had dared to disobey this drastic or
der from the overlords was the
largest retail firm in the city, which
also conducted a wholesale depart
ment, and had taken the apples in that
side of their business.
Still unconquered, but feeling mighty
weakened, went to the jobbers direct.
The first man who learned my name
turned on his heels from me and
slammed the door of his office in my
face. The next one told me with an
oath that he couldn't do business with
me. So it went along the row till at
last by giving a fictitious name and
even denying that I was myself, l
found two jobbers who would take the
apples, to be sold on the morrow on
commission.
The next morning I attended the
sale Of my own apples on the sidewalk
in front Of the wholesale house. I
saw the apples sold at prices ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50, and I felt quite
reconciled to my fiasco. But when I
came in for settlement their books
showed that no box had sold for more
than $1.50, and their clerks all de-
clared that to be the case. I was Of
fered and had to accept that sum, less
their commission of 25 per cent.

and read all the pamphlets issued by
the national government and the state
on this subject and correspondent with
successful apple growers. By spring
I felt myself competent to assume con-
troll. Under my direction we pruned
and plowed the orchard and sprayed
at what we thought the proper time.
We had a large crop-or what seemed
to me large one-picking more than
1000 bushels of apples. They were,
however, of poor grade and affected
with bitter rot and San Jose scale,
while the curculio moth made heavy
ravages. My net income was $500.

sary to appeal for help. l did so.
Upon the suggestion of the state
board of agriculture secured the serv-
ices Of a young man just graduated
from the college of agriculture, where
he had spent four years in studying
fruit raising, particularly apples. He
came to the farm in January and I
at once put him in complete charge.
He knew his business. believed in
him from the start. To watch him
prune the trees was an inspiration. He
took the utmost care not to infect
one tree from another using aseptic
solutions with his tools. He cut the
trees till / feared there would be lit
tie left But most of all to be ad-
mired was his method of determining
when and how to spray. From the
various trees he cut cultures which he
forced to grow in fruit jars, and
watched them for the development of
the various kinds of diseases. With
this knowledge he set his time for
spraying, and mixed his ingredients to
fit the special cases.
1u0 result was ASTOUNDING CndC very
year we harvested more than 5000
bushels of apples, and more than three
fourths of them were of first grade.
My old farmer neighbors who had
laughed ut the college feller" who
ran my orchard, now came and admit
ted that he was right and asked him
to give them suggestions with their
own fruit.
But not yet had I succeeded; for
learned that it was not enough to
know how to raise superior apples. I
must also learn how to market them.
We sold them through the usual chan
nels of the jobbers in the large cities,
and our income for the whole season
was but slightly more than $1,000
just 20 cents a bushel on the average
for first-class fruit.
The jObbers reported to us that our
shipments came at a time of glutted
markets, or were so badly damaged on
the way that they had to be sacri-
feed. One carload Of Jonathans
which I had carefully selected and
packed myself, knowing that not a
