who believe they have n grievance

THE COMING CONFERENCES

That the American people are

the world is to become an armed

and strength OF the world for arm

have relief.

people OF America repudiated the

NORTHWEST APPLE TREES
LEAD COUNTRY IN YIELD
with Fewer Trees Washington,
Oregon and Idaho Surpass East
ern and Southern States Ac-
cording 10 Records

Northwestern states hold the a2-
pie supremacy of the country--and
OF the world-because tree for
tree, the Northwestern orchards are
the finest, although not the largest,
in the country.
This was the statement made to-
day by ID. ID. Olds, director OF ex-
hibits OF the Pacific Northwest
Fruit Exposition, which is to be
held at the Bell Street Terminal In
Seattle from November 81 to 26.
Figures which we have prepared
for use at the exposition" Mr.. Olds
explained, SHOW that more apples
are produced by every tree In the
Northwest that by trees In any other
section of the country.
For instance, although Washing
toms apple crop in 1919 was al
56S, ,691 bushels, as against 1880.
317 for New York, there were 81
636, ,69S bearing apple trees In New
York while Washington had only
7,064,167. Virginia, with 7,3S5,277
trees-virtually the same number
as ington--produce only s.
942,520.
"The other Northwestern states
show to equal advantage. oregon,
with but 3,315,093 bearing trees,
had a crop OF 21,284. while Ken
lucky, with 3,742,936, produced on
ly 1,2so,54s bushels; North Caro-
lima, with 3,474,S21 trees, produced
only 1898, S,03S; West Virginia, with
5,554.731 trees, had a crop OF only
4,1Se,162 bushels, and Pennsyl-
vania, with 6.9S1.12S trees, produc-
ed but 5.556,138 bushels.
Idaho. which had only 2,3s0,523
producing trees In 1920. had crop
OF 3,645,640 bushels the year pre-
vious, while Iowa with 2,996,469
bearing trees. could produce only
i,Si0,443 bushels"

There are men in the employ OF
the Power company who know that
the ranchers cannot make a living

cannot run the farms, either, and
that makes the situation impossible.

DON'T WAIT TO BE URGED

Undoubtedly there are many, who
In the past years have been the very
best supporters of the American Red
Cross in It's wonderful work for the
needy and the suffering, who will

the past have not given more than
that stipend who could give more,
take out a few more memberships
for their family; who have Just LET
the matter go when the solicitor

Conditions this year, therefore are
such that those who can should
give freely. for the work OF the
Red Cross will perhaps be greater
than ever this winter. There will
be more need for help in more quar-
ters.
The work Of the Red Cross Is SO
great, so broad, so humanitarian
that II needs no eulogy. It's record
stands for itself. Let those who
can. remember the need and their
