in which Mr.. Johnson calls attention t
a very acute situation that prevails il
Ardmore. Oklahoma, June 3, 1921.
II. A, Chandler, NJ. c.,
Washington, d. c.,
Have just returned from visit to
McAlester and find large per cent
age Of coal mines shut down, thou
sands of miners out OF work due TO
fact that low price of fuel ell as
result Of Mexican imports is causing
majority Of industrial consumers OF
coal TO convert plants TO oil. All
Texas lines Of Katy now operating
on Mexican fuel displacing thous-
ands of tons daily Of Oklahoma coal.
Santa Fe are converting balance OF
their system to oil and they have
shut down all their mines in Meal
ester district. Local refinery has
just sold 100 carloads fuel oil to an
Oklahoma railroad for "A cents a
barrel, which is equivalent to price
$3.50 ton at mines for coal. Imports
Of Mexican oil which Is very largely
fuel has absolutely demoralized fuel
oil industry. This accounts for fact
that gasoline has not dropped in
price as fast as crude. Refineries
= are now getting but one sixth as
much for fuel oil as a few months
ago while gasoline Is bringing at
refinery between so and 60 per cent
what II formerly did. Practically all
refineries are now operating at loss
principally due TO demoralized fuel
market. Fifty per cent mid CONT
nent refineries now shut down. I'M
port tax on oil would stabilize fuel
market and would allow cheaper
price of gasoline to consumers. Ca.
madam government fosters oil in
dustry Of that country by paying q
liberal bounty for every barrel of
oil produced in dominion as well as
levying import tax on refined pro
ducts. Oil producers In America do
not ask for government bounty but
feel justified in demanding import
tax sufficiently high to allow them
TO operate. II present condition is
not remedled it is likely to eventu.
ally result in majority Of independ-
ent producers and refiners passing
into hands Of bigger interests. Is 1t
not to ultimate interest Of con-
suming public that independents
should be allowed TO continue TO
operate instead Of being forced out
Of business by foreign competition?

Let's Get Acquainted With .e
The Produce Company Staff

our telephone customers that he
rarely ever fails to send the goods
to the right party, even though they
forget to give their names:
Tom Soth is the boy with the red
hair. He is very pleasant and &C.
commodating and when not busily
engaged waiting on trade, he takes
care of the meat department. - A..
George Stevenson works with
Gordon and with the aid Of the
Overland, delivers the goods.
Roy johnson is stock clerk and is
kept busy replenishing the shelves,
and Saturday is the only day that
he has chance to get acquainted
with the trade. -
g Henry Neel is manager of the
feed department. Hank has been
with the. Produce Company a long
time, and is not only well known,
but very well liked. If there is
anything you want to know about
feed and poultry supplies, ask Hank
he knows.
Harry Russell is our shipping
clerk. Certainly no one on the staff
shows more enthusiasm over his
job than Harry does.
Mr.. Bockstruck is the largest man
on the force, and his knowledge of
seeds, bee supplies, incubators, ETC.,
makes him a valuable man in the
feed department.
Buck Craver is salesman in
the feed department. He also UNI
derstands implements and puts in
much of his time in that depart
ment.
S. H. Sudler, always called "Sud"
has complete charge of the nipple
ment department. If you are look
ing for information about imple-
ments you can do no better than
to talk to Sudler.
Bill Sly works in the implement
department, and has been busy the
past few days over-hauling spray
machines.
Gene Killmer is the big good ma
tured fellow that drives our Inter-
national truck.
This is all of them, and to help
you get better acquainted we will
endeavor to publish brief sketch
on one individual each week.

First comes the president, Mr.
Carl Williams. Most everyone
knows Carl, as he has lived in
Horse Heaven for years.
E. M. Sly, our manager, certain
ly needs no introduction to the PEG.
pie of Kennewick. You will always
find him in his office skillfully
manipulating the dope sheet to
keep the ball rolling.
Frank Lincoln is another old
timer and treasurer of the COM
pany, and can spend the money
faster than all the rest of the staff
can bring it in.
Sherman Whiting is our auditor,
and is surely rightly named for he
is a wizard when it comes to find
ing our mistakes.
Mr.. Bliss, who is known to most
of the patrons of The Produce
Company, is again back in the fam
lily, and is taking care of our books.
India Domes as stenographer
writes all of our letters.
Miss Lundstrom and Miss Young
work in the cashiers box, and all
the cash and charge sales are hand
led by them.
Ellen Richardson is our billing
clerk and has charge of all. the mail
orders.
v. o. Price is the manager of the
grocery department. You can't
bother Price, and if you have any
grocery troubles, tell them to him.
Don Campbell is the tall clerk
with the auburn hair. Besides be-
ing an exceptionally good clerk,
Don buys all the candy, and has
charge of that department.
Howard Springstead, commonly
called Mike" is our vegetable man,
and that he is on the job is very
evident by the fine display of fresh
fruits and vegetables he has on
hand at all times.
Joe Kcolker is the shortest clerk
with an abundance of "pep," He is
city salesman and has charge of
the cookie and cracker depart
ment.
Merritt Gordon has charge of
the city deliveries and answers the
telephone. He is SO familiar with

BE FRANK WITH US

We sometimes have a customer
suddenly quit buying goods of us.
When it is possible we go to him or
her and ask frankly, "what is the
matter"
They generally come back at us
equally as frank and tell us straight
from the shoulder just what the
matter is. This is exactly what we
want to know, for if any depart
ment of this business has failed
you, we want to know it.
The fact that this store is not
perfect, is surely not due to any
lack Of effort on our part. We
want to make it so. Every year
finds us grown out of last years
clothing, and working harder to
hold our old customers and get
new ones.
Put yourself in our place for a
minute, remember none of us are
perfect, and few, if any, never make
mistakes. If we have mistreated
you In any way, tell us about it.
Give it to us shot off the bait and
we will try to make amends and not
make the mistakes again.

There is no cream in cream of
tartar, in cold cream or in choco-
late creams, no milk in milk of
magnesia, in milk-weed, or in the
cocoanut. These are all as remote
from the COW as the cowslip.
There is no grape in grapefruit
or bread in bread-fruit. A pineap-
pie is neither pine nor apple; a
prickly pear is not pear; an ALI
gator pear is neither a pear nor an
alligator; and a sugar plum is not
a plum.
Apple butter is not butter. All
the butter is taken out Of butter
milk, and there is none in butter
nuts or in buttercups, and the flies
in the dairy are not butterflies.

Nitrate Agencies Co., i
Seattle, Wash. -. !
Dear Sirs: 49,. f. +.
Your letterhead reads, Nitrate
for Profit" and such is surely the
case as I was able to demonstrate
this past season. I
/ have been using Nitrate of
Soda on an orchard fertilizer for
four years, that is in small way
on experimental plots of a few
trees but last year I leased an APP
pie orchard of fifteen acres of
Spitzenburg and Newton trees, fiji
teen years Of age. This orchard
had never had a crop of any great
amount and it was said by a great
many people that it never would.
Nitrate of Soda was applied to
these trees at the rate of five
pounds per tree, this was scattered
broadcast at about the spread Of
the branches around each tree and
the entire orchard was so covered
except for check trees which were
left at various places in the or
chard. This fertilizer was applied
on March 20, and the orchard was
in full bloom on May 10.
Every tree in the orchard
bloomed heavily; that is, both check
and fertilized trees, but on the
check trees the apples fell off in
June until the trees at picking time
averaged less than one box per
tree but on the fortified trees not
an apple fell ard it was necessary
to make two Trimmings of the fruit.
On the fortified trees the crop
averaged ten boxes per tree and the
total cost per box including labor
and material was only three cents.
Adjoining orchards that received
no fertilizer all acted as my check
trees.
Yours very truly,
EARL s. COE,
Horticultural Inspector.
