The fact that either White Bonan-

six bushels per acre and Swedish Sc
leet eight bushels per acre, does not
mean that it will do this well in all
the counties of the west side. How
ever, these two varieties are well
..sAapted to the heavier soils or the
good oat producing sections.
The State college experiment sta
lion, located at Puyallup, has run
similar variety tests and find that
these two varieties do not outyleld
the other in that particular section
Of Western Washington.
The variety test run for period
Of four years at the Puyallup sta
ton, show Minnesota 2sl to lead IN

FIRST LOCAL APPLES
Another Version of an Old Story
of the Vancouver Apple Tree.

VANCOUVER, Wash: Two apples
were picked by A. A. Quarnberg
here recently from what is said to be
the Oldest apple tree in the Pacific
Northwest. The tree is 95 vars old
and is living monument to the ro-
mantle days when the Hudson's Bay
company ruled over a vast territory
within the United States.
Sailing around Cape Horn in 1926,
Hudson's Bay company employee ate
an apple. 1t seemed such delicious
apple after his long sea diet of salt
horse and bareback that he planned
to raise other apples like it in his
new home in the wilderness. He
dropped the seeds in his vest pocket
and forgot all about them. But they
were discovered by the tailor at Fort
Vancouver, to whom he turned over
mis- clothes to mend. The tailor gave
them to the gardener who planted
them and the trees that grew from
them were the ancestors Of the

Plant Good Seed.

Many home gardener is defeated
before he start by securing seed
from some source which is unreli-
able. Many failures among city gar
deners each year can be traced di-
rectly to the securing of seed from
neighbors who had at least a dozen
different varieties Of vegetables grow,
ing in their gardens at one time. The
seed from such a plot generally pro-
duces mongrel crops due to hybrid
izing of kindred crops. 1t is far
cheaper and a great deal safer for
the backlot gardener to purchase
clean, pure, fresh seed from some
reliable seed house which makes a
business of handling nothing but
good seed.

net operating incomes of the railroads
for May were $37.248.o00.o 900. an In
crease Of nearly ss.0o0.o00 compared

On the basis Of the tentative valuation
