APPLE MARKET
IS STRONGER
Percentage of Shipments Higher
Than Last Year-Price
Advances.

An advance of from 25 cents to so
cents box has become apparent in
wholesale apple prices since the mid
die of last month. Winesap extras at
$3.50, Newtowns at 81 to $215 and
Rome Beauties at s2.15 are the ruling
brands and prices in the market.
The advance has been slow but
steady. Most of the present activity
in the apple market began to be felt
Immediately after the freeze in Cal
ifornia on January 20.
C. F. Karkalits of the Earl Fruit
company, in outlining the technical
position of the market, says: 1.-The
eastern crop last fall was short. We
had an extraordinary crop IN the
northwest. There has been no short
age of apples, because the two crops
have balanced each other. However,
the eastern apples have been used up
and the eastern trade is turning from
their barrel packages to boxed apples
from the northwest. This has resulted
in unusually heavy orders for this sec
ton during the last two weeks. ON
top of this, it is fact that while the
Wenatchee district this season pro-
duced about 10000 carloads of apples,
1000 cars more than the normal crop,
all the producers took the precaution
to move their apples as largely as pos
sible before cold weather set in.
1.-THE result has been that by Janu-
arv 1 about 65 per cent of the crop IN
this district had been shipped. Ordl-
narily not more than So per cent OF the
crop has been distributed by the hrst
of the year. There has been, there
fore. a slight shortage of apples 10
supply a larger than usual demand
from this territory.
within the next six weeks the en-
tire crop will have been cleaned up
Present quotations are expected 10
hold till the end fthis seasons mar
ket. with the possible exception OF a
few well-preserved cars Of Winesaps'
which may bring higher prices"

THE OLD CIDER-MILL
Poem by Uncle John"

On evenings like this, as | sit IN
the cleaning, my memry goes back,
as ones memory will; I will give 1t
full sway in it's erratic roaming, until
It lands plump at the old cider-mlll-
the mill Of my Dad, in the old apple
orchard-the only machinery the old
man possessed; it ground up the
rculls" and it squoze out the nectar,
that thrills me this minute, down I'M
? der my vest. That old cider
mill was the pride of my boyhood,
though SNUG yellow-jackets contested
my right, and sometimes ] landed an
angry bald-hornet, that taught me too
well how devil can fight 5
I've sat on the fence in supreme con-
temptation, and scratched my brown
leg, as lazy kid willard longed for
bumper of liquid imitation that oozled
oetfmes, from that old moonshine stflts
That old apple-grinder, taat staunch
Old stem-winder, that dealt out the
Juice, like an old moonshine still.

PUREBRED SIRES
DOUBLE MILK
Increase From 1913 to 10000
Z Pounds of Milk for Herd
Average.

From an average milk production of
5S1S pounds with grade COWS and
scrub sire to an average of 10000
pounds by using high class cows and
purebred sire, is the ten-year record
of A. H. Poston e Sons of Spokane
This is an actual case of replacing the
scrub sire by purebred and is given
in Mr.. Poston's own words:
'In 1911 we had just an ordinary
herd of grade cows, every color and
breed. If we had a COW that gave
four gallons in a day for short time
in the spring, we thought she was an
exceptional COW. After attending sew
eral farmers meetings and hearing
DR.. S. B. Nelson and other leaders In
better methods of farming, from the
extension service of the state college,
we decided to get purebred sire.
We picked on grandson of King Sc
good backing The calf was held for
$3.50, more money than we had intend
ed paying for bull, but arrangements
were finally made to pay part down
and $40 per month. 1t was big ef-
fort but the best investment we ever
made. Every one of his calves gave
more than her dam, and some gave
more than twice as much.
"The average milk production of
our herd was 5818 pounds before his
purchase. This last year our herd will
average very close to 10000 pounds,
or nearly twice as much in 1921 as in
1911.
Since the purchase of our first
purebred bull, we have used nothing
but registered sires with good milk
and butter fat records, and our herd
is gradually increasing in production"
