Our immense fruit industry is here
largely because of favorable soil and
climate. Moreover, where the costs
of irrigation are higher. or land values
are influenced by proximity to cities
Intensive production often is neces-
sity If such areas are to be farmed at
all. In commercial apple production,
we not only lead every state but we
surpass all states in total apple yield
of high quality fruit per acre On the
basis of a computation made by Pro
fessor o. NJ. Morris, head of the de-
partment of horticulture at the state
college, New York state probably
averaged 67 boxes of apples per acre
in 1920 while Washington state aver
| aged 107. Large areas of Washington
| 70, nd
many orchards in our best sections
produce 500 to 1000 boxes per acre.
When quality Is compared with the
apples produced elsewhere, the argu-
ment is equally favorable to our side.
Only through this high grade pro-
| ductiOn per acre of high quality
fruit carefully packed and efficiently
marketed, can Washington hope to
maintain it's place and to secure such
prices as are remunerative to thu

But the apple man has arrived at

of plant food which must be replaced

BAD WEATHER MAY
DELAY DEPARTURE
PLANES At BANGOR

Bangor Me, Aug 21-It Is doubt
full, owing to weather conditions, if
the army airplanes remaining here
will get away on Wednesday morn
ing as had been arranged, the indi-
cations now being that the depart
ure will be delayed until late in the
day. A strong southerly wind with
rain prevails tonight
General Mitchell, who left in his
plane this afternoon, flew to Augusta
in so minutes in the face Of the
strong wind, and after dropping a
message for Governor Baxter re-
turned in 20 minutes to Bangor.
Tonight rumors reached the avia-
ton camp that a hurriC = wasl com
ing, and frantic roundup of officers
and men was made, the force being
scattered at various places Of amuse-
ment. 1t was feared that damage
might be done to the planes, and the
crews were called in haste to make
them secure. The hurricane failed to
materialize, however.
The time of the fleets departure
from Bangor on Wednesday depends
upon weather conditions. Tonight
rain is falling, with a strong south
erly wind.

Gloucester. Mass, Aug. o1-With
Captain Arthur Moore of the Nova

in a dying condition in hospital
here as a result of his battle with
rum pirates off Rockport yesterday
and United States coast guard vessels
searching offshore for the pillaged
vessel, the local authorities tonight
sought to piece together the story of
the grim fight in which at least three
men were wounded, one probably
fatally.

the vessel used by the seven or eight
pirates who boarded the Hankenson.
This craft, which has a record in the
rum running business in New YORK
waters. Is known as the Greyhound.
Il was we'll known to the prohibition
officers until its seizure off New York
in November. 1922. with cargo OF
whiskey. Later it was sold by the
government and passec from official
notice.
The Gloucester police claimed TO
have evidence that the British
schooner had been lying off this port
for some time and had disposed or
large quantities of liquor to shore
boats. They were working on the
theory that the pirates had had deal
inCs with the schooner before. ana
for that reason were allowed to ap-
proach and board the vessel without
protest as possible customers.
The coast guard cutter Tampa
which nut out from Boston TO-DAY TO
search for the Hankenson reported ny

cruising off Cape Ann. 1t was ne
ljeved that the remaining crew OF the
schooner had sailed her TO some otner
point on the coast, or possibly neu
