cULLs RUIN APPLE MARKET

Reports from Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land, Everett, Bellingham, Olympia
and other coast cities show that the
same old crime is being enacted, in
which Gull apples for which the grow
ers received from 81 to SO per ton are
icing openly sold at from so to so
cents dozen as fancy Wenatchce ap-
pes, or fancy Yakima apples. says the
Wenatckee World.
In fact, survey OF the fruit stands
and grocery stores OF SOME oil these
cities show that nothing but cu]ls can
be bought anywhere. No wonder the
people of the coast cities entertain a
rather low opinion of the so-called fam
cy apples supposed to be grown IN
eastern Washington. One speaker
w,o recently appeared in this city, de-
Glazed that western Washington can
and does produce just as good apples
as those from the Wenstchee or Yaki-
ma districts that are commonly sold
on the stands of the states metropolis.
Last year an inspector was placed at
the summit of B'ewett pass and also
enc at the summit of Snoqualmie pass
TO prevent the shipment of eulls by
truck, but this year no such measure
has been adopted. Whether culls. get
across into the coast markets that way
or not has not yei been disclosed. In
fact efforts to trace the cui1s back from
the stands where they are sold to their
source, have proven futile, as dealers
refuse to divulge the names Of those
from whom they purchase.
Culls can only be shipped to by-pro-
ducts factories. and they are supposed
to be used only in the manufacture of
by-products. The state horticultural
department is responsible for seeing
to it that these culls are so used and to
prevent their getting into consumption
in any other form. If culls shipped to
canneries are not bootlegged on the
retail markets there uaust be some
other source OF supply, and il is up to
the growers to find cut how this is
done. 1t is too late to do anything
this ycar, bit some definite action
should be taken before next year.
When it is considered that the coast
market should use from 1000 to 5000
cars of good graded apples, at very
low estimate, and that they are now
using much less than ka'f that amount,
it will be understood that the problem
involves a million dollars or more TO
the growers of eastern Washington
annually
No law that could be passed by the
legislature would be more beneficial
TO tie grower than one absolutely pro
hiolting. the shipment Of Gull apples
Tor any ruroose from the community
in which they are grown.

FROZEN ALFALFA MUST
BE PROPERLY TREATED

Although frosted alfalfa may be
made into hay satisfactorily, there is
some dancer cf bloating when ami
mails are rastured while the alfalfa
is still black from freezing, according
to Professor Jerry Scto,a of the de-
rartment of animal husbandry at the
State college.
IF the alfalfa is allowed to witt
and cure after freezing there seems
to be no danger in feding it, Sotola
says. That the frosting OF the hay
itself has. no effect on the animal,
seems evident, provided the hay is
well cured b.'tre it is fed.
I'm the opinion of Professor c. L.
Bray of Fl TT Collins Colo, the stage
6 maturity of the alfalfa and whether
1t gets wet or not while being fed
are factors affecting bloat and since
frosted hay & more likely 4, be cut
while the Plant Is immature, there
would be more chance 5cf boating
than with raatured hay,
sIn California it Is generally con-
sidered that there is more danger Of
b'oat when cattle are pastured on al
falfa when the fall frosts come and
many producers make practice OF
keering their animals off the pasture
for SIM. time after the first frosts.
In case Of frosling OF the first crop,
an early cutting Is advised to make
way for the new shoots which will
make more rapid growth If the
frosted parts are removed.

the Suez route, while "a nations were
at Panama
The World War was not the only
unexpected factor in bringing Pana-
ma so quickly to equality with Suez.
nor the most important. The enor-
nous increase in Panama traffic in
1923 was represented almost entirely
by petroleum and its products, NOV
ing from California to the east coast
and Europe. In the year ended June
80, 1894, tolls aggregating S24 100000
were collected, Of which 50 071.000
was from tankers carrying petroleum.
An even more striking statement of
the matter is that for the same year
exactly SO per cent of all tonnage
through the Canal was between the
two ocean fronts OF the United
States; that is, 13,5O0,OOO tons; and
OF this. considerably over 100000
tons, or more than two-thirds was Pc
troleum. 1t was of course chiefly
refneries. In the succeeding year
this petroleum movement fell off
heavily; but for 1926 it is again in
creasing and the increase is likely to
continue for many years. But for the
petroleum traffic, the Canal would
have shown deficit in every year OF
its operation.
The enormous petroleum business
has been in other ways advantageous
to Panama. A constantly increasing
proportion Of maritime shipping now
adays uses oil fuel Oil-burning ships
seek routes on which they can most
cheaply buy oil; and because Cali
the bunkers of vessels passing
through the Panama ditch. there
is a substantial inducement to
prefer this route This will in.
creasingly favor Panama and mill.
tate against Suez. as the number
of oil burners increases. Moreover,
Panama's advantage will still further
increase as the enormous oil re-
sources of Venezuela, Colombia, and
other South American countries
are developed
Great Service of Panama
If cheap petroleum has thus served
Panama so we'll, Panama in turn has
equally served the American motor
list, who consumes most of the worlds
petroleum products. For Panama has
brought the Pacific Coast petroleum
to the eastern market at costs which,
but for the Canal would be vastly
greater. Thus the Canal has given
the United States the cheapes. pc
troleum products in the world. and
helped build the automobile industry
and our modern his hway system.
This mutually helpful relationship
between the Cana and the petroleum
users is the more impressive when
one realizes that it was not even re-
motely anticipated at the time Presi-
dent Roosevelt started building the
Canal, SO late, indeed, as 1910, when
Admiral Evans wrote his articles
about the Canal and decided that it
could not be profitable for several
decades at least, he based all his cal
culations on the probable cost of coal
for bunkering ships. He did not
dream that merchant marines were
orr tie verge of tho revolutionary
change from coal to oil. So he figured
that, as there 10 practically no bunker
coal in the countries bordering on the
Pacific, that ocean could not com
pete, by way of Panama, for great.
ly increased share Of shipping. Tho
oil development overturned the proph-
ecies OF Admiral Evans, and of all
others who had foreseen that fuel
problems would make Panama I'm.
profitable.
