SHOW SPEED IN
FRUIT HARVEST
qree to Warehouse at the
Rate of 10 Seconds
Per Box

!. w. Vickers, president and
..aeral manager of the Highlands
s,u;t company believes his COM
INV has established a record for
a;s state in the way of speed IN
:. movement of winesap apples
ANN the tree to cold storage.
Mr.. Vickers says that when a
..nnerature of 81 degrees above
.,o was recorded for Thursday
,irht. September 21st, with pros
,rts of more cold nights to fol-
hv he realized that extreme
need in getting the winesaps off
A. trees and into storage meant
.fety for the crop, and that de-
~ in getting started or failure
d maintain heavy movement
,,om tree to storage might re-
nlt in a tremendous loss to his
smpany. He therefore organized
Is forces accordingly, and COM
rencede picking Saturday morn
hg at ten o'clock.
The freeze of Friday night MAX
mo- it unsafe to start until the
tost was out of the apples. Haul
mo- out of the orchard was started
IS soon as the picking had pro-
nessed far enough to permit
,hecking up behind the pickers,
and Sunday morning trucks were
put to work hauling to the Church
Mfg. company's cold storage at
Pasco. Maximum speed was at
ained on Monday when a little
more than six thousand boxes
we're moved into storage in ten
hours. This total for the day re-
quired speed of ten boxes per
minute and was made possible
only by very efficient management
Of the crew of truckers and haul
ers under the direction of A. H.
Avery who has charge of Church's
cold storage plant at Pasco.
The work was rushed all along
the line and in six days from
Sunday morning until Friday
night, 36,721 boxes Of fruit were
moved from tree to warehouse.
This included apples hauled to the
Highlands Fruit Co. warehouse at
Vista siding where a packing crew
was at work turning out an aver
age Of little more than a carload
daily.
Mr.. Vickers believes that this
is a record for the rapid move
ment of apples in this state. He
figures the delivery rate, at the
two warehouses, was slightly
more than ten boxes per minute
for six consecutive ten hour days
and if anyone knows of more
rapid movement of fruit by one
concern he would like to hear
about it.

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. p ~Wirel

CHICAGO, May 1S-Notwithstand-
ing a spirited late rally wheat prices
displayed a downward trend at the
finish today, and throughout most of
the board of trade session. Moisture
relief for the spring wheat crop over
large areas both north and south of
the Canadian line had noticeable
bearish effect. Wheat closed unset
tied, hc to &c net lower; corn at
A@Ac advance; oats varying from
"A c decline to &c gain, and provisions
shade to 27c off.
The late rally in the wheat market
was associated with buying based on
reports that foreigners were taking
more interest in the new American
crop, that Argentine shipments to
Europe were less than had been esti-
mated and that world shipments this
week promised to be small. Enlarged
selling on the advance quickly salts
fled the demand, and caused a brisk
setback.
According to some experts, the
moisture supply northwest has Been
sufficient to give the wheat crop in
that section much better start than
was looked for of late. Other author
tiles, however, contend that any re-
turn of high temperatures with the
present soil situation will cause rapid
and permanent crop injury, especially
in North and South Dakota. A fur
ther disturbing factor was a forecast
circulated today that the Missouri
wheat harvest this season will be the
smallest in so years excepting 1899.
Renewed labor complications in
Great Britain and uncertainty over
the military outbreak in Poland tend
ed also to make the harvest nervous.

were acting on an opinion that bear
ish factors as to corn, had been dis
counted in full
Shorts led the buying of corn flu
ture deliveries. The cash corn trad
ing basis was &c lower to 1c higher.
The decline was on poor kinds. Some
houses reported small increase of
country offerings Shipping demand
here was Slow and sales here totaled
only $4,000 bushels The late weak
ness in wheat resulted in pairing down
part of early gains on which had
been scored in the corn futures mar
