Last Dish of Season from w. B. HI. E.
(By A. r. Leased Wire)
Will Roberts says we made mistake
last week when we said he could not
keep up with the speedy sorters. How
ever, he admits to being somewhat
nustered over strange noises he heard
issuing from the machine, and spent
his recess and noon prowling around
with an oil can trying to locate the
racket. Finally someone told him that
the peculiar noises were merely the
sorters' voices. Speaking Of voices,
you should have heard them when the
mouse came down the belt. The poor
little thing had been drowned in the
acid tank. No one claimed the body
so it was ordered cremated by the
management.
Earl Wade has gone DEER hunting
(spell this with double-e). He says
he really would change the spelling
somewhat if he were dear hunting in
this part of the world.
Tom Wade substituted for him at
the machinery, and in a short time,
learned the secret of making the pack
ers and SorterS get move on. He
opened the steam valve at the end of
the sorting table and the warehouse
was cleared in record time.
Verna Moulster of Hanford subbed
for LaVerne Brooks last Friday And
right here want to say that warned
Joe that Chinese for trouble is their
telegraph showing two women in one
house.
Gained another pound; The Hens
leys were passing around big box
of candy Friday and then Alex brought
in a five gallon jug of cider, (not too
ODD with pitcher and glasses. We
all had all we could drink and perhaps
it is unnecessary to say that we fin
ished the season with a flourish, to
say the least.
The good Lord gave this valley the
soil and climate necessary for good
apples, and if the orchardist does his
share, there seems to be no reason why
we cannot raise them. The George
Wagner crop this year shows what can
be done with the natural resources
plus proper cultivation, irrigation,
pruning, spraying and thinning. Mr..
Wagner sent in nearly 2100 Tugs of
Winesaps. Out of these, there were
so Tugs of culls, and from the balance,
the packout was &c per cent extra
fancies, 81 per cent fancies, and about
3 per cent C-grades. OF these, only
1874 boxes were smaller than 1885. In
six hours and forty minutes, Friday,
the crew put out 1918 packed boxes of
these apples.
Mr.. Wagner plowed his orchard last
fall, turning under all weeds clover
and alfalfa, and disced it three times,
and the results certainly Justify the
care given. There may have been a
better packout in this valley this'year,
but if so, we haven't heard of it.
The warehouse annual blowout will
be held at Grange Hall next Friday.
Well tell you about it later if we are
not too full for utterance
And may say now in closing my
swan song, that this column is and al
ways has been intended to be just what
today's heading implies, applesauce and
razzberries. If we have stepped too
hard on anyone's pet corns, we are
sorry but we believe that the most of
the crew have taken the razzberries
in the spirit they were offered, and
I herewith give, devise and bequeath
unto my successor, this position as
correspondent, together with all the
good will and ill will this column has
brought forth and together with the
balance of my red crayon, if he or she
can find it. lost it in the scramble
last Friday.
Station WBHE now is signing off
until Tuesday of next fall
Good Night!
