No ordinary hand bell company could think of attempt ing it. They play "Colorado? in Arnih" with conservative with the tenor.

TUKRl'l is no more (lunger oC over production oC high grade eonnnereial apples in tho United States and Canada than there is of American liens laying more eggs than can be marketed. Wo frequently hear the remark that t.he planting of fruit trees is being overdone in tho Paeifie slope and inter mounlain country and that beforo long apples will bo a glut on the market. Certainly this is most erroneous, especially from the standpoint oL demand, production aim tho increase in population. Reports of the department of agriculture show that in tho face of a rapidly increasing demand, owing to the trinwfli in nnmi1ii4iiMi 41i nininnl ii-wl mil mil il tiiMilim III j,iMi 1,11 m ji'iuiil lull) mv iiiiiiiiiii nniuiuuii v.i. tt.ii.i ... the United States actually decreased more than 1118,000, 000 bushels between ISflO and 1908, during which period our population was increased by fully 12.000,000. For example, take 190S, with 12,000,000 more persons to feed and 138,000,000 bushels less of apples to feed them. We aro brought at once to the tremendous importance of this economic fact, and also to the fallacy of the statement that fruit growing is being overdone. This decrease is largelv due to the fact that so nianv of the old orchards in the east have been badly infected with fruit pests, and, in addition, have been dying out. Thousands upon thousands of acres are annuallv aban doned to the ravages of the woolly aphis, the codlin moth and the San Jose senile, as well as the inroads made an nually by damaging frosts. The following statistics covering tho viold of fruit in the country point to an important lessen: r w "'""",7',f,f,rrf,r We have a full line Of PEERLESS LAMPS on hand 4, s, in, aa c. v. carbon inmpo; an, io, go, mo, ir.o, ar.o watt ruiiRStcn lamps.

The foregoing statistics show some salient facts worth remembering. Besides, there are many more people eating fruit todaj' than there were a decade ago, and there is less fruit to be eaten. Farmers in the states of the middle west were setting orchards 20 years ago with as much zeal as the growors in the northwest are planting today. The history of the orchards planted in the' middle west shows that in a few yeare after coming into bearing insect pests and plant dis eases eliminated many of these orchards, and thousands of acres of apple orchards were removed by the axe. Tt might also be stated that trees were planted in a whole sale way on most airy kind of land, whether it possessed the qualities of good apple land or not. So, today, through the old rule of the "survival of the fittest" a small pro portion of the orchards of 20 veal's' ago in these districts is producing profitable crops. Mairy will ask: "What about the future of the hun dreds of acres of fruit land that are being planted yearly in the favored fruit districts of the northwest?" The reply is: The same forces that have worked formerly to reduce the orchards of the central west through the work of non-progressive orchardists and unprofitable orchards is certain to work in the future as in the past. But if the fruit grower has good orchard land and is willing to give his orchard the care that it demands, he cannot fail. More over, he must succeed. The demand for first-class fruit is growing, and in the years to follow this demand will bring as good, if not higher market prices than today. Plant more fruit trees on good orchard land and stay by the proposition. RQGU I APPLES FIRST AGAIN Newtowns Exhibited at Denver by J. A.

Wutitorluuil linn jut been no lifioil (hat his Newtown tipples won both firbt and scoond prize at the American Apple E.Mjsition, held at Denver, Colorado, thiw week.
