Did you ever visit an apple orchard when the harvest was on? Well," its worth while. A few days ago a reporter for the Observer made the rounds at Imbler and Allcel and the sight was a reve lation, even unto a citizen of La Grands who lives so near. At the Tbronson Fruit Company's orchard a number of people were em ployed picking apples, while many were busy in the packing depart ment placing the fruit in boxes for storage until the market is such as to justify the owners to believe It has reached the high point. I Tho box maker at this plant makes 500 boxes a day and he Is a busy boy from the time he starts until he quits. The expert packers are from Milton, Oregon, a fruit section that has long been organized and devel oped talent along these lines. The most expert of the packers gets about one hundred boxes daily to her credit, which at 6 cents a box nets the pack er a very nice salary. . . Fer rentage of Extra Fancy. Apples are like everything else they go by grades. The extra fancy Is the perfect apple showing 50 Der cent color, the stem remaining In and wholly free from blemish. The fancy apples may have the stem out. have a small blemish, hut must have size and color. -When the reporter visited this orchard the packers were busily cugagtru in pucKing niewtowns - ana i Rome Beauty and It was surprising the small amount of anything but extra fancy and fancy stock that was to be seen. (Seemingly nature has tried to. furnish this district with every element that will produce the extra fancy apple, and that is the kind the grower rests his case upon." For no matter what the general price of apples may he be always ' knows there is a good price fancy. When the box Is filled and the lid nailed down it is carted to the ware house and those warehouses are a sight to see at this time of the year.

FRUIT LANDS RANGE LANDS DAIRY LANDS IB ji i i i i i I Tier after tier of boxes until oue would naturally think that the imbler Allcel district raises enough apples to supply the whole world. Trees Seven Years Old. The trees from which most of the fruit was taken are but seven years old. ; They stand In nerfect row sentinels and the careful pruning and spraying .makes them all look alike. In some cases tree surgery has ben adopted. Where a tree bears too heavily and breaks a limb the orchardlst runs a bolt throuch and perhaps suspends the limb by a wire irom ine main portion of the tree. The wound when wrapped with tire tape grows nicely together and the follow ing season there Is little of no trace ot the break. Alfalfa Between Trees. In the Tbronson orchard alfalfa is raised between the trees and this year three cuttings made an average of six and one half tons to the acre. The fact that alfalfa grows well Is a proof of the claims of sublrrlgatlon for wlthout-water close by alfalia Is a plant that wil not develop. The early frost this season decided ly helped the fruit In the Imbler Allcel district because it assisted in giving a rich deep color. In most localties a frost at the time we bad one this year would haw brought serious results, but In this district where the trees experience hardy weather from planting the frost is withstood in a remarkably satisfactory manner. Take the Gano aunle. for instance, and there' are thousands of Ganos around Imbler, the color this year Is the best ever known in East em Oregon. The frost, it Is claimed by those who know, materially assist cd the Gano. (The seven year old Gano trees made an average of ten boxes to the tree and ninety-five per cent of the crop is perfect fruit. j Can thin hp hpnten anv nlnpo In tlin for the extra Tworld? Whether the land is Priced at $500 an acre or $2000, you can't beat this Gano yield of perfect fruit. The Yellow Xevttown.
