Fruit Falling Rapidly-
More Equipment and

WRNATCIIEE, Wanli., Oct. 13
Facing the greatest apple harvest
crisis since 1113. fruit growers of
tho Wenatcheo valli;y are muklng
efforts to get every avail a bio man
in tho community into the orch
ards to savo the balance of tho
crops from destruction. .Apples

"cold wave" two weeks ago.
.Several hundred picker have
been sent Into the orchards uh a
result of a campaign sponsored by
tho chamber of commerce, it was
reported when a special meeting
of business men was called to con
sider the question of closing all
business houses until the emergen
cy has passed. It was decided,
however, to continue tho policy of
sending every available man and
woman into the orchards, but the
consensus was that nothing would
be gained by rinsing the stores und
other places of business.
- SI tort ago of. Equipment,
A special request Is being made
to all growers, who have finished
picking to bring In their extra lad

and other equipment to stores

"When the apples commenced to
drop about Oct. 1, there wus still
50 per cent of tho crop left on tho
trees. Hlnco that time half oT that
lias fallen, or 26 per cent of the
entire crop, lu my opinion, tho
apples that have fallen will bo al
most a complete loss. It Is doubt
ful It any of thorn can be graded
and packed, nnd if they re, they
should be kept sepurulu from
liund-pleked fruit.
"Any of tho windfall fruit pack
ed und stored along with hand
picked apples will Injure the stor

organizations that have hern in the
Jiuhtt of expecting a notation,
"suitable for storage", or "suitable
for export," can not expect to re
ceive this if windfall uppb-s are
pucked with the others. Reports

the effect that a large part of the
npplo crop left on the trees at the
tmo of tho recent freeze Is a total
loss.

PUBLICLY OWNED Or
Politically Operated?
All utilities are publicly owned. Their stockhold
ers are representative of every business and of every
walk in life, and in a true sense represent the general
public.
, The Housewives' Council "Water 1 and Power"
Amendment refers to "publicly owned and operated
utilities" but means STATE OWNED AND POLITI
CALLY OPERATED. The practical result, of the
Amendment would be to destroy all opportunity for
development of power or irrigation projects by private
initiative or capital under state regulation.
Oregon, wholly without experience of its own as a
guide, and without a successful example in any other
state, by this amendment would close the door of all
future development, except at the hands of a political
board. At the same time it would place the additional
burden of a $53,000,000 bond issue upon the taxpayers.
Politics would be an expensive substitute for thrift
and enterprise. .
