Several companies have put out machines which are in-ore or less successtul and which are now In operation in different fruit growing reel Ions of the northwest. The cost of this operation averages 1 o cents per box.

AKti'elug that Ihe trult grown In this area does not lccoiui' us largw at maturity as that grown in 'some other and perhup.s more widely known territories, on account of a shorter season, fruit growers main tain that what the apples lack In size they far more than make up in flavor and keeping tualf(ies, a fact which in attested to by out side buyers who are always anxi ous to secure Union county grown fruit.

"Thl5 spraying develop ment and the Increasing number of pests from yenr fto year 'in tho wnrnmr districts such a-s Hood rtiv'M and Yakima, make the pos slbllllleR of our county for grow ing apples better than ever." The cost of 1 0 cents per lux for the washing of the fruit from other petitions, may nut, on I he face of It appear to be a very great figure.

I., Andrews, oT l.a Grande. Is putting on a vigor ous raiupalgu at present among merchants In it his county and In Wallowa county hi an endeavor to put a tit op to the practise of ot tering lor Halo wormy apples, in his campaign, which lie expeiMM to push to the limit Mr. Andrews re ports that he has met with the most sd nee re cooperation on tho part of nil the dealers with whom he has conferred. I The situation as it has been put up lo him, has suggested tho fact that outside peddlers have brought Into this n.iva. apples which are wormy and which are inferior In other regards. On these, a lower price may be set and It becomes necessary for other dealers lo meet that price. The result has been that culls have Imhmi put on tlte market, a practice whioh Mr. An drews with Ihci backing which his of lice gives him and with the co operation or those concerned are giving. Intends to stamp out, "I believe ithe whole .difficulty. says Mr, Andrews, "ha arisen from Iho fatM Ihut peddlers front Walla Walla or other sections have trucked Into this county and Wal lowa county, a' quality of fruit, which cbuld bo disposed of at a smaller price, but which has hurt the nihrkcl for locally-grown stuff. It Is not that thn merchant of this section prefer to ha-udlc ihls. but they have been forced to meet this competition consumers would rather pay lift cunts, or fo cents a box more unci have a belter uuat- ity of fruit, ami one free from worms." ; To UiIh statement. Mr. Avery, county agriculturist u,dds, t hut It is his opinion, that some, at. least, or litest! peddlers --are conducting their biiKlncus Illegally inasmuch as I hey Hicimvlves a not farm ers, but are trucking without a license. .If these could be caught Your dealer is glad to recommend Gem-Nut He it s fre s hn ess and flavor. made eVery day ' refrigerated all the way double wrapped . It's worth while to pro tect the goodness of a spread so fine as Splendid for all Cooking and BakinC-madcby ihe makers of Swifts Premium Oleomargarine Swift &u Company und bo dealt with according to the law, It might bo tof considerable iihhIMiiiic In stamping out Iho practice. Such a campaign as Mr. Andrew H is conducting Is for Hie gootl of all and wtnuld very- cer tainly bo a benefit to local fruit growers in tho marketing of their produce, it is claimed. Mr. Andrews makes this sug gestion -to all npple growiMH if tho boxes are properly marked or labeled ion thn outside, with 4 lie grade of apple contained in Hie ( box, the net wtelghl, ihe growers no me an dad dress and t ho var iety of the apple. It w oubl go a long w ays' toward seeming the re sults desired. It will readily bo seen, that the purchaser of und" situble fruit would know at once, on whom Hit bin me should rest, whlb a . packer wo tiki hesktahf labelling a box lof inferior fruit with Ills own name. The matter Is not only a moral obligation on the: packer of apples, hut the law has some very plain finings to say in the matter of falsely marking a lox of fruit. One Sertoli of (he lawt roads thus, "Kvery person who jMicks, mtr pre pares for shipment to any point, within the state, -or who delivers to any express agent, or railroad agent, or other person, or to any transportation coiutuiny or cor poration, for shipment to any point without Hie stiite, 1 any fruit r fruits, either, fresh, cured or dried, that Is Infected with insects, pests or disease, injurious to shrubs, pla ills, fruits or vegetables, is guilty of a misdemeanor." Tin? penalty attached Is a flue of from 2 to $100. The law a Iho plainly stales 1 lint It shall be unlawful (for any tbsUcr, commission merchant, shipper, or vender to. have in Ills possession, fruits which have la-en falsely marked. Tho fact that any such luis in his possession fruits false ly marked or labeled, shwll be knows uem-iut retained original prima fade evldcnco that' thnyfc have bet-n irulltv of false IalIUn.iv- The penalty is a fino of from 9&V:J it) ;iu', u. jttn iNruiriivu w- .. 10 lo .100 days, or both. There is ulso a provision In tin law regarding thn sale of apple In box lots. Where fruit la raid or dlsporcd of, every person, firm, association,, or corporation If for shipment either In or with out the state, must have his miim and addrefs plainly marked on th outsldo of tho box. Also, when the fruit la grown other than, b: the party packing, tho name an uddress of tho grower must , b stamped -on 11m outside of Ulh box. Mr. Andrews Is confluent thai the consumers In this county, In Wallowa, do not want worm: apples; lie Is also confident thai merchants do not earn to Itondi wormy apples and he is llknwti confident that growers too do no' I wish to hav6 llw miHrket for thel own prrfect fruit ruined by th the Influx of this Inferior fruit.
