Balcksmith and Wagonmaker HORSE SHOEING A SPECIALTY 25 Year Experience IN THE I APPLE WORLD D THE 1911 APPLE CROP SIZED UP TO DATE Tlu Chli-ngn Packer, which prub nl'ly has m thorough fivclllttles for Ct'ttlng corrtH't estimates of the American applecrop ns any agency In the country has just pulllnheil Its re port In regard to the 1911 apple crop. The reports cover the United states and t'anada thoroughly and Indicate a good crop in most sec tions. From these report received up to August 4th, the Packer sizes up the apple crop situation as fol lows: "This year the apple crop promises to be quite a good deal larger than last year. Should prices be lower or higher? This question must be de cided by the individual grower and operator. In other words, if the In dividual grower does not care to ac cept the price offered him at gather ing time, and If he thinks values will be higher later, he has the right, as a free American elzizen, of turning speculator by storing the fruit on his own responsibility, and wait for what he considers a prospective ad vance. In the light of history he may hit It rich or he may lose his trousers. "In deciding what apples are to be worth, a general survey of condi tions on all lines should be helpful. We are passing through an era of high prices and there is a shortage of food stuffs In some lines. But high prices will likely lead to a meeting of supply and Demand at the cross roads. Canned fruits will be short the next year, but 1'allfornla prom ises the biggest orange crop In her history, and then there will be a fairly good crop In Florida. Fifty thousand or more cars of oranges from the two states will have a bear lug on the apple market and this Is a factor that must be reckoned with. "If apple prices are started on a correct level in the fall and main tained on a healthy basis right through the season, the 1911 yield will go into consumption and it should prove a prosperous deal to all concerned. If the start, on the other hand, Is bad and prices are Inflated iK-yond reason by the moneyless, bank backed speculators, the final outcome with history as a guide, is easily foretold. "What is the Industrial condition of the apple consumer this year? Can he afford to eat apples liberally? What of the foreign crop and how WENATGHEE DAFFY OVERAPPLE SALE The purchase by the Wenatehee Produce Company of the crop of ap pies grown by O. U. France at We natehee for 1.50 per box orchard run, Is the occasion for a big scare head In the Wenatehee Republic which de clares that It is the highest price ever paid for apples bought this way, The apple yield, of the France or chard, as estimated by the parties to the transaction, Is slightly more than 11,000 boxes, and the fruit Is practically all of standard varieties The apples, it Is said, will grade heavily to extra fancy, not more than 3 percent running choice, which will be confined principally to Home Beauties and Mewtown I'lpplns. G. 1$. Lanham, of O. M. Wagner & Sons, of Chicago, declares that the price paid by the produce company Is the record. "The sales," says Mr, Lanham, will sound like a fairy tale to both growers and buyers back east. One dollar and fifty cents, or chard run, for the bushel box, means $4.50 orchard run, for the three-bush el barrel a price that the eastern grower never fancied In his most de lightful dreams and that the buyer never suffered in his wildest nlght mores. After learning of this sale, the members of the International Apple Shippers' Association, which meets at Detroit, will no doubt, take a day off to recover from the shock about the probable extent of exports from the United States? These are some of the things that will have a bearing, as usual, on apple values. "As the Backer has a host of friends among both sellers ( growers) and buyers (dealers) of apples we have no wish that either should take undue advantage of the other. We have simply given the facts herein and it Is up to the two to get to gether. If they can't agree on prices In the fall the grower can store and the dealer can let the grower store. Fach should not overlook his rights in this respect, for there Is no law compelling a man to buy apples, pay ing more than hU Judgment dictates, simply to earn the name, which may turn out to be an empty title, of be ing the owner of 5,000, 10,000 or 100 000 barrels of apples, and yet again why should the apple grower sell at less than his Ideas of value when he can take refuge In the refrigerator?

At a meeting held In Portland, August 5th, the State Board of For estry agalu cautioned the State Fire Wardens in regard to Issuing burn ing permits and passed the following resolutions prescribing the condi tions under which burning without a permit may In? done: Whereas, Section 7, of Oregon's Forest Fire Law provides that "Burning of log piles, stumps or brush heaps in small quantities, un der adequate precautious and per sonal control and In accordauce with any regulations which may be adopted by the State Board of For estry for the purpose of insuring pub lic safety". Is permissible; and Whereas, Instances have occurred which tend to show that this section has been taken advantage of In a manner not intended by the law, and public safety as well as private prop erty has been endangered thereby; and Whereas, The law empowers the State Board of Forestry to prescribe the conditions under which such burning can 1h done; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the following regu lations governing burning without permit be effective on and after Aug ust 10, 1911, and that these regula tions be given publicity through the press and by means of posted no tices: 1. Burning of log piles, stumps, or brnsh heaps without permit as pro vided for under Section 7 of the Ore gon Forest Fire Law, Is permissible only where the material to be burned is a safe distance from other lnllam able material and where the ground surrounding the log piles, stumps, or brush heaps is cleared of any sub stance Which will allow of fire spread ing to adjacent wooded, brush, or slash-covered land, either the proper ty of the parties engaged In burning or that of another. 2. "Adequate precautions and per sonal control" Is interpreted as meaning that all fires set without permit must be continually watched both night and day by a sufficient number of men on the ground for that purpose, and should fire escape steps must be taken at once to ex tinguish It. 3. Burning done in violation of these regulations will submit the party or parties concerned to prose cution under the fire laws.
