After a time a man who knew about apple growing looked around, bought and cleared nome land, net out nome apple treen and cared for them nclentlflcally. Ten yearn ago there were not nure than nix hundred people In the village of Hood Klver, and the valley wan nparnely nettled and given over large lo to forent or laborlounly cleared faruiH, where old fanhloned farim rn were trying to raltte wheat. By n nlow evolution the market for Hood Ulver applen wan built up. New orchardlntn came In. New tractn were cleared. Old orchardn were bought and modern methodn applied. Now there In a market for every apple rained In the valley, at good prlcen. The orchardlntn are of two dlntlnct varletlen, without connlderatlon of their theorlen about apple growing, w hich are almont an many an there are Individual, every orchardman having nome crochet of hln own, which he thlnkn brlngn the bent fruit. The lirnt kind are the turn who go In and buy the ground In the rough, clear It and break It, and net out young treen; then wait until bearing time. It In the general opinion that a man who lutendn to mine applen there ami make a living nhould not have lenn than ten acrcn. Of courne, there are many men with live acren, and nome have an' high an fifty, eighty or a hundred. Still, ten acren In connldered the right unit for the nmall Inventor who hopen to make a competence by hln own labor. In round numbern, It will cont the man A Basket of Goodness Well I .

There In peace and unlet enough, but the muln ennentlal for profit-making In work Incennant work anil hard work, at that. Actual, tolling experience In neeeH. narv. 1 Haw a man who in nan owner In an orchard of fifty acren, with fine treen on It, worth $75,000 at leant, working In overalln lu a packing houne. "I have got to know thin bunlnenn from the ground up," he nald. "Now that I have made It inv llfework, 1 am learning every stage of It. I nhall work In thin packing houne all the neanon, learning how to pack applen; not that I nhall want to pack my own applen, but ho I can know how they Hhould be packed und direct the men who do the pack ing for me." man with a ten-acre tract can do hln own cultivation, do It day- after day, which he tnunt do to get the lH'Ht recultn. He munt know the right dlntance apart for the treen. He munt learn how to npray the treen, wheu to dentroy the biign and wormn, and when to npray furfungun and scale. He will have to hire help for thin and alno for thinning. The apple treen In the Hood IMver Valley are not big treen. They are kept back and the toprnoxt branchen can be reached from an ordinary ntep ladder, wherein they differ from the treen of the old orchards in the eant. At the proper time nclentlfic thinning In done. Half, and even more, of the net applen are pint hed off, thun giving thone left a chance to grow big nn-J penect. I hln work alno requlren help on a ten-acre tract. The greatest care In taken In pick ing the applen after they are exactly at the perfect period of rlpenenn for nhlpplng. They are taken off one by one carefully nnd laid not dropped or thrown In the pail that In lined When the fancy brandn are lielng picked the palln are half full of water, ami the applen are placed gently III the water to avoid brulnlug. When he pall In full t he pic kern climb down from the step laddern and place t he applen gently In the held boxen. I hey do not pour them lu or dump them in. They pick up tiie applen and lay them in the boxen an ginger ly anil Iliey were ezun. I hln pre- ventn I. iiilulu. Then they are ready to he par ked. I ere In w here the Hood ItlverAppli lirowern' I'nlon comen In. Thin In an organization of about ninety per cent of the apple growerrn In the valley. The directors call In the growero abont the lirnt of Augimt and ank thcui w hat their probable yield will be. The directors then market the applen, but do not di vulge the price until all the applen are marketed. Then the grower gets hln share of the total Hum re ceived for the crop, after the oper ating expennen have been taken out. An apple grower may cultivate hln ow n trees, spray and thin them and pick hln own apples, but If he belongn to the union he cannot pack them. The union does all the packing so a uniform quality is preserved and uses the union label on all the boxes. W lien a mau has picked hln crop and taken It to the apple house the union nendn Its own expert packers to nort, grade and pack the apples, wrapping each one in a paper on which the union label In printed. They are packed In boxen strictly according to size, running from fifty-four applen to a box, or bushel by weight, to con siderably over a hundred of the smaller ones, UN to the box being the smallest size packed. The packers nort the applen. In the fancy grades, the slightest bruise or blemish thrown out an apple a npeck, the ntlng of an insect, any de fect at all. I Haw a pile of beautiful Spltzenburgn In one of the apple houses. They had been rejected. Apparently there were no blemlnhen on them, but the packer pointed out a minute black speck on one, down by the stem, and to a ncratch on the skin of another. Nothing but per fect fruit Is sent out with the union label, and that Is why the union han Its ow n packers. To be sure, there nre nome big grovvern who do not belong to the union, and pack their own apples, but then they are competing with union-packed apples.
