Uniform Apple Grades It is an important work which has Kvn undertaken in estab lishing a uniform grade of apple for tins valley, as noted else where in this issue. There is probably nobody who doubts the value of such a standard. Loca growers would then understand clearly what the grades meant and it would be made plain to anv who might be inclined to be careless just what was expected of them. It is to bo hojed for. that the grades will be made as high as can be consistently done in order that the Hood River ap pie may continue to stand for the best. Not only would this constitute a guarantee to the re tailer as to the grade of fruit which he would receive, but such a guarantee would be bound, in the very nature of things, to re act to the substantial benefit of every local grower and shipper. Black Eye for Prize Fights Congress has passed a bill pro hibiting the interstate transpor tation of moving pictures of prize fights. This means that hereafter no reproductions of prize ring contests will be per mitted, as a heavy fine attaches to violation of the act. It is an important step in the direction of elevating the moving picture industry. The same measure al so forbids the transmission of any account of betting on the contest This means that the future news stories will be deprived of an interesting feature. Grad ually the fighting game is getting a black eye and it is probable that before long there will be a federal statute making it unlaw ful to conduct pugilistic matches anywhere under the Stars and Stripes. Apples as Cosmetics If the women of the country take the advice given by Grant Porden of Baltimore at the Inter national Apple Shippers' Associa tion in Chicago last week, they will discard cosmetics and eat apples morning, noon and night. If they only knew it eating ap ples will do more to make their complexions beautiful than all the other face remedies in the world so the speaker declared If enough publicity is given this advice there should be a big in crease in the demand for apples for Mr. Porden certainly appeals to the fair sex in a susceptible spot. Everybody Boost It It is rarely that an enterprise receives the immediate and unan imous support that is being given the Horticultural Chautauqua to be held next week. Everybody is enthusiastic and the commit tees, composed of resourceful, public-spirited citizens, are leav ing no stone unturned in their efFort to make the first Chautau qua a big success. If the people of the valley appreciate the op jortunity which is to be given them for both pleasure and prof it, there will be a splendid at tendance. New England to Irriiato. There have been some rain falls in New England recently, says the Christian Science Monthly, and they have been heavy in places, but they do not compensate for the long summer drought that preceded them. The truth is, New England lias had nix dry summers in succes sion. Experience of two or three years in this particular led many of the farmers of the Connecti cut valley to put in irrigation plants. Their forethought has been rewarded. However, New England farmers in general, and especially those in the southern part of the section, have met with heavy losses from drought and are not likely to recoup these losses this year. It is said that the farmers of New England are thinking more and more about irrigation. They believe that Irrigation would give steadiness and stability, as suring almost absolute certain ty to agriculture. The soil is light and will not bear easily the lack of moisture that is common to the summer months, or the growing months in these states. No section of the country could conserve its rainfall with greater ease or at less cost. Its numer ous hills and valleys arlord op portunity for the construction of reservoirs by the simple raising of dams. In its annual average rainfall, its hills, its sheltered valleys and the contiguity of its grass and vegetable farms to good markets. New England pos sesses assets that are now real ized upon only in a fractional de gree. At the same time it is of inter est to the esterner to see the East undertaking to follow the pace which the more progressive West has set in the matter of in suring agricultural success through scientific conservation of the water supply.

WENATGHEE PLANS WIDE ADVERTISING Twenty live hundred dollars will be raised at once by subscription among members of the Wenatchee Commercial club to replenish the li nances f t he organ I za tlon. Following the disposal of the financial matter, W. T. Clark, presl. dent of the Wenntchte Valley Fruit lirowers' association, suggested a plan for publicity that met the ap proval of the club. lie explained that he and other otlicers of the as soeiation had just returned from a trip to eastern states, where ar rangements had been made with dealers representing :,IKM Owns and cilies to market Wenatchee apples. He urged that the Cnmmerclal club fake advantage of this widespread disi ribut Ion of fruit to advertise the Wenatchee valley. Without disc.ls- sing the minute details, he advanced t lie idea t ha t literature of a publicity character be sent to the dealers who could circulate It In the :i(HKJ places where Wenatchee fruit will be offered fi ir sale, C. A. Harris, chairman of the club's exhibit committee, heartily approved of the suggestion. "I think," he said, "that Mr. Clark's plan 1m a good one.
