After the Doctor--
THE DRUGOIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done for the pa
tient. And if the druggist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. But we
make a special study of each case
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.

WENATCHEE WAITS
FOR ACTION HERE
"What about the North Pacific Dis
tributor' Association T Do you think
It should market Wenatchee fruit?"
These were the questions which were
addressed to W. T. Clark, president
of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Assort'
atlon, upon his return from the con'
ference at North Yakima.
Mr. Clark, besides being president of
the Growers' Association there, is al
so president of the newly formed
North Pacific Distributors' Association
the purpose of which is to market
through its central selling agency
fruit of the four states of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
"The distributors' association," ans
wered Mr. Clark, "Is not yet by any
means an effective organization. Its
alms are high and praiseworthy, but
Its operation as a business is a matter
of determination. Just at present It
Is in the academic stage open to ar
gument. Before it can become opera'
tive, it must receive the endorsement
and then the support of the assocla
tions and growers in the various dis
tricts.
This District's Position
"In this district, of course, its local
acceptance or rejection depends alto
gether upon the action of the Wenat
chee Valley Fruit Growers' Associa
tion, the annual meeting of which
will be held in May. By that time, the
strength of the distributors' organiza
Ion Is likely to be determined in a
great degree by the judgment of the
Hood River, Yakima and other dis
tricts.
"The representatives of the various
districts that met at North Yakima to
form In a tentative way the distrib
utors' association could not, and did
not pretend to, commit their respect
ive districts to the scheme. Some of
the representatives enthusiastically
favored the project; others were less
so and raised no objection to it be-
worthy of reference to their respect
ive districts. In the meantime, of
course, Wenatchee must be prepared
to market her own fruit in case we
do not join."
PEPPERMINT FARM PLANNED
Portland Man and Michigan Brother
to Erect Still Near Albany
Albany. A farm to grow pepper
mint for the market will be establish'
ed near here by O. H. Todd, who came
to Albany recently from Michigan, and
his brother, Alfred Todd, of Portland
They have leased a tract of land
about six mil eg east of Albany, near
Knox Butte, for the purpose. This
is one of the first industries of the
kind on the Pacific Coast.
The Todd Brothers will not only
grow peppermint in big quantities but
will construct a still at their pepper
mint farm to prepare the product for
the market. This will reduce the pep
permint to commercial form. A crew
of men Is now at work preparing the
ground for the setting of the first
plants and work will soon begin on
the erection of the still.

APPLE TREE HOLDS RECORD
An apple tree growing In the Walla
Walla Valley, Washington, holds the
fruit-yield record. It produced nearly
200 bushels of apples last season, thus
breaking Its own record of 1264 boxes
in 1907, the highest production, we are
assured, from a single tree known any
where In the world. This tree bore
70 boxes in 1906, 42 boxes In 19Q8 and
45 boxes In 1909. More than BOO bar
rels of fruit have been picked from
It since it came Into bearing in the
spring of 1871.
The tree was grown without Irriga
tion from a seedling planted In 18f6.
It is 42 feet In height and Its branches
spread 67 feet from tip to tip. The
trunk is seven feet In circumference
at the base and measures six feet
six Inches Just below the first limb,
which Is four feet seven Inches. The
tree Is sound and healthy despite the
fact that It has produced fruit every
season for nearly forty years. New
York Press.
STATE SPENDS MUCH
ON SOIL BAGTERIA
Thousands of dollars were added to
the wealth of Oregon farmers last
year by the bacteriology department
of the experiment station at the Ore
gon Agricultural College which fur
nished Inoculation cultures so that al
falfa, red clover, alslke, peas, beans,
vetch and other leguminous crops
could beg rown where before it had
been impossible.
ThS cultures were furnished free, ex
cept where large amounts were asked
for, and then the farmers paid the
postage or express charges. Hundreds
of farmers were enabled thus, by
proper seed treatment according to
directions sent from the college, to
grow crops where they had not been
able before. The experiment station
will again furnish the cultures this
season, and any farmer in the state
who wishes them can get them by
writing to the bacteriological depart
ment, O. A. C, Corvallls. He should
state what crop the culture Is to be us
ed on, and should write at least ten
days or two weeks before he must
plant, so that the department will
have time to prepare the cultures.
The probable time of planting should
be stated and if more than two acres
are to be planted, $0.15 should be sent
for parcel post stamp.
Inoculation of the seed before plant
ing, It was found, made It possible to
grow leguminous successfully and to
Increase the amount approximately 75
per cent in the hundreds of trials giv
en in the season of 1912.
But seed Inoculation will not recti
fy poor soil conditions caused by lack
of lime, such as are found in many
parts of Oregon. Moreover, If nodules
or small bunches are found on the
roots of a crop already grown in a
field, it is not at all certain that seed
or soil Inoculation will Increase a suc
ceeding planting.
These cultures sent free to farmers
by the bacteriology department at the
college are the same as those sold by
dealers under different trade names.
This is one of the directions in which
the college is working to increase the
profits of the Oregon farms and the
productivity of the soil.
MORE APPLES LEFT
THAN LAST YEAR
Reports from various sources show
that about 1,000,000 barrels went for
export and into consumption In the
United States during February and
1,500,000 boxes. Of the barrel goods
there are now practically 2,500,000 bar
rels or 600,000 more than last year at
this time. There are around 4,000,000
boxes held or 2,000,000 more than last
March. Fully 60 per cent of the box
goods Is held In storage in the West
Counting three boxes to the barrel
there is all told less than 4,000,000 bar
rels of fruit held today, yet this stor
age is practically 1,500,000 barrels
more than that of March, 1912.
There are about 1,000,000 barrels In
storage yet in New York state, 250,000
barrels in Missouri and the same in
Illinois, with probably 100,000 each In
Pennsylvania and Virginia. When It
comes to box fruit Illinois warehouses
have probably 250,000 barrels. Kan
sas has the same quantity, so has also
Missouri, while New York has fully
600,000 boxes. The great bulk of box
ed apples are found in the Western
states, California with 1,000,000 boxes
and Washington with 250,000 boxes.
CLEARANCE OF 1912
APPLE CROP GOOD
When the size of the 1912 apple crop
of the United States is taken Into con
ulceration, the clearance of stocks at
the present time must be regarded as
very satisfactory. There are still
plenty of apples at all points; enough
to keep the market in a weakened
condition, but the situation would be
much worse but for the aggressive
selling tactics of Jobbers and ex
changes everywhere. The campaign
conducted in the Eastern states by the
International Apple Shippers' Associ
ation has produced favorable result
according to apple experts here.
While the great crop of 1912 is not
the largest ever produced, the move
ment from it Into consumption through
market channels has broken all rec
ords. Current estimates, based on re
liable reports, indicate that the com
mercial supply of both cold storage
and common storage stocks at all
points In the United States on March
15 amounted to about 2,000,000 barrels
and 3,380,000 boxes, the total being
equivalent to 3,125,000 barrels. The
estimated holdings for the same time
in 1912 were 1,525,000 barrels.
President Loomls of the Apple Ship
pers' Association asserts that pros
pects for barrel apples are good, and
Joseph H. Stelnhardt of Steinhardt &
Kelly says there has been a decided
improvement In the box trade recent
ly and that it promises to continue.
It Is recognized, however, that apples
will soon meet competition with var
ious Southern small fruits.
The publicity bureau of the associa
tion has a plan for raising an annual
promotion and advertising fund. It
provides that every shipper shall at
tach 'a one cent association stamp"
to each box and a two-cent stamp to
each barrel, the stamps to be supplied
by the association and the proceeds
to be devoted exclusively to advertis
ing the apple. It Is estimated that
on a crop of last year's size this would
provide over $900,000 for advertising
purposes. Oregonian.

WILL HAVE STRAWBERRY FETE
Roseburg has settled on May 20-24
for Its annual Strawberry Fete. The
outlook Is excellent for a record crop
of the luscious fruit that has added so
much to the fame of Roseburg and, as
always, the Southern Oregon city will
keep open house and entertain thous
ands of visitors from all parts of the
state. This year's event will be a
citizens' affair from si art to finish and
Roseburg expects to spend three times
as much money for its celebration as
last year.
