STUDENTS PACK APPLES Corvallls Experiment Station Will Ship Carload of Newtowns. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls. Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.) A carload of first-class Newtowns, from an orchard operated under . a lease by the horticultural department at the college, is being prepared . for shipment, the grading and packing be ing done by students in the agricul tural course. The work Is a drill in that important department of horti culture, and they get regular . credits for it in their college work. Two days were spent" recently by John Castner, a packing expert from Hood River, in giving the students special instruction. The Newtowns being packed for shipment, are from the. five-acre Meek er orchard, but a few hundred yards from the college. The land was leased last year for purposes of experiment. A' portion of it was given the highest scientific -cultivation, and the remaind er allowed to go in much the same fashion that is usual on Willamette Valley farms.- The difference in the appearance of the two portions Is so marked as to leave no doubt of the efficacy of care. Scarcely a single box of marketable, apples will be secured from the neglected, portion, while from the cultivated part at least, 600 boxes of the finest fruit will be secured. The test seems to establish that Newtowns are a desirable variety for planting In the Willamette Valley. Professor Lewis declares the color of the fruit from this orchard is as fine as can be produced. The apples will grade H. and Vi tier. Beaten Insensible In Quarrel. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 26.
