Saturday, says the Salem "Statesman, a gen tleman here received orders from Colorado Springs, Colorado, for a car load of Oregon apples. The Colorado man offered such prices that the shipper can afford to pay $1 per bushel ior apples delivered otrthe cars in bulk. This certainly offers much to producers here, for by a little care the orchards will yield abundantly each . year. Apple growing has been neglected to a great degree and no effort has been made to kill the insects. But a change is not far ahead and hereafter Oregon orchards will be given the attention they deserve. To Farmers and Horsemen.
