Monday, October 16, 1916 ASH LA NT) TIDINGS ?TTTTT f FTTV I I 'FRUIT and FARfll Waste of the Apple Crop. . Portland Oregonian: It was a famous Pacific coast manufacturer of mustard condiments who said that it was the mu3tard the people left on the plate that had made him rich. It appears also that tne waste of apples In the United States has a distinct bearing on the market for that fruit and the price paid by the- consumer. The forthcoming crop of apples is estimated at 67,670,000 barrels, which Is something mora than 200,000,000 bushels, or nearly two bushels for every man, woman and child in the country. How many millions of our people never get even an apple can not be estimated, but the number Is large. This is due to two factors waste in the orchard and faulty distribution. Millions of bushels too many to calculate rot on the ground In sections where the growers do not believe it profitable to market them. Other larne quan tities are lost by poor storage; still more by shipping to markets that woaiiT svp hppn ehitted. though v .. on Miio. liere mar be other towns ana cities not far away that have Insufficient supplies. One of the Important elements in waste Is failure to produce fruit of quality w.irth picking and shipment. The Pacific northwest learned this lesson measurable some years ago, but there are growers even yet who j by the farmers of the United States do not realize its Importance. This does not signify that these forms of season has been particularly trying I production are not important. Un bpranse the hlRh price of various in- der certain circumstances and condi- sectlcldes and fungicides has In duced parsimony In their applica tion. We can not afford to neglect our fruit trees altogether Just be cause there Is a war in Europe. And in some districts pests are getting foothold that will be making trouble long after the war is over. It must be kept in mind that we ourselves are responsible in a high degree for a public taste that demands excel lent fruit or will buy none. The cull apple is practically a total waste. Kven th- space it occupies on the trees Is devoted to the production of worse than nothing. But the grow er who picks his fruit at all must pick the poor fruit with the good nri hpn rpneet It In the sorting. It all takes time, and time is money j these days. The difference between a clean orchard and a half-kept one is the difference between profit and loss. As for the problem of feast and famine in communities not far apart with which any student of the situa tion Is familiar, we are accomplish ing something, although n .t enough, in the direction of correcting the evil by organized marketing and good advertising. Doubtless this will work out ln good time. But it must not be forgotten that the or chards we now have should either be cared for or uprooted. The pres ent time is appropriate for the au tumn cleaning up, for horticultural prophylaxis, for laying the founda tion for next year's crop. After the present crop has been h.irosted and until the unfavorable weather of winter sets In, the motto of even orchardist should be, "Let us spray." It Costs Yon Nothing for a chance to win $3.00. We have a new liniment which we are put ting on the market and, like the par ents of a new-born babe, do not know what to name it, so we want you to help us. We will give $3.00 for the prize-winning name. If two or more send the winning name, each will re ceive the full award of $3.00. The only condition Is that you mall your suegestlon on a postal card and send before November 1st. You will re ceive an announcement who was suc cessful about November 15th.

TheBe are, insurance of buildings and personal property against loss by fire or lightning, insurance of the same ob jects adairiBt loss by windstorm, In surance of growing crops against hall, and Insurance of livestock against death by disease or accident. To the average farmer the first two kinds of insurance usually make the strongest appeal. One reason for this Is doubtless the feeling that fire and windstorm are the destruc tive agencies that most frequently, at a single stroke, deprive their victims of the accumulated earnings of many years. Perhaps a second reason why farmers usually first provide them selves with fire and windstorm in surance Is the fact that these are, as a rule, relatively less expensive than the other two kinds of insurance here considered. By this is meant thut a larger percentage of the mon ey collected from the insured can be i used to compensate the sufferers of 1 loss than 1s the case with hall or livestock insurance. A simpler or ganization Is possible, and fraudu lent claims are more easily guarded against. The fact that hall and livestock insurance are less generally carried tions they may even outrank in im portance the other two. As the American farmer learns to make of agriculture more strictly a science, and to eliminate, as far as possible, the element of chance, he Mill doubtless insist on the further devel opment of all the kinds of insurance here enumerated, and perhaps of still others. Few farmers are 'so rich that they can wisely go without Insurance. Happily few are so poor that they are compelled to go without a safe guard that to the average farmer may be classed as a necessity. The very farmer who has but few build ings and little personal property, and is perhaps least able to pay for in- surance protection, is really the one who can least afford to go without it. Hence the importance of making insurance as cheap as it Is possible to make it and yet have It efficient and dependable. About two-fifths of the farmers in the United States have found a method of providing themselves with fire Insurance at greatly reduced cost through mutual or co-operative Insurance associations, embracing a single county or some such limited territory. Dependable and cheap windstorm Insurance has similarly been provided by means of larger mutual companies, often operating" in close relationship with the local fire insurance mutuals. Local wind storm insurance companies have, however, In several instances, been taught by experience, and to their own sorrow, that while each group of farm buildings and to a consider able extent each building within the group constitutes a separate and dis tinct risk so far as the fire hazard Is concerned, the same is not true with reference to the windstorm hazard. Safety and stability ln windstorm Insurance demand that the amount of insurance be large and the rlBks widely scattered. The same Is true of hail insurance. N A smaller number of farmers have also provided themselves with hail and livestock Insurance by means of mutual associations. While a num ber of these associations have a sue-; cessful record covering1 many years, companies representing these kinds of Insurance have been less generally successful than . have farmers' mu tual fire insurance and windstorm Insurance companies. Some of the reasons for this difference In success have already been suggested. Not infrequently letters come to the department relating stories of hardships due to losses of property not covered by insurance, and ask ing if some provision does not exist by which the department can aid de serving farmers who have met with special disaster to their property. The answer to such Inquiries must, of course, be In the negative. The Office of Markets and Rural Organization of the department has undertaken a careful 'study of vari ous kinds of property insurance of interest to the farmer. The inform ation ln its possession is at the dis posal of groups of farmers who de sire .to organize with the view of providing themselves under favor able conditions with insurance best adapted to their needs.

The Medford boys and coach were a dubious lot and they were not feeling overconfident of the Klamath game. Ashland high plays Klamath on November 4 at Klamath Falls. Medford high has an overabund ance of school "pep" this year, ac cording to th? Medford football play ers. About 200 rooters accompanied the team to Grants Pass last weeW for the Medford-Grants Pass game, and in every way the student body is lively and loyal. "Mutt" William son, a well-known Medford athlete, but who is to be kept off Medford teams this year because of parental objection, was recently-elected yell leader, and bis marshaling of the' rooters' gang has united a husky throated bunch of yappers. It Is also reported that Medford will have some "stunts" to pull off between halves of the Medford-Ashland game which will rival the far-famed stunts which Ashland high has executed for the last few years. The Ashland high school spirit is abominable so far this semester. No yell leader has been elected to replace Lelth Abbott, who has held the thankless job for two years. There hasn't been an executive committee meeting yet to settle the student body president difficulty of last year. Not a single i class, seniors included, has been or ganized. No class receptions or par ties have taken place, and when the football team has a practice gamelers and shippers and invites the students out to wit-I Markets, 1,146 ness It there are not half a dozen students from the 2J8 who will come out and practice the school yells and watch the team practice. Some spirit! for a school of Ashland high's reputation to support. If the football team doesn't have a success ful season the fault must be laid to every student in Ashland high school and not cn the coach or team. They are doing their part by working, training and practicing for a team which will hold' up Ashland high's standing in athletics, but the stu dents are willing to let them do it, for as far as staying a few minutes after school and helping the team out by appearing on the field and voicing their support of the team they "haven't time," and scurry home or to the tennis courts like good students who have spent a whole day in Ashland high school. Teachers' Institute called several of the pupils of the teachers" train Ing class to Grants Pass for the week-end. By attending the meet ings they get a good idea of teachers' work and are better prepared to ac cept teaching positions.
