Gvvlnn. v General Manager Northwestern Fruit -Exchange. At this writing the apple crop of th Paoifla Northwest . states has almost entirely passed out of first hands. This offers a striking contrast with Ian t year when at this time only a minor fraction of the crop had been sold. ..Prions this year ar perhaps, the best that -hav been obtained for any really important crop In the history of, the Industry, which, however, Is still young. In the early days much higher- prices have been ' obtained for small , lots but the values were then mora or less artificial. The results of last year's operations were unprofitable to northwestern apple growers. It was the first lesson In the adverse operations of th law of supply and demand that th growers had ever had. It therefore resulted in muoh con-' fusion, and caused considerable unwar ranted pessimism' on the part of many inexperienced . and unthinking people who had not learned to figure the fruit growing business in periods of three to five years, not attaching undu Importance to th results of any one f ear, whether good or bad. Really, last 'ear s rather sever lesson was a bless ng In disguise, and It Is to be hoped that It will not be forgotten In the en thusiasm resulting from this year's swing of the pendulum. - r Market opana Barly. Th apple . market of -1811 opened early, and was notable for th extra ordinary demand from " foreign coun tries. For the first time. South Africa appeared as a buyer In th primary mar kets, and a considerable block was sold for that account. Then Australia, an nually a buyer of Importance, greatly Increased her orders which had a very stimulating effect on ah market. Bouth America and Europe added their voices to th international clamor, and th pri mary markets became rather excited. Th filling of thee early orders well under way, news from the barreled apple districts or tne east and ' middle) west became more and mora bullish. Import ant shortages were becoming apparent, and reneral attention began to toe fo cused on the northwestern production. Thesn conditions were clearly sepn first, an alwavs. bv the larger operators who are necessarily close students of supply and demand, financial and In dustrial conditions, etc. The speculative position seemea so lavorame to mis class of operators Including some of th most conservative in the trade, that very Important buying operations were regun early in all good districts, with th result that the bulk of the crop in the mrthwest as well as elsewhere changed hands within a short time After the market opened.

Electrical machinery to keep targets In rifle gallery In motion has been designed by aa Australian. , , HOP SITUATION S FIRMER Gwln. situation Is, therefor, that th apple crop not only of th northwest but of the oountry at large may be said to be In fewer hands and stronger hands than for many years, for it Is a fact that the smaller class of traders have not been buyers to any Important extent. A large percentage of the business having been done on spot cash terms, and th bal anco on contracts favorable to the growers, the conversion of the crop into money has been perhaps the most rapid In the history of the deal. Probably the growers on the average will hav re ceived their money for their 1913 crop within 20 days between date Of ship ment and date of cash. Th Secondary Market, Up to this time buyers have been sell Inar the earlv and more or less unkeep- able sorts on very close margins, and the secondary market cannot be said to have been entirely satisfactory. This la due partly to the prevalence of warm and unfavorable weather and other local WOOL USERS ARE IN OF SUPPLY Boston, Mass., Nov. 29. Holiday week and the nearness of free wool combined to Rive the wool market a rather dull appearance. Several lead ing; houses claim to have mads Rood sales at prices substantially the same as noted In recent weeks. One esti mate of the total sales runs above the 4,000,000 pound mark though sales re ported Indicate somewhat less than these figures. Rarely has so much In terest been manifested in prospective happenings in the probable course of the wool market after December first Already preparations have been made for very large withdrawals of wool from bond as soon aa the duties are remitted. Manufacturers with a great deal of wool in bond win nave mucn or it shipped to the mills as soon as the necessary formalities can be arranged. Tliey have been running so close to the wind that supplies are urgently needed in many cases. Every effort will b made to make up the deficiency at the earliest possible date. Purchases and withdrawals of wool under the old duty have been reduced to the smallest possible compass. A desperate effort has been made to have no wool left on hand December 1 on which the 11 cent duty has been paid with good results according to current opinion on the "street." CORN PRODUCES MORE FEED TO ACRE THAN ANY OTHER PLANT (Continued Prom Preceding Page) I growing calf. At the Washington State Fair of 1912, held at North Yaki ma, the Interstate Fair at Spokane, and the various county and district fairs throughout the Pacific Northwest, corn was always In evidence and the quality was a surprise even to the oldest in habitants. On November 20, 21, 22 Harrison Ansart of North Yakima, had a com show in their hardwarer store, where there were 128 competliora, and the corn on exhibition would average ab high grade and would score aa ne.v perfeciion as that exhibited at any corn show In the state of Iowa during the last 10 years. Cora' Shows la December. The O.-W. R. & N. will have a corn show for the stales of Idaho and Wash ington at Colfax, Wash., on December 2 and 8, where over $1000 In cash and farm implements will be distributed In prizes. Entries already made Indicacf not only a splendid show of corn, but na each exhibit is to be accompanied by a statement of how the seed was selected, the ground prepared and the from a composite compilation of these corn cultivated it is expected that various corn stories. Illustrated by th? samples exhibited, we will be able to formulate a volume of corn literature that will place the Pacific northwest In inn iront ran as a corn growing sec tion. On December 5 and 6 a similar com show will be held at Pendleton for the state of Oregon when, we expect to dem onstrate corn as one of the most profit able crops to be grown on the dry lands of eastern Washington. ir mere remains any wno are in doubt of the possibilities and success ful growing of corn in the - Pacifi Northwest, they are cordlalv Invited to attend either of these exhibitions where we U show them that corn can be grown and tell them how to do it.

With the advent of cold weather and a very rapid -clearance of th miscel laneous supplies, a marked Improvement can be expected In the consuming mar kets. In fact this improvement is al ready showing. An Important fact was that the harvesting season in western New York and some other districts .was fully two weeks earlier than usual, which means that thr wers two weeks additional consumption, and therefor a two weeks longer season, v Position books Bound There is every reason to believe that the whole position of the apple market from this time on to the end of th season, next June, is very sound, and for the keepabla sorts very high prices may, with reasonable confidence, ba expected. This In spit of the fact that the pow-ers-that-be In th financial world ar disposed to be very cautious, and that th business situation is more or less unsettled on account of the uncertainty aa to the kind of currency laws that will b passed by congress, and as to th exact effect of th tariff bill which has been passed. Soft Trait Karkats. The northwestern pear season was very successful, and the growers aver aged prices in excess of those of any previous year of considerable harvest. Bneculatlon in BartUtta becam rather wild at one period of the market, result lnr In th inevitable reaction, but on th whole the situation was healthy, and th average results ar highly satisfact ory. One of the features of th season was the sensational stunts In th Eng lish markets. English and French pears were very short, and some remarkable firlce were reallxed for American Bart etts and other varieties. For the most part, the best prices were obtained by eautern growers who were able to -deliver their pears to the English markets while both- the fruit and th market were at their best. Western pears par ticipated to some extent in the high market . Better net results were obtained for this year's peach crop than for aeveral years, though on the whole they cannot be said to be satisfactory, and there Is a tendency in the northwest which ap pears tn be very general to displace peach trees, and to regard the business of peach growing with pessimism. be Placed on the lower half of the stalk. "The seed ears should be husked and dried as soon as possible after gather ing. "The ears should be hung separately, not in bunches. "The lire dried seed not only germ inates better, but will produce stronger plants. "Test each ear separately. One poor ear to the acre may make a difference of $10 per acre In the value of the crop. "Missing hills, barren stalks, weak stalks with only nubbins discount the average corn crop more than 60 per "rieen slowing, a liberal use of stable manure, thorough tillage before plant ing, good seed, continuous and careful cultivation, will make a profitable crop of corn. - . "In the spring of 191J we sent out a circular with some directions for corn growing. In which we said: Get. the Best Seed. "Get the best seed available; this would be an early maturing variety that had been grown in the locality for, a number of years. When this la not pos sible, then get the best northern grown early maturing variety available. "Along with this went the offer to furnish seed corn to those who were un able to procure the home grown seed. It Is rather gratifying to learn that wherever a man had been growing corn for even a few ypars and saving his own seed it Is making a better crop than any selected seed from another district. "If you are not growing any corn thin vMr. and your neighbor has a good crop ask him to let you select 100 ears from the field. Pay him any price with in reason, for you will find auch seed better for your farm than any you could buy elsewhere. "If the corn Is slow In maturing. It may be out and shocked at any time after it has reached the glaring stage. It will mature better and quicker than if left standing In the field. As soon aa It la well matured, husk, hang up and flra dry." PORTLAND JOBBING PRICES Tbeae prices are those at wMeh w belemlert tell m retailers, except otherwise stated: BCTTKtt Nominal.

Washington, Not. 19. The annnal damage to crops by Insect and mammal pests in the United States now amounts to many millions of dollars, snd is steadily increasing, partly as the result of "the encroachments of naw ' insect enemies and rodent pests, but mainly, perhaps, because of man's unthinking ds. structioa of his natural allies which kill the crop destroying pests. Man, Instead of permitting these natural allies to keep pace with the multiplication of the pests upon which they feed, has de stroyed them until their numbers are entirely Inadequate to preserve the bal ance. It la therefore Important that the farmer and stockman should every where seek to protect and encourage tha natural foes of injurious mammals and not wantonly or because of unfounded prejudice or misinformation, kill many antmala that he regards as enemies but which are real friends. Predaceous animals and birds have an Important function to perform In their capacity as natural enemies to crop-destroying insects and pests, ac cording to Dr. A. K. Fisher, economic investigator of the biological survey. United States department of agricul ture. Before man Interfered with the intricate relations of wild creatures and disturbed the balance of nature, the carnivorous animals served admirably to prevent undue Increase of the hordes of smaller animals that fed on herbage, seeds, fruits and other vegetables. So perfectly was the balance regulated that a temporary increase or decrease in one direction was followed sooner or later by the corresponding change in another. Most flesh eating animals change their ordinary diet only under pressure of hunger. In the main, they prey .upon some abundant species, which, when available, furnishes almost their entire subsistence. For example, If meadow mice were always present, the red-toiled hawk would rarely touch otber food. ' It Is when their normal food is scarce, and therefore frequently after they have done a good Job of eradicating a pest, that predatory birds and mammals are, from necessity, forced to take what they can find, and thus become tres passers on man's property. Tha man eating tiger and the poultry-eating skunk, weasel and hawk are rare, though their deeds haver been heralded far and wide and their names have become no torious. Tha Coyote, Owl and Bobcat. The coyote and great horned owl In rabbit Infested regions and In vineyards, orchards, meadows or gardens overrun by field mice, are among the best friends of mnn, but In thickly settled regions comparatively free from rabbits and mice, both of them have to be sum. marlly dealt with, as also does the Coy ote In sections where sheep raising la an Important Industry. It would be easy to advise the eco nomic value of all predaoeoua animals were It not for the complications re sulting from civilization, which intro duces problems that materially affect the status of animated things. In por tions of the west where fruit growing and farming are dominant Industries, It may be wise to encourage the coyote and bobcat within certain limits pro vided poultry and sheep are properly protected at night. Numerous ranch men and fruit growers have learned by experience that these animals If unmo lested will free their premises from rabbits and other crop and tree destroy ers. Where they have been allowed to do their work thoroughly they are fully appreciated and many ranchers would almost as soon shoot their own dogs and cats aa their wild benefactors. At times the coyote feeds entirely on large Insects such as May beetles, crickets and grasshoppers. Misdeeds of the House Cat. Many an Innocent hawk, skunk, owl and weasel has been shot for the deeds of the house cat. It is safe to say that the cat, which enjoys the comforts and protection of the home, destroys In the aggregate mors wild birds and young poultry than all the native natural ene mies combined. A cat has been known to kill a whole brood of chickens In a day. Cats, in the oourse of a season, have been known to practically destroy whole coveys of quails or grouse or nests full of young songsters. Th Fox. For its occasional misdeeds, the fox Is looked upon by the majority of man kind as a villian that djBvotes its entire life to robbery and derives all Its forage from the chicken yard or duck pen. As a matter of fact, even in localities where foxes are abundant it is compara tively rare that poultry is destroyed by them. On a well regulated farm chick ens are ifoused at night and th fox nec essarily turns Its attention to field mice, rabbits, ground squirrels and In sects such as grasshoppers, crickets and May beetles to the great benefit of the farmer. While It is true that the fox destroys a considerable number of birds. yet a ruffled grouse has been known tot. rear its young within 100 feet of a fox den and none of them were molested. While' the mink feeds on fish, mus sels and birds, it is indefatigable in its search for meadow mice and other marsh loving rodents. It Is very fond of muskrats and one of Its most im rjortant services to man is Its destruc tion of these pests about mill dams, canals and dikes, where their burrows undermine the embankment and cause disastrous overflows.
