PACIFIC GROUP OF APPLE-GROWERS WILL
HAVE LARGEST CROP EVER HARVESTED
Spokane, Wash. ApplegTOwers in
the Pacific or box group, taking
Washington. Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana, California, New Mexico Utah
and Colorado, will this year have the
largest crop ever harvested in these
states and the fruit promises to be
cf exceptionally good Quality accord
ing to a report on the condition of
the yield In the United States and
Canada, received by W. D. Flnley, as
sistant secretary in Spokane of the
fifth Dry Farming Congress, from C.
P. Uothwell, secretary of the Inter
national Apple Shippers' association.
The report says In part:
"The Pacific group shows a decline
In but one Important state Colorado.
There are heavy Increases In Wash
ington and Oregon, and 'heavy increas
es in the less Important states of Ida
ho and Utah. The Important state of
California shows a moderate Increase
of 15 per cent, and for the - whole
group an increase of 60 per cent over
a year ago Is promised."
The output of Washington and Ida
ho will be 80 per cent tetter than In
1909. Mr. Rothwell says, while Ore
gon's crop will he 17S per cent ahead
of last year. Montana and New Mex
ico are 10 per cent under a year ago;
Utah, 100 per cent better: California,
15 per cent Increase, and Colorado,
80 per cent less than In 1909.
"In accordance wth the practice of
our association for several years," Mr.
Kothwell explains, "we make last
year's crop In each state the basis for
this year's estimate, Increasing or di
minishing the percentage as the crop
Is correspondingly lighter or heavier.
For Illustration: If a given state Is
rated at SO per cent, It means the crop
this year Is equal to four-fifths of the
crop of a year ago, or if given at tOO
per cent, the crop In such state Is Just
twice as large as a year ago.
Appended Is the crop estimate, with
percentage of yield, as compared
with 1909:

"Upon the Important question of
quality I will say that it Is decidedly
better than In 1909. New England.
New York and Ohio an promise a
much better quality than a year ago,
as does all the southern group, while
the Pacific group promises exception
ally good quality for the entire group,
which will be the heaviest ever har
vested. "The middle west or Ben Davis
group ranges from poor to good qual
ity. Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa show
considerable decrease, while Arkan
sas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Indiana
have substantial Increases.
"The central group, which Is the
largest producing group, shows In
creases in Ohio, Delaware and New
Jersey over last year; Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Wisconsin show con
siderable decline, with the Increases
not being sufficient to offset the
shortage, and this group shows a de
cline from last year of 5 to 10 per
cent.
"The New England group shows an
increase In the entire section, except
the unimportant state of Rhode Is
land, and for the whole group the
entire crop this year promises to be
above 40 per cent In excess of last
year.
"In the southern group, the Im
portant state of Virginia shows a de
cided Increase over last year, with
considerable Increase In West Virgin
ia and Kentucky, Maryland alone
showing a decrease In this group. This
group shows an Increase of fully 60
per cent over a year ago.
"Canada, not including the prov
ince of Nova Scotia, shows a decline
of 30 per cent over a year ago, early
varieties promising relatively better
than winter varieties. ' The Nova
Scotia district promised a good crop
until recently, but a very heavy drop
followed shortly after setting time,
and present prosects are for a light
crop, .poor quality and not to exceed
40 per cent of a year ago In quantity."
"If present prospects are maintain
ed until harvest time our country will
have a good outlet at moderate prices
to the consuming public,"
HYPNOTISTS BVTLDING
NEW LEGS ON CRIPPIJ2
New York. A helpless cripple for
23 years, his legs paralyzed and shriv
eled from cerebro-splnal meningitis,
Conrad Schaumberg will, it la prom
ised, be able to walk. Dr. Alfred J.
Fox, of the Hotel Grenoble, is devel
oping a pair of serviceable legs from
the inert ribbons of gristle by means
of hypnotic suggestion.
The treatments began last March,
and today the patient is able to stand.
His legs once blue, are pink and warm
with blood. One has increased an
inch and a half In circumference and
the other an inch.
Doctor Fox explained the treatment.
At first the cripple went to him only
twice a week to be hypnotized. Latter
ly he has been going to him every af
ternoon. Doctor Fox puts him to
sleep and then suggests to his sub
conscious mind pleasurable experi
ences, which call forth a reaction of
his entire consciousness. He hypno
tized Schaumberg in the presence of
witnesses.
"You are In a beautiful flower gar
den." he addressed the patient after
he went to sleep. "In the immediate
distance Is a fountain giving forth a
water which, If you drink It will give
you strength and energy, especially in
you legs. I will get some for you."
loctor Fox went Into the bathroom
and returned with a glass of water,
which Conrad eagerly received from
his hand, sitting up and drinking it,
his eyes tightly closed. Then he lay
back again.
"Feel the elixir coursing through
your veins," the doctor said, "reach
ing to your extremities, down your
logs," and he Btroked the shrunken
limbs. The patient smiled with sera
phic content.

flag tells you that its the right place
and you confidently ring the bell. A
colored youth answers and asks
whether you have letters of Intro
duction. 'Have I,' you say inwardly
as your chest swells, and you pass
over the tetters asking for the use of
one of the seats in parliament placed
at the disposal of our embassy. The
youth ushers you into a reading room.

of satisfaction you note your sur
roundings but keep your eyes mostly

"When I was there, through the
door came a regular stage English
man. With stiff neck and tilted nose
he stopped just inside tho door with
a pose reflecting a fear that he ex
pected a most disagreeable experience.
I wondered if he was going to see me
at all. Finally ho opened up with
the broadest kind of cockney. I spoke
of the letters I held and he said in
a superior manner he did not care to
see them. He knew I wanted a seat
in, parliament, he said. The embassy
had three seats nt its disposal hut he
didn't know whether he could !..t me
have one, and I might call in " few
days. All this with a contemluous
and supercilious manner and in a di
alect so broad I could hardly under
stand. I told him diplomatically a
few things and left the place. I may
be over-sensitive but it strikes me
that when an American visits a Unit
ed States embassy 'he has the right
of decert treatment and not to be
treated by a foreign flunky as though
he were a beggar or an Intruder."

IMMIGRANT CENTENARIAN.
0m to America to Grow Vp With
Ills Grandsons ami the West.
New York. A unique procession of
immigrants passed out of the iron
gates of the barge office landing at
the Battery. At the head was a
white-haired little man of leathery
complexion wearing large bone-trimmed
spectacles. He scorned the as
sistance of his gray-haired son and
his grandson a youngster of about SO.
The alert parchment-faced little man
Is Peter Bekel aged 107, the oldest
immigrant that ever has been admit
ted into any American port. He ar
rived with his son, George, aged 70.
and his grandson, Frederick, and
Frederick's two children, under 20.
Major Pemsey almost fell off his

Grandfather George and his son.
Frederick, straightened out their
things. The centenarian was a farm
er in soutnern uussia. His son
George's sons had gone away to Xorth
Dakota many years ago, and had rear
ed children and grandchildren. George
felt the call of the West and broach
ed the subject of emigrating to Am
erica to Great-grandfather Peter. The
centenarian had a strong desire to
look at those Yankee youngsters he
had heard about, and finally decided
that he would cross the Atlantic and
grow up with the new country.
Cltl'DE TIN RETURNS '
IN SHAPE OF CANS
Washington. A curious Instance of
the "round-a-bout" channels of com
merce is given In the report of an
American consul stationed In the Ma
lay peninsula.
The Malay peninsula, he states,
produces about 63 per cent of the
world's output of tin. The total pro
duction la valued at some $41,000,000.
The UnKed States consumes one
fourth of this. Now nearly one-half
of the total exports of the country to
the Malay peninsula are contained
in tin cans, the snme tin sent from
them in the crude form. A great
part of this export Is in one gallon
tin buckets containing petroleum.
After the contents of these cans have
been used, the natives convert them
Into every conceivable household
utensil. The interior of any Malay
or Chinese home in the peninsula,
says the consul Is filled with American
tin cans of every size and shape. Holes
are punched In them for sieves, they
are fashioned into dust pans, baking
and cooking utensils and water buck
ets. Indeed the demand has become so
great that it is branching Into an in
dustry and many men are employed
in making household utensils out of
second hand American tin cans, the
tin for which was mined at their
very feet.

but can be cured. Chamberlnln's Col
