HOW 10 ESTIMATE
APPLE PRODUCTION
IT
T
Quito a dlffercnco exists between
tho ripurcs reported on the apple
crop in tlio Northwest Ihls sedson
liy tho United States Department ot
Agriculture and tho report ot tho
statistical department of tho North
west Fruit Exchange, according to
comparisons mado by Mr. A. P. Date
ham, vice president of tho exchango.
Tho department estimated 13,300,
000 bushels of apploa for tho four
Northwestern states as follews:
Montana, 900,000 bushels; Idaho,
1,500,000 buBhels; Washington, 7,
600,000; Oregon, 3,300,000 bushels.
Tho figures as presented by Mr.
Btteham's final and official report
total 8,805,000. divided In tho states
as follews: . . -
Montana, 189;000 bushels; Idaho,
030,000 bushels; Washington, 6,
3G3.000 bushels; Oregon, 1,323,000
bushels.
The publishing ot these compari
sons brought forth a statement from
the department, saying that their
figures might easily bo erroneous in
respect to the commercial crop owlns
to the policy hey use of 'taking Into
consideration even the small, barn
yard orchards, practically admitting
that every farm in tho United States
hnd an applo" orchard. 'This condi
tion seems hard to understand, owing
fo the little or apparently no need
for ascertaining and Including the
small hand-full-of-treos orchard,
which In no way can materially affect
the total supply and demand, owing
toto tho home consumption or un
marketable condition of which prob
ably mos,t of, this may be considered.
However, to Include what Is admit
ted by tho Department as uncom
mercial in tho general estimate of
merchantable apples is looked upon
as decidedly unnecessary, especially
in view ot tho fact that this over
estlmato may bear considerable rela
tion to the market values.
Considering every apple in the
country, whether merchantable oh
not and giving out a general esti
mate would ndturally show decreased
possibilities of demand.
Tho Department said In its reply
that it desired tho grower to rcalizo
that by Investigation of recent yearb
tho department has learned that only
about forty per cent ot the total yield
is commercial. It goes on to say
that this year's estlmato falls Bhort
of the figures of 1012 by about 25,
000,000 bushels. This, in Itself,
means qulto a difference, without sub
tracting the sixty per cont that will
jiovar reach the market,
The Stato Horticultural Society of
Kansas, In a recent letter to tho sta
tistical department ot the Exchange
expresses Itself as cognizant of tho
over-e8ttma,to of tho crop by the gov
ernment in their state, which has
been estimated at throe times greater
than actual condltlons'indicato. That
office Joins the Exchango in its hopes
that a moro equal rating can bo ex
pressed, In tho reports as Issued ,by
the dopartmont In Washington.

PIN HEAD AND HAT PIN
WOMAN suffrage lenders in the United States are
evidently playing the same sort of polities that their
militant sisters across the seas indulge in.
Lloyd-George was the stauneh friend of suffrage in the
British cabinet, as well as advocate of enlightened human
itarian policies, therefore the suffragettes showed their
appreciation by dynamiting his home because the na
tional administration would not make equal suffrage a
party issue.
Similarly, George E. Chamberlain, as governor ana
senator, has been the staunch champion of suffrage for
many years, therefore the suffragists show their appreci
ation by sending a woman to Oregon to campaign against
him because the nntionnl administration would not indorse.
a suffrage amendment.
'
In Oregon, Chamberlain championed equal suffrage in
many campaigns long before it won friends enough to be
enacted into law. In "Washington, Chamberlain reported
favorably upon a national suffrage amendment and cham
pioned it upon the floor of the senate in a ringing speech.
lie has been the suffrage leader in the senate.
In Medford, Chamberlain was the only senatorial can
didate who ever championed suffrage, from the platform,
and many local women suffrage workers are actively seek
ing his defeat.
If Chamberlain was in England the suffragists would
show their gratitude for many years of labor in their be
half by dynamiting his home and horsewhipping him in
public. Being in America, they merely seek his political
ruin.
Because President "Wilson will not make equal suffrage
a party issue, the suffragists seek his retirement. The fact
that he has saved the women of America from heartaches
jjy keeping the nation out of a bloody war is not nearly so
important to these narrow-minded creatures as the fact
that he refuses, as party leader, to disrupt his party by
new issues at a time when party harmony is essential in
carrying out the program he is pledged to.
In England the suffragists have dropped their mili
tancy to support the administration in its war program.
In America the suffragists are militant in their efforts
to defeat the administration in its peace program.
It is questionable whether the pin-head policy of the
suffragists in America will advance their cause any better
than the hat-pin policy ,of their sisters over the seas.
American Doctrines Not Outworn
It is time for nil American1' to hnve
n new baptism of faith in the ohl
American creed of liberty nml pop

it wns not the fnliiun m this country

along with the growth of great for

"Little Landers" Live Without Worry
"A little land and a living surely
Is better than desperate struggle
and wealth possibly,' Is the motto ot
a colony ot COO persons, known In
Southern California as tho 'Little
Landers,' who form n co-operative
agricultural community at San
Ysldro, a short distance from San
Diego," says the October Popular Mo

of families whose landholdlngs repre
sent only what their members arc
capable of cultivating thoroughly and
easily without employing help.
"A bringing together of social and
Intellectual advantages with hus
bandry Is the principal Idea back ot
the organization. Each person has
an equal voice In the affairs ot tho
colony, the business management of
which Is In tho hands of a board of
directors whose recommendations aro
voted upon and disposed ot at town
