PAGE TWELVE F GOLD DISCOVERIES GLASGOW. Humors of Bold discov eries in Scotland are renewed, but no far there have been no rushes to spots where finds are reported. That the precious metal Is to be found In thut country has from time to time been Bhown by discoveries in Klldonan, Sutherlandshlre and Lan arkshire, but the quantity seldom has been equal in valuo to the cost of ex tracting it. Gold thus fur has been found in alluvial deposits but the miners be lieve that a gold-bearing reef exists Komewhero In the country as pieces of quartz contalnluR Bold have been pick ed up at different times. In paBt centuries, notably the Four teenth and Fifteenth, gold was found in Lanarkshire sufficient to make crowns for monarchs, and bowls, some times empty, sometimes filled with coins minted from the same source, were presented to foreign and friendly sovereigns. There was a rush to Kildonan In the slxtlos of the last century and some hundreds of prospectors flooded the district. ;.;J'he present gold rumors come chief-l,v(fi-om tie Lowthor Hills in Lanark shire where for centuries lead' mining nils been tho occupation of the villas-ij-B of Wanlpckhend and Leadhllls. In Jtaiftut .times the. district was. known us ."God's Treasure House" because considerable quantities of gold were uncovered there. ;' , . . For some months a wage dlsputo has niado the minors idle and they huvo spent their lime In the burns and hollows searching for gold, washing the soli in wooden troughs and occa sionally finding gold in small quantities. Fruit Damage in the East In the vicinity of Lardnrello, Italy, If you want to run nn onglno you sim ply tak the earth for volcanic steam. The following reports to the Oregon Growers will be of Interest to the orchardlsts of the Rogue lllver valley as showing the serious losses sustain ed by fruitgrowers elsewhere: Portland, Ore., April 21!, 1921." Oregon Growers Packing Curpn -Medford, Oregon. Gentlemen: Since writing you this week, we have received another letter from our home office under date of the 18th. On the nights of the 17th and 18th occurred another still more disastrous freeze, this time embracing the sec tion which escaped the first ones i. e. Michigan, northern Ohio and New York state. We quote from this let ter as follows: "We had four inches of snow here yesterday. The telegraph wires were a half inch thick with Ice. Trees all out in bloom except apples. This no doubt cleans up everything except ap ples In HiIh state, and there will be a very small crop of these. All peaches, cherries and small fruit in New York are gone. I think Colorado must be cleaned up as they bad fourteen inches of snow the day after Hud (our repre sentative) left there. We expect him nome (lie end of this week. If you have a crop you ought to get a big price." It occurs lo us that now is the lime to use this knowledge. Wo feel that this has entirely changed the outlook for the fruit growers for this year. While all of us cannot help but de plore this terrible loss which has oc curred to our eastern friends, it has presented a situation which will on able your customers to recoup their Ioshos of Inst year, i'loase call their attention to the fact that there will be plenty of poor fruit, for what little truu occurs in the east will bo un- sprayed, misshapen from tho freeze and practically cull stuff. Your ens tomcrs cannot make mouoy raising culls to meet this cull competition cast. Good clean fruit alone will be profitable. Spraying makes this pos sible. We trust that tills nows will cause you to redouble your sales effort. THE HAIIIB MFG. COMPANY. Apple Crop Ruined Hagorstown, Mil., April 13, 1921.

Gentlemen: You state that you no tice in tho morning paper that our sec tion has again been visited with the frost. This information is correct and from tho reports we are receiving, it would indicate that the entire fruit crop in tills territory is almost a com plete failure. There may be a few apples scattored around occasionally, but we can get no information that there are any peaches whatever left and in most instances, the growers claim they positively have no apples left. The writer personally visited a good many orchards and while he has found a few apples, It looks as though there were not enough left on tho trees to pay for spraying and harvesting. This is of course a very hard blow on us. We were doing a very nice business just prior to the freeze and it was looking the best It had at any time during tho year and wo hoped to have, been able to have cleared up a largo percentage of the stock wo had on hand and round out a fairly successful year's business, but our sales stopped as promptly as though Bhut off by a spigot. We have run down a few pros pects that we thought were good only to find that they did not have a dol lar's worth of fruit loft and conse quently needed no spraying machinery or material. Hut of course no one could foresee this disastrous freeze. If yon have any suggestions to offer, they will be more than thankfully re ceived. THE H. V. HART CO. suits nowadays.

H. llnrdie, Hurdle Mrs. Co., Hudson, Mich. Dear Mr. Hurdle: With reference to your recent letter and your conversa tion with Mr. W. L. English regarding apple prospects here, let us tell you Mr. English Is very much mistaken In his statements. We know what we aro talking about, when we tell you the apple crop in Ilontoii und Wash ington counties will not bo 10 per cent of a normal crop. We will havo n few Jonathans and possibly a rew other earlier varieties. Tho lute varieties are approximately all gone. Now bear this stntcment In mind and nt harvest tlmo see who is right. We only wish It wero possible fpr lis to seo it ai Mr. English pictured It to you. Vciy few of our orchartl mon are even going to keep up spraying. Doubt If 10 or 15 per cent of them will look after spraying their orchards from now on. Uoforo tho freeze our sales wero running on an average of J 1600 per day. Since the freczo they will not avcrago $500 per day. Now it you can toll us how to reduce our overhead and all other expenses 01! 2-3 per cent in comparison with our sales, wo will consider you n roal boncfactor. DENTON COUNTY HARDWARE CO. By W. J.
