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.

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 Hardie Mfg. Co., Hudson, Mich.
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.

From Arkansas
Dnntonville, Arkansas, April 12, 1921
Mr. 11. 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.
