A Defense of the Ben Davis Apple by
a Handler.
Chicago Packer.
To The Packer Iu a recent issue of
your valuable paper the writer was
somewhat amused but very much eur
prised to read an article written bv my
nM ami nersonal friend. P. M. Kiely, of
St. Louis, on the apple situation, but
more especially ins remarics on uen
Davis, the standard commercial apple
of the country, especially of the West,
which is now acknowledged as the apple
nrnrtiicint? center of the country.
Mr. Kiely says the Ben Davis is
doomed and is already a -nas neen.
Now Mr.Kielv vou and I are both
young men, but' neither of us will ever
see the dav when the Hen Davis will be
relegated to the rear. I will predict that
after we Dotn nave mauo our entry m
the aDDle orchards of the other world
we will look down on our brother mer
chants left behind and will see them
handling apples just the same and three
fourths of them will be Ben Davis. We
will see the horticulturists planting out
new orchards and three-fourths of them
will be Ben Davis.
I can't understand why my friend
lias taken such a sudden and decided
stand against this very popular commer
cial anule. In a previous article, Mr.
Kiely made the statement that he never
packed or bought a barrel of apples in
all his career as a produce dealer, that
lie was strictly a commission merchant,
this may in part explain why he took
this position not being familiar with the
demands ol Uie leading appie marxeis
of the country, he was not posted.
In my experience as a commission
merchant, especially of late years,! have
realized that the commission merchant
seldom receives anything that the ship
per could sell himself. Mr. Kiely stated
that on October 11, 10,000 barrels of ap
ples were unloaded at Saint Louis, and
that nine-tenths of them were Ben Davis
and that the best stock of this variety
sold for f 1.50 per barrel. Now if this
was the casM which I do not doubt),
something was radically wrong, either
the fruit was no good or Saint Louis is
no apple market. We as a firm are not
apple kings by no means (please excuse
the personality), but our mail on Octo
ber 20 and 27 contained 52 letters from
17 different states, all from leading
apple dealers of their respective
markets and nine-tenths of their inqni
ries were for Ben Davis apples. I mere
ly mention this to show the drift of the
feeling for this favorite apple w inch my
friend says is doomed.
One of these inquiries was from Bos
ton asking quotation on 5,000 barrels of
our fine Western Ben Davis suitable for
export. This was about the tone of all
thether inquiries.
Please compare the sales in foreign
markets of Ben Davis with JNew York
Baldwins and it don't take a blind man
to see that they trot in the same class.
Last week we sold 25 cars of straight Ben
Davis and could have sold more if we
could have got cars to load them in.
Don't understand me to say that Ben
Davis is the only apple or the best eating
or sooking apple.but I do Bay that itisto
the VY est what the Baldwin is to the hast,
it is the best commercial apple of the
country, and just as long as it fills these
requirements just so long will it suit the
grower, the packer and the seller.
Mr. Kiely advises the agricultural
journals to give timely warning to their
readers, to the fruit growers, to the
nursery trade and to all others inter
ested, that public taste is improving,
that Ben Davis is doomed. Now .friend
Kiely this is an injustice to our old
friend Ben. I don't think that you or
the agricultural journals should do any
thing of the kind, until by actual ex
perience you hnd some other variety
that will take the place of this favorite
commercial apple.
This advice would certainly be very
discouraging to large apple growers who
nave already planted and are still plant
ing 500 and 6,000 acres to apples and
three-fonrth8of them Bei. Davis. Give
the devil his dues and I predict that the
Ben Davis is not doomed. C. V. Clem
. A" Difference of Opinion.
-Hood River, Ore., Nov. 10, 1902. Ed
itor Glacier: Kindly note attached clip
ping from the editorial columns of the
Denver field and farm :
"A miserable apple appears on the
market. It is spongy, stringy, tangy,
acid, niatuient, juiceiess, and gen'
erally unsatisfactory for eating, stew
ing, baking, pieing, drying, apple-but
tering, cideriug or vineganng, but it is
of good size, rich in color and generally
showv in annearance and hovers nintp n
call for it. Is urserymen are compelled to
grow it. UrchardiHts are foroed to sup
ply it. Everybody is determined to
have it. This is the history of Ben
Davis in the west.
Wonder where the editor of the Field
and Farm buys his Ben Davis. To the
commendable features named by the
editor he can erase his denunciatory re
marks and add the following for Hood
Kiver Ben Davis when intelligently
grown and handled: His a firm, good
grained, sub acid, fairly well-fiavored,
juicy as a Spifzenberg, and a fine apple
generally for stewing, baking, pieing,
drying, apple-buttering, cideriug, vine
garing, and is the earliest to come into
bearing, is the heaviest and surest crop
per, therefore the most economical to
grow, is the hardiest and will stand the
most abuse, therefore the best for the
amateur to plant, and is a very palatable
eating apple when by reason of its su
perior keeping qualities, all other apples
nave passed into "inoccuous desuetude,"
is one of the very best shippers, if not the
best shipper grown, as evidenced bv the
test shipments made last year to Japan
and China, where the very much slan
dered BenDavis registered very nearly 100
per cent more to the good than any of
the other varieties represented in the
shipments. Is it any wonder that the
people demand it, that nurserymen
are compelled to grow it and orchardists
are forced to supply it. Everybody,
truly, is determined to have it, unless it
' may be a few crunks who have an ax
to grind. Away back in the ViOs there
was a craze or fad swept over the coun
try condemning long dresses for women
and advocating "bloomers", and all the
dresses had to he abbreviated. But now
you find them frequently two or hree
yards long. Just so now, too, it is the
fashion to cuss rho Hen Davis. If the
editor will give me his home address, I
will ship him a box of Ben Davis from
my orchard and if he w ill properly care
for and use it and it does not come op
the standard I have outlined for a Ben
Davis, it shall cost him nothing, if
on the other baud the apples have not
fallen short of my description of the Ben
Davis, he will pay the expressage on the
apples, give me a year's subscription to
his Field and Farm, and in future con
fine his remarks to personal experience
with the 15en lHsvis instead of publish
ing the vaporings of some crank.

Colonel James McKibben, editor of
the Senator, was ia Hood River and
visited the K. of P. lodge Tuesday, re

8. E. Bartmess, Earl Clark and W. B.
Cole,(the latter skipping out so quietly
jast at train time, that our pencil pusher
failed to get his Argus eye on his physi
ognomy last week,) report a great hunt
up in the wheat belt. They reached
home Saturday morning and have 22
geese and a couple of "has been" frisky
jack rabbits as evidence of their prowess
In the field. The unfortunate rabbits,
though, were several sises smaller than
the wild-eyed "muel" that treed Mr.
Blount recently. Mr. Bartmess says it
is a great country for geese and jack rab
bits, but that there is such an army of
hunters there, that the game is as wild
and hard to capture as the ideas of the
"sweet girl graduate" on commence
ment day.
About the nicest box of apples seen in
Hood River this year is on exhibition at
Hartley's grocery. The apples were
grown and packed by D. N. Byerlee and
are big red Yakimas, three tier, 54 in
the box. Colonel Hartley bought them
to present to his friend Conductor Alli
son of the O. R. & N. When the box of
apples was delivered Wednesday, Mr.
Byerlee received an -order for another
box of the same variety at $2. Mr. By
erlee deserves great credit for growing
such fine apples, but at the same time
deserves censure for "not making an ex
hibit at our fair. His only excuse for
the latter is that he didn't have time.
The telephone office hus been im
proved by the addition of a new switch
board, which makes provisions for two
centrals to operate simultaneously.
One central can serve as before, howev

withstanding the inconvenience caused
by the process of chang:ng, the improve
ment is so well appreciated by the cen
trals that you can even hear their con
gratulatory smiles by wire.

The Pumpkin Pie Social.
The pumpkin pie social of the W. R

socially. Ernest Jensen had the hall
decorated in a manner to arouse niitrl
oiie enthusiasm. Pictures of Washing'
ton, Lincoln, Grant, Sherman and Me
Kinley were conspicuously posted wilh
flans and bunting of red, white and
blue. Lunches were served from half
past twelve until 7 p. m., after which
the following-programme was rendered:

The receipts were over 27, for which
the ladies of the corps are very gratified
and desire to thank hII who contribu
ted to make the affair such a pleasant
success, and especially do they thank
the mediants of Hood River for their
generous donations. Mis. Goddard
and Captain Shaw are also gratefully
remembered.
Not the least pleasant part of the
evening's entertainment was in the
early evening, when Mrs. S. A. Knapp,
Mrs. F. E. Jackson and A. A. Jayne
sang old war songs, the comrades and
others joining in the caorus. Mrs.
Knapp and Mrs. Jackson took turns at
the organ. . S. S,
Library Entertainment.
The entertainment for the benefit of
of the up-to-date library was a success
from start to htush. the church had
been newly carpeted and was decorated
with flowers. E. S. Smith generously
donated the use of his fine nhonoffraoh
and choice records. Every num ber on the
programme was well executed, and
elicited rounds of applause from the de
lighted audience. The Misses Lewis
were deserving of highest praise. The
younger one especially, as she handled
her violin with the hand of a master.
Mrs. Butler's solo, as her work alwavs
is, was exceedingly well done, and she
was as skillfully and admirably accom
panied by Mrs. P. S. Davidson. The
stringed quartet turned out to be a
quintet by the addition of Miss Agnes
Ingbretson to those of the quartet, Mr.
and Mrs. Rees.and Mr, and Mrs. Knapp.
Their music was of the highest order,
and it was bewildering to watch their
nimble fingers playing at hide and seek
among the strings. Mr. Butler then
opened the hearts and pocketbooks of
the audience by a humorous call for a
collection. The very rainy, stormy
night prevented many from coming, who
wouiu otherwise nave been present; but
the people responded liberally and the
colters ot the library were burdened
with 14a of Uncle Sam's big iron dot
lars. Alter Mr. Butler had comnla
cently shaken hands with himself over
the financial success of the entertain
ment, the closing number, a piano duet;
was given by Misses Prudence Patterson
of the Dalles, and Gluddys Hartley
Well, now. vou should have heard it.
Both the young ladies are accomplished
musicians, and they played together
just like a pair of twins. The audience
stood right np on its "hind feet.as Sam
jones would eay, in ltsertortsto show
its appreciation. Miss Hartley took
Miss ratterson home with her, fed her,
took the very best care of her. and re
turned her to The' Dalles in as good
conuiuon, pnysicauy, mentally and mor
ally as when she came down. Will The
Dalles papers kindly take note. The
personel of the programme have, indi
vidually and collectively, the gratitude
and highest appreciation of the Un-to-
date library and the Hood River public
woo were entertained oy them.

A Chicken Dinner.
One of the most pleasant- and enjoy
able affairs that has lately transpired
in the jungles of Hood River was that of
a chicken dinner given by Mr. and Mrs.
Horace Stranahan at their model home
on the hill to a 'few of their special
friends. The morning was spent in
merry chat but every one was glad when
the electric dining bell called us to a
beautifully decoratad table groaning
under its ponderous weight Mrs. Stran
ahan deserves much praise for such a
feast. Among the good things were
ohicken pot pie, fresh strawberry short
cake, mushroom salad served in banan
na skins, and other things too numer
ous to mention. The afternoon was
spent in music, songs and elocution un
til the late hour of six, when all re
paired to their homes, hoping that such
a pleasant day might come again soon.
