SHORT A late report' of -the department of agriculture t-VtMMgtoit on tit fruit crop aliowi : New York Apples promising, but some rot. New Jersey Fall and winter apples fair in place, scare" m otuor; nearv hailstorm night of 28th, blew much fruit from the trees in central section. Pennsylvania Yield and quality o( apples better than expectea. Maryland and Delaware Apples in market. Virginia A ppka scare North Caroliua Apples scarce. Arkansas Apples fair. Tennessee truit crops promising. Missouri Short crop of peaches; oth er fruits fair. Illinois Apples carce? Indiana Apples suffering from blight. West Virginia Light crops of apples. Ohio Apples inferior, Michigan Apples generally promis ing. Wisconsin Apples fair crop. Iowa Apples doing well, exceptoe local 4atoaga by hsvy wind. Kansas Apples dropping. Montana High winds damaged apple crop in places. At a recent meeting of the Apple Shippers' association in St. Louis, the prers committee gave out a summary of crop., conuuiona wiucu snows mm a favorable Daianca is struct Between those sections which will have a less and those which will have, a greater yield of apples than hHXi, showing on the whole a slightly larger crop than last year. The European yield, it is slated, will be considerably greet! Una last year,, leaving a much larger quantity to be disposed of at horn In fixing priee, this will doubtless be i an important factor. Woodall 4 Co., apple" imeortnrs of Liverpool, furnish the Chicago Packer with valuable information as follows: "The apple crop in the United King dom is likely thie-eason to exceed any since 1900. The quality also promises to be good., "The total import- from, the United State and Caetula into, tit United Kingdorodarine the- pasfc season were 3,063,000 barrels, as against 2,330,000 barrels in tlie 'preceding year, constitute ing a record, the previous largest im port (in 181X1-7) being 2,1)37,000 barrels. Of the above 8,063,000 barrels, 1,016,000 were reeeived into Liverpool; "It is necessary once more to refer to thederadence of the good old Hudson Uiver Newtown Pippins, and although considerable quantity arrived, few, if any, came up to the standard for a high class trade, which is so essentially nuc essaiyt failini, in., this 4bty become of Uktl vidua. Should tlw quality of the coming crop be the same it would be better to pack any fine apples in boxes and dispose of the remainder on the home markets. Ey so doing, the few will return better results, than if all were shipped. "California Newtowns have . again been in large supply as compared with former years; they were throughout wanting In Appuaranua, which is their chief recommendation, besides which most of those stored with hopes of -better markets did badly through the fruit, falluig away in condition and, in conseiioenoe, a low- rang ol prices re suited, final salee- for sound four-tiers . being 8s to 8s Hd. the larger proportion being disposed oi at 6s to 7 aa eJiglttly wet, four ami one-half tiere sound at 4 W.I to 6s 3d per box. "Reports trout the chief continental growing district point toe large crop. "The consumption of. applet in this country iaa steadily increasing one ami there ia aaao fo supposing that it should not continue to be so." E. J. DeHartj reporting from Mud ford, says: I think at near as I can Judge at the present titno the fruit crop of this local ity it up to the standard of former seasons. Favorable conditions will Droduca a lamer twireentmm nf twrfeel four tier fruit, and careful spraying has lessened ine damage Dy codlln motli. A severe hail utoriu on Julv 10 caused a serious Injury to three of our largest orchards, which will cut down our out put to alxrnt 70 per eent of the regular crop. This It an unusual occurrence, being the second in fifteen years. Under the caption of "The Uneven Apple Situation," Orange Judd Farmer has the following interesting resume of the 11104 eutloub in this week Usuet The early reports from orchards in lttO were, indicative of an unusually good promise in almost every section of the country. In June, however, It be came apparent that in many Important districts, especiully west of the Alle ghany mountains, the tot of fruit wu not in keeping with the profuseneBS of uioom. This failure to ret fruit is mineral west of th Alleghany mountains, ex cept in Michigan, and is met with on the Atlantic slope south ot the valley of the Delaware river, awl in parts ot New England. la New York the set waeatowt normal, but it was rather under average in Ontario. As compared with last year, there is prospect of a considerably larger crop In northern New Knglaud and New jorx district, audi a somewhat largur yield in the western districts, so that in spite of a decrease In the total apple crop, when measured by volume only the prospect is fair for a somewhat largei volume of barreling apples. ' The crop in the western commercial districts, the Ohio. MUtuwinul. and Missouri vaiteys, it a very poor one, both in quantity and quality, but the cotuperitun is with a ttill poorer crop in PJ03, so that the present unsatisfac tory outlook bimmm possibly more com mercial frnit than last year. Aa a rule tho promise is better for tall than for winter fruit. In Ontario quality it fairly good, but the quality of the crop In Nova Scotia it inferior to the usual experience. In Michigan the crop promises larger than last year and of better quality. Indiana and Illinois are exceptions In the western district, allowing aa they do a promise even smaller than the exceedingly deficient crop of last year. Not only is the crop largely a failure throughout a large part of both states, but such fruit as is grown will be marked by very inferior quality. In Iowa there Is a fair promise for tall fruit in tlte northern and northwes tern counties, and somewhat more win ter fruit iu the southwestern counties than was the case last yean Taken as a whole, there is rather more liarreling riock wan a year ago, but the supply it ttill to limited at to b of little con sea lumua. The stUMtion in Missouri it exceed ingly meed. In the southern and south western counties there it consid erable increase over last year's crop, while in the central Missouri river counties the crop ia wry much short of last year. In no section of the state, however, it there a laryer crop or even a crop of fair volume, and while the ttate at a whole hat considerably more commercial iruit than a year ago, there is not enough to cut any particular fig ure in the question of supply. The crop in Kansas is considerably larger than that of a year ago, w ith the increace particularly marked in nnw of the northeastern counties. In the cen tral eastern countiesthe crjp is about as last year, while in the Arkannis val ley it it considerably smaller. - As is the cape with all the fruit west of the Alleghany mountains, except Michigan, the quality in the Missouri valley is very itoor.

Along the foot hills on the West Hide of the valley are some apple orchards that make as tine a showing as do the famous Kant Side orchards. The lun is a dark red clay. The orchards are well cultivated aud show that the own ers know something about fruitgrowing. the f.astman tiros., hart and Otis, situated on the west sido of Phelps creek, have t hoi r orchards looking splendid. Water is within ensv reach ot these larms. . 1 M ' Farther on up the creek is the Abcr iinthy place. Mr. Abcriuithy came here last year a total stranger to apple culture, but the manner in which he has tackled the propofitson and the appearance of his orchards show he is not slow to learn the secrets of success ful horticulture. Adjoining the Abernnthy place is E. Mielley fliorgau s truit ranch. Mr Morgan resides in Portland, but the place is ktpt in fine shape by a com potent foreman. The Frank Chandler ranch, formerly the Council place, is one of the oldest larms in Ilia valley, having Ih'vii cum vated for 20 years or more. It is today one of the best arm on the West iSnl The apple orchards are loaded with fruit, and the trees have the appearance of lie ing kept in first class shape. To the south of the Chandler place is the (i. R. Castner property. Air. Cast ner is the West Side fruit grower who has a record for apple outputs from a single acre that is equal to the best ol them. Last fall his Yellow Newtowns netted him from one single acre over $1,000. Hit orchard ihowi the effect of careful and close attention. His build ings are substantial, and his residence It supplied with all the comforts and conveniences of a citv homo. Airs. Castner has named the place liock-a-Feld, Fine Km in for Truck (iiinlen. The farm of A. L. Phelps two miles southwest of the city on Indian creek is oue of the best places in the valley (or truck garden. The land is a heavy rich muca inui wouiu grow lout ol vegctu- DICK. tne lanu, aooul seven acres ot the creek bottom, is now planted to clover, and tlte stand ot hay is very heavy Among the clover are apple trees that appear to lie doing well, notwithstand ing the abundance of moisture in the ground. Mr. Phelin has about 12 or 13 acres in his farm. Nome of it is situated on the hillside with a ninth slope that produces some of the very early berries of the valley. At present all the land is not covered with irrigating water, but there are spriiigs-en the place supplying aUmt 30 inches of water, which, by the use of a hydraulic ram could be easily placed to any part of the land. Mr. Phelpa has a cellar through which a running stream of water passses. This makes a splendid milk house, and in the strawberry season Mr. Phelps makes use of the cold storage room for storing his lierrivs until he is ready to haul the day's picking to the refrigerator cars. Sick Headache. "For several years my wife was troub led with what the physicians called sick headache of a very severe character. She doctored with several eminent physi cians and at a great expense, only to grow wom, until she was unable to do any kind of work. About a Year ago she began taking Clianilieilnin,n Stom ach and Liver tablets and today weighs more than she ever did before and is real well," says lieorge K. Wright of New London, New York.

Wool men comp'uin about the low price of Oregon wool mixht be inter- terested in knowing that about 30 tons of sand, washed out of the wool used by the Pendleton woolen mills, it now being dumped into the river bed at the le street bridge, says the East Oregon inn. This sand was paid for at the reg ular wool prices, and is washed out in the scouring procesr, and as the vats are being cleaned up, this high priced sand is dumped iuto the river, the wool en mills having no use for it. The pro portion of dirt in the unwashed wool may be judged from the difference in price of washed and unwashed wool. The unwashed article sells for about 15 cents, while ti e washed wool is worth from 55 to (15 cents. 1 lie weight is re duced about 65 to 70 per cent. Puts an End to It All.
