AN ECHO FROM THE WORYM APPLE STORY Wo are in ruculnt of a cuiumnuicu tioD wljicli wo print below Knout the wormy apple. It (IImciihsoh tlio mutter in a HHiiiimitirionl Imt inlnlllKuiit ond frank piHimor that taunt prove inter flutiiiK to the reader. There 1h both trutli and fancy in the article and no doubt Home of our reader can make a reply to it. it in an followa "Kditor Glacier: Home tiuin buck there appeared an tirtide of Home length, by a few of the lutliiimtiul an plo Kroivei'8. aittiiiHt aeilinu aeaoud Kraile fruit. Ihey all Htfreed that it U an eiiHV matter to keep the trult free from worms and pehtn. If thin is bo, why bother their nelirhlioru about spraying, when they have tho monop oly of ay-tetna aud prlcenr "'i'he llrxt unido applea are selling now for more money per IiiimIjhI than two-thirds of the people of the world can afford lo pay, Thowe Koutlemon expect tho poor people to eat prune and canned applea until the codling moth are extinct. Then of oourae ap plet will : be cheaper. Any fool can then ruiHO first grade apples. The KiiKliuh Hi iHtoiTHtH eat our aeyen dol lar apples, aud the poor people and those who dine at our beut hotels aud rOhtiuirHnttj eat the cuUh. If there watt not no brink a demand for those things, tho grower would uot try to save them. Krery one knows that it is not protflubie to raiHO this fruit. Hot we nil have some. Many an edu cation anil many a mortgage hat: been rained by people with tin ill enough to take cnie of the refuse on the farms. These meu say : 'Put all the ignor ant people out of tho apple business.' Who will be left? "Our best growers have adopted clean culture rather recently anil ex perimentally. Is it not jnt that they give thoir lens enlightened neighbors a chauoe? Fifteen or twenty year ago those same gentlemen would have 'hollered' at the laws. "If tho best growers will kindly como forward now ami donate all the funds heretofore gained from second grade fruit to tho cause of bettor ed ucation on fruit cnl'ure they will be well along toward geuerul perfection. "It Is well known that any one who can thoroughly manipulate tho busl net cud of a spraying outilt can by timely work and pure materials save practically all t'n) fruit from pests on any tree or orchard, whether the rest of tho trees or orchards in that vicin ity are sprayed or not. Let each grower give his own orchard a 'square deal' and then let those who are free from ptwts cast the ilrst stone. "Is there any oertaiuty that com pulsion will produce clean fruit? lias that been tho Incentive of our bent horticulturists? Tho orchard might belong to a widow woman with a largo family, the trees may ue a mixture ot varieties (public taste cbauges quicker than you can ohaugo an orchard), the soil and Intuition may bo lacking, and she haB to depend on an indlll'orent hired man who does not know enough t o spray one side of a tree or an entire apple on that true. J)o theso gentle men propose to put her out of busi ness, wheu her near neighbor who has grown up with tho trees and has sup eriuteuded the entire cultural meth ods for j' emu Uuds liimnolf asking: 'How Shall 1 spray? Vi lint shall 1 plant, etc. ? "1 suggUHt that each grower fuml gato or disinfect all second grade trult as soon as picked, whether Hold or not. Tho 11 rst lrood of codling moth has always left tho apples before picking time, ami also a majority of the sec ond brood ; what are left are hauled to the canneries and cider iactorioH, where they crawl out and winter. It is hard to believe that the modest hugging of a cider press will annihi late the Sa i Jose scale, especially the yciing lemales. "following are a few suggestions for Intruding oruhirdists: "1. llandiige your trees to catch the worms. It's a howling advertise ment as to your methods of spraying. Operate tho spray pump with a heavy wind so your near neighbors w ill be forced to spray. "2. In giving to charitable institu tions, etc., ehvaysgivo the best fruits; the receivers u .ight thoughtlessly drop a scaly peeling or woimy core in the shiubbery. "it. In picking, climb trees with caulks in your shoes; you might fall. Shako tro is wheu needed; put apples ill sacks and wash tubs; heap all boxes; work fro.-ty mornings and rainy days, "4, .11 ire the neighboring women to wipe your apples so they can settle all disputes at your expense; have each lady sit down that she may work more rapidly. Let them take each ap plo without looking, give it two rotary nourishes with one hand and a rous ing outT with the othei, and throw it uot over four feet. "."i. Hire ail packing done by the box, so t hat one packer may sw ipe all tho Urgo apples from tho rest iff the crew, snd so they can all pack anything in a pinch to make a record. "tl.

In them are to be found cuts aud prioes of the va rious articles they Lave for sale, at what they claim to be much cheaper prices than can be found in the home to n. About the dearest way to buy any thing is through the medium of a cat alogue. The difference between the picture of the article or at tides you intend to buy and the goods them selves when you receive tbem is quite startling. There is nothing quite so deceiving as a photograph. An illus tratiou of thla can be found In the tact that while most people think it is necessary to put on their best bib and tucker when they are going to "have their picture took, "any photographer will tell you that if the clothe fit it doesn't make any diBureuce I i tber they have quality or uot. Tl e pre vailing mode has of course Its influ ence in making the picture tppear smooth. You wouldn't expect a hat or coat of the vintago 1H30 to pear quite as pleasing as the tailored clothes of today. It is so with the catalogue pictures of jewelry they look nice, but the quality isn't theie. As to prices, we have it flora the jewelers in this city that tbey can meet and beat the prices off ered in these catalogues on the same goods, ilefore you docide to order anything by catalogue, see the local dealers. This applies to all liu s of trade at well as jewelry. You will not then be buying a "pig in a bag."

A LETTER I wish to say to all our old friends and custom ers who for so many years came to our shop for their meats, that it is useless for me to introduce Wood Bros., our successsors, as their 18 years in the butcher business in Wasco county has made them so widely known that nn introduction is un necessary.

I expect to stay with the new firm for awhile, and will be glad to see you all at the old stand. 1 will guarantee that you will get just as much meat for your money, just as courteous treatment and just as prompt service as can be had in the city.
