Come in and secure some GENUINE BARGAINS THE APPLE CROP OF CALIFORNIA The PajBro valley In at preaont the only important HuippiiiK point (or ap ple in California. A few iotlier sec tioiiB, such as Sonoma and BeliitHto (,ol, noted for early UraveunteiiiH, the Santa Clara valley, and placet) in Huffibodlt and Lake coiintioa and In tbe Sierras, are local shippers to San Franolaoo, and in the southern part of tbe itate, Arroyo Urande, Lorn par valley and the Julian district are tributary to hot Augeleg. None of these minor points now produce Bultloieut apple of export trade. The output of the valley In 11X15 was 3,000 carlodn of 15 tons each. The crop this year will be about the name. In the course of a few years the out put will larjely increase as not one half of the orchards are et bearing. The Pajaro valley testa its reputa tion principally on two varieties of yellow apples, the liellllower and Now town Plpptu, although other varieties are laised. Apples have been raised oonunero lully In the Pajaro valley for the last twenty years. The business was small until 181)5, whan Newtowns were (list exported to England. That oouutry welcomed them warmly and exports to Kurope grew from 14,000 boxes in 1895 to 1(!,(XX) boxes in 1U05. Until latoly the shipping business was entirely in the hands ot packers who bought tbe apples for lump sums ou the trees from the orchardlsts, but In the last three years the custom ol handling the fruit ou commission has grown in favor, the orchardist pick ing his fruit and hauling to the pack ing house where It Is packed and marketed on a commission basis. Tblt system gives better results both to buyer and seller. Bales of orchards for lump sums ot money are demons Ing, although it will be many years before they disappear altogether. The package used Is the Watson ville box, 0in.xllx221n. for four and four and half tier, and l)in.xl'2.'2?lu. for three tier. Apples are graded into the following sizes: I'our-and-nall tier, 2'ilu. to liVlu. lu diametei; four tiei, 2 to 3 In. in diameter; throe tier, above 3 In. Id diameter. It is to be regretted that we hare Dot a fruit package law, such as exists In Canada, it presenl tne pacKoi turning out llrst class pack, true to quality and description marked ou the box, has to compote with more or loss dishonest packs put up by unscrupu lous and Ignorant packers. In the matter of transportation, the Pajaro valley is dependent on a single line, the Southern Paoillo. It Is pos sible, however, that in a year or two It may have a competing line, either the Western Paclllo or the Sauta J'e. The valloy is also cursed with au ex elusive refrigerator car contract be tween the Southern Pacitlo and one of the leading refrigerator oar lines. It is to be hoped that time will soon remedy both of these evils. The culture of apples has so far beou profitable, both to raisers and to packers and shippers. Ot course, ns in all sections whore apples are raised in quantities, pests have appeared to wony the orohardisU. The San Jose scale, the woolly aphis and the codliu moth have been the principal enemies. isoieutltlo spraying, systematic methods and caiful culture have so far overcome all of these dllllculties, al though they are not exterminated ami will appear again as soon as care is relaxed. P. W. Morse lu the Packer, Newliullim Apple Deal. Ilenjamiu Newhall, of Chioago, well known as an expert ou apples, when vsked lor au opinion the suasou turn ending and the coming deal, had the following to say to the Packer "The wind up of the seasou 1005-HMi in ap pies has been, lu tbe main, satisfying to the trade. Some bad spots there have been, but they were not serious, nor many. "A few have lost money, not many; a few have brokeu even ; a good many have made a fair profit, and a few a uomparatively heavy one. "Probably tho deal has nmdo an av erage of 'JO per cent profit on the money invested. " l'he I'M crop went Into storage al n high price-the highest since 11KH and there were Rome periods when the heavy holders sonroely dared face the music, and tried to forget the cost ol their goods and the prospects for their sale. "What is before us for this season? The crop guesseiB are busy. You can take your choice of estimates of thit crop from 50 per cent over Jatt yearV sma'l total to 100 per cent more than the formor biggest crop in lMKi. "It Is early yet. There Is time for bitter rot, drought and storms. On the other hand quality, healthy ap pearance ot tbe foliage, and favorable weather at blooming time may mako s oiop of baireling apples larger than the largest estimate that has yet been made, aud the man who can foretell il correctly well, we want him on om titati at 110,000 per year, and no queu tiona asked." Government Apple Crop licpori. Washington, I). O., July 30.-111 government crop report gives the peroeutage conditions of the apple crop la each of the states and territo ries. Compared with the conditions la June apples In New Kugland how a detei juration of 3 to 15 points, the conditions ranging from 77 to M. in the section from York state to Vir ginia there was a decline during June 1 of 6 to 15 points and the condition July 1 ranged from 65 to 75. The low est oooditioni were in Maryland 1st and are selling 1 hem for Hen, Women and Children's Shoes BLOWERS where they were from 50 to 00, this being au olf year in those two stall's. The York state condition is given as 75. In tho central states, that is from Pennsylvania west to the Mississippi river, the crop maintained a good condition during June, the heaviest loss being 0 points, while Illinois lo t nothing and one or . wo other states lost but a point or two. One surpris ing featuie of tho report Is that it makes the condition in Arkansas only 50, while Missouri is given as Hi!, or one point higher than ou June 1. The Kauss condition is given as 78. Ihe heaviest loss in con it ion in any one important state is that of Colorado, which dropied from 1)7 June 1 to 80 July 1. Other western states did not chunge materially during the month. Saul hern Oregon Fruit. O. A. Hover, of Phoenix, a promi nent fruit grower residing in the heart ot the liogiie Kiter fruit dlstiiut said to the Oiegonian: "There will be au extru heavy crop of pears. Ol the newer varieties, the Liuoiro liosc and L)u Comici wiJl bear perhaps tbe heaviest yield known to growers, but the D'Anjous will be a light crop. Winter NollieH, LSartletts aud other common varieties, are the llnest crop we have ever known. Tbe trees are not heavy laden, but the uunlity and size of the fruit is unex oelled. "Prunes will be a nood crop much above Ihe average. The tiees are well loaded aud the fruit Is ot Hue size aud quality. "Peaches are a very light crop, Mule's Karly, Early Alexanders and other oxtra early varieties will be fair ly good yield, but Crawfords, Muirt ami other staple varieties will not pro- duo over olio-fourth of au average ci nit. "Among apple varieties. Newtowns will be u good crop, but Hpitzenbergs, lieu Davis and practically all othei varieties will be a vory light crop. The apples shipped from Southern Oregou orchards this Fall' will be nearly all Newtowns. "The berry ctop bas been good, but tbe seaBou was short, owing to the extremly hot weather of week be fore last. I'he hay crop Is the heavi est ever knowu in tho valley, but as much what was out tor hay, the grain yield will be light. "Have you heard about our artes ian wolls?" be asked. "They are go ing to provo a great blessing to the orchardists who have no irrigating ranttities. The well on M. ii. Pel lol t's farm, near Talent, now tlows 41 inches of water at high velocity. 1).

Wickson, of the Pa cillo liural Press, has recently sent out a number of querioa to leading trull growers in the Pacillo oouil states relative to irrlgatiuu foi size, quality, y it'll aud commercial sulta liility of fruits. A summary of the replies from tho Pacillo Northwest In dicate, that where the grower Irrl gales he considers the product super lor, and where there is no irrigation Unit the fruit may be considered at good with better keeping quality, evi dence ot prejudice lu favor of what method is under practice. As fruit growers aie learning to use water judiciously, aveiage crops show better lesults with than without arti llciul watering. Italian primes of the poorest keeping quality ever shipped to the St. Paul market came from an over irrigated orchard, while the same variety of prune grown ou uuii inigated upland soil has been shipped to Kngland, arriving in good condi tion ami sold at nrotltable prices. The poor keeping duality ot the prune from the irrigated orchard was no cloul t due to over-watering, for Italian prunes with good keepitig quality have been grown iu irrigated orchards where a pioper application of water lias been made. J I is too frequently the case in hu mid sections that a "too dry" fall will cause weak fruit buds for next season, while the Irrigator giving sutllcieiil mi Uture in mid-sumniei can avoid that ditllculty. Too many of the "rain-depeiiding" orchards are nut properly cultivated, or else the mulch crop is insiitllient or is removed, leaving the trees with too litt e nour ishment. It makes lillle dillerence to a tree wl. ether imi'sture comes ftom one source or the other, only so the ground is damp enough for the action of plant-food making bacteria, while on the other hand not so wet that the trees must perform merely the fuuo tiiou of wind mill pumps.

The question now arises, what is to bo done vitli the dishonest grower who pucks liis peaches with the niton tiou of robbing the commission mer chnnt. Ou Monday of this week Tho Packer man was walking along tho tlnot and observed a 1 it m Teas Hat crates filled with wliut Hpperud to lie perfect specimens of Ihe luscious Klliertns. Iu each basket llmre appeared tbrougli tho opening iu the crute three nice large peaches which tilled the basket The Packer niau remarked wlmt line peaches you have tlieio. "Yes," re plied tho commission merchant in a tone of disgust, "those are line peach es. 1 will show you jnst how tine they are. " Taking a hammer ho he gau opening the crates. Upon ex tn i nation it was found that there were but six lurge peaches, three on each slue of the basket, the center row an I tbe entire bottom layer were vory small peaches, put in in such a way that each basket when pioperJy re packed lacked from one-fourth to one sixth being full. Chioago Pucker. May llnild lo the C'aast. Throughout the oouutry from Hwhpo to Halama It is becoming a settled belief that the north bunk line uf It Hill railroads will bo limit through til the seashore, with a deep water bar bor at r'rai kf'ort, opnosiio Astoria, Although no official statement can he obtained from Noi l hern Pacitlo ol lain, there is ewiy indication that tho Hill roads are completing a sur vey for a trunk line aud are buying rights-of-way. The project is of great importance to owners of lands and timbei along tho lower beachs at ilwaco, where summer resoits are cut olf from the world whenever the steamer Putter is unable to run. Kreab activity of railroad engineers along the north bank below Kahuna is exciting tho liveliest Intercut of the natives.
