A Kaletu paper says it is uo surprise
Unit a well laid plan has lieeu formed
to move tbe state capital to Portland

decade that will ccme nearer arousing
a newness of life in thu capital city

If Salum gets busy aud makes some

better accomodation' aud provides a
freer welcome to tbe lawmakers and
its auxiliary ooutingeut, there will be
no danger of removal of the capital,
otherwise there is uo telling whut tbe

-in the greatest apple market in the world Chicago at $2.00 to $3 00 more per
box than Jonathan; $2.70 to $3.50 more than Ben Davis; $1.50 to $2.25 more than
btayman Winesap; $2.25 to $3.00 more than Mcintosh Red, etc.
and here is the proof, Read it
-Being a letter on the condition of the market, from Mr. C. W. Wilmeroth oHhe H. Woods Co., 131
bouth Water btrcet, Chicago, one of the largest and most extensive apple commission houses in the world,
in addition to current market prices, the letter contains valuable suggestions to every apple grower in the
country who seeks to increase the net profits of his orchard.
Stark Bro'i Nurseries & Orchard
Louisiana. Missouri.
'Gentlemen: Regarding the condition of the apple market, we beg to lay that
it continues strong in prices and demand especially is this noticable in large ap
ples, mostly of the 3 1-2 tier boxes.
Delicious. (Stark Delicious). Slill selling from $1.(0 lo $5.00perbox, (standard
pack, 1 bushel to the box), and although they have been in cold storage over
three months, they are coming out of Ihe cooler hs bright and its firm as the day
they were stored. We have every reason to believe they will keep as long as
Ben Davis, Rome Beauty or Winesnp and that is long enough.
Jonathan. The supply it ample, and sells around $2.00 per box. There are
too many small Jonathan on the market. Fruit should be thinned on the tree so
as to produce 3 1-2 and 4 tier sizes instt nd of so many 4 1-2 and 5 tier.
Ben Davis Supply liberal. 4 1-2 tier selling at $1.25 to $1.35 per box. 4
tier ut $1.50.
Blach Ben Davis. (Stark Black Ben Davis) Not enough to supply the de
niand. We have refused an offer today of $2.25 per box for several hundred boxes
to go to New York. They are the most attractive apple in our display, as they
are attracting attention of all buyers on account of color, size and style. It doe
not take a good salesman to Fell apples which speak for themselves.
Mr. Tibbitts, President of the W'enatchce, Wash. Apple Growers Asit'n., told
me he has a block of Black Bens now eight years old Began to bear al three
years of age, and each year have born heavier than Ben Davis. He harvested
last fall an average of 10 boxes to the tree, end the fruit runs 955 3 1-2 tier which
it just the size Ihe trade wants and we arc today scllihg these Black Bens at 101

-Note that s.n.hcant sentence- It slKH.ld be borne m mind that the cost of the box, freight, storage and cartage is the
same on a box of poor apples as on a box of fine ones." The day when profifcould be made on Ben Davis, Mo Pippin

is Selling
Stayman Winesap. Sorry we haven't 5,000 boxes more of them. They are
selling readily at $2.50 to $2.75. They eat well, cook well, keep well, and the
trees bear large size fruit. While the old-fashioned Winesap bear to prolifically.
they are very liable to run heavily to small sizes.
Rome Beauty. Always a standard market variety. Selling at $2.25, and our
market could use more of them. In sections where they get good color, the
Rome Beanty should be a very profitable apple to plant.
Winter Banana. Now out of market for the season on account of its keeping
quality. Ii is a beauty in style and color, and of fair flavor, but very tender and
shows every bru.se I I were buying 100 carloads of apples, would not include
over one carload of Winter Banana.
Mcintosh Red. Selling slowly at $1.75 to $2.00. The Chicago market does
not buy ihis variety rapidly. They are of good color,, but hardly large enough
m size and very tender. 1 would not class them a, a good keeping apple.

such as Delicious, Bhck Ben, Rome Beauty and Stayman Winesap which have

work lor quality., sue and color-the market will do the rest.
It should be borne in mind that the cost of the box, freight, ttorage nd cartage
