An anxious inquirer from Medford
recently wrote the Oregonian asking if
it was true that the SpltaenDerg was
rated abjre the Newtown. This man
preferred the Newtown and wanted to
k ,ow if the Aa.ercia.i Pomoloigcal
Society had absolute pwer in placiiij;
the vuiiKS on various appples. !:.
M. Williamson, secretary of the O'f-
gon st ite Board ol Agriculture to
wnic-h ti e communication was referred
answered as follows:
"it is true that the American Pomc
logical Society uses the Spitzenberg
apple as the standard of excellence,
so far as quality is concerned, aid
rates it 10. The rating for quality
given the Yellow Newtown is 9-10.
This rating was given before Oregon
Yellow Newtowns were known outside
of the state. This rating applies solely
to the quality of the flesh.
"It is a strong assertion to state
that any one variety of apples ranks
all others if we take into considera
tion, in addition to quality of flesh,
color, form and keeping quality of
the fruit, and health, vigor and bear
ing habits of trees, and the diverse
tastes of different consumers and
groups ol consumers
"mere is a marked difference of
opinion among good judges as to the
comparative merits of the Spitzenberg
and Yellow Newtown in the matter of
quality of flesh. Downing, one of
the best authorities on fruits who has
ever lived in this country, placed them
on a par, to wit: "The Esopus Spitzen
berg is a handsome, truly delicious
apple, and is generally considered by
all good iudges equal to the Newtown
Pippin, and unsurpassed as a dessert
fruit by any other variety."
"The most valuable recent publica
tion on apples is "The Apples of New
Yor." In this work the quality of
the flesh of the Newtown is rated
"best"; that of the Spitzenberg
"verv good to best".
"In the United States the Spitzenbergs
of the fanciest grade sell for higher
prices than Newtowns of the corres
ponding grade. In England the New
town is preferred to all other apples
sent from this country, and the Spitz
enberg is not especially popular, selling
there at about the same prices as
Baldwin, Northern Spy and King ap
ples of equal condition.
The Yakima Valley will be furnished
a daily fast fruit special of not to ex
ceed 15 cars throughout the fruit
season this year, according to. the an
nouncement made by the Northern
Pacific Railway. The train will leave
the valley daily and be run through to
St. Paul on express time.
WHY SALVES
FAIL
TO
CURE ECZEMA
Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence a penetrating liquid
is required, not an outward salve that
clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema patients
the standard prescription Oil of Winter
green as compounded in liquid form
known as D. D. D. Prescription, at
only 25 cents, will instantly relieve
the itch. We have sold and recom
mended this remedy for years, and
know of wonderful cures from its use.
We recommend it to our patrons.

Local Men Talk at Lyle.
The Lvle Commercial Club held its
regular monthly meeting April 12.
Those present enjoyed and profited by
the addresses given by V. C. Brock,
the well-lknown banker and apple
grower of Hood River and C. R.
Greisen, of "Better Fruit."
Mr. Brock spoke on "Possibilities of
the Fruit Growing Business particu
larly Apple Culture," showing in a very
clear manner how the fruit land can
be made produce a revenue of 10 per
cent on a valuation of $3000.
Mr. Greisen gave an interesting and
graphic account of the method of
packing and disposing of the Hood
River apple crop, incidently throw
ing out suggestions for the develop
ment of new sections.

Students Banquet at Eugene.
Probably one of the most unique
banquets ever held in the State is to
be held soon by students of the Univer
sity of Oregon. It is a "Know Oregon"
banquet, at which none but Oregon pro
ducts will be on the menu. Every
commerical organization will be asked
to furnish its reason why its locality is
the best in the State and these rea
sons will be set forh in characterisic
booster speeches by prominent stu
dents from various counties. Like
wise, on the belief that the "proof of
(ha i .1 i rwr- la in thu tiatini," aank
t-in juuuuig in I...- ii i i, , vai.ii
commercial oragnization must back
its reasons with the goods. Ihus
Hood River will vie with Medford for
apples, Marion County with Lane for
cherries, Astoria will show its salmon,
Yamhill go against the world for wal
nuts and potatoes, and so on through
the list. It is expected that the ban
quet will be a time of great merriment
and at the same time serve to show
the students the great resources of all
parts of Oregon.
