Agricultural Bulletin Put in Evi denceDavidson Points Out Increased Minimum Load All Ucal apple shipping concerns are cooperating in work of gathering evi dence to be presented in a protest against the proposed 25 per cent in- crase on fruit freight rates. All ship pers and growers are united in declar ing mat me increased rate, n auoweu, will be a serious blow to the industry. Shipping concerns have produced a goverment document, a bulletin of the United States Department of Agricul ture which, it is declared, will stand as a strong support for their conten tions. This bulletin, issued last year, gives the cost per box, of producing apples in the Hood Kiver valley at $l.(i Statistics gathered show that the growers received an average re turn of but $1.01 on the crop on which the government cost figures were based. The final fight for a modification of the f reight"increase as 'regards apples will be made by all Northwestern growers, through the Fruit Growers' Agency, of Spokane, an institution or ganized under government auspices. H. r. Davidson has produced figures to show that the railways, exclusive of the freight war tax of three per cent, will derive a Zb jier cent increase in freight earnings on every car of ap ples, because of the increased mini mum box limit. "Formerly," says Mr. Davidson. "the minimum weight for a refrigera tor car was 30,XK). With the mini mum limit now placed at T.rt5 boxes, or HT,.r)()0 pounds, instead of the former $1100 per car, the railroads will be get ting $375. Add to this the three per cent war tax, and it will be shown that the grower will have to pay S(.25 per car more for having his apples shipped than in former years. W hen the increase of freight is added to this, the apple grower will have difti culty in surviving. "Taking the weight of a car at 45, 000, and the car must be hauled any how, both loaded and unloaded on the return, it will be seen that the in creased tonnage is but 10 iter cent. while the increase in freight is 25 per cent. WILL COOPERATE instructed the reclas correct. ( "Local boards, government appeal i agents and men. bers of legal advisory) hoards," (.'apt. CuIUson's instructions advise, "are requetsed to d.rert special I attention to the following classes efj cases : Class 2, A. ad R. ; B. and C. ; Class 4, A." For the benefit id' all these defini tions are given : Class 11-A, married man with children or father of mother less children where wife and children are not mainly dependent on him fur supjKjrt; ll-ti, married man without, children whose wife is capable of sup-j porting herself ; lll-A, man with de pendent children (not his own) but toward whom he stands in relation of parent; Ill-i;. man with dependent, aged or infirm parents; 111-C, man with dem-ndent helpless brothers or sisters; 1-A, man whose witeor chil dren are mainly dependent on his la bor fur supiort. ew standards of physical examina tion are being issued by the provost marshal general. These will, it is be lieved, not merely add to the number of men eligible for military service but will largely increase the roster of those held for limited or special service. MR. AND MRS.

I IMPENDENCE fl'RKENCY PLANNED message from representatives now resident The County Council of Defense will cooperate with the Red Cross Chapter, in making the rourth celebration an impressive one for all the foreign born population of the community.

The following is a President Wilson (to from 21 nationalities Americans: "I have read with great sympathy the petition addressed to me by your representative bodies regarding your proposed celebration of Independence Day; and 1 wish to convey to you, in reply, my heartfelt appreciation for its expressions ot loyalty and good will. Nothing in this war has been more gratifying than the manner in which our foreign born lellow citizens, and the sons and daughters of the foreign born, have risen to this greatest of all national emergencies. You have shown where you stand, not only by your f re- qucnt professions of loyalty to the cause for which we tight, but by your eager response to calls for patriotic service, including the supreme sacrifice of offering life itself in battle for jus tice, freedom and democracy. Before such devotion as you have shown, all di itmctions of race vanish, and we feel ourselves citizens in a repulic of free spirits. "1 therefore take pleasure in calling your petition, witn my nearly com mendation, to the attention ot all my fellow countrymen, and 1 ask that they unite with you in making the Indepen dence ..day of this, the year when all the principals to which we stand pledged are on trial, the most signifi cant in our national nisiory. "As July 4, 177G, was the dawn of a democracy for this nation, let us on July 4, 1918, celebrate the birth of a new and greater spirit or democracy, by whose influence, we hope and be lieve, what the signers of the Declara tion of Independence dreamed of for themselves and their fellow country men shall he fulfilled for all mankind. "I have asked the Committee on Public Information to cooperate with you in any arrangements you may wish to make for this celebration." CLASS 1 WEEK CALLED THIS MONTH A "Class I Week" is to be held sometime this month by every local draft board in Oregon, under instruc tions received from the war depart ment and communicated to local boards by Capt. John E. Cullison, officer in charge of the draft, in the office of the adjutant general. The purpose of Class I Week is to correct any errors in classification that may have been made previously. In correcting these errors, many regis trants previously placed in lower class ifications will be transferred to Class I. At the same time, the reclassifica tion will work both ways. Where the evidence justifies, local boards will re open the cases of men wrongfully placed in Class I and place them in lower classifications, as the circum stances warrant. Government appeal agents and mem bers of legal advisory boards hajie been directed immediately to make a careful examination of all question naires and records in all cases m which they are satisfied that reclassification should be made. Thousands of regis trants are now in Class V, the war de partment believes, who should be in Uasi II ofrV'lass I. Appeal agents are TIIK REI CROSS is Koing to PUT.
