(IRK(,()N cziorD Dan Wuille & Co., Ltd., offer their direct distribution to the Grower who has formerly shipped through intermediate organiza tions at a cost of a multiplicity of charges. We believe that the Grower will be glad to eliminate all possi ble charges. We believe that many intermediate shipping organizations do nothing tor the Grower that he cannot do for himself. There are often as many as four commissions or charges made on a shipment of apples to foreign markets. These" are unjustified in that the shipments are often if not always turned over on consignment to some company like Dan Wuille & Co, Ltd, to sell. Thoy are therefore for a service that is non essential and constitute a margin which should go to the Grower as a margin of profit. Direct connec tion with a Selling Company elim inates these extra charges and means simply that the producer gets more money out of his fruit. This Company operates direct ly on all important foreign markets. We actually do sell our consign ments ourselves. Apples sold for the Grower's account at similar prices to those sold for a dealer's account must naturally return more money to the Grower than the dealer can return to his Grower or local con nection. We think that when the grow ers thoroughly understand the meth ods employed in marketing fruit the Dan Wuille Company with their direct connections will be better appreciated. We invite you to talk the matter over with us. We shall be glad to give you all the informa tion in regard to marketing that we have at our disposal. DAN WUILLE & CO., Ltd.

We'll welcome an Oregon winter." With receipt by attorneys of trans cripts of testimony taken here during the week beginning June 12 by the State Water Hoard, another step for ward in an adjudication of water rights in the Hood Kiver watershed will be taken. Attorneys for all con t 'stants w ill w ithin the next lid days hie briefs with the Water Hoard, and t mt body will render its decisions.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IN LOCAL DISFAVOR The daylight saving law hmls few supporters among Hood Kiver orchard ists. fruitgrowers, even those whi support President Wilson and the ad ministration on all other matters, ex press criticism of hia veto of the Agricultural appropriation bill because it carried a rider repealing the day light saving law. "I am against the daylight saving bill and so is every other orchardist with whom 1 have talked," savs K. E Scott. "We were all willing to work by it during war time, but it has grown too much for us. As a result of it the farmers are working themselves to death. The city man gets his slee whatever the law, and with the new law he gets extra hours for recreation in the evening. 1 he farmer, us a re suit of the davlight saving plan gets up an hour earlier, but he never gets to bed until along about 11 or 12 o'clock. It's late to bed and early to rise, and it is getting to be irksome. Growers declares that the daylight saving plan is detrimental during time of apple harvest, when work ot pick ing often has to be postponed until the orchards have dried of dew. PACKERS PLAN FOR , STANDARD CHARGES UPPER VALLEY APPLE GROWERS BUILDING Orchardists of the Upper Valley, ac cording to K. J. Melsaae, here Monday on business, are engaged at present m more extensive construction of packing plants and warehouses than ever m any former year. l!ig packing plants are under construction bv six of the dis trict's owners of large acreage. The aggregate cost of new structures will reach more than $20,000. 1.. t . liald win, a contractor, with a crew of six men, will be kept busy until harvest is at hand. The Mount Hood Milling Co., operating a sawmill in the I'pper Val ley, is unable to supply the demand for lumber. The I'pper Valley shipped approxi mately tir,(Ki0 boxes of apples lust year. Wit numerous young orchards reaching beam g, the tonnage of this season is expected to excetd KMl.lHKI boxes. The young orchards are in healthy condi tion, and the quality of the fruit will be auove the average. WHEAT Hi VEST IS NOW AT HAND VALLEY EXPECTS A BIG UiAIN (Tli)i' New Kinder Purchased and Dealers StII Tine to Handlers - (uaiit of Crop is Fine Harvest of the valley's biggest whef.t crop will begin this week. Hug.i laasch, whose 2' acres of wheat will pM ably yield 4" busU Is to the acre, has puichased a new binder, and tho valley now has live of these machine owned by orchardists. The valley last year harvested almost In, mm bushels of wheat, but the Weld this sea-'oh will probably go to nearly 1.oiki. The need of threshug machines will prevent the harvest of some of the gram. Charles M; lie', of the Frankton. district unable to secure a thresher, cut his tine wheat crop f.,r hay. The Highland Milling Co. is rushing to completion an addition to its plant. The com) any will make a specialty of tlour from local wheat. At the county fair, to be held on September l'.t aid 20, the nulling concern will give a dt ni onstraton of baking with Hood Kiver flour. The millers w ill furnish the fair visitors with hot biscuits and bu'ter will be supplitd by the Hood Kiver Creamer) . Compared with grain sections the alley's wheat acreage is insignificant. It is ohly'of importance when it is con- idered that local orchardists and ranch is, up to Isat year, produced practi ally no wheat. The crop of this year nay set a record that will never be ex- eeiieii. r.ven though the price ot the gram remain at the high figure that has' prevailed for the past two years. the l'.ll'.l acreage is a maximum usinu' til land available. The chief part of the wheat crop will be harvested in the I'lmer Vallev. Timothy Newell has the greatest indi vidual acreage. Mr. Newell will oner- te a thieslnng machine. Mr. l'aasch will probably have the hea iest Yield. I'ho tine wheat field has attracted a widespread attention. Wheat growers have entirely cleantd out the stock of binder twine at the Franz Hardware stole, and 4no pounds have In en sold hy the Hood KlV.r Fruit Co. GET RID OF I. W; COWS, IS PLEA Finding the sale of the herd of pure bred cows brought here recently bv K. V. Wright, agriculturist of the high school, lagging growers backing Mr. Wright in the project have stimulated interest in the high class animals by offering1 to accept as part payment grade and scrub cows already owned by orchardists. It was discovered that numerous growers would purchase a purebred cow, provided they could dis pose of cows already owned. "Especially do we wish to rid th community ot cows that are non-pro ductive, says lr. Ihrane, one ot Mr Wright's backers. "Mr. Wright has correctly termed the non-productive cow as an I. W. W. It was his idea in bringing the herd of purebred Jerseys here, not to profit by the deal, but to piovide orchardists with profitable milch cows to take the place of W. animals." 1. W APPLE SALES AWAIT 1919 CONVENTION Valley operators of apple packing houses have decided to standarize charges made for harvesting and lack ing crops of neighbors. Where labor is furnished by the packing house oper ator and where his supervision is nec essary it was agreed by, the packers, at a meeting at the Commercial Club Saturday afternoon, that actual cost with an added 15 tier cent should be charged. This rate will apply to pick ing, grading and packing apples. If the plans of the packers mature stand ard prices will be made on hauling boxes to warehouses, transportation of fruit loose in boxes from orchard and the packed fruit and for loading cars. A charge is contemplated to cover the depreciation on warehouses and expen sive grading machinery. In most in stances the packer purchases paper and other supplies, and it is planned that a light percentage charge above cost he added. The matter of insuring apples stored in packing plants will be left to Jndi vidual grower-owners. A. N. RAMI TELLS OF EXPERIENCES PINE GROVE STORE A. F. BICKFORD, Prop. "While opinion is somewhat divided in the North European countries," eaye Axel N. Rahm, who with his wife has just arrived after a 10 years' resi dence in Helsingborg, Sweden, "when my wife and 1 left for the United States in early June it appeared that a majority of the apple found little favor with the League of Nations." Mr. Kahm says that the people of S veden and other neutral countries have felt slighted because they were n t invited by the "Hig Four" of the Allied nations to participate in the dis cissions around the peace table, where j tl e League covenants were pro ! p iundedf although they are asked to i subscribe to the terms of the League. I Tne opinion also prevails, according to I Mr. Kahm, that the terms of the cove- nant are not workable. Mr. Kahm, a native of Sweden but a ; naturalized American citizen, having been in business here for many years, declares that the war laid a heavy j hand on North Europe, j "We had more money than we knew jwhat to do with," he says. "Last year about the time the armistice was signed, we were reaching dire straits. Fcod Ftiitfs had heen drained out of our country and we couldn't ship in more. The wage earners wera never Although visiting merchants from eastern points of distribution have been far more numerous than in any former years, preharvest sales of ap ples remain comparatively few. The Association daily receives otl'ers from all parts of the country, but the coop erative agency announces no sales. Indeed, savs Mr. Met ullagh, no sales will lie made until after the an nual convention of the International Apple Shippers' Association, which will be held this year at Milwaukee, Wis., August KMC, inclusive. Mr. McCullagh and other shipper representatives will attend the conven tion. All other Northwestern districts will lie well represented. Paving Will Soon Be L'nder Way ravine o.r the Columbia Highway be tween Hood Kiver and Cascade Locks, according to information gatherei from local onices of the State High way Department and contractors, will begin within a few day's. CrewS will begin at the Cascade Locks end am work this way. "Hot stuff," it said, will be poured the latter part of this week. It is believed that the mile stretch of road'will he closed for about, three months. Two paving plants will be installed along the' route, and three crews of men will be allotted each. Each crew working at amaximum speed, can pave a mile of highway per day. 1 hus, at a maximum, six miles of the highway may be paved in a day. The blockade of the two mile link of the Highway between here and the ton of Kuthton hill at first caused out of toffn motorists, especially those head ed westward, great inconvenience. fence has been constructed across the road at the west edge of the city at the intersection of Cascade avenue and Oak street. These streets run almost parallel for a considerable distance and the fence, just west of the inter section, is observed by the tourist f nearly a block before he reaches the turnout. Cascade avenue, the strfet favored by cross-town foreign traffi is on a lower level than the other street, and a view of the latter is shut olF bv bushes. It was natural for mo- tourists to stop at an intersection block away from the blockade fence, and thus they failed to observe signs giving directions of the detour. The city has eliminated this inconvenience by placing signs at the end of the bridge over Hood river, and the detour route is blazed to the edge of the city. The county had already properly signed detour roads through the Frankton district. William Kingston, of Spokane, con templating location here, has been spending several days in the valley.
