Apple Harvest
IS NEAR!
Are you prepared to take proper care
of your crop?
Let us help you with the
IDEAL GRADER
Our grader has stood the test of six years of actual
usage by growers. Constant improvements have been
made each year. They have grown more popular each
year, and not only in our own Northwestern districts but
apple growing communities of foreign countries have
ordered them.
It will pay you to investigate the 1921 IDEAL
GRADER. It has numerous attractive new features. It
can be adjusted while actual sizing is in operation. Two
little screws do the work. Our new sorting table is worth
your observation.
The harvest is near, and growers should place their
orders at once.
We can also supply you with Bryant Clamp Trucks
and Standard Roller Conveyors.

COURT FIXES LIMIT
OF TRUCK LOADS
The county court Thursday adopted a
schedule for apple harvest loads of mo
tor trucks. Loads of trucks will be
limited as follows : Ford trucks, 75
boxes of apples; 2 ton trucks, six inch
tires, 125 boxes ; 2-ton trucks, eight
inch tires. 150 boxes ; 2J-ton, 150 box
es ; 3-ton, 180 boxes, which is placed as
the maximum for trucks of any capac
itv. The speed has been limited to 12
miles, whether the trucks carry loads
or not.
When the rainy season begins tne
loads will be further limited, and dur
ing periods when the roads are consid
ered too soft trucks will be prohibited
the use of highways- Valley highways
in numerous instances last year, it is
said, were ruined by indiscriminate use
of them when they were soft from
rains. While the court expresses a de
sire to cooperate in transporting the
big apple crop, the members declare
that they do not believe growers will
approve of careless motor truck haul
ing over wet roads, when the highways
may Le preserved by waiting a few
days for them to dry out. Orchardists
and motor truck operators have been
warned that the county roadmaster
and ofliicers have been instructed to
enforce the trullic rules rigidly.
BOOTH HILL WORK
BEGINS THIS WEEK
Joplin & Eldon, awarded the con
tract for grading rive miles of the val
ley trunk of the Loop Highway over
Hooth Hill, will begin work of grub
bing this week, it is stated. The bid
(if the contractors was $54,54l.60,
while the estimated cost of the work
was placed at $78,000. Incidental ex
pense of constructing irrigation cross
ings, however, will probably bring the
cost of the rive mile unit to $G0,000.
Countv officials expressed the hope
that the State Highway Commission
will immediately let contracts on other
units of the 20.0 mile trunk road while
construction costs are low and bonds
are selling well.
GOULD SEES NO
APPLES IN EAST
Virginia is without apples this year,
according to E. E. Gould, who has re
turned from a visit with his son, Hal
Gould, a resident of that state. Mr.
Gould visited points in Ontario, Can
ada, and various middle western sec
tions. "Naturally I was interested in ap
ples," he says, "and observed closely
mII the orchards that 1 saw. From the
time I left home until 1 returned to
Hood Kiver I saw no apple trees that
bore any fruit this season. 1 see no
reason why Northwestern box apples
should not be in keen demand this fall.
Birch Vists Here
Slum Hirrh. chief of the sales depart
ment of T. J. I'oppart. leading fruit
sales concern of Great Britain, arrived
here last week for a week's visit with
I., -.1 umile uhinriers ai.d irroWertS. Mr.
Birch says that he is not making any
purchases but that he looks for a heavy
export of Oregon Iewtowns, tne la
vorite of all apples with his country
men. Mr. Birch savs he never saw
t . , r tirmmprtM fur a irood crop of a
pies than prevail in the Hood Kiver
vallev. The onlv thing that prevents
the export del being one of the most
profitable in the history of the grow
ers, according to Mr. Birch, is the dis
hanire ratos. The British
fruit man will visit Underwood and
White Salmon apple districts.

The Kej That I Hlocks the Boor to
Leaf Living
The men of eight-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, well
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he will,
i however, a man past middle age will
! occasionally eat too much or of some
: article of food not Buited to his IJOnfti
i tution, causing indigestion or constipa
' tion and will need a doge of Chamher
j Iain's Tablets to move his bowels and
invigorate his stomach. When this is
' done, there is no reason why the aver
J age man should not live to a ripe old
age.

Without confidence in the order of
