Tho ap ples aro novor touched by hands after they aro picked from tho treos. They aro washod, sized and gradod as to quality and variety, put onto trays and takon Into warehouses by machinery. Thoro 'thoy aro kept In cool storage not cold storage vontllatlon controlled by drafts for which tho cool nights of Oregon are romarkably woll adapted and -when packed they are picked up and pa pered and put into boxes for ship ment, to tho four quarters of the world. Putting Upa Fancy Crop. He says It takes the highest kind of skilled labor and somo brains to put up a flrt-class apple crop. Laud worth $40 an acre can be mado worth $200 an acre in eight years by applying the recelpo. It cost ton dollars an acre to plant tho tree? and cultivate the flrst year. You will get the first merchantable crop in about seven years more. To grow it tequlres cultivation, spraying, thinning of tho fruit, picking, clean ing, and packing. A high-grade product ' means a years' program, and not time to go to sleep or take trips to Europe. During the busiest reason Lownsdale lives in the or chard, eats his meals out of bfs hand under the tres and sleeps un der the trees, kinds at the nuts, porslmmons, figs, .and.pIcnn-( nlnnloB growing on swoot '.poto,t') vinos underground. But those thlnijn did not count. It waa apples that Yamhill came, to tho fair with. Thoro wore 20 boxos of Black Re publican nnd Lnmbort chorrlcs, held In cold storngo for tho fair, Just as flno as tho dny they wore picked, Man Who Makes Fairs, Jacob Calvin Copper, or 'Cal" Cooper as ho la bettor known, ono of tho seven Cooper brothers, Indian writer nnd fighter, holped put wp tho Yamhill exhibit, and comes In for n big allco of credit and wo aro ready to spread' butter and Jam on (t an Inch thick. - Ho burst the shell of Old Ynmhill's glory In 1893, whori he brought tho first exhibit to the Stato Fair. The state then offorod the magnlflcont prhe of $20, and as only two counties exhibited tho hon ors were divided between Yamhill and Jackson. Cooper showed up at tno 1.6 w u and uiark fair with a Yamhill oxhlblt, and has ahowcM several times slncd then. Ho has managed soven county fairs an- come out ahead on all of them finan cially, although never charging a cent of admission fees. The Yamhill county fair this year will be a hum-, mer and not a cent will bo taken In at the gates. He ran the Tillamook county fair and cleared them $400 and yet everything was free as the good old-fashioned Methodist sal vation where even the preacher got nothing for marrying peoplo.
