—get a Bean. It is the 42-centimeter gun 

 in the fruit grower's fight against orchard 

 pests — and it is pounding down the ob- 

 stacles that stand in the way of bigger 

 crops, better fruit and more profits. 

 That's why the growers of the Northwest 

 unite in their praise of 



Bean Power Sprayers 



The spraying season is on. There's no time for delay. We 

 carry a complete stock of repair parts at seven centrally located 

 Northwest points and can make immediate delivery. You will 

 make no mistake in choosing a Bean. It will do your work, do 

 it right, and still be doing it long after cheaply built rigs would 

 have been consigned to the scrap heap. There are scores of rea- 

 sons why "The Bean is the Best"— let your dealer tell you or read 

 them in our complete sprayer catalog. Send the coupon today.

Wrapping Paper. — On account of the 



increased cost of all kinds of paper, the 

 expense of wrapping apples will be con- 

 siderably more than in the past. Willi 

 the increased cost of production and 

 with the uncertainty about increased 

 selling prices, it seems wise to suggest 

 that the different districts endeavor to 

 economize in paper wherever possible, 

 and therefore the following suggestion 

 seems in order, which is being adopted 



in some districts, that growers pack 

 their Fancy in plain paper, instead of 

 printed paper, using only printed paper 

 for the Extra Fancy grades. In all 

 probability the Fancy grade will bring 

 as much money in plain paper as it will 

 in printed paper, because the person 

 who buys a box of apples at a moderate 

 price docs not desire to pay for any 

 unnecessary fancy trimmings. 



Standard Box. — The dimensions of a 

 standard box are contained in a short 

 article appearing in this edition. Every 

 grower should insist upon having stan- 

 dard sized boxes, for the reason that the 

 fruit industry is extending more and 

 more towards standardization in all 

 respects.
