 Dynamite 



will help you. By blasting and breaking 

 up the subsoil around the trees, a new Avater 

 reservoir is created, new plant food is made 

 available and the old trees Avill be made to pro- 

 duce as well as before. 



To learn how progressive orchardists and farmers are 

 using dynamite for cultivating fruit trees, regenerating 

 barren soil, ditching, di-aining, stumping, removing 

 rocks and boulders and scores of other things, write 

 for our well written and illustrated booklet F-.'}38.

More About Walnuts

 with very tittle Income on your Inveslment!' 



Our 6 and 7-year-old grafted VROOMAN FRANQIteTTES are bearing eereral times as much net Income this 

 seaaoii as our wheat and oats. What will the difference be when the trees are 12 to 15 years old? We woiiUl 

 estimate 10 lo 15 times as much. 



Why raise grain and sell it on ovensuppUed foreign markets at a low price when we nre Importing 10,000, Oiio 

 to 12.000,000 pounds of walnuts that are not nearly as good and sell for a lower price than those we can rai.^t- 

 here at home? 



Many owners of seedling orchards of bearing age this season have applied to us for capable men lo top-graft 

 their orchards. This must lie done at gn?at expense and loss of time. Don't make this mistake, as others are 

 now pa>iiig for this experience. We helped to pay for it by working over 800 seedlings oureelves. 



Come this month l>efore IIk> nuts drop and compare our orchiini with seedling orchards.

Aijplc {Irowers' Association. He stated 

 he was nnich impressed with the 

 beauty of Hood River scenery and its 

 up-to-date orchards. Another thing 

 whicli he spoke of particularly was the 

 immense cold-storage plant and facili- 

 ties of the Hood River Api)le (irowers' 

 Association. Mr. van Diem left Port- 

 land .luly 23rd, via Seattle, intending to 

 visit a number of other points on his 

 trip, among them Chicago, Rult'alo and 

 Niagara Falls, expecting to reach New 

 York August 3rd and sail on that day 

 for home. The object of Mr. van Diem's 

 visit was to make arrangements for 

 such apples as his lirm would require 

 during the coming season and to form 

 a more intimate ac(iuaintance with the 

 shi])i)crs of the Northwest with whom 

 he has done business for many years, 

 and with whom he expects to do a 

 larger business in the future. 



The peach crop of the Northwest in 

 the year 1015 is reported about normal. 

 Peaches in the Northwest have been 

 packed exclusively in boxes, but in 

 various other sections of the United 

 States many other kinds of packages 

 have been used for years, among which 

 may be mentioned the bushel basket, 

 the half-bushel basket, the six and 

 four-basket crate, the Climax basket, 

 containing one-fifth bushel; also one- 

 sixth of a bushel and a twenty-pound 

 package containing about one-third of 

 a bushel. In Delaware and New Jer- 

 sey the half-bushel basket is used quite 

 extensively. The six-basket crate is 

 more extensively used in the Middle 

 West. Along the Atlantic Coast and in 

 the Southern peach sections, as well as 

 Virginia, the package used contains six 

 baskets holding four quarts each. In 

 California peaches are usually packed
