BETTER FRUIT

trained on the wires and tlie ground 

 plowed toward them, leaving a dead 

 furrow between the rows for drainage 

 during the winter months. In the 

 spring the land is plowed away from 

 the vines, being careful not to get the 

 last furrow too deep, as that would 

 injure the roots. Level cultivation is 

 practiced during the summer to keep 

 up as much moisture as possible. Keep 

 the green shoots trained or tied in so 

 they will not be injured while culti- 

 vating. As soon as the crop is harvested 

 the old canes should be taken out and 

 in September or October the new vines 

 trained onto the wires for the next 

 year's crop.

Proposed Increase, Etc. 



Continued from page 3. 



the tariff, and naturally protection is 

 only afforded as far as Chicago. 



For the past two years the railroads 

 have been unable to furnish sufficient 

 refrigerator cars to handle the apple 

 tonnage, forcing the shippers to use box 

 cars. The carriers refuse to insulate or 

 otherwise protect box cars and also 

 decline to assume any risks in transit, 

 accepting billing only under Option 1 

 or shipper's risk. During the period 

 August 15 to December 15, 1917, the 

 Northwestern shippers used 2,290 box 

 cars, insulated them at their own ex- 

 pense, in many cases sending messen- 

 gers along with the shipments, again at 

 their own expense, and paid the regular 

 tariff rates, which contemplated refrig- 

 erator cars when the rates were estab- 

 lished. 



The industry is in a position where 

 it cannot possibly stand another cent of 

 increase. The growers are patriotic, 

 and willing to do everything in their 

 power to win the war, but they believe 

 and know that the money which must 

 be raised by freight increases must be 

 raised from some commodity which can 

 stand an increase — and apples do not 

 come under that head. 



The proposed rates are not only con- 

 fiscatory, but also discriminatory and 

 unjust, as is conclusively sustained by a 

 comparison with rates to be prescrilied 

 on other products of this district, as 

 shown in Table III, especially when 

 increased values resulting from the war 

 are considered. 



This proposed increase in freight 

 rates will apply to everything the grow- 

 ers use, such as nails, sprays, paper, 

 etc., as in practically every fruit district 

 on the Coast this is controlled in such 

 a manner that the grower pays the 

 freight. 



The lumber interests have been well 

 organized and their rate will be in- 

 creased but 5 cents per hundred, which 

 is probably due to their splendid organ- 

 ization. If it is through lack of organ- 

 ization that the fruit growing industry 

 of the Pacific Coast will practically be 

 crippled, it is time for the fruit growers 

 to wake up and to organize, so as to be 

 able to meet such an emergency.

The Choice of 

 Those Who Know 



Manufacturers and leading mo- 

 tor car distributors recommend 

 ZEROLENE. The majority of 

 motorists use ZEROLENE. 

 ZEROLENE reduces wear and 

 gives more power because it 

 keeps its lubricating body at 

 cylinder heat. Gives less car- 

 bon because, being refined from 

 selected California asphalt-base 

 crude, it burns clean and goes 

 out with exhaust. 

 ZEROLENE is the correct oil 

 for all types of automobile en- 

 gines. It is the correct oil for 

 your automobile. Get our lubri- 

 cation chart showing the cor- 

 rect consistency for your car.

This, the "V'-Type of auto- 

 mobile engine, like all internal 

 combustion engines, requires 

 an oil that holds its lubricating 

 qualities at cylinder heat, burns 

 clean in the combustion cham- 

 bers and goes out with exhaust. 

 Zerolene fills these require- 

 ments perfectly, because it is 

 correctlj! refined from selected 

 California aaphalt-beae crude.
