terview while here stated that the big 

 thing confronting the nation for the 

 next few years is food production, and 

 that a large production of apples would 

 be a big factor in helping the world to 

 feed itself. He believes, however, that 

 the heavy income and excess profits 

 taxes are having a tendency to reduce 

 the production of foods of all kinds 

 and that they should be reduced. "We 

 need," said Mr. Crutchfleld, "all the 

 fruit, all the grain and all the meat that 

 it is possible to produce."

Under the direction of P. P. Peterson, 

 head of the Soil Department of the 

 University of Idaho, and H. H. Beler, 

 County agricultural agent, an extensive 

 soil survey of the soil of Kootenai 

 County will soon be started. The work 

 will be commenced June 1, and when 

 completed and mapped will be of great 

 value to the fruit grower and farmer in 

 determining what kind of crops to 

 plant in the various kinds of soil in the 

 county. 



According to Senator Lachmund, 

 head of the green-fruit department of 

 the Pheasant Northwest Products Com- 

 pany, hay or grain crops as an income 

 producer will have nothing on the 

 berry crop this year. In order to con- 

 vince berrymen that he knows what he 

 is talking about. Senator Lachmund 

 comes forward with a statement that 

 berry growers should make from -$500 

 to $600 per acre on their berries for the 

 next four or five years at the prices 

 which his company is now offering. 

 The company is ready to contract for 

 1,000 acres each of strawberries, rasp- 

 berries and loganberries for the next 

 five years, at prices which should make 

 an earning per acre of the amounts al- 

 ready stated. 



The proportion to which the Western 

 New York apple movement assumed 

 during the past season may be gleaned 

 from the fact that up to March 1, 

 21,026 cars of fruit had been shipped 

 from that section.

"Caro" 

 Prolongs the 

 Life of Fruit 



Why? 



Fruit decomposition starts from a bruise which opens tiny holes and permits the juice to escape and BACTERIA to enter. 

 "Caro" clings closely and dries up the escaping juice. "Caro" ingredients harden the spot, kill the BACTERIA, arrests the decom- 

 position—and thus PROLONGS THE LIFE OF FRUIT. If your fruit is worth shipping it is worth keeping in best condition.
