 How the Wenatchee district is meeting 

 the evaporator problem in a community 

 way. What can we raise that can be 

 profitably sold in cans, and what can 

 the grower make raising this stuff? A 

 discussion led by W. H. Paulhamus.

Apple Distribution 



Can eighteen thousand and five hun- 

 dred cars of box apples be distributed 

 successfully under the private sale sys- 

 tem now used? 



Can the several apple operators that 

 have controlled marketing in the large 

 cities distribute their share to the profit 

 of all the growers? 



Twelve thousand seven hundred cars 

 grown in 1912 brought ruin to the or- 

 chard owners. Thirteen thousand five 

 hundred cars of apples produced in 1914 

 brought red ink to some growers and no 

 profit to the rest. 



1916 alternates with 1912 and 1914, 

 large crop years. 



The problem of profitable distribution 

 of seven thousand more cars than last 

 year and of five thousand more cars than 

 the banner crop year of 1914, is too large 

 for the present marketing system — but 

 the auctions of the largest cities, with 

 aid of eastern prosperity, can expand the 

 market so as to bring moderate profit to 

 all the growers. Adv.

 EXPOSITION 



WHEN you buy a tractor, look beyond the 

 price. It is not the price a man pays for a 

 tractor which is of the most importance, but 

 what its power costs. A Mogul 8-16 burning 

 kerosene, in 5,000 hours of work, \vill save more than 

 its original price over the cost of the same po\ver 

 produced by a gasohne tractor. Remember, the 8-16 

 is a real kerosene tractor, planned and built originally 

 for using this cheap, plentiful fuel. Price is of minor 

 importance compared %vith Mogul 8-16 saving. 



It is our policy to sell the Mogul 8-16 at the lowest possible 

 price, always maintaining Mogul quality, though nowadays 

 some of the materials are almost unobtainable even at an 

 advance in price of from 50 to 100 per cent over the prices of a 

 few months ago. $725 cash f . o. b. Chicago is the lowest price 

 at which Mogul 8-16 can be sold. 



Orders placed at once will stand the best chance of being 

 filled without delav. See the Mogul 8-16 dealer or write us 

 for the story of kerosene before you buy any tractor.
