finci necessary to give the average width 

 frir supccssful cultivation. The seed 

 should he planted medium shallow, with 

 just enough dirt to cover to give a moist 

 seed hf(l and insure quick germination. 

 One of the requirements of a good bean 

 crop is quick, sturdy germination, pro- 

 ducing a good stand. 



The writer believes that beans can be 

 successfully cultivated and irrigated in 

 rows twenty-eight inches apart. It is to 

 he hfjped that in small orchards where 

 trees have not yet come into bearing, 

 ground can be occupied tietween rows 

 with this crop, witliout injury to the 

 trees and with profit to the grower. —

Apples Should Not Be Wasted 



[Robert Livingstone, Portland. Oregon, 

 in Wenatchee Advance.] 



I am writing to draw your attention 

 to the large quantity of good fruit which 

 is yearly allowed to waste for want 

 of a market. Last year my crop was 

 light, being only 8,000 boxes from a 

 thirty-acre orchard. Much of it was 

 hail pecked and below grade, and my 

 year's work resulted in a considerable 

 loss. I dumped a carload of apples into 

 the river because they could not pass 

 inspection. 



This year my crop is larger, and I 

 have already two carloads of apples 

 which cannot pass inspection because 

 of, worm stings, limb bruises and sun 

 scald. 



I am thoroughly in accord with the 

 men who wish to maintain the highest 

 standard for Wenatchee apples. But 

 my apples which cannot be placed in 

 any one of the three grades are good 

 apples and could l)e used for cooking 

 purposes or for eating. IJnder the pres- 

 ent strict regulations I must allow these 

 apiiles to waste and rot or destroy them 

 in some way. 



Now there is something wrong here. 

 Could the rules not be modified so as to 

 allow me to dispose of that fruit in 

 some way? Could it not be marked and 

 sold as low grade fi-uit'.' Much of it is 

 so slightly damaged that it would find a 

 ready sale in the poorer districts of the 

 large cities at a' small price. 



I woulfl gladly donate to charitable 

 institutions my apples that will not pass 

 the insi)er'tors for the ordinary market, 

 and would be willing to pay the freight 

 on it to Portland or .Seallle. I am inter- 

 ested in a charitable society in I'orlland 

 called "The Men's Resort," an<l we take 

 care of thousands of laboring men dur- 

 ing the wet winter months who cannot 

 find enii)loyinent. It woidd be a splen- 

 did thing if I could donate to that soci- 

 ety a few hundred boxes of the apples 

 which I have to throw away. Hut under 

 the present regidalions I cannot do this. 



In Great Britain large quantities of 

 good butler are imported every year 

 from Denmark. But much inferior but- 

 ter is manufactured in ICngland, and it 

 is sold cheap and is called "Oleo Mar- 

 garine," and the boxes are stamped 

 accordingly. An infringement of the 

 law in this regard is i)imishable by a 

 severe fine. Now why coidd not the 

 fruit grower be allowed to stamp and 

 .sell his cull apples as "Inferior Grade,"
