QO far as actual engine value is concerned, I would 



^ be justified in charging double the present prices for 

 WITTE Engines. Great factory efficiency and selling direct 

 from factory to user makes these prices possible/ 



I would rather manufacture 10.000 enfdnes a year at a profit of 

 one dollar each, than only 1000 engines at 510 each, or 100 at $100 profit 

 each. Lvery engine I sell helps sell others. 



It has been proven that quantity productionmakcg production cost 

 low I could not builil WITTK engines so goodif 1 built only hundreds 

 while I budd thousands. A man. for example, who turns fly wheels idl 

 day can do a quicker job and better job than if he worked at it only a 

 a half hour each day and then ran a truck or swept the floor and worked on 

 pistons the rest of the time. In the big WITTE factory, a man becomes an 

 expert in making his particular part cf the engine. My actual cost for hig 

 iw ,. . .flu^hty .engine parts IS from Jo to Jj what many others pay. My own privai 

 well to furnish power helps hold cost down.

The Fruit Growers' Agency, Inc. 



The Fcdtial Ollice of Markel.s is in- 

 v("sli,!J:itin,i,' the problem of centnil pack- 

 ing houses and the standardization ol' 

 fruit grading. W. M. Scott, .specialist in 

 fruit grading and standardization, to- 

 gether with C. T. More, specialist of the 

 inveslipation of grades and standards, 

 both of the Ollice of Markets, have jusl 

 co!iii)leted an extensive trip throughout 

 the Northwest with a view to familiar- 

 izing themselves with Northwestern 

 conditions. Mr. More has returned to 

 the Fast, where he was called by the 

 Department, while Mr. Scott will re- 

 train in the Northwest throughout the 

 coming apple season completing his 

 investigations. The problem of central 

 tricking houses is an important one for 

 the aiiple industry. If some ellicient 

 and satisfactory plan can be evolved 

 whereby all the fruit in a particular 

 section can be sorted and packed at one 

 bouse, the i)robleni of packing will not 

 only be siiiiplilied, but greater elliciency 

 and standardization will be possible. 

 The central packing house is already 

 being tried by some of the districts of 

 the .Northwest. This problem is only 

 one of many which is being studied as 

 the result of the activities of The Fruit 

 Cirowers' Agencv. 



Clean Up Your Garden. 



If the weeds have nourished in your 

 gai'den, or in parts of it, mow them 

 down, now. If they have not gone to 

 seed they can be plowed under later to 

 bel]) out the stable manure you apply, 

 but if they have they should be removed 

 from the garden and thrown on the 

 compost heap; composting kills weed 

 seed. 



Weeds are expensive things to have 

 in gardens, or anywhere else; they rob 

 garden crops of food and moisture; 

 maiiN of them are natural food for all 

 kinds of insects, which when they have 

 devoured the choice parts of weeds at- 

 tack adjacent garden crops. Weeds may 

 also support plant diseases that would
