 Best display, five one-half boxes, com- 

 mercial pack, all varieties: First $3 5,

Loganberry growers should put the 

 canes upon the trellises before the winter 

 rainy season if tip dieback is to be pre- 

 vented. Although a very severe winter 

 might injure the canes to some extent, 

 investigations conducted this year by the 



November, 1921 



Oregon Agricultural College Experiment 

 Station show that the yearly loss due to 

 dieback exceeds in importance the possi- 

 bility of another exceptional winter. As 

 soon as tied up they should be sprayed with 

 Bordeaux 4-4-50 to protect against fungi, 

 especially the bases of the canes. 



A NNOUNCEMENT is made by the State Col- 

 lege of Washington, at Pullman, that a 

 strong course in the marketing of farm products 

 will be given as a feature of Its short course 

 in agriculture, January 2 to February 24.

"4 W" Picking Bucket 



P.VTF.NT APPLIED FOR 



A heavy galvanized-iron picking bucket with bottom of 

 strong canvas, reinforced at wearing points with chrome 

 leather. Bucket is shaped to fit close to the body. Sus- 

 pender-style harness distributes load equally on both 

 shoulders and back. Top edge of bucket lower in front 

 by one inch; and is padded with felt, covered with twill 

 webbing sewed to bucket with soft brass wire. Felt pad 

 at back stops bruising in picking operation. Canvas bot- 

 toms are fastened to bucket by patented ring which per- 

 mits instant removal if ever necessary. Hundreds of these 

 buckets will go through two full seasons without changing 

 the original canvas. New bottoms are always available 

 and inexpensive. Fruit is dumped from bucket through 

 canvas bottom — both hands of picker guiding placement 

 and assuring no damage to the finest fruit. 



Every "4 W" Picking Bucket Sold During the 1921 

 Season Paid for Itself many Times Over by Eliminating Loss from Bruised and Stem-punctured Apples

 Gentlemen : 



During the 1921 fruit season we pur- 

 chased and used approximately two 

 hundred fifty of your '*4W" Picking 

 Buckets. The bucket has proven a big 

 success in our orchards, practically e\\m-^~ 

 ina'ting stem punctures from our fruit, v*' 

 It would be very hard to induce this 

 organization to go back to the old sys- 

 tem of picking with canvas bags. 



It is impossible to estimate the sav- 

 ing made by the use of the Wells & 

 Wade Bucket — but I am confident that 

 in our orchards we have been able to 

 market several thousand more boxes of 

 apples because of having used the 

 buckets, than we would have marketed 

 if we had used canvas picking bags. 

 Very truly yours,

"Better Than Bags" 

 Peshastin. Wash., Oct, 21, 1921. 

 WELLS & WADE, 



Wenatchee, Washington. 

 Gentlemen : 



There were 40,000 boxes of apples 

 picked in "4W" Picking Buckets on this 

 tract this season — and I can say that this 

 bucket has given entire satisfaction. 

 Growers who have used the "bags" in 

 years past have found that at least 15 

 per cent of the fruit picked in bags 

 have been "culls," from bruises and 

 stem punctures. This is a HEAVY 

 LOSS to any grower. After using the 

 "4W" Picking Bucket a full season, I 

 can safely say that I have not had 1 

 per cent loss in bruised ©r stem-punc- 

 tured apples — and this applies equally 

 well to all varieties of tree fruit. Fur- 

 thermore, I have not had a single apple- 

 picker want to change one of these 

 buckets for a bag. 



Yours very truly, 

 (Signed) CHARLES LINVILLE, 



Manager Peshastin Orchard,
