At VANCOUVER recently Chat Knight sac- 

 "^ rificed a 40-ye.ir-old cherry tree of the Bed- 

 rock Democrat variety which stood in the park- 

 ing before his home. He cut down and destroyed 

 the tree principally because it dropped its fruit 

 too profusely on the sidewalks. This cherry has 

 the unfortunate quality of deeply staining any- 

 thing with v(hich it comes in contact, and hence 

 is not readily marketable. 



AAA 



'T'HE Yakima Fruit Growers' Association at 

 Sunnyside, Wash., report having packed out 

 2207 boxes of Rome Beauties in one day. They 

 used one of the Cutler special warehouse model 

 graders. This is something over three carloads 

 of fruit made ready for market in a day. Rather 

 different from the hand sorting and sizing of the 

 old davs.
