Utilizing the Fruit Crop of 

 the Northwest

 manner the process of abstraction 

 does not injure the cellular structure 

 of the commodity treated. His first 

 successful demonstration was made in 

 Australia in 1886. This antedates the 

 work done in Continental Europe, that 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has given as the origin of dehydration. 

 Mr. Spawn claims to be the originator 

 of dehydration. This man has ope- 

 rated on three continents and now has 

 a headquarters plants in Seattle. The 

 writer, however, could not find that 

 he has anywhere now a commercial 

 plant in actual operation. 



The Northwest Company has a com- 

 mercial plant in operation at Cash- 

 mere, Wash., that is giving special at- 

 tention to cooking apples. The most 

 important concern now operating in 

 the Northwest, the writer found to be 

 the King's Products Company of Port- 

 land. Two large plants are in opera- 

 tion. One at Salem and the other at 

 The Dalles, Ore. This company is 

 well financed and has under contem- 

 plation the establishment of a third 

 branch plant. Its products cover a 

 multitude of fruits and vegetables. 



By-Products Plants of the Northwest. 



Outside of those plants already 

 named, two plants in Washington 

 stand out as of primary importance. 

 The first is the Puyallup and Sumner 

 Fruit Growers' Association. This ope- 

 rates at three points. Puyallup and 

 Sumner, Wash., and Albany, Ore. The 

 total gross business done by this asso- 

 ciation in 1919 was 4% million dol- 

 lars. This plant has made berry grow- 

 ing in the valley, where the headquar- 

 ters are established, so valuable that 

 the cash returns per acre for berry 

 crops surpasses that received any- 

 where else known to the writer. Paul's 

 jams or fruit butters are sold in every 

 state in the Union, save two. In six 

 months of 1919, 118,000 cases of jam 

 were sold. This plant is a monument 

 of success to the manager — W. H. 

 Paulhamus. 



The second plant of primary im- 

 portance to the fruit industry is the 

 preserving and canning plant of 

 Libby, McNeil and Libby, of North

Take out more stumps NOW 

 Clear more acres this Fall 



FAR more land was cleared last spring in this section 

 than in any previous year. The crops were bigger. 

 Farmers made more money. 



Keep up the work of changing waste land into money-making 

 land. Now, after harvest time before snowfall is a chance 

 to make more acres ready for planting. Most farmers use 



and REPAUNO STUMPING POWDERS 



because they are easy to handle, and save time, labor and 

 money. Write for free book, "Development of Logged-off 

 Lands." It will tell you the newest and best ways to 

 clear land.
