January, February and March, the 

 fruitgrower does not do much of any- 

 thing except a little pruning. The 

 other six months, outside of the har- 

 vesting season, the average fruitgrow- 

 er is not a very hard worker, and a 

 big lot of them spend from one-quarter 

 to half their time fooling around town 

 instead of being actually engaged in 

 producing something on the ranch 

 which would bring them in extra 

 money. With few exceptions, there is 

 not a single man engaged in the fruit- 

 growing business in the Northwest 

 who cannot do something to bring in 

 some extra money."

It is not so many years ago that the 

 newly fledged fruitgrower in the Pa- 

 cific Northwest would look with quiet 

 scorn upon the man who shoulil advo- 

 cate any farming industry upon the 

 fruit farm other than his specialized 

 industry; just at this very moment it 

 would be hazardous for any wise-acre 

 to advocate any farming industry on 

 the grain farm than that of growing 

 wheat. With the soaring prices the 

 wheat grower does not feel the pres- 

 sure of the hand of necessity. That 

 he, too, will come to see the light of 

 basic business principles may be con- 

 fidently expected. 



Cost of marketing is anotlicr point 

 taken up by Mr. Shepard. Home stor- 

 age, consumption to follow the sup- 

 pression of exhorbitant retail prices, 

 and the economy of motor power on 

 the farm, are other features whicli will 

 enable the fruitgrower "to make more 

 money on apples." — Spokesman Re- 

 view.
