WEEDER,MULCHER 

 CULTIVATOR 



"BEST WEED KILLER EVER USED" 



The Barker Weeder, Mulcher and Cultivator successfully, in ONE 

 OPERATION, kills weeds and forms a perfect soil mulcli 



It cuts weeds below the surface, chops them up and spreads them out 

 on top— where they can't grow— to be dried out and turned into plant 

 food. Breaks crust, pulverizes clods, aerates the soil. The KEEL 

 KNIVES and STATIONARY BLADE, working in combination, make a 

 loose dust mulch which holds the moisture, forcing plant growth 

 and insuring size and quality. Does more work and better than ten men 

 with hoes. Has shovels for deeper cultivation. 



Costs little. Write today for illustrated folder and

The Growers' League 



[From the Wenatchee (Washington) World] 



FOR the information of tliose grow- 

 ers who were not in attendance at 

 all the sessions of the preliminary 

 convention for the formation of 

 Wenatchee-North Central Washington 

 (irowers' League, the Comimttcc on 

 Organization presents in condensed 

 form the resohitions adopted by the 

 convention, stating its conclusions 

 and the aims and purposes for which 

 the League is being created and the 

 essential methods which must be em- 

 ployed to bring those aims and pur- 

 poses to fulfilment. Particular atten- 

 tion is called to the fact that these 

 resolutions were presented and ap- 

 proved on the last day of the conven- 

 tion and that it was their intent to ex- 

 press the opinions brought to the con- 

 vention by the precinct committeemen 

 as given to tliem by the growers at 

 the meetings held during the two 

 weeks preceding the last session of 

 the convention. It seems, therefore, 

 that the majority of all growers in 

 this district are unanimously agreed 

 upon the principles hereinafter set 

 forth. 



(1). That we are working toward 

 the establishment of fruit sales on 

 a cash basis and at a fair price and 

 the economical handling and market- 

 ing of our products to the end that 

 maximum net returns may be made to 

 the grower. (2), That we will prac- 

 tice co-operation among ourselves, 

 true economy in the management of 

 our affairs and absolute fairness to- 

 ward those with whom we have busi- 

 ness dealings. (3). That the follow- 

 ing should be the duties of the League. 

 (1). Establish grading and packing 

 rules for fruit which shall be the uni- 

 form standard for all the units of the 

 League. (2). Organize a board of in- 

 spection who shall inspect all fruit 

 packed under the direction of the 

 League and instruct growers, graders 

 and packers in the standards of the 

 grades and pack. (3). Establish a bu- 

 reau of statistics and information 

 whose aim shall be to gather facts in 

 regard to the production, condition 

 of fruit crops, markets, marketing
