Hosier Man Optoniistic 



Dr. C. A. Macruni, of Moiser, who 

 attended the Seattle meeting is opti- 

 mistic over prospects for the ultimate 

 success of the movement started by 

 the By-products Committee. "The del- 

 egates at the Seattle meeting were 

 there with an honest purpose and dis- 

 cussed the problems with a serious 

 mind. I am a harmony man, and I 

 look for good to come of the move- 

 ment. We simply must forget the 

 past, trust each other and get together 

 for the general good. We must re- 

 member that what is being done is not 

 for any individual, but for all fruit 

 growers. The fruit growers have got 

 work ahead of them, but I think they 

 will work out a plan that will be very 

 beneficial."

 Editor Belter Fruit: 



I \vant to ronsi afnlate you on the very coni- 

 rrehensive ni-ticle appearing in the New Year's 

 Oregonian from your pen. It certainly is the 

 nu>st compi-ehensive, sensible and practical 

 review of the s'tuatioTi wliicli could possibly 

 be made at tliis time. The problems laid 

 dov n by yon ai-e so absolutely necessary to 

 the welfare of the industry th.-it they should 

 be carefully digested and absorbed by every- 

 one associated with the business. If the fruit 

 business of the Ncuthwesl is saved and made 

 valuable, it will be on the lines which you 

 have definitely lai<i out. It is certainly grati- 

 fying to have as editor of the best fruit paper 

 in the United .States a man so thoroughly con- 

 versant with the business in all of its practi- 

 cal characteristics. With a wish for a most 

 Happy New Year for you and "Better Fruit," 

 I am, very truly yours, 



(Signed) H. B. Mii.lf.r.

This No. 76 gives bigger, better results 

 than any other one-row cultivator ever in- 

 > vented. It is a combination of the best of 

 the time-tested principles of earlier cultiva- 

 tors into one simple, strongly con- 

 structed, easily handled machine that 

 has no equal anywhere. 



It cultivates, plows, and hills corn, 

 potatoes, or similar crops 28 to 4S 

 inches apart. No wood used except 

 for break pins. 



Built for thorough work and real, last- 

 ing service. Its superior construction 

 of finest materials, accurately fitting 

 parts, spring lifti.ig levers, and variety 

 of cultivating attachments make it yield big 

 dividen-^s year after year in time and labor 

 ^ saved and increased production. 



Andrew Gleim, Wheelersbur?, Ohio, writes: 

 "1 iliink the No. 76 Planet Jr is the finest cultivator 

 on the market today. Iispecially fi.r potatoes this culti- 

 vator is worth a half-dozen other makes",
