I have just been reading some of the 
new fruit catalogs of the year, and I de¬ 
clare the advertising is so clever that they 
might convince the wisest that a com¬ 
bination of ten acres of land and a few 
hundred dollars, invested in almost any¬ 
thing they have to sell, is’ all that is 
necessary to insure success and put 
them in the same eatagory with the 
young couple in the fairy tale—where 
they may “live happily ever after.”

Notes from the Ox-team Express 
A Fruit Section. —A few weeks ago 
we passed through the Boise and Payette 
i A alleys, through the towns of Xew Ply- 
j mouth, Fruitland. Apple Valley, etc.. 
some of the finest valleys we passed 
'through on the entire trip.' Here we saw 
some real orchards, where the orchardists 
labor and struggle to keep the trees in 
fine condition to produce “red” apples, 
and the apples surely respond to the 
treatment and care of pruning, spraying, 
mulching, etc. Last year in particular 
there was an abundant crop, considered 
one of the best they ever had. We saw 
hundreds of trees with their ‘branches 
propped with heavy boards to prevent the 
limbs breaking off. The impression one 
would get going through here is of a place 
where the farmer is prosperous, but if one 
stops and has a heart-to-heart talk with 
the natives one soon finds it’s the same 
old story—“The farmer is the goat.” 
Crop Returns. —Here are some facts 
I gleaned from these thrifty people. One 
man specializes in Rome Beauty. Year 
before last he received from the fruit as¬ 
sociation Gc per box for O grade, 10c per 
box for fancy, and 15c per bushel box for 
extra fancy Rome Beauty apples. From 
this lie had to pay all ranch expenses, 
pruning, irrigation, spraying, picking and 
hauling to packing house. One can read¬ 
ily see, if the returns on an apple crop av¬ 
erage 10c per bushel, it would make a 
man scratch, some to have enough left to 
pick his teeth. Last year his crop, the 
best he ever had, was sold for from $12 
,to $30 _per ton, an average of $18, or 
about 45c per box. I saw with my own 
eyes these same apples displayed in store 
windows not 50 miles away priced at 
$2.75 extra fancy; fancy. $2.50, and C 
grade, $2. Quite a spread between 45c 
and $2.75. Another orchardist gave his 
crop over to the same fruit company to 
sell on commission. The railroad com¬ 
pany secured $10,000 of his money for 
freight, and he signed a note for $1,200 
to reimburse the fruit company their loss 
on commission, as they claim, and still 
they took his crop. Can you beat that? 
While shopping a few days ago I saw 
a placard sticking on a box of Delicious 
apples, “0-35—2-15.” I asked the clerk 
what that meant, lie said. “Two of those 
apples for 15 cents.” “Why,” I said, 
“I’m informed that’s the price the farmer 
get for the whole box! IIow is that?” 
IIis answer was, “Well, I can’t help 
that.” 
Riding the Farmer. —One man made 
the remark that he wished there was a 
Federal bureau to investigate, with pow¬ 
er to act to probe these conditions. I can 
tell him there is not nor will there ever 
be, anyone in Washington who will build 
a bureau that will push off those who are 
riding on the farmer’s back. They all 
know, from the President down to the 
last man on the list, through Congress 
and Senate, that the farmer is an easy 
goat to ride, and they are going to ride 
until the farmer himself pushes them off. 
To use The R. N.-Y. slogan, “We must 
do it ourselves.” I understand there are 
seven million farmers in the United 
States. Suppose those seven million were 
organized into one federation, working as 
a single unit. Would they need to ask 
any politicians at Washington to build a 
bureau to give them justice? I think 
not. With an assessment to each mem¬ 
ber of 25c they could employ a manager 
to manage their affairs who would be be¬ 
yond any bribe. With another assessment 
of 25e they could start a bank and loan 
themselves money at low interest. With 
another like assessment they could build 
their own ears to ship their products, and 
in 10 years, if necessary, they could dic¬ 
tate their own freight rates. When they 
get wise enough to do like other indus¬ 
tries they need ask no favors from poli¬ 
ticians anywhere. J. c. berrang. 
Damp Stone House 
Could you give me any advice about 
keeping the dampness out of a stone 
house? The house is built of shale rock, 
and sweats on the inside a day before a 
storm or when the atmosphere changes 
on the outside. I thought of putting 1 %x 
2 in. strips against the outside walls and 
lathing and plastering against them, 
which would leave a 1%-in. air chamber 
between the walls. Would it he necessary 
to bore holes through the floor to make 
this chamber reach from cellar to top of 
house and connect it with small holes so 
the outside air gets in? The house is 
plastered on the outside. E. W. w.

“Of course, you agree that taxes ought 
to be reduced.” “Yes,” answered Sena¬ 
tor Sorghum. “That’s the way my con¬ 
stituents feel about it. Only so many of 
| them want to reduce their own and in- 
jcrease those of some other fellow.”—
