Perhaps no more appropriate Christ
mas glft could be made by a resident
of this district to an eastern friend
than :1 box of Oroville apples. It has
been pointed out that if every real
dent of this apple growing district
would send a box of apples to some
trlend In the east as a Christmas
gift, It would dispose of 30,000 boxes
of fruit and would hnve untold value
lu.stlmuiutlng the consumption of ap
ples by reason of the fact that the reg
ciplents of the apples would probably
share them wlth their trlends whlch
would result in others buying them
for thelr own use.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR
WHEAT BELT PROMIBED.
Though the price of wheat has
been and still is unsatisfactory. care‘
in! and helpful banking methods, de
termined efforts on the part of tarm‘
era and thorough cooperation among
business men have brought about a
remarkable improvement in business
conditions throughout the wheat belt.
Supervisor of Banking J. P. Duke
lays. In the face of the serious low
price handicap. farmers have reduced
their indebtedness and the banks have
put themselves in a position to meet
the problem of any reduction in de
posits that would naturally follow or
continue through a low-price crop per
iod. There has been a general
strengthening of financial position
and though there is nothing showy
about the situation which would at
tract general attention. the fact is,
Supervisor Duke declares. that the
farming districts are in much better
shape now than they were at the end
of the previous crop year.
In meeting the situation Supervisor
Duke gives at great deal of credit to
the co-operntion of outside business
and finnnciul interests. more particu
larly those of Spokane. but the prin
cipal tribute he, pay is to the t’nrmers
themselves and to the stockholders
and officers of the banking institu
tions in the wheat hel..
Somethlng that tvnds to greatlyi‘
strengthen Supervisor Duke's nnalyslsi
is a recent deviarnti ~n on the part of
a high banking authority that Wash-I
ington's state banking system now iss
on a higher piano than that of any!
oth\l' state in the Union with the WSW

Supervisor Duke sees a bright;
promise for the future of grain grow-1
ers in this state. always assumingi
that a fair prict- can he had for their;

crop; that the farmers hav. tone a‘
far grvater percentage 0: their own}
work. have gotten land ready and
have seeded that portion which will
take fall wheat and that they can
look forward with a reasonable ex
pectation to a big crop next year. As
Mr. Duke is a Paiouse dtstrict pioneer
he speaks with authority on wheat
conditions and his predictloa for next
year is the most significant statement
of the early wlnter.
FOUND POULTRY BUSINESS
PROFITABLE AT OROVILLE.
In writing to the Gazette und in
closing a letter from M. 0. Adams.
written from Los Angeles in which
Mr. Adams refers to his success as an
Oroville poultryman. Frank M. Dull
am. Sn, sends the following interest
tng comment which should be of value
to residents of this district:
“It would be well for the residents
“the valley- under the West Okano
can Irrigation district. and the coun
'ti'y adjacent to .harken to the advice
b‘f Mf."Adlmß and go more e‘xtenzi
'ly intofitlie raising of poultry and
harvesting the by-product.' eggs. ' 'Dii
versiflcation must be the solution of
the problem of living and getting
ahead among the land owners of the
Oroville country. and there is no use
longer dodging the fact. It is difficult
to see how any section can prosper
from year to year dependant upon a
single product. as so many of us have
noted in a period extending over
many years. No man is in better posi
tion to speak from experience on this
subject than Mr. Adams. He came ln
to the valley 3 number of years mm
from _Mlnneupolts. lnrgely Ignorant of
the ngrlculturul gume, and purchnscd
iund under the project. His way Will
rocky for some yours. At lust he
hrnnchod out wry extensively raising
chickens. or rather chicks. for the
nmrkct. nnd being a gentleman cn
llowcd with energy and more thun or
dlnary intelligence he built up u very
flourishing business until ho lcft the

could he so carried on thnt thc farm
ers of tho Oroville dlstrlct could In
time profit vol-y mutcrlnlly from such
an undertaking. r. .
Then the em: production in con
junction with the poultry raising
could be made a very important item.
Down in this part of tho sta‘tc.‘ at
Winioek. the egg industry‘bas become
an immense business. A cooperative
organization has been formed with a
tmulager who looks after marketing
the eggs. and this modest side line to
the farm is bringing muny dollars to
‘thole so engaged. Eggs are shipped
‘ont by the car load. The quality is
‘snch as to always command a ready
market. and when the market is once
established there is nothing to it only
to secure suft'lcent of the goods toi
meet the demand. Of course those en
gaged in furnishing the eggs go at the
business on scientific principles.
which includes the best of stock. mod
era housing aud'the best of sanitary
conditions {or the chickens. Taking
climate into consideration it seems to
me all the advantage of chicken rais
lng for eggs would be in favor of the.
dry belt of the Okunogan valley."

and is with the Unit System of Heat-i
lag and Manufacturing company. He;
rtports that his business and all other:
lines in connect‘n with building are!
rushing there. i

“0. my goodness! I HAD forgotten‘
