Olin, Agriculturist Denver & Rio Grande , Denver, Colorado. THE Northwest, in- cluding Washing- ton, Oregon, Idaho and the Bitter Root Val- ley, Montana, has de- veloped into our Na- tion's best fruit bas- ket. Here fruit is graded to a nicety for color, size and qual- w. h. olin ity. When a grower gets into the Skoo- kum class he knows he is at the head, for it is one of the highest grade ap- ples grown in the U. S. A. When his butters, jellies and jams are incor- porated in Farmer Paul's large and growing family of these delectables, he knows he has reached the present acme of quality. Now comes Mr. Cal- kins, of Hood River, with a scheme of furnishing fresh cider ad libitum to any consumer without violating any state or national law on beverages. Mr. C. J. Calkins has developed a pro- cess of condensing cider to a syrup without giving it a cooked flavor and this cider syrup can be put into bar- rels, kegs, tins or bottles as the trade may desire. It will, in the syrup stage keep an indeterminate length of time. The work of Mr. Paulhamus at Puyallup, Washington, with bush fruits, whereby not only the berry crop is conserved, but such a quantity of butters, jellies and jams come to market, it is said that this valley has an annual income surpassing that re- ceived by any other valley of similar size in the United States. Friends let us have a first hand con- ference with our standing organiza- tions and plants not well understood or known.
