Mr. Buswell was selling 47 crates a week during the fall and supplies the towns of the Palouse country between Spokane and Lewiston. He is getting from %i to $ a crate. Contrary to most apple shipping districts, figures recently compiled at Wenatchee show- that a total of 500 more cars of apples were shipped from there up to October 15 this year than last year.
