Says one of them in a Grand Rapids, Mich., paper: "Wise - apple growers of the northwest are becoming rich now. No question about that. But they are face to face with a crisis. They have been packing their apples in fancy boxes and are getting this year from $2 to $2.75 per box of about a bushel. But the' end of that is bound to come, and this will mean a slump in laud values and in the value of yields per acre. Another significant fact is that no one can tell when the trees of the northwest will play out. The volcanic ash, which constitutes so large a proportion of that soil is rich in .mineral elements and stimulates re- . inarkably quick growth. Consequently the apple trees of . (j-fQCGriCS tne nortnwest are quiCK to come nuo uearing ana men-, early yields are exceedingly large. But the soil apparent- ly lacks the elements which make for long and steady, growth." j Mr. Taylor evidently does not know the Oregon apples, or he could not sav the eastern fruit was its superior in flavor, without confessing his own taste inferior to that of the 'world. The proof of the pudding is the eating, and the proof of the apple, the demand for it, and the price it brings. Oregon apples average more per box than Michi gan apples do per three-bushel barrel, and are in demand at fancy prices in all the markets of tho world, and sought by epicures everywhere. While there is an occasional acre of apples in Michigan that yields $500, so there are many acres in Oregon that yield $2500. Regarding the alleged crisis: The market for fancy fruit is growing greater each year. As the population the the best of everything, and Michigan nor no other sec tion of the east, can raise an apple that compares with the northwest product, Or can supply this demand. As a matter of fact, census statistics show that the apple pro duction of the country is decreasing annually despite the increased orchard area in the northwest.
