"I visited England, Fiance, German) and Italy,' he continued. "In Hngland and Germany, there are great markets for our apples, In Fiance theio Is prac tically no maiket ut the present time, and It Is iiuestlonablo whether the ef fort to cieate trade with either of these countries would pay either now or In the Immediate future. The chief tiouble with tho foreign apple trade is to put the fruit on tho market in Kood con dition Too much of it is damaged and bruised In transit "The northwestern apple bov, with Its board sides bulging, Is crushed In hand ling.

"nuropeans prefer the box fruit to the b.urel stuff, but there must be some change in the box destined ior foiflKU trade. It must be made of heavier m.i teiial and the bulge eliminated. An other fault I found with some of our fiult shipments abroad wus that the apples are too big. The poods are sold by the pound tlieto and the purch.iseis do not want all the weight In one, two or tin ft apples The smaller sired apples, sav from 120 to 160 a box, moe mote read ily and ut batter pi Ices limn the large fruit.
