Total . . . . , 2,400,000 Whllo tho apples from thclrrlKited districts have won fumu In the markets on account of their size, flavor and beau ty, It will bo noted that Now York pro duction In point of volume was greater by BOd.OOO barrels. Incidentally, the term "barrel" Is merely a unit of meas urement In tbo I'aclf nprthwost the pro duct being of such, high quality as to de murtd packing In boxes for fancy- mar keting. In tho cas tho old barrel sys tem chiefly is lit' vogue. Despite tbo advanco In lrrlgatlbh, ap ple production In tho United States for 1910 was only 23,825,000 barrels, against 69,000,000 barrels In 1S9G. The New York 8lm states that an Aus tralian applo growers' association ha" practically decided to ship from 90,000 to 100,000 cases of apples to tho United Htatos. This, In Itself Is a graphic comment on conditions in tho United Htntcs. There aro two common causes'for mis conception as regards' the possibility of tin overproduction of apples. One of these Is tho hastily assumed Impression, already referred to, that tho, same peculiar conditions which prevail west of tho nocky mountains also pre vail throughout tho United Stntes. Thu second caUso of error Is the failure to appreciate that tho extensive planting of applo orchards Is not of' Itself a' sure Indication of an lncreaso In production proportioned to tholncreuso In tbo area of orchards. In tho cast an. applp Is np apple, whether good, bail or Indifferent. In tbo west several of tbo states- havi, pased lawK forbidding the-selling or giv ing away of diseased or wormy apples, In favored western localities, like the Hitter Hoot valley, this means nn enor mously enhanced valuo to crops because natural conditions render overy npplq perfect. Judicious planting of varieties In tho manner practiced by the Bitter Hoot Valley Irrigation company, and which recently elicited press dispatches' from Washington, I). C, in praise of the success achieved by tho company In sot ting a precedent In top notch orchardings Is another guarantee of tho quality of tho select western product. In tho old npplo-growing localities; whuro neglect bus been paramount, anil wlinro climatic conditions permit fruit pests to thrive, a largo percentage of the apples aro unfit ror any marKot and an1 scarcely fit for swlno. In tho east, on account of poor varieties which do not admit of keeping or shipping, It is safe to say tluvt only about l0 par cent of the upples aro good enough, for- markot. In tho Pacific northwest, tho firm, perfect qualities of. theapples permit growers to hold u. Inrg" part of ,tbe. crop In storage until late In, the spring, to ex act tho highest possible price for tholr products, With Improved storago condi tions, visitors to tho Pacific northwest In early spring ffhd many carloads of apples which later will-sell at 'premiums over earlier prices, which aro always high. In coinpurison.iiinly a small per eentngo of eastern npples will permit of holding to obtain the .highest market. Tho wearing out of tho soil without adequate effort to restore it, and, more vital still, the prevailing in tho east of deadly fruit pests like' tho San Jose scale, codling moth and many fungus diseases, aro chiefly responslblo for the heavy loss. Where there were thou sands of profitable orchards in tho east a dozen or twenty yvnrs- ago, thcro arc only a few that luivu. survived, In the. east applo growing' Is, a sldvlssue; n,tlu west It Is a specialty, Tho figures of department of ugrlcul turo apple production slnco. 189S aro as follows:- ; S , , i rx i - T TAKE UP, A $!..
