APPLE CROP EXPECTED TO BE BETTER THAN NORMAL THIS YEAR SAYS C. A.BRAND Fruit Grower Just Back From Tour of Fruit Sections of North ern Part of State Says Market Conditions For Season Appear Very Good, That the fruit conditions through out tho atate appear tn be very good and . that all indications point to a very good year for the fruit men. Is tho statement made by Chnrlea A. nrand, of the Overland orchards, who has roturned spending the paM week conferring with leading fruit men of tlra Will amette valley and with other per iods engaged in tho fruit Industry. A shortngo of apples In the east, due to frosts, cold weather nnd other causes, will bring about a great de mand for Oregon apples, while pecu liar conditions In Oregon will no only bring about an abundance of fruit but the quality la expected to be better than usual and the aize la expected to be above normal. The market demand, fruit wholesalers Mate. will exceed former years and the Oregon growers should receive a Hue price for this year's crop. The long rains nnd wet condition f the ground will tend to produce a larger fruit than In former years, Mr. nrand states, nnd ns a result there will be a more ready sale. In speaking of the outlook for nppl's. Mr. Urand said: "I conferred with n number of fruit growers of the Willamette val ley and found them very optimistic over tho outlook. "Krom nil parts of the east come reports of damages to the orchards by storm, cold und frost. The east will have n very small fruit crop, the brokers stale, nnd consequently the demnnd for Oregon apples will be much greater than ordinarily. "In Oregon, however, conditions ire in neb mono fnvornble. ' There are 1 few sections where there has been mine damage by frost, but the apple crop will not be affected to any great extent. From all indications we will have a bumper crop. This nhoHld be mother good Spitzenberg year, nnd iltogetber w ought to have a fine rop. "One lesson we learned lur.t season vas that the market prefers a large Tppfe. Our big apples brought nn 'xcellent price and found ready snle while we are still holding some of the small fruit. The excessive rains have put additional moisture In the soil und this should result in big fruit. In fact tho Indications point to a much larger apple this year than formetly and with a little thinning nnd cultivation the average size to this city nfter should be much better than in past years. If the growers are careful to work for a big apple the prices re ceived will mopo than repay for tho extra care and work demanded." Film Company Invading Oregon MAHSIIFIEI.D. Or. April 21. (U. r.)
