Bay county, party because of the lack
of quick transportation, has- not yet
figured in the apple trade of Port
land to an extent that affects prices
one way or the other. - That district,
however, made an excellent showing
In its exhibits last fall and Is bound
o become a factor In this market "be-
fore a great while.
The friendly competition between
Hood River and the Willamette val
ley, carried on for the last few years
for supremacy in the apple Industry,
has resulted In niaktug Oregon ap
ples better known in eastern markets,
and orchardists are reaping the bene
fit in receiving higher prices for their
product and enjoying an increasing
demand for their fruit.
So far as the state at large Is con
cerned It matters little whether Hood
River or Willamette valley captures
the greater number of prizes at ap
ple shows; but It does concern the
whole state that the Industry be kept
ap to the high standard attained so
that the best prices may be obtained
tor the fruit and added wealth flow
ltno the coffers of our people.
..ast year there was a marked
shortage of cars at apple picking
time, which is expected not to happen
this year. Prompt handling and de
livery to eastern market! are most
desirable In the apple shipping busi

indicate that the matter of good
