410 CARS OF
OREGON APPLES
Most Districts Show In
creased Production-At
Hood River Banner Crop
erop, owing to :t great extent to the j
cold au rainy weather early in the,
season. .Of pears there will lie a full
crop, tViutue and melons are also
up to the average and there will be a
full crop of both.
The big crop of the season, however,
will be the apples, there being a large
acreage of the finest and best market
able variety that will bear this year
for the first time, besides whieh all the
old orchards are in fine shape and will
alt yield heavy crops. Last season,
tioseburg fruitgrowers shipped nine ear
loads of apples, while this year a con
servative estimate places the number
of carloads that will be shipped at
least 15.
BUTTE FALLS ITEMS.
Oregon will have over 1000 curs of
fine apples to ship this year, as com
pared with about (100 curs last year.
t.'Mp prospects on the whole are favor
able, though some sections of the state
an doing better than other:i, says the
Portland Oregon in a summary of the
fruit situation. Hood ltiver will have
its banner crop, though' it was feared
'earlier in the season that some damage
had been done. The shipments from
Hood River valley will be between 400
and 00 ears against -0) cars in 110".
The (irand Honde valley is preparing
to send nut 300 cars, double the mini
ber sh i pped last yea r, while Med ford
growera expect to dipi-tch about 200
cars, an they did last season. In the
other apple sections of the state the
conditions are reported as good or n
little bettor than they were last sea
son, though it is known that .Home, vi
ne ties, Baldwins especially, will run
lighter than last year in the Willamette
valley, and it is also said the valley
New towns and Spitzenbergs will not
produce the crop they did a year ago.
Prices that will be realized on shipping
stock will be governed by conditions in
the eastern states, where the yields are
reported to be comparatively light.
High Prices May Rule.
Apple men who are gathering infor
mation in regard to crop conditions in
advance of the shipping season state
that late reports give evidence of high
prices for fancy western apples again
this year, states n Hood ltiver dispatch.
It is stated that so far New York and
Missouri, which are big factors in tin
apple market, only show indications of
an average crop, vhile that of Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois is almost a failure.
At (irand Junction, Col., which is one of
the greatest competitors of voast box
apples in the west, the falling off in the
amount of fruit shipped this year will
according to a report received from
John P. II Moore, manager of the Writ it
(! rowers ' association there, amount to
".(MM cars. The Grand Junction district
includes lunula, Clifton, Palisades ami
(iiaud Junction. The normal shipment
from there is from 2."nni to .toon cars,
hut it is staled liv Mr. Moore that it
will be less than oti this year. Last:
year 800 cars were shipped from the i
dint net. j
In Willamette Valley. ,
"The only trouble with the apple in- j
dustry in tin Willamette valley is thej
difficulty of marketing to advantage,"
said Fruit Inspector K. C. Armstrong
of Salem. He continued; "The apple ,
business is somet king like the cherry
business. The quantity grown is com
paratively small, and no adequate fa
cilities are at Imnd for marketing them, j
In the clierrv business we are at the;
mercy of the local buyers for this sen
Hoi), and the apple industry may be
said to be in much the same condition.
"The apple crop this year will be
larger than ever before, but it is ini
possible to say how many cars there
will ho to ship outside. Last year the
crop was virry light and the outside
shipments amount ed to comparatively
not hing. '
Several of the large nrcliardists in Na
lem's vicinity are looking forward to
very large yields this senr.ou. The Wal
lace orchards, for example, ernbrncitig
about 4-" acres of apples, are especially
promising. The same may bo said of
the Vender and other large orchards.
In Grand Rondo Valley.
The most conservative and in fact
the lowest estimate put on the apple
crop of the (irand Konde valley for tin
coining season is .too carloads of a fruit
that has suffered by little with blight.
Early in the season growers were
alarmed at frequent but light frosts,
and then again by the apparent spread
of the dreaded apple disease. Hut
through individual attention to the mat
ter at the opportune moment, and by
reason of t he careful work done by
Fruit Inspector C. I). Huffman, the
fruit stands todav as prolific and of
as high a grrulo a" has ever been pro
diU'ed here. The .tin. cur shipment that
is expected for the coming venr is
about double what was produced last
vear. though ihe year before that was
close to the mark ;;et for this
The oualitv is expected to be on a par
with other year--.
In Umpqua Valley.
Fruitgrowers of the Fiupqua valley
have good reason to be pleased with the
outlook for this season's crops. Al
though somewhat rainy -luring the early
part of the season, all crops are now in
a flourishim.' condition and it is safe to
Riiv that more tnouov will be received
by half by Douglas county fruitgrowers
than was ever received for any pre
vious crop.
Owing to the faithful work of County
Fruit Inspector Kiddle in causing the re
moval of all old and diseased orchards
throughout the county, the quality of
the fruit will be far better than ever
hefore; in fact, it is the bmist of the
fruitgrower hen- that Douglas county
fruit will compare this year in over
particular with the celebrated Hood
Kiver fruit. Blight has not appai I in

Fred Root, cousin of the secretary of

Mr. Root has just come from New York
and it is hoped persuasion may prevail
upon him to settle in the valley.
The story about the big fire near the
Falls and which was said to have burn
ed the mill and one house, your corre
spondent has found to be untrue. There
was a small fire in the woods, hut at no
time was Butte Falls or its property
imperiled. We are all well and safe.
The special attention of t he county
judge and commissioners is called to
the dilapidated condition of the "cor
duroy'' bridge near t'aphart 's. It can
not be cr ssed and teams and travelers
must cut around it. It is in a danger
ous state and should at once be repair-
as the material is close to hand
for the purpose. Wo hope this will be
sufficient to have immediate needed re
pairs made and the public highway put
in travelable condition. This "cordu
roy ' ' is on an important road much
traveled.
