THE JNpUSTRY
Secretary Williamson of
State Board of Agricul
ture Speaks on Rates
According to an interview recently
publiHhed, Hocrotary ViIliiui.nn of the
state board of agriciultiiru. i of the
opinion that tho ndvanco in fro.Klit
rates on apples will tew! to injure the
industry. He nays!
"Evidently the continental railroad
peoplo think Oregon npplegrowers have
beon making too much money, and the
stockholders want some ifith. The ad
vance in rates will put a stop to the
planting of new orchards, if enforced,
and make us keep the most of our ap
ples at .home.
"Thore has bueu a good deal of mis
representation about the money made
by applegrowers nf Oregon, and the
railroad peoplo fool justified in an ad
vance in freight rates on products that
yield such enormous profits. The truth
is that only fancy apples bring big
prices in New York and London, and
that tho proportion of such apples is
small compared to the aggregate yield.
Last year apples were abnormally high,
and their eonstmuption at home was
restricted In a considerable degree. The
good times we enjoyed just previous
to the sudden panic were the culmina
tion of prosperity, and things have had
to settle back to normal eondilions once
more. 'A partiay failure of tho apple
crop in tho east helped prices nlung out
i.ero, but wo cannot expect a repetition
of conditions every year. We must de
. pend on the markets of the middle west
to sell the bulk of our apples which
nro not of the strictly fancy order. To
do this wo imiHt put the prices down
to compete wilh the common apples
sont wost from New York. With the
proposed advance of 10 cents a box in
freight to Missouri' river points, we
will be shut put from a great marketH
of the middle west.
"With all tho talk of heavy profits
in tho npplegrowing business, there is
not nioro than an average of $30 an
ncrn net irofit in the raising of or
dinary grades of apples. The orchard
tlml iiriidurcti .'100 boxes of apples an
aero is doing pretty well, and the
added freight of 10 cents ii liox win
absorb this. H can readily be seen how
the proposed ndvance in freights Is
going to discourage the planting of
now orchards in Oregon and Washing
ton. "Tho orchard that produces 15 per
cent of fancy apples is above the nver
ngo. Tho bulk of our yield will there
fore bo 8.1 per cent good marketable
apples that will have to cmnpele with
tho New York apples in Minnesota, the
Dakotns and states along the Mississip
pi valley farther south. New York np
pies are sent to these states at M cents
a box froight, and sell nt the various
stores at 00 cents n box. The proposed
advance in freight does not affect New
York growers in sending their apples
intn the middle west, while the rule
from Oregon to Minnesota would be
about HO cents n box. It can thus tie
seen what the Oregon grower will be up
ngainst if the advanced materializes."
