APPLES OF NORTHWEST GO
TO ALL CORNERS OF GLOBE
(By A. H. Harris in P.irtlaud Journal.)
With Wasliinjrtuii and Or.-n.in a
selling on I ho nmrkolB of London aiid
Liverpool ut 1 pnr ho, with fruit
growers of tho onstorn and central
states discoiirnjtod and dent roving the
worthless orchards wliirli have boon a
l uiuliranro on t lie jjround f,,r years, it
is apparent that tho world will' look to
the northwest for its future major sup I
ply of apples, ponchos, cherries nm! nth-1
or of tho nioro hardy fruits. To Oil l
ifomia will lie retained the honor of
li-ading the world in lemons, orans '
and other tropieul nud semi-tropical
arieuos.
The highest price over paid on the
London market for apples was for
Washington tipples, beautiful Home
Beauties, sent in the original pack
ncross the water to the land of John
Bull. Ten yonrs ajjo such a thing was
unknown. In ten years more it will lie
ns common as the exportation of wheat
pud flour. But the profits to the grow,
or will he greater than they are on an
average in the production of the stuff
of lifo.
To Hood Hiver, Or., belongs the cred
it of first exploiting fully the fruit
industry ot tin rt Invest, Hood Hiver
lias long grown the finest of strawber
lies and the st delicious of red ap
ples, nut tor many years a market was
lacking ami the industry of fruit grow
ing was unknown. The business fea
tures had been overlooked until eater
prising Oregonians struck upon the idea
of going to the eastern and central
stnteiv getting positions on the house
tops nud yelling at the top' of their
voices at the people to sit up and take
I'otiec of Oregon fruit. And the p.o
plo took notice. Then they bought.
They liked the product of Oregon soil
anil water, scientifically mixed, and
they bought more, then some more.
Land Values Shoot Up.
Where the Hood Hiver orchardist had
previously looked upon his orchard land
as a luxury for the wealthy, he soon
came to look upon it as a source of
delfnl possibilities. M"hen the price of
wonderful possibility s. Then the price
of land jumped toward the moon. Young
orchards were set out, people saw op
portunities for snug fortunes and the
future of fruitgrowing in Oregon, that
ia, eastern Oregon war, assured.
The old idea that fruit had to be
grown by natural moisture as manifest
ed in rainfall, has long since been ex
ploded. as it should have been. It is
not difficult to remember when it was
held that fruit grown under irrigation
was watery, insipid, ami had a tendency
to spoil. That fallacy has also gone
glimmering. Hood Hiver had some
thing to do with thai good work. too.
Taking a cue from Hood Hiver. "The
Land of the Big Hed Apple," soon got
busy. Wenatchee had been a desert, or
practically so, and it hail not been con
sidered a favorable section f or any
thitig save sagebrush, jackrabbits and
coyotes, with once in a while -a state
politician. Perhaps to this city more
than to any other section in Washing
ton is due the credit for establishing the
apple business on a strictly high class
commercial basis. Xoiih Yakima was
li pioneer ahead of Wenatchee, but the
development of apples had been retard
ed somewhat on account of the division
of industry, the valley being partly giv
en up to the growth of hops, partly to
the production of alfalfa hay. and part
ly to tin1 fruit business. While North
Yakima is the center for the greatest
fruit business in the state, the plane
upon which it is conducted is not as
high and as scientific as that in vogue
at Wenatchee.
Walla Walla's Production.
The Walla Walla country has long
been famous as a fruit section, but as
a matter of fact tie' fruit industry is
onlv n good section for the market gar
deniiiL' development. Xowliere in the
northwest is the growing of vegetables
carried on in so large a way. and in
such a scientific manner as is done at
Walla Walla. Hundreds of carloads of
fruit are shipped out annually, but the
vegetable business offers much better
profits on account of the very early
season. Connected with the Walla Wal
la section is the Milton Treewater dis
trict. in Oregon, where both market
anidenins nnd fruitgrowing is being
established on a most advanced seal'
and with the most modern principles
known in the northwest.
Ill the state of Washington there arc
over 1 2.000.000 bonri"g fruit trees. They
comprise largely apples, pears, cherries,
ponchos, plums and prunes. Then' is
no way of securing an estimate of the
other varieties because no account of
them is kept by any department. To
produce these trees and the fruit they
bear requires over iooooil acres of land,
which is estimated to be worth f.'W per
acre. Much of the land is worth double
or trehle that price. The largest in
dividual orchard is that of the Blalo.'k
Fruit conipanv at. Walla Walla, set out
bv Dr. X. O. Blalock. an early orchard
is't in the northwest, at Walla Walla.
It consists of l.-.nft acres, and at tim-s
requires the labor of :t'i' men. wonn-n
end children to care for the frni'.
In Oregon the acreage does not .,nn
onnal that of her sister state, but soim
of the land is in a more perfect condi
tion nnd better results are secured. 1"
all parts of the sta" the development
of orchards is nothing short of won.h r
fill, nnd it seems that scarcely a beg n
ning can be said to have takn place.
While in the Willamette valley orchards
have been destrey-d on account ot
pests rendering the trees nnpro.lnctiv.
the other suctions of the state are more
than making up for tho 1..m in that
tion.

Millions of Boxes Shipped.
The mystery of it !s all is, where did
ill the fruit produced from the millions
of trees ant Where did it find a mar
ket? Millions of boxes were gathered
and shipped east, while for local cm
sumption on the coast other millions
itt boxes were demanded. Last fall
apples were sent as far east as NYw
Y'tiJi, as far north as Winnipeg, as far
si ulh as St. Louis, as far north ns Alas
ka. Isn't that room for a good sized
m;-iket place?
Next year the markets of the world
vill again be found waiting for the
high class fruit of (he northwest. The
srpply will be greater, and the demand
h it. (i rowers should make a good
lack, and in every box should bo plac
ed : piece or pieces o' good advertising
from the section which produced tho
fruit. In this way can bo carried the
nf ws of the northwest to millions of
t oi.pie in the eastern nnd central states
who eat the fruit, praise it. but know
as little of the country which produced
it r.r tho American people know of tho
fle of Pines.
.ir is the market open unly In fresh
fmit. Last year Washington sent out
..-i I.MiHl.lKl c;ines of blackberries and
orr.rly as many cans of raspberries. Tn
ail tho state sent rut over H.ilitn.onn
ran, of fruit, produced in the several
'l;-t riots, usually from the choicest of
tk" production after it had ripened too
'ti'ly to stand shipment. The cannery
ntiustry needs development all over the
.fates of Oregon and Washington.
The people are rapidly getting away
from tho old fashioned idea that wheat
fanning is Die only line of agriculture
worth following. Irrigation is forcing
the price of othriwise worthless land
toward the top rapidly, modern moth
oils of homo building and modem con
veniences are foic-ng tho community
plan of living, an the suburban set
t lenient, is bound to take the place of
the big farm and of tho city tenement
as well. Anl th. fruit industry will
j lay an important part in the trans
."ormntion which is (oming, surely but
l..wlv.
