The gentlemnii from Knglnnd who
talkeil about your Ilartlett pears go

faet of the rieliuetH of the Meilfnril
Boil which produces a much larger
penr than other districts, more par
ticularly the !( torn land.
T should not be very anxious to
nhip Medford Hurtled s to Kurope as
T would not witiTinit their lauding in
good order and probably I have had
more experience with cold stored
fruil than any other person in the
.business.
Further on I notice you say, that
lie expecls to make more money for
apples I his venr than he did last, lie
did not tell you what he made Inst

year. Ilelievu 11111 lie wants to make
more for the apples this year than
III) did IiikI. Lots of Medford N'ow
lown Pippins were sold in London
Inst year that did not realize net
buck 01111 dollar per box and Keeing
miollii'i' Kiiglishiunii who was new
in the business paid for Ibe balance
of the crop, the seller of those ap
plet last year must have beim very
hnive in calling around to see men
who received those accounts. In my
telegram to you lust week, 1 mention
ed the fact that reil apples would sell
well here in September. I did not
mention that our eroptt were a fort
night lo three weeks Into und that
the very earliest of our red apples
e.iiiuint appear on thti market in any
quantity until the middle of or this
end of October.
We shall huve hern during the thiri
or fourth week in September, Ihl
IIiidsoii-Fiilton celebration which to
my mind is likely to bring n very
largo number of people to New York,
outside of Iho regular floating pop
ulation, perhaps 2,000,000 more
mouths to feed, so that it is right to
expect a good trade hern the third
am fourth week in September, and
anything in the shape of good fruit
should realize considerably more
money on that account.
' We notice the remarks aliout Bal
four tlnllirie'u hover offcrincr $1.25
for the crop and that your folks de
cided lo hold for $2.00. We would'
point out Unit California has as large
a crop of NYulowiis this year as
she bad last and laht there is con
siderably more Xewtowns in Oregon
this year than there was last, not
withstanding the shorlage that it at
Hood Kiver.
That Nova Scotia has the largest
crop in its history. That Ontario
has got a good crop. That these Cal
ifornia NVwIoiviis, Nova Scotinn and
Ontario apples have to go to Kng
lanil, being grown for that purpose.
That the tpiiuilily of N'ewtowns
grown in Oregon will not in our opin
ion be marketed in any way at the
prices you say they are now held nt.
Your growers may say, that it al
right. White is talking for his own
purpose. Tfiat is not the case be
cause the crop in Oregon is now
more llitul any one or two people can
buy mid however much one may know
the business in distributing and feed
ing the various markets, unless that
distributor can control the situation
his ideas at any moment is likely to
be upset by the other fellow "hut
ting" in and spoiling well laid plans
before they have been properly ma
tured. One can buy and take
chances on a Inrgu quantity of medi
um priced apples all of which will go
(o the masses, but when a certain
quantity hns been used for the class
es, the balance, no matter how good
ir-is, has to go to the masses.
To quote another saying, "If dia
monds were as plentiful as coals,
thev would have to be sold by Iho
toil'."
AHiogi.ing for this long letter and
trusting you will find space for the
same, I remain
Yours faithfully.
