SELL APPLES BY WIRE
Hood River Sella to Hamburg by Ca
ble Communication.
Hood River. Unprecedented in the
history of the Hood River Apple Grow
ers' I'nion was the sale of a number
of carloads of extra fancy apples to
buyers in Germany. The method pre
viously used by European fruit men
has been to secure the shipments on
consignment. However, the recent
sales were made by cable communica
tions direct to Hamburg. The sales
ere made entirely on the reputation
of the union pack.
The great bulk of the Hood River
Valley product will be marketed this
reason west of the Rocky Mountains,
because the large crop of local prod
uct In the East and Middle West pre
vents the union from securing satis
factory prices in the eastern markets.
The seasons' crop will be very much
shorter than the estimates made by
the growers early in the season.
