Conrad Hose, president of the Wenatchee Produce Company, which business enterprise markets every season a vast quan tity of fruit, does not think the agency would prove of benefit to the growers. He says: "I believe that this proposed plan will not work out to advantage for this district because of the fact that Wenatchee raises the best apples of any district In the world, and I le lleve that we can market our own product ourselves. If the growers of this valley are capable of growing, picking and packing their fruit, they certainly are capable of selltug it. Wenatchee apples are held in the highest possible favor wherever they have Iwen Introduced. The Wen atchee Valley lias established a very enviable reputation and it should not risk losing Its Identity by enter ing Into a combination with other districts, such as this promises to t Another thing which induces me to believe that this plan will not work out Kuccesxfully is that the ceutral selling agency, according to the pres ent scheme, will lie such a huge proj ect that It will be too unwieldly and cumbersome to manage successfully from the growers' viewpoint. In any concern of this kind, it Is neces sary that some one man le at the heud of things, and affairs must, In a great measure, be left to him solely, and although I have not lost my faith in htimau nature, I am positive that the temptations for graft In the management of a great enterprise like this one will be, are such that but few men con withstand them and manage the busluess as It should lie managed for the benefit of all concerned. Iain opposed to the plan as now under consideration." P. P. Ilolcomb, president of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit (irowers' Association, In discussing the agency, said: "First, I lielleve that it Is very es sential for the I'acltic Northwest to have a central wiling agency, aHd under the present circumstances it depends somewhat upon the Wen atchee district whether this agency matures or not, and for that reason I believe It is Important for the Wen atchee district to take nn active part In the promotion of this enterprise if it can Im made feasible. "As we understand the agency proposition, each district is repre sented on the general board by one nieintier and that member is con trolled by the directors of the home association. If that can be done, allowing this one member of the geti ernl board to control his own dis trict, I tielieve that Is what should le done." Frank Iteeves, president of the Wenatchee Commercial Club, stated: "I do not wish to be understood as binding the Commercial Club In any way by whatever opinion I may give, nor do I desire to have my Ideas accepted as the mind of the Commer cial Club, but I believe that if the de tails of the proposed agency plan Electrical Contractors 'Bailey SSL Colby Thone SOX "Bartmesj "Bldfj.

There Is no doubt but that a central agency for the entire Pacific Northwest Is need ed at this time, the reason bring that In this manner proper distribution of the crop of each district may be effected with much more ease than each district can do Itself. Tills proposed agency would have control of every conceivable grade, and vari ety of fruit and thus would lie able to supply each consuming district with the kind that Is best suited to that particular district. For In stance, apples that would be a drug on the market In Ohio might be the very best sellers In Texas, and un der such a ftystem as Is proposed the present evil of wrong distribution could be remedied anil every market supplied with what fruit Is best suited for it. I think a central sell ing agency la needed In the Pacific Northwest to work for the benefit of each district, and of all growers." This Week's Apple Report Western boxed apples are In free offering, both at the pier and from local storehouses. It Is getting late and dealers are pushing stock, but holdings the country over are now moderate. Prices are steady on av erage offerings. Some Spitz which cost about $2 per box In the west have been sold at auction lately at $1.00. This fruil could have been sold once at a fair price, but was held too long. The principal varie ties of boxed apples now offered are Pippins, lien Davis, liliick lien, Koine Beauties, Gauos and Wlnesaps. Wlnesaps, Pome I'.eauilcs, lilack Ben and Pippins sell very well when strictly fancy. The proportljn of poor fruit now offered Is not large and the quality runs pretty regular. The weaker stock Is sold mostly at auction at $l.50(n 1.75. The same va rieties of better quality at private sale are worth $2.1fn2.50. Interior Jobbers apparently are pretty well out of stock and are coming Into the large markets for the goods Pro duce News.
