That the contract wan made for the shorter period leaven the way open for ll possible cooperation with Hood Klver and Vaktma, should It at that time ap pear to !e mutually lieneficlal. Tor a time the disagreement of the growern on the proportion of slgn Inga fi ve-yearcontract wanso strong that there wan talk on the pnrt of many of splitting off from the associ ation ami organizing another. In order to prevent thin, the advocates of the five year plan consented to 1 shorten the period to only one year. 1 The Wena tehee trustees decided to allow district associations to be formed In Cashmere, Peshustln, Mon itor, l)r.vden, Malaga, or any other sections of the Wenntchee valley or adjacent territory.

SUMNER E APPLES ARE FIRM AND PRICES HIGHER A recent dispatch from Chicago says In part: The apple movement was lirlsk here this week anil the mar ket was linn. Trices advanced mark edly ami dealers had little trouble In selling fancy fruit. While almost every car which has eome In here the past fortnight has been more or lens frosted, a good portion of this stock was cleaned up, nnd with moderate receipts of good stock apple men were disposed to hold firmly to their supplies, especially on good red fruit. Iiealem nay the outlook In steady at the advanced prlcen, and they eay that as long an the weather remalnn cool there will be good trade. Some, however, are looking for a decline an soon an the receipts lire more plenti ful. A Rochester, N. Y., dispatch says: Increased Inquiries for apples and mild weather stimulated the deal this week and the movement wan quite w-tlve. Apples are cleaning up better than deal-rs expected. Holdings In west ern New York now are figured down to almost .VKl.OOO barrels of cold stor age fruit. ThU on the basis that there are 7.Y),fKM In New York state. Compared with the last two years these holdings are not considered so excessive. March 1, 1511, It v us es timated that 4IM.00O barrels were In cold slorageln the state, while March 1 two jt ars ago It was figured that 'Vi.Ihsi barrels were In P;ld storage, or lon,MMi Irss than at the present time. l'he demand for apples Is ho good at present that dealers look for stocks to clean up by Jump 1.

Sold by Charles N. Clarke. No crop In the country In more In telligently marketed than wheat. Thousands of men are engaged In the distribution of this crop and pages upon pages are devoted dally to the news of the holdings, the movement and the market. Prac tically no attention Is given to ap ples by the dr.lly press, declares The Packer, simply because an effort Is being made to monopolize and sup press the facts about holdings, val ues and the consumption. Another problem that ought to.be handled Is the question of high prices being charged the consumer by retail deal ers In certain of the larger cities. This in a difficulty that, could be handled by the fruit jobbern, by con certeil acllon In the respective cltlen and if they don't do It the apple grower In going to undertake to cor rect the evil by going over thelob- her'n head. In maklnir thin stiit... inent no secret Is being brought to light. Growers are organizing now with the avowed purpose of elimi nating the middleman. That Is an Impossibility, of course, for It In ap parent that there must be a well- organized marketing system to move the fruit from producer to consumer. An 1 yet the lm percent retail boys ought to be shown the error of their ways and the Jobber owes It as a duty both to the apple grower nnd apple consumer to lend a helping hand. While It Is true that retail dealers In the large cities are charging the consumer very high prices for apples, yet thin same charge cannot tie sub- stanttated as applying to the retail trade In general In smaller towns.
