M. P. Davidson and Wilmer Sieg Return from Visit
to Convention at Chicago and Inspection of Past

II. V. Davidson, of tho Davidson
Fruit Coin puny, and Wilmer Sieg,
manager of the Mood Klver Apple
Urower' I'nlon, ri'turnt'cl Friday.
Both attended the con vent Ion of the
National Apple Shippers' Association
lielil nt Chicago '" t,",k ,,,e
opportunity to visit the Kastern
market Although '"' report
that there In going to le a big apple
crop nil through the country thin
year, they found the demand for
Hood Klver apple to lie no strong
and the general business conditions
mo prosperous that they arc c ptl
miotic ax to the marketing of the
lMiuiier tipple crop here thl year In
a satisfactory iiianner.
After going to Chicago and attend
Inn the convention, Mr. Davidson
Htopwd at a tiutnher of the principal
apple market of the Central West.
He Hald:
"I found that wherever apple lire
grown therein going to he 11 khikI
yield. Thin In true, with the excep
tion of only two or three eastern
Mtaten. However, not all of the ap
ple are of good tiiallty. At the con
vention all the shipper reported
that large yield are being expected
la their district, and no district of
any Importance report a short crop.
Local Varieties Exclusive
"One fact with which 1 wa par
tti'iilarly lmpreed w-a that the va
rletle produced In the Hood Itlver
Valley are grown le than any other
varletle. thu tending to make a
iH-tter ami more exclusive market
for local fruit.
"Market condition at the present
time are Inclined to he bearish. A a
consequence no price are being made
a yet. NevcrthelcH, there should
! a good market for Hood Itlver
fruit thl Kail, provided the grade I
kept up. Thin I the gist of the
whole thing when It come to mar
kettng Hood Hlver fruit and It can
not lie lmprcHed upon local grower
and hlper too strongly that In
order to protect themselves they
must maintain the grade which ha
made Hood Klver famou. Not only
nhould the present grade of local
fruit lx maintained, hut It would lie
an excellent thing to Improve thlx
grade. If possible. No packer should
put scabby or otherwise Imperfect
fruit In the fancy grade. Thin might
hedone thl jear and the grower
might profit hy It, hut It would re
act to the damage of the aine grow
er In the eaoii to come.
Can Store Local Fruit
"Hood Klver ha the advantage
thl year of having the most exten
sive cold torage system of any apple
dlHtrlct In the Went. Th'i It will
not he neceHHiiry to unload the local
crop on the market uiiIchh condition
are right. If they are not favorable
we can put our crop In ntorage ami
wait for condition to Improve."
Mr. Meg Hummed up hi ImproH

"After vlHltlng the principal Knst

going to be a tremendou apple crop
thl year. It I a year that will de
mand the moHt careful solution of
the problem a to the dltrtbutlon of

for any of n. However, I find that

Early Fruit Crop Short
"There In a short crop of early

the production of barrel apple over

will lie over U'.lHK) .(MM) boxes. The
average Increase will be between .'!
and .Ti per cent over last year.
"Dealer are anxious to get Hood
Klver apple and show i preference
because they have confidence In the
grading and packing. There will he
tl reasonably good market for all we
ha ve and I ee no need for alarm If
the grower and packers do their
duty and realize that l'ie high stand
ard of grading and packing In the
backbone of the valley' success.
"No price conditions ha ve been e
tabllshed ayet so It In too early to
talk about them, but the Culoii will
endeavor to make the w blent possible
distribution ami while trying to find
good market for thl year' yield U
I our purpose also to lay the line
for marketing the crop next year,
which we hope will lie still greater.
Foreign Markets Sought
"The I'nlon 1 going to be Individ
ualized and properly represented In
most of the foreign market thl year.
Arrangement are being made where
by u many a possible of the middle
men through whom the export trade
ha heretofore la-en conducted will
lie eliminated and t he I'nlon will, so
far a possible, do its own exporting.
One ad vautage of this will lie that a
suliHtantlnlly larger percentage of
the returns can lie brought back to
the grower.
"In considering the crop condition
one must also consider that the
times are extremely prosperou and
a a coiinequeiice the consuming pow
er I greater. There are going to be
big crop of everything thl year,
which will tend to Improve the
marketing conditions. Nor doe the
Kast consider that this living a I 'res
Identlal year will depress business
condition.
"In conclusion I might say that
the growers of Hood Klver Valley
are to w congratulated on their suc
cess of the past and upon the stand
ing which they now have In the mar
ket of the Kast."
