V SELLING COMBINE OF NORTHWEST EFFECTED (Continued from page 1) nine districts and to employ such methods of distribution and selling as have proven the most effective by actual test la the different districts. Each district to provide brands for its own product and to market establish ed brands in such territory and through such trade as has been using said brands with satisfaction. Each brand to be sold on its own merits and to have the benefit of any estab lished trade. Third, that the old idea of waiting for Eastern buyers to come to the Pa cific Northwest to buy our product is a thing of the past, practically, and that whether sold "t. o. b." or "Deliv ered," it must be done by a real work ing force by appealing direct to the customers. Advertising la Advised Fourth, that with a full knowledge that many inquiries have come direct to shippers from the Eastern states for our fruit a comprehensive and effect lve system of advertising should be inaugurated, setting forth the super ior quality of our product, advising consumers where the fruit can be bought at reasonable priceB and other data. Fifth, that our apples should be marketed In two grades, with distinc tive names, qualities and values, with a possible third grade for cooking purposes and cheap trade, packed and named distinctive from the other two grades. Then in order to accomplish the ob jects sought, it was agreed that the executive and selling force should be made up of the most practical and capable men possible to secure from the present working forces in the dif ferent districts by assigning to each man the duties for which his exper ience had especially fitted him and that the service could be performed at an actual saving In money to the growers as compared with the pres ent methods by reducing the neces sary expenses of the local concerns more than the charges of the large distributing agency. Lesson from Barrel Men The people who pack barreled ap ples in the East very rarely allow their product to sell on the auction or on commission, but both these ruin ous systems are fed by the product of the Northwest fruit grower and it Is fair to assume that it will be ever thus until a harmonioas co-operative organization is effected which will re duce the cost of selling, effect a bet ter distribution and put the fruit into the hands of the actual consumers through the most accessible channels of trade at reasonable prices. With these objects in view, the nine directors of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors closed the conference at North Yakima and are submitting the question of signing up the product of the different districts with the cen tral organization for handling and al so for suggestions or recommendations for improvements in the working plan. The discussion covered many points not) mentioned. The proposition was viewed from many angles and the board hoped to submit a plan that would meet the approval of all the districts but that if any district could not see its way clear to sign up Its product that the plan would still be good for all districts that do Join and be of incalculable benefit to the fruit industry of the Northwest. There will be ample time for a full and free discussion uf this proposi tion at and before the date of the annual meeting of the Hood River Apple Growers' Union on April 5, at which time a conclusion should be reached.

II. Lawrence: The apple tree anthracnose is not uncommon as a rot of the fruit. This may be developed in the orchard, es pecially if the fruit is allowed to hang late on the trees, or may be developed as a storage rot on fruit which is per fectly sound when stored. Lawrence seems to be the first one to have recorded this disease as a rot ou the fruit. He studied it In some detail, isolated the fungus and pro duced the disease by inoculation, by placing spores in drops of water on the uninjured epidermis. He also us ed material from decayed apples to inoculate pear branches with positive results. The most obvious line of attack for the control of this trouble on the fruit is to control the disease In the orchard by proper spraying niehods. The di ease has developed, however, in Borne cases, in considerable percentage In orchards in which anthracnose was not present or present only In very slight amount, not sufficiently to ac count for any large percentage of In fected fruit. This has been observed both in Hood River and the Wlllara ettv Valleys. This fact suggests that a further study of the disease should be made under these conditions In an effort to determine the source of in fection and whether or not the fungus may occur as a saprophyte under con ditions not at present discovered. Where orchards aro only slightly af reefed with anthracnose, or where It is considered advisable to spray as a matter of general orchard practice, growers are advised to spray once each year In the fall as soon as pos sible arrer the fruit Is picked, using Bordeaux mixture, 6-6 60. In orchards where the disease Is on rhe Increase and It Is desired to make a special effort to prevent any further spread, growers should spray twice with Hordeaux mixture, 6-6 50, after the fruit Is picked.
