The following bulletin has been leaned b
the Ncrthweatern Fruit Excbsnge:
The season of ID 10 has passed into history.
From this time on. all eyee wlU be toed oa
the coming season of 1P11.
Poxauant to Ita policy of wide publicity,
the Kschaage ahall undertake to keep .It
cilenia poaied from Mm to lim a to crop
prospects, not only In various parts of tn
Northweet. but In the principal competitive
di.tncta. particularly with relerence to Colo
rado and I tah. . -rr
The Grand Valley of Colorado Clyde H
Smith, assistant secretary of the Arnorlcan,
Apple Cotigreaa. U quoted In a r"t
Paper a expoctlng that the weatern slop
thia year will ship 1O.O0O cars of fruit. Me
aaya that th Colorado apple crop will n
lb largest la Ita hie lory. Moatros County
la credited with an output of 1 cars of
fruit, chiefly apples: Delia, -0. w Ith i about
lO peaches, and Ilea a County, 4COO carl ot
fruit. Garfield wlU probably produc 1000
cara. The Winter has been Ideal and in
trees ar In splendid condition to wlthstana
low temperature. K tli cloudy weather con
llr.uea It will be aeveral weeks before pacne
and apples begin to bloaaom. aa the aea
aon la about two wecka behind norm at.
Klaborate preparatlona for amudslng wera
made, but It la doubtful If tha heaters a ill
be needed. Th Irrigated dletrtcta bava al
ready turned In water, leaaenlng th dang.r
of laat year, when tha extreme dryneaa ot
tbe eoll made the treee particularly "nal
tlve to changes In temperature. So mui-n
for eond'.tiona on the western slope of Colo
rado. Of courae. It la well undcratood that
In aplte of these favorable conditions the
entire Colorado crop la liable to severe dam
are at any time. However. Colorado lost
her crop laat year, and It must not be over
looked that thla loaa was the Northwestern
fruitgrowers satn. aa a great deal of th
ron.umlng territory contiguous to Colorado
bad to look to the Northweat for Ita supply.
Th eastern slope of Colorado Moat of the
Colorado fruit romes from the weatern alope,
Howeer, there la a dlatrict In the neighbor
hood of Canon City which producea conald
erabla fruit. Tbe following article I taken
from the New York Krult Trade Journal,
under a date line ot Canon City, Colo.,
March 2(1: . .
"The proapecta In the Canon City fruit
dlatrict were never hetler at this season f
the year and the buda are not advanced far
enough to be In any unusual danger from
frost thla t-'prlng. ln fact, the eeaeon Is
formal, as far as the advancement of buna
la concerned. It not a few daya latex than
the ordinary year. According to tbe state
ments of leading hortlculturiata of Lincoln
Park. Frultmere. Park Center and other sec
tions of the valley, every vsrlety of apples
has abundant buds for a bumper crop,
home varieties, auch ss Jonathans snd Fall
Queens, which laat year bore a small crop,
thla year promiee to yield abundantly. Many
new orchards will come Into bearing this
season, and unleaa the unexpected happens.
Canon Cltjr will have by far th largest
apple crop In her history."
Prospects In Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon Reports from all the principal produc
ing districts In Southern Idaho Indicate that
ther Is a tremendous showing of fruit buds
Vnlesa the crop la damaged by frost, there
will be a very heavy output from that dis
trict. Southern Oregon comes In with a
report of a very heavy broom also. Reports
from the Wenatchee Valley and other prom
inent districts in the State of Washington,
all tend to indicate a heavy fruit crop not
withstanding tha heavy crop of the past
sesaon.
Tbe Exchange submits this Information
simply for the purpose of keeping Its mem
bers posted. We all know that the present
conditions ere liable to very material change
should weather conditions prove unfarorable.
Nevertheless, the Exchange should continue
Its preparation, to handle a large crop ot
fruit and to extend Its branch office ayatem
to cover consuming markets In every quar
ter of the country. It offers to fruUgrowers'
associations a comprehensive marketing
service able to cope with market conditions,
whatever they mar be.

The prices of farm products reflect re
