Dealers Look on Late Spring as
Only Hope Adequate Advertis
ing: Campaign Would Help
In Difficult Situation.
WASHINGTON, April 26. The condi
tion of the apple market ie a matter of
grave concern to both growers ana
dealers all over the country. The re
port of cold storage holdings of apples
on April 1. recently issued Dy ine
United States Department of Agncul
ture. shows that on April 1 there were
approximately 44 per cent more apples
in cold storage than at the same date a
vear aco. and the season of mn-i
was one of unusually heavy production.
Figures from 427 storages indicate
that nearly 33 per cent or xne appies
whieli were placed in cold storage by
December 1. 1913. were still there on
April 1 waiting to be consumed.
Dealers Hope for Late Spring.
Hope that this will be a backward
Spring is general among apple dealers,
for as long as cold days continue a
free movement of the fruit is more
certain. However, let warm weather
come to stay and apple sales are likely
to decrease rapidly.
The fact that the past season's com
mercial crop was considerably smaller
than that of a year ago led to expec
tation on the part of the growers and
dealers alike last Fall that the pros
pective market would be much stronger
than has actually proved me case.
Much stock changed hands at values in
excess of those which marketing con
ditions since show were warranted.
Neither growers nor dealers seemed
inclined to pueh sales with the vigor
that was displayed the previous year,
when they had an enormous crop to
market. In spite of the fact that last
Fall's commercial crop was estimated
around 10.000.000 barrels short of the
previous one. the amount placed in cold
storage exceeded that stored in 1D14
by about 13.5 per cent.
Kiporla Also Kali Off.
A second explanation is found in the
fact that exports of apples from the
United States up to March 1. 1916. were
669.566 barrels less than for a similar
neriorl last season, and April reoorts
are expected to show a much larger
difference.
The inquiry into retail prices indi
cates that while they are not unduly
high except in a few instances, still
they do not seem to have decreased
proportionately with wholesale quo
tations.
Since the wholesale apple dealers are
in daily touch, as a rule, with the re
tailers to whom they sell, they appear
to be the logical factors to initiate an
apple, campaign and stimulate the in
terest of the grocers, fruit stand deal
ers, hucksters and other retail agen
cies. The wholesalers in two large
markets have organized already and
raised a fund to secure desirable pub
licity. If the dealers in other markets
would follow their example and carry
out an adequate advertising campaign
in the press and in all stores handling
apples, the results should be helpful
to all concerned.

WOODLAND. Wash.. April G. (Spe
cial.) The financial muddle in which
the Woodland school district found it
self a short time ago was put up to
the taxpayers of the district in a spe

of school warrants issued in excess of
the amount raised by the 1913 tax roll,
in order to allow the school term to
be completed for 1915-1916.
