Cheap Apple Packages
for Low-Grndo Fruit
THAT a good deal of low grade
fruit ordinarily permitted to go
to waste in Oregon might profitably
bo sent In larger and rlicaiver pack
ages through the canal to Kustcrn
markets, suggests lleelf to Professor
C. 1. Lewis ns n possibility worth In
vestigating. Ho Is not ready to say
that the success of the plan Is as
uured, since experimental data Is
wholly lacking. Ho does believe,
howovor, that It offers n possibility
that In this way third and fourth
grade apples may be made to bear a
portion of (he production cost of the
crop, leaving' the best grades a better
chance to return a profit after pay
lug the remainder of the cost.
"Tlio greatost care should ba
tnkon," Fn Id he, "to guard against
the Inferior fruit compotlng with the
box products. Since ordinarily the
Jow-grndo fruit trade would appeal to
nn entirely different trade, It should
not be difficult to avert this compe
tition. The cheaper fruit would find
Its market among the thousands of
the poorer classes found In every
largo city, who never cat fresh fruit
at all now. Tlio fruit market would
bo greatly extended by thus supply
Ing fruit to the non-users, while those
who cat fruit as a luxury would hard
lv be tempted to buy tlio third and
fourth grades.
"Knstorn growers who formerly
used tho barrel pnekugo exclusively
luivo now adopted tho bos for Iholr
best grades, whllo retaining tho bar
I el for tho low grades. They put
their box products Into competition
with ours, whllo wo have nothing to
put Into competition with their barrel
fruit. In this competition our great
handicap Is hem lor transportation
charges, which would be almost en
tirely wiped out by oll-water-rotilo
shipments. Since our barrel packs
hoio would cost considerably less
than than tholra cost tlmr. ulillu
tho ciirrjlng charges would bo but
llttlo greater, It would seem that wo
might enter tho market with our
cheaper fruit practical!) on cvon
tonus with theirs."
Co-ordinating Courses in
Agricultural Lines
COl'ItSUS In various lines of farm
ing have been so nrranged for
tlie o. A. c. snort courso mni winn
ers can get the main kernels of them
much more conveniently than here
tofore. Asldo from the fact that In
n number of the courses cortnln prin
cipal lines will bo emphasized during
a single week, the courses Iu gcnerul
have been more closely co-ordinated,
so that while taking major work In
his chosen specially n student will
have ample opportunity to tnko de
sired supplementary work In other
lines.
This mny bo understood by consid
ering tho arrangemont for the work
in farm livestock. During the first
week, January -i to 9, emphasis will
bo placed on swluo production
breeding, feeding and managing
swine. In the second week of tho
course horse-raining will receive tho
principal attention, while sheep and
beef cnttlo will bo considered during
tho third and fourth weeks, respect
ively. Like arrangements arc worked
out as far ns possible for all tho
other Hues of work. Iu this way
farmers who cannot attend for tho
full four weeks may get the gieatest
amount of good posslblo out of short
er attendance.
Hut more than this, students who
tako tho animal husbandry work may
take supplementary work In tho pio
duction of farm crops, study of soils,
veterinary lectures or farm manage
ment. Fnnnora who wnnt two weeks of
elthor dairy production or dairy man
ufacture, or both, may tnko tho for
mor during tho first two weoks and
the latter during tho last two weeks
of the course. Milk testing, about
which ho much is being said, will be
nn important leaturo or production
work, and buttermnklng will bo em
phasized in dairy manufacture. Stu
dents of theso courses mny also tako
tho work In crops, soils, stock-Judging
and stock diseases, Including two
lectures by Dr. Ltle, Stnto Voterl-mirlnn.
