In a talk with Mr. Brlggs, manager
of the Ashland Fruit Association, ha
gave it as his opinion that there will
be good money to the. consignor this
year. He informs us he has made
direct connections with one of the
large English firms handling apples.
These people have bought steamer
space for several hundred cars and
cold storage accommodations in and
near New York for same, so that in
twelve hours' notice they can load on
board whatever cars the steamship
people will take. Only a few apples
will get across, and these by the big
nouses in the export business, on ac
count of the excessive cost. The
steamship space alone is selling for
$40 a ton where formerly it was $6.
The ocean freight on a box of apples
will be about $1.60. This does not
Include Insurance on land and water
nor the freight and storage from here
to New York, loading and unloading,
nor dock charges here and there.
The result will be that fewer ap
ples will get across, and these will

who can get fancy prices for the fruit. !
The last of the New Zealand apples
sold In London for $7 per box this
year. The English firm taking these
apples does not put them on the auc
tion market, but sells direct to the
trade from one of its four houses in
England. They are making a sub
stantial cash advance on the apples
as they are loaded in the cars herd,
and are taking the Newtowns this
year down to 225s to the box, which
you know are absolutely unsalable
in this country.
As Miv Briggs puts It, "Get a lib
eral cash advance on your apples!
then take a sporting chance on the
results." And this year it looks as

They Take Tholr Comfort lta.
A beautiful folder featuring the
Fi&Fla Ronte has been received by
tie ladles of the Ashland Red Cross
from the Liberty Boys through their
rsptitcn, M. J, O'Connor, captain of
the third contingent, Liberty Boys,
Amador county. Captain O'Connor
aara: "Dear Ladles of the Red
Cross: You have been blessed one
thousand times by the boys. Your
comfort baps have stood the test and
are a real comfort. May God bless
every one of you." Now, the trouble
Is that, although our Red Cross has
made many comfort kits!, we have not
made any for the Liberty Boys, and
so. much as we should like to take
these kind acknowledgments to our
selves, we cannot feel Justified In do
ln; so. We are, therefore, publishing
the fact of their having been re
ceived, in order that the pretty folder
and note may be claimed by their
rightful owners.
