STOP EATING VEAL IS ADVICE OF PACKERS Vice President of Armour & Co, Wants Country to Give Cattle Chance APPLE CROP IS LESS THAN FIRST ESTIMATED "Distributors" President Says Growers Were Too Opti mistic Month Ago. (United Prem Lhr,i wire.) Chicago, Sept. 24. Discussing the re cent convention of the American Meat Packers' tssocltlon here, and how best to spend tho 1500,000 appropriated to educate the public against waste. Vice President Meeker of Armour & Co. pro posed tbday that the slaughtering and marketing of calves be atopped, and that the people be educated not to eat veal. He also suggested that the state enlist the aid of the federal government to pre vent disease among cattle. Meeker declared that 10,000,000 calves are slaughtered annually, each netting about "SO pounds of meat. If allowed to reach the age of 2 years, he said each would net 600 pounds. One third of the annual supply of cattle, he said, was wasted to satisfy the demand for veal. It 1b said tht nutritive value of-veal at the best is slight, and It in no way ap- - proaciies beef as a food.

Da vidson, president of tho North Pacific Fruit Distributors, returned last night from Spokane, Wash., where he has been attending a meeting: of the board of trustees of the Distributors. Mr. Da vidson said: "All board members were present at the Spokane meeting and much busi ness of Importance was transacted. We went Into the matter of crop estimates and reports from the various districts In Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon tana in a careful manner, and it Is ap parent now on the eve of picking time that the apple crop of the four north west states will be 10 per cent below the estimate of a month ago. It la the natural thing for the grower to see the optimistic side relative to the bearing ability of his trees. Ho wants to be lieve, and he hopes for a big crop from his trees. However, when tha apples are being gathered from the trees he finds a shortage that he must deal with. On account of this 10 per cent drop, we find that we have In all probability oversold on some varieties and that it will be necessary to proceed slowly with our offerings on these varieties. "The board was surprised at the way the orders are going Into the Spokane office. Though we advanced the orlce of all apples from five to ten cents per bo, it didn't check the buying. "Last week the Distributors booked orders for 1000 carloads of apples aver aging in price 11.26 for fancies and $2 for extra fancy stock per box. This is an average price of over 11000 per car i f. o. b. and makes a total sale of over1 II, 000,000. We have storage on the At lantic coast for approximately 1000 car loads of apples that we secured early In the year, and I am confident that the crop will be sold up to this limit from the several districts affiliated with the Distributors. If things are right at storage time we .may let the entire crop go. "The Distributors have opened an of fice In London. It will be conducted by S. B. Moomow, who will have charge of all business on the continent. The north west will find a good market there this year for the best and later varieties. "We have organized 15 local assocla-' tlons in the potato territory of the sev- i erai states recently, and now with the new associations Joining in the fruit, districts, we have 104 affiliated organi-! zatlons. Southern Idaho has to date; signed up 1600 carloads of potatoes. We' have established a branch office in ben-' ver with Mr. Dechman in charge of tha' potato business at that point j "The outlook generally is tncoumrtn.! for the growers."
