- The country has gone 'Jonathan mad.
Everyone is crying for this apple and
it has enjoyed a far better demand this
season than ever- before In its history,
and that is saying considerable for this
variety, because It is counted one of
the most popular apples in the market.
. v"We are literally being swamned with
offers to buy the single carload of Jon-
atban apples that we still retain," says
A. A. : Prince, assletant aales manager
of the Northwestern : Fruit Exchange.
W have but one carload of Jona

:The ast. the west, the middle wear
and the south: are evidently intent upon
taking this lone car of apples away

The fight for control of the hiwtcr
-market of Portland is tho most bitter
ever seen here. The war was started
by the city creameries in their, war of
extermination -v -against the '-country
makers.- ;: The tatter have taken up the
challenge and the result Is a war that
might possibly disrupt the entire dairy
industry of the state If allowed to coa
tinue to an extended period. . . -.
Ever since big corporations secured
' foothold in the creamery buslneas
artd established their main placts in the
cities, there has been more or less
friction betwasn the city and country
makers. .. Just what .caused the sui ting
of the present fight here none are able
or willing to state, .-.--I
The trouble started last -week when
the city creameries began to. cu t their
price of prints Is to 2c a pound, while
making no change whatever in the
price -of butter fat er -cream. .The prloe
of cream la generally maintained from
VtO to 2o a pound below the price of
butter In Prints, or the seme vslua as
cube butter. This, together with the
'overrun' is the profit that creamery
interests' cur.- 1 f- - - -, ,
By cutting the price to prints and al
lowing butler fat to remain unchanged.
It simply, means that . the makers are
receiving- nothing whatever - for their
work of manufacture: In. fact., era los
ing money.-." .This, would seem -at-a
glance to affect both interests, thereby
causinar many. :to, wonder whv tha citv
-creameries would ut off kthelr profits
even tnougn tncy wouia war upon their
country brethren.
v-At this time of the year, far the
greatest business of the average city
creamery la In cold atorage butter and'
eggs. Very.- little fresh butter com-,
pared with . the total sales. Is being
made; '" therefore,":- the city creameries
make their profits at this time on' prod
ucts they do not themselves manufacture.-
' ;.'.,l'. ..V- .I - -' .
On 1 tbe other hand, i the country
creameries handle practically nothing
but their own. fresh butter production.
The result Is that when the city cream-,
erles wage war upon them it is rather
hdrd' for them to make both ends meet.
1 1 - is a noticeable fact -' that whenever
the city creameries, begin to wag war
against'' tne country iniereeis. -wiey-await
such a time as the price cf stock
is. high and that cold storage- stuff is
taking the place of the fresh product. -
In e. letter to the (commercial editor
of the Journal, H. F. Meyer, secretary
manager of - the , Northwest Butter
Produce Co;,' which represents over'JT
country creameries, iays: ' v :-' f
- "You. are - undoubtedly, aware, of the
butter -war between .the city and coun
try creameries. ' We had a meeting yes
terday and decided to fight this .battle
to- the, finish. ,' v j- . i . . ' -:
"This morning the big cHy ereameri
les offered to pay only Its for fresh
butter, - I know of butter sold -at that
price According .to the quotations in
the - papers these same creameries are
forced to. pay 1 4o for butter fat i
.-: "We feel that The Journal usually Is
tn favor of creamery. and dairy inter
ests in Oregon, and' chat you might as-,
slst-ue- In publishing a-quotation fur-,
