EGGS FOR STORAGE HOW GOING EAST Fight for eoatrol ef 'the egg bsslaesg has gaddealy developed la the local trader F. e. b. bids were laddenly ad vanced by oe firm te 29 Vie a dosea, good alt next week, while aaother was reported oat with aa offer of tSe good for Monday. - Higher prices are forecast aext week. Bj Hymaa H. Cohea . Liberal, shipments of eggs are being made from pacific coast points to the Atlantic coast for storage. Sales f . o. b. the coast are reported. Recent transac tions of this character were the first ever known In the trade here. - New York appears to be extremely anxiona to secure all the white eggs from tbe Pacific Northwest that ean ha sent in that direction, evea though prfees there hare been down some what daring the last few dart Soch nric de cline had been expected,-in fact, leaders of the new xorx traae anew a week or so previous what the decline waa going to be because they were in absolute control of the situation. California is a rather fair shipper of eggs to New York at Uti time, bat Oregon is sow securing- preference because ft is said that stuck from this territory haa better storage quality than the eega of warmer sections. V. O. B. buyers generally are offering 27 He a dosen for current receipta of country shippers although ss low aa 27 is being quoted la some quarters.. Storage operation are gaining all long the coast the rain in California being especially marked. i , Hood River; Apple Growers; Look for Profitable Price Hood River. March 4. With the primary meeting of the Apple Growers' association now set for March 12, fruit growers of this section ar now engaged in the not pleasant task of figuring how much they will receive for their apple this year. Continued low foreign ex change, heavy rail and shipping freichts. a short erop oi api'iea Deiow trie normal six. ana a mg eastern barrel erop have all contributed to a sharp drop ia demand .and s corresponding fall is pricea ef nearly all varieties. During the last three weeks, the gradual elimination of the barrel pack and a slackening off of unemployment throughout the country has resulted in an improved demand, especially for Newtowna, and prices bav advanced appre ciably for this variety, i At the same time the associatioa report an increasing demand for snail lota. Late reports from England state that aa high aa 34 ia now beina paid for this apple and tha demand continues good, bat there is a prospect cf tbe early arrival of Tasmaniaa appiea, apru 1 being set aa the date. Local ahippers, how ever, . are confident that Australian fruit will have to be picked green to erriv at this data and will not be able to compete with the ripe western fruit for several weeks after to first of next naau. -!; . In' view of the reneral conditions and the dis semination of - a number of rumors, pesalmiam ha had the floor ber until th - past week, when th Inception of real apring weather and the distribution of a nest egg of nearly 340,000 in 1917 railroad claim by the association had tha efface nf diarwlline much of tha CkOm. While much secrecy is beina maintained concerning the actual averag amount that sales ef fruit will net to the grower, mere is enaence to aliow that, taking all varieties and packs into consideration, it is probable that th crop ef last year will return 31-50 or better per box. In spite of th high cost of all material and labor during. the season, this figure, if it event uates, will leave a margin ef profit that will place th growers of thia valley ia a better posi tion than their fellow j fruit grower ia many other sections, notably In California. In addition to this, it ia generally conceded that, all other thinas betna eoual. the crop of the coming season will, be a bumper one. not only in apples, but in all smau iruits. we past winter bamng been iaai lor tn iruit trees, Thar ia lso every indication that costs of pro duction will be areatly reduced this year, which. if fa-rerabl market exists, is going te insure all growers a fair return on their investment, an thine considered, many erowera of this aee- rion now recognize that there are plenty of worse things that a man can i raise than apptos. pears and strawberries, ana we I ear expressea iaie last year that plenty of orchards won Id be for sals uu spring wuf now prove se oe sua, Hop Acreage to i r Be Cutin 1921 V.lrima Wash.. March S. Hon acreaa in Yakima county is likely to be seriously curtailed next year by reason of the fact that contractors are refusins the usnsl advances for growing the crop. Something like 800 acres ef new yards were put in last year under contract calling for th payment of 45 cents a pound for a three year period. Under th contracts the purchaser are to furnish sdvanos money in the spring to fin.it.r- the vrnwrine f she erana.
