Mrl Biehn mentioned the work
of. Dr. P. H. Jobse of Wilsonville.
In 1923 from 88 trees he picked
1026 boxes (bushels) of Graven
steins, and they, netted him at the
orchard-$777 They were sold
loose in boxes; no packing charg
es. They went to a Portland
Jobber, who bought them on the
trees, and he declared that it was
the finest fruit he had ever seen
bar none. In 1921 Dr. Jobse
sold the Winter Bananas from 50
of his trees tor $1052 net profit.

Editor Statesman:
Should the Willamette valley In
crease its apple acreage at the
present time? A few years ago au
thorities would have said yes,
without qualification. During re
cent years, however, we have
learned that the planting ot fruit
trees must be guided by good, con
servative common sense. We have
learned, for instance, that with
iha advent of modern transporta
tion facilities, apples from all sec
tions now compete in tne same
markets. - The United States, as a
whole, has become a unit so far
on an nle consumntion is concern
ed. No one district, therefore, can
safely plunge into the apple busi
ness without making a careful
study,- not only of Its local con
ditlons, but ot the industry In gen
eral. v

Mr. Biehn spoke of the note
worthy orchard operations of Ken
neth Miller of the Sheridan dis
trict, who is quoted below.
J. F. Forbis & Son of Forest
Grove are successful growers.
They produce Jonathan, Spitz and
Delicious; good size and quality.
A. W. Botkins and C. A. Jacques
of Estacada are successful apple
growers. They have lived on their
places and developed their own
orchards; raise Jonathans Spitz,
Newtown, Ortley" and Mcintosh
Red varieties.,
Billy Sullivan, former catcher
for the White Sox, has at Newberg
a 40-acre apple orchard, where he
lives. They 'raise principally the
Newtown, Spitz, Jonathan, Delic
ious, Rome and Staymen varieties.
They are successful growers.
Then there are J. E. Goetz and
J. A. Becker of the Dallas district;
very successful; largely Xewtowns
and Spitzenbergs.
Senator Patterson, Too
Senator 1. L. Patterson, men
tioned above, a few miles out of
Salem, in the Eola district in Polk
county, raises some wonderful De

prizes in several apple exhibits-

THE APPLE
W1L
National Xmls
It Is generally agreed among
those who are nearest to the sit
uation, that an average produc
tion of the present apple acreage
of the United States is sufficient
to meet the demands of both the
national and export trades. This
is indicated rather clearly by the
conditions that prevail in heavy
crop years. During such years, it
Is only the grower with exception
al advantages who makes a profit.
The farm value of the total apple
crop is actually less than that In
TAr nf moderate nroduction. and
the' whole industry, regardless of
locality, is in anything but a flour
ishing condition. Dealers as well
as . growers are likely to sustain
losses. v ' .",' -.

west of Monnoe, they get a won
derful color on their red apples.
A car load of Spitzenbergs going
from thaf district in 1921 showed
op the finest color of any received
in the New York market that year.
If they ;had been of a largersiie
they would have received-the pre
mium price.
Conclusions of Mr. RIohn
In his interview, of which the
above i9 a rather running and
rambling report, Mr. Biehn con
cluded that all it takes to produce
the best apples in the world in the
Salem district is the be3t apple
men in the world and we have
some of them, as the above will
indicate; and they are successful.
There is no doubt that it will
pay growers in the Salem district,
year after year, to raise good ap
ples of the wanted varieties. It
will not pay them, taking one year
with another, to grow poor or cull
apples.
Further as to Varieties
The reader will note that Prof.
Hawthorne, of the Oregon Agri
cultural college, recommended" for
this district in his letter printed
elsewhere in this issue the follow
ing five varieties of apples: Yel-i
low Newtown, Ortley, Jonathan,;
Grimes and Red Gravenstein.
Another good' apple authority,
who preferred tq not, , be , named,
told the Slogan editqrs that for ed
apples we have three outstanding
varieties: Spitzenbergs,, ; .Rome
Beauties and Delicious. He ad
vises strongly In favor of these
three. He especially 'advises in
favor of the Delicious for the Ore
gon trade.
Miller Favors Three Only
Kenneth Miller of Sheridan.
one of the outstanding apple grow
ers of this district, and a high
authority, talks like. this:
'Personally, I favor three varM
eties for the Willamette valley,
and they are: Gravenstein, Winter
Banana and Grimes Golden.
"We raise a good Gravenstein in
me wiuameite vaney. and our
only serious competitors arte ,in
the Sebastopol and Watsonville
districts of California. .Their
Gravenstein is much earlier than
ours, and in ordinary years is out
of the market before ours are
ready.
"We raise a wonderful Winter
Banana, which has .a fine color
and a keeping quality which far
excels any other Winter , Banana
that I have seen in the northwest.
"The third variety which I
favor i3 the Grimes Golden. It is
not regarded as high class an ap
ple as the other two, but grows
to perfection in this valley and
bears very heavy crops regularly.
Its one fault is that it tends to
overbear, and. like the Jonathan,
must be heavily thinned. It ' Is
wonderfully free from scab, which
I consider our biggest problem In
apple raising here, as worms are
very easily controlled due to the
cool nights.
Man Raise Best Apples
There are, of course, other
varieties which do very well, but
if we stay in the apple business in
this valley we ' must not raise
varieties which are only as good
as other districts can produce, but
we mint strive to raise those vari-
rapidly gravitating to Oregon because of the maryelously favorable conditidris and prodigality of resources - XNiM&i ' I

"If We Growers Will Take Proper Care of the Orchards
We Have, We May Efrinq to This Country the Reputa
tion She Deserves as a Producer of Fine Apples"
Editor Statesman:
The other day a commission
merchant said to me. "Some of the
finest apples I ever saw came
from thp Willamette valley." I
nodded and began to stick out my
chest when he added, "and some
of the rottenest." And there I was
without the courage to inflate
further. He added that he knew
of thirteen car-loads of apples thai
were shipped from the valley last
year that failed to pas federal
inspection. "Your orchards up
there," he went, on, "will produce
as fine fruit as is grown any place
in the world, and yet you growers
will ship stuff that is not up to
grade and . ruin your reputation.
Why, now I'm afraid to tell a
prospective purchaser that a car is
from the Willamette valley. I wire
that the apples were grown at the
foot of the Coast range, or some
thing like that."
"But some of the orchards are
showing profits," I protested.
"Sure," he answered, "when an
Eastern buyer receives quality
stuff, he is generally willins to
eties which we can raise better
than any other districts.
"Fox example, we can raise a
good Jonathan, but practically the
whole United States- can do the
same thing, and Colorado raises
perhaps the best Jonathan, which
comes about two weeks earlier
than ours, and, after the skimming
off cf the cream, invariably floods
the market. .
"In past seasonb it has been
nothing to see the (Jonathan mar
ket drop one doUat a box in ten
days after the flood hits the mar
ket, and that is just about our
shipping time. - i
"We also raise a fine 'Rome
Beauty, but it is rarely ready to
pick before November 1. which
means wet weather and pnud.
This adds materially to the har
vesting cost.
"You will notice that these
three varieties, the Gravenstein,
Winter Banana and Grimes, dQ
not -bloom or ripen at the same
time, hut follow each other con
secutively. This allows you to
cover more ground with yoiyr
spray outfit and spread, your har
vesting o;r a longer period.
"Another factor which I consid
er very important is that the lat
est of these apples is off the trees
and .gone before our wet weather
sets in. It invariably costs more
to harvest after the rainy season
begins and in times of prices like
the last few years, it may mean
the difference between profit and
loss."

pay for it. But why should a
grocer deliberately take a loss,
aside from ruining the reputation
of the Country, by shipping in
ferior rruit? Here. I'll illustrate.
Look at that picture."
An open magazine lay on his
desk. On one of the pages there
was a picture of.a bushel baske
full of apples. A, very pretty
basket or apples they were, but
bruises and other defects seemed
to be visible.
"I presume," the commission
man said,, "that those apples were.
grown In an eastern state,: relativ
ely close to one of the big mar
kets. They brought the grower a
gross .return of possibly one dol
lar, and seventy-five cents. At
this "figure, he undoubtedly real
ized a- profit. Now we will sup
pose that you grew these apples
in the Willamette valley. The
local markets were glutted as
usual, so you packed them in a
box- and shipped them to New
York alonsr with enough of your
crop to fill a car. It cost you
fifty cents to pack the box and
ioaa it aDoam the car: your
freight was close to a dollar, in-
eluding iceing. You received the

dollar, and seventy-five cents gros
all right,- which gave you, after
deducting commissions, about ten
cents for your apples. Maybe you
did the same trick last year, and
now when your bank balance is
copied in pretty, red ink, you tear
your.baF and tell your wife that
you are through with raising: ap
ples. After that, you dig up the
New York market reports, find
apples of "the variety that you have
shipped have been bringing "asT
high as three dollars a box. and
threaten to sue your broker.
Was it his fault?
No ijuality. No Profit
The buyer was willing to pay
the price, but YOl'It apples were
not up to grade. Whether you
paid one dollar freight on that
particular box, or twenty cents
didn't matter a whoop to the fel
low that was buying them. As
long as they were no better than
the grower's from Squedunk. New
Jersey, he wouldn't pay a cent
more. Now, what I am driving
at is this. You apple men who
must ship to distant markets,
must see to it that your fruit is
so attraetivp in quality and ap
pearance that it will bring enough
money to absorb the high freight
rate and pay you a profit."
i He had the secret down to gnat's
eyebrovrj-w"No quality, no profit."
He. also rspoke the -truth when he
said lha4sonie of the best apples
on th market come from this sec
tion of the country. I left hi
office with the cohvicfion that
any grower who was not willing
to raise clean apples had better,
for the sake of his pocket-book
and the good name of the country,
do his pruning this winter with
a mattock and grub hoe.
