Hood River Growers to
Ship 1000 Cars Apples
Hood R iver— “ The A pplegrow ers’
association expects to ship 1000 cars
of apples from Hood R iver th is sea
so n ,” said W ilm er Sieg, sales m ana
ger.
“ The average num ber o f boxes in a
car will run about 640. The bulk of
the apples a re now in, although some
of the grow ers have been slow to g e t
the crop packed and hauled to our
w arehouses.
“ Our experience th is y e ar demon
stra te s the need of central packing
houses for the quick handling o f the
fru it a fte r it is ready to pick. Many
of the grow ers try to do all o r m ost all
of the work them selves, to save hirin g
help, thus d ra g g in g out the crop until
way into the w in ter. In stead of sav
ing money they are losing, as the
fru it g e ts over-ripe, o r is otherw ise
affected by im proper handling.
The
rain which we had th is fall djd much
in delaying picking and packing, and
ham pered us in g e ttin g th e apples to
m ark e t early. I f we had central pack
inghouses w here the apples could be
hauled in from the field as fa st as
picked, then packed out w ith a force
day and n ig h t, the f ru it would be in
much b e tte r shape, it would not g et
over-ripe, and the g ra d in g and pack
would be all alike. As it is now, even
w ith the m ost rigid inspection, i t is
hard to g e t th e best results. T here is
a difference in the ripeness of the
fru it, a difference in the grading, and
a difference in th e pack.
W hile th is
is m ade as uniform as possible by
careful inspection, y e t the resu lts are
not as sa tisfac to ry as w here i t is
handled by a large force packing un
der set rules and regulations. We
would be enabled in m any cases to g et
enough b e tte r retu rn s to m ake the
cost of such handling to the grow er
less th an it is now under the individ
ual packing.
“ The m ark ets are show ing strong
in all p arts of th is country, but E uro
pean m arkets are slow.
The holiday
trad e is over and the foreign trad e is
w a itin g for the late w in ter and spring
grades. I look for a good im prove
m ent in the European m ark e t la te r on.
“ C alifornia is proving an excellent
m ark e t for us this y ear in w orking off
the commoner grades, and we look for
an early clean-up in all v a rie tie s, in
stead of having a large surplus stock
d ra g g in g out through the late spring,
as it did last year.

Napoleon was interru p ted here by
an atten d an t, who slipped a sm all en
velope into his hand. It was ad
dressed to him In his m other’s well-
known handw riting. He tore it open,
ran through the lines and his face be
cam e radiant with happiness. He
waved his hand tow ard the waiting
audience and w ithout a n o th er word
quickly left the hall.
Ills e rratic actions would have
caused uneasiness if his face had not
been so exprcBeive of happiness. He
had hardly reached the exit when the
| rep resentatives cheered once again,
| He waved his hand In acknowledge
j inent and dnshed out.
He raced to the elevator th a t car-
{ rlcd him to his aerodrom one and In
a few m inutes he was on the roof of
the C rystal l’alace.
He quickly de
scended to the ap artm en t of A stra, his
wife.
His m other aw aited him outside th e
door; th e ir em brace told much.
A m inute late r the g reat man, the
hero, the patriot, the inventor, was
kneeling at the bedside of a sm iling,
happy m other, m urm uring brokeD
phrases of joy a t her well being.
At the m other’s request, w ith shak
ing hands In fear of hurtin g him, he
raised the little, kicking boy and, as
he kissed his son, he said with wet
eyes:
"My son, tho u s h a l t be a citizen of
a happier a n d more peaceful age.”
T here Is little m ore to say.
T hat afternoon Napoleon looked
through the mall th a t had accumulat-
ed and found Count von W erdensteln's
m essage addressed to Astra. He car
ried It, together with o th er u rgent le t
tere, to her. She asked him to read It
to her.
"Y our Ladyship: My se c re t service

"I am glad th a t a m an like the

leon's sim ple com m ent when he had
finished reading the letter.
A stra ’s eyes rested lovingly on Na

T hey both felt the dawn of a hap
