"The old croakers who said the

have aought cover In the tall timber
because the apple industry of west
ern and Southern Orogon ts coming
Wi the front with a rush.
In the territory from Roaeburg to

can be expected next year, and with
a fair crop, at least 1,000 cars,"
aye C. I. JjowIs. of the Oregon Grow

will mean next yea a business of at
least fl.poo.004 and within fire
yearn, a business ranging from $2,
000.000 to f S.000,000 annually.
This money will come to us from the
outside, and the handling of this
huge crop will furnish splendid labor
In the harvesting, and packing.
It Is even more gratifying to note
I hut our fruit Is meeting -with a very
warm reception In the world's mar
kets. Our orchards are young and
vigorous, the fruit Is large, and
highly colored and of the beat of
quality. Never before did the west
ern Oregon apvle stand as high as It
does today.
I'nfortunutcly many growers have
been a little careless in their spray
ing and havo allowed the scab to
have too free play. For two years
we have had lfttle soab but this year
with the warm moM weather in
June, tho scab ot a good start. .As
a result many a fine apple which
should have Itecn packed and sold
for ti and -bettor a 'box, nan had To
be thrown Into the cull pile. In
a few oases there Is too much dry
rot due to poor tillage. (When our
orchards have heavy crops, e must
give them early and very thorough
tillage. If we will keep them free
rrom functional break-down such as
dry rot. core rot. etc. The Oregon
apples are going to wider markets

This Is very fortunate as It menns
good advertising.
"As regards the association, it is
growing thn fastest It has In Its his

another orchard of 140 acres, and
a third of 80 acres. Our total acre

growing rapidly every day. The
minimum of 20,000 acres which we
predicted uarly in the summer "sill
soon be reached, and the association
