Horare W. Day, managing member
of the firm .f Sgob-1 & Day froii
dealrrs of Ntw York, airived ii.
Qiauta Pa-s Saturday evening and re
teamed over until Sounav evening
to interview Secretary Meeerve, f
the Fruit Oroweri Association, ami
th lea Hug Iruit growers of this di
triut. Mr. Day makes a trip each
si ring through all the principal fruit
district of the United Stated. On
tli is trip he came direct lo California
and fiom there he cam- to Medford
and thi'ure to Grants Pa and from
l.ere he went north to visi. tne various
fruit di.tircta of Northern Oregon '
... r.t ,'..hini,.n T,la,, r!,,lriuin '

and thence on ea.t l
Ihe firm of Sgobel & Diy has ben
In bmineM for 38 year and it was
tbey who organized the auction system
ol filing fro it that has now come to
be adopted in all the big fruit mar
keti of Ike United States and Europe.
It was this Hrm that urnde the world's
record sales of pears lat fall when
they auctioned off a car of Cornice
peart for J. W. Perkins of Medfurd
for the fabolona price of IQr8, this
oar netting Mr. Perkins over f.1000
after the expenses rf picking, pack
ing, freight and coojtnlmloo were
paid, and aa the growing of tb
pears and the interent on the invest
ment aud land taxei probably stood
him $500 he had a net profit of fOO.
With such a profit aa this it is little
wonder that Mr. Perkins has re
fused an offer of $75,000 for his pear
orchard. The other record sales that
Sgobel & Day made were two cats
shipped by the Medford Fro it Growers
Association, one a oar of OVniite with
some D'Anjoos tnat bronght $!U24
and the other a car of Cornice and
Winter Nellis that sold for $3420.
Sgobel & Day also made some record
sales of California peara but at not
the fancy prices had for Kogaa River
valley pears. A car of Cornice of
1100 half-boxes sold for f 3986. A osr
of Cornice and Winter Nellis sold for
$.1789 and two oars of Winter Nellis
sold one for I373A and the other for
$afil4. These pears were all from
Santa Clara valley, a smail mountain
locked vallev that is the ouly district
in California that is able to grow a
pear that can suoetsfully compete with
Hon no River pears for fancy price.
The Saramento aud San Joaquin val
leys are the other pear districts of
California and while a good pear is
rained the quality is not such as will
bring faoey prions. Of grapes Soobel
& Day handled over 100 cars last sea
sou, principally Tokays. Mavhews dis
trict, California, Ihey eold 35 cars of
Tokays that averaged I15H5 a car.
Ther cars each contained WO crates
and each crate ooutalned four ba-keta
of six pounds of grapes to the basket.
From Udi district they sold 44 CBrs
of grapes that averaged $1 IStl a car.
Sgobrl & Day also handle large
quantitiea of foreign grown fruit.
Just before Mr. Day left New York
early In April his Hrm got in a con
signment of pear, peaches and plums
from South Africa. This fruit waa
packed in excelsior with oue layer of
fruit iu a box, the buxs being about
the size of our cherry boxes. This
fruit was brought from the interior to
Cape Town by rail and thence by
steamer to Loudon and theu reloaded
on another steamer for New York.
The fruit was nuder refrigeration all
the tune t a temperature of 84 de
gree and It arrived iu perfect condi
tion and sold well. Last May Sgobel
A Day got In a shipment of apples
from Australia, lielng brought by
steamer by way of Loudou and nnder
refrlgsrattou.
The apples arrived lu good shape
but though fresh from the trees, for
Ihe Australian, as also the South
I African, fall comes at the same part
of the year an siring, in America.
; they lacked the quality of Ihe Aineri
lean apple aud consequently were
! slow sellers.
Mr. Day Is oue of the beet posted
J men lu the Uuited States on all that
' pertains to marketing fiuit and he
1 willingly replied to all the questions
i that Secretary Meeerve Ranked hiai
' relative to the leit telliug varieties of
' fruit ou the New York market aud
the quality of fruit and methods of
packing required. As to quality Mr.
! Day stated that it munt be strictly
fancy and that it was sheer follythat
i would eutail little profits or more
likely a los to the grower to ship to
long dixUuce markets mirthlog hut
the very )esl of fruit. In the East
and in Eurpoe there are thousands of
people having plenty of money who
an large ivuBuuiom of fruit and who
will pav7a hig 'price for it provided
It has the high quality they require.
. This ola of buyers re so particular j
that they will not bay au apple or
other fruit that i the least ill shapeu
or on in oolor. even though It may be

Mr. Day ins sta that the appearance
of fruit has quite as uioch to oo with
its selling as ha the quality.
Strictly faucy fmit, if sloveuly packed
aud in dirty, carelessly nailtd box
with only a peuoil marking to indi
cate what the bux contains, will ouly
sell aa secoud grade and alow Balling
at tnat. It pays big to grade. with th
greatest care, pack bouestly and artis
tically aud to use lithographed label
to show what the box contains. And
the boxes should not ba given the
big belly, as waa foimt-rly the rale,
and the fruit squeezed too tightly in
the box, yet the greatest car should
be taken to give sufficient pressure
for should the trait become loose in
the box while in transit it will
bruhe and ruin. In packing pears
Com ice should always be put in half
boxes aud all other kind in full
boxes.
Sgoel & Day have handled Rogue
River Valley fruit since the begin
ning of eastern shipment aud iu Mr.
Day' opinion, as based on the mar
ket deniaada of the past and preseut
and the outlook for the future, the
only peara to be grown in this Val
ley are the Cornice, Bartlitt, Winter
Nellis band D'Anjou. Their order
of preference being as here given, the
character of soil aud local conditions
gnverniog the kind the Rogue River
orJiiardist should plant. Mr. Diy is
firm in the belief that the Cornice will
always bring extra fancy prices until
superceded by a better pear, and that
Ins not yet been brought out by the
nurserymen. As to selling prices there
ia little difference in Ihe Uartletts.
Winter Nellis aud D'Anjou.
Of apples Mr. Day said for Rogue
River growers to plaut only Spitzen
burgs, Nnwtous and Winesaiie. As
tl.e Auiticau consumption of.froita is
incrasing fanter than is that of Europe
and as the American will have uuth
ing bat a red apple the Spitzenburg
is steadily galuinir in demand aud
Mr. Dav thinks this apple will con
tinue to lead and to go etill higher
iu price. As Rugue River Spitzen
burg rank with the best that are re-
oeived jln th New York market he
hoi Is that growers here should plant
principally of that .variety, yet the
character of the soil would govern
the variety to grow. The Newtons,
considering all factors, will oou-
tiuoe to lie a I profitable apple for
Rogue River orchardista. The old
time Winreap, Mr. Day believes, is
sure to be one of the big money
makeri for Rogue Rivsr valley and
he would recommend Its planting.
The Winesap stands np well iu ship
ping, keeps well in storage and is a
good seller If ef large si. aud of rich,
red color such as can b growu here,
aud it i steadily gaining in favor
with the Eastern trade.
Whtli apples will always be a profit
able crop to Rogue River orchaniiUs
yet Mr. Day think that pears will be
the big tuouey maker for this valley.
Rogue River pears by rettsou of their
perfect quality uow lead th world iu
price, and all the other fruit district
of the United States having been
tested there is no likelihood of this
valley looaing its prestige as a leader
in growing Una peara. Such is the
ravage of the blight in all the East
ern states that the crop of pear is
steadily decreasing each year and aa
tha blight'is uow in every fruit dis
trict in the United State and ha
exterminated every pear tree in
whole districts the ootlovk "for this
fruit is not euoonragiog except In Jiso
lated, mountain locked valleys, such
as Rogue River valley. Mr. Day
see oo reaaonl why the orchard-
, isti ofjthis valley Should ;not be able
, to keep .their orchards free of the
Might. If they are vigilant and have
the pest laws rigorously, enforced the
Rogne River pear grower will have
ao trouble from blight and as Ihe'ricb
people will have pear gardlea of I
the price the record price or 14388 tor ,
a car of pears of the crop of 1S07 will
become the average price for pears
from this valley. Being told that
Rogue River valley can excel Califor- j
nia In grape is it does in apples,
pears aud peaches, Mr. Day asked to
have a consignment of grape sent tc
bis firm this fall that he might test
them and submit them to other grape
exprts of New York. The best sell
ing of the Pa ifio ooast grape in the
New York market, Mr. Day stated,
are the Tokays, Cornichons, Malagas,
Morotcos nd Mnncats, the prioe
ranging usually in the order here
named. If Rogoe River grapes attain
standing in the Eastern markets
such as has its pear and apples, grape
growing would vie with that of pears
and apples for big profits, for the.de-
mand is rapidly growing and there are
but few sections of the United State
that can grow a strictly first claes
grace and especially of tha fancy
European varieties.
Had Secretary Meserve known in
time the date that Mr. Day would be
in Grants Pass a meeting of the fruit
growers and others interested in this
indsutry would have beeu called to be
addressed by Mr. Day. A talk such
a would be given by a man tboroghly
posted, like Mr. Day, on the prob
lems ennnecteu with the shipping and
marketing of fruit wonld be of the
greatest value to the oroharditss of
Roijue River valley. Mr. Day hopes
to again visit Rogue River valley
next spring and he will be glad to
meet with the fruit growers aud give
them all the pointer on the fruit in
dustry that he can.
The interview with Mr. horace W.
Day, of Sgobel & Day, New York,
herewith published in this depart
ment should be out out aud preserved
by all the fruit grower of Rogue
Kiver valley for future reference.
The information that Mr. Day give
ia not to be bad from the usual sources
available to frnit growers and the
facta and figures he gives are both
helpful and encouraging to all who are
interested in the industry that is cer
tain to be the chief wealth producer
for Rogne River valley.

The character of the roads and the climatic condition

prevailing elsewhere that no car other than one built
here with the sole idea of meeting these local peculi

These victories, while demonstrating the superior worth
