To Mr. Taylor's remarks Washington correspondents
are volunteering srloomv predictions for the northwest.
Says one of them in a Grand Rapids, Mich., paper: "Wise -
apple growers of the northwest are becoming rich now.
No question about that. But they are face to face with a
crisis. They have been packing their apples in fancy
boxes and are getting this year from $2 to $2.75 per box
of about a bushel. But the' end of that is bound to come,
and this will mean a slump in laud values and in the value
of yields per acre. Another significant fact is that no one
can tell when the trees of the northwest will play out.
The volcanic ash, which constitutes so large a proportion
of that soil is rich in .mineral elements and stimulates re- .
inarkably quick growth. Consequently the apple trees of . (j-fQCGriCS
tne nortnwest are quiCK to come nuo uearing ana men-,
early yields are exceedingly large. But the soil apparent-
ly lacks the elements which make for long and steady,
growth." j
Mr. Taylor evidently does not know the Oregon apples,
or he could not sav the eastern fruit was its superior in
flavor, without confessing his own taste inferior to that of
the 'world. The proof of the pudding is the eating, and
the proof of the apple, the demand for it, and the price it
brings. Oregon apples average more per box than Michi
gan apples do per three-bushel barrel, and are in demand
at fancy prices in all the markets of tho world, and sought
by epicures everywhere. While there is an occasional
acre of apples in Michigan that yields $500, so there are
many acres in Oregon that yield $2500.
Regarding the alleged crisis: The market for fancy
fruit is growing greater each year. As the population
the the best of everything, and Michigan nor no other sec
tion of the east, can raise an apple that compares with
the northwest product, Or can supply this demand. As a
matter of fact, census statistics show that the apple pro
duction of the country is decreasing annually despite the
increased orchard area in the northwest.
Regarding the northwest soil, which so worries the
eastern correspondent, there are many apple trees in Ore

the northwest in fruit grooving, because of soil and climatic

grower does control some of the pests for a brief while,
frost takes one crop out of three, and often more. And
still another-handicap is that the fruit will not stand ship

As a result, year after year sees greater acreage of or
