Charles W. Wilmeroth, Back From
Europe, Discusses Relative Merits
of European Cities as Distributing
Points for Northwest Fruit.
HAMBURG, HE SAYS, IS
OUR BEST TRADE CENTER
Heavier Boxes Must Be Used for
Shipping Across Ocean,
He Declares.
"London is tint poorest of our pres
ent nun lift h for notthweslorn apples,
either Liverpool or Glasgow Is bettor

gather there fiuin all parts of Germany,
uIhii Hollantl. Denmark and eastern llus-
8la. Tim demand Is unusually goon unu
i,rlpr.H nri. ruled 1)V ituallty. Hut before
our apples can be Hold at satisfactory
tirlces wo must provide moie substantial
packages, also tliu popular sizes, ranging
from 120 to lr.O ti box
Charles "Wllmeioth, last year mnna:
ger of the nogue Illver Fruit and Pro
duce association, said this In un Intel -view
on returning from u stay of fom
months In Europe, where he studied
apple-muikoting conditions In the elder
tiade centers
Visited Tour Nations.
"I visited England, Fiance, German)
and Italy,' he continued. "In Hngland
and Germany, there are great markets
for our apples, In Fiance theio Is prac
tically no maiket ut the present time,
and It Is iiuestlonablo whether the ef
fort to cieate trade with either of these
countries would pay either now or In the
Immediate future. The chief tiouble
with tho foreign apple trade is to put
the fruit on tho market in Kood con
dition Too much of it is damaged and
bruised In transit
"The northwestern apple bov, with Its
board sides bulging, Is crushed In hand
ling. At the port of New York, for In
stance, the boxes are put Into large nets,
which aro hoisted by derricks, anil let
down Into the holds of the vessels At
the port of Liverpool, say, they utf ugaln
Jumbled against these net slings to be
hoisted out Of tho holds of the ships and
on the (locks. Our boxes are not strong
unoiiKh to withstand such methods
Jteally. tho conditions in which a ship
ment of box apples leaches the Huiopean
maiket would make a grower weep
Prefer Dox rrult.
"nuropeans prefer the box fruit to
the b.urel stuff, but there must be some
change in the box destined ior foiflKU
trade. It must be made of heavier m.i
teiial and the bulge eliminated. An
other fault I found with some of our fiult
shipments abroad wus that the apples
are too big. The poods are sold by the
pound tlieto and the purch.iseis do not
want all the weight In one, two or tin ft
apples The smaller sired apples, sav
from 120 to 160 a box, moe mote read
ily and ut batter pi Ices limn the large
fruit.
'.Most of the sales In Hurope are math
at auction Immediately upon receipt of
the ft nit This custom, of course, Uuds
to unhappy results. Home duys a par
ticular market Is over-supplied, and then
for weeks it cannot meet even a slight
demand This difficulty, however, count
be avoided by storing the apples at New
Yoik, or the port of export, and then
forwaidliiK tlmm in runhonablo utiunti
ties to the JMropeun markets"
Mr. Wllmeroth's obseivatlons are enn
f limed In ft report from J I Whelplev
commercial agent for the I'nlted Stutts
In Knglund, who suvs anions othei
things:
