In a letter to t:io Medford Com
mercial club Manager Cordon C. Cor
lialcy of tho Sixth National Apple
shaw and Fruit Products congress
nskq Medford business men to urgo
growets ot this vicinity to enter ex
hibits at tho Spokane show, Novem
ber 17 to 22.
Mr. Corbalcy states In his letter
that prize, winning exhibits are to b
sent cast and south for display In
tho principal cities and. binco each
exhibit 111 bo accompanied by the
narao ot tho grower and tho district
whero grown, It will mean splendid
publicity for this section it prizes
aro won by local apples.
Tho letter in part follews:
"Putting this prlio winning fruit,
properly labeled, whero It will bo
seen by 15,000,000 or 20,000,000
people during the week ot Decem
ber 1, means a lot ot publicity for
our northwestern apples and It
means a very great doal ot publicity
for tho individual districts from
which this prizo winning fruit comos.
"Every individual ontry of fine
fruit that you can induce your grow
ers to mnko at thu Sixth National
Applo show will be that much pro
gress toward getting eomo of this
fruit in tho prJzo winning class and
thus securing direct publicity for
your district.
"It isn't often that a commercial
organization has a chance to got
great publicity lll:o this, simply for
tho effort of Inducing growers to
tmako entries in competition and v. a
feci that you will deem it advisable
to actively circulate those premium
lists and to back them up with per
sonal urging of tho growors."

Tho Northwestern Fruit Krchaugo
reports tho sale ot a cur or Itogui
rher Vollow Newtons for oxp'ort. Tho
car Is already euroute to tho Atlantic
seaboard und tho shlpmant is expect
ed to bo exported, probably to South
America, The sale was made at $2.00
u box. Tho btuno Interests huvo re
ceived a cable from their agency In
Germany, telling of tho urrlval thoro
und fculo of the second cur of Hoguo
Ithor Jonathans. This car was pack
ed under tho Itoguo river rulos,
which meaiis 50 por cent color, and
tho shipment nottod tho growers bo
tweeii 1.55 and -1.C0 a box f. o. b.
Medford. Tho ear contained 87 boxos
12 us and turgor, 380 boxos 138s to
lG3s, and 198 boxes of 175s to 200s.
Tho second carload sold at a frac
tionally hotter prlco than tho first
one notwithstanding the fact that tho
sizes weru less favornblo.
Loudon cablod today that It had
sold tho first carload of Itoguo river
Yellow Newtons for tho season at
$2,75 thoro. This means practically
IJ!, 00 hero. Tho fruit w-ns reported
rather green and tho auurket move
ment was not voiy favorable
Ucnnls and Son write concerning
tho London market, date ot- October
11:
London Pears still constitute the
major portion of tho offerings on
this market. Ilarrel stock has not
jlieon in such heavy supply, thu total
being about 5,000 barrels against
1 7.000 barrels last week. The arl
(t!es have consisted principally of
, Uartletts and Kelffers. Doth sorts
jhavo done well. It is getting late
for Dartlett and tho condition gtn
orally is ery forward. Neverthe
less, thcro was a good inquiry with
prices nppreclab:y higher. Kelffers
made a decided advance. There has
been a fair sprinkling ot Anjous and
they have done better. Good quality
Duchess pears aro certain of good
results also. From the above it will '
be seen that tho barrel siuation Is
sound and very encouraging.
When wo revert to tho fancy box
pear trade however, there Is qulto n
dlforent story to toll. Shipments on
too heavy a scale (something like
20,000 packages) havo been the
cause in no small way ot contribut
ing to a very unsound state ot af
fairs. The arrivals consisted of Co
mlpe, Nells, Glou Morceau Doyennes
Hone etc. Tho trouble would not
have beon so acute had not a consid
erable portion of tho arrivals be;i In
overripe condition. If the fruit had
beon hard and sound cold storlug
could have beon resorted to probably
with advantage Forced sales upon
an overstocked market has one re
sult, which Is more or less disastrous.
Heavier shipments still aro reported
for neat week, but we hope for all
concerned that tho condition will bo
bettor.
Tho Cornice wero noarly all Cali
forulan and they camo forward in
half-boxos totally unsuitable for ex
port. The tops and bottoms wore ot
oft thin wood nnd ono inch nulls
were used. When tho packages wero
lifted up, the weight of tho fruit In
a good many Instances forced tho J
bottom right out, Thero wus not a
pear In soma of tho packages that j
was not brulsod badly.
We had a big lot of Washington
peaches, very nice to look at, but
quality vory poor.
Apples London is rather flat at
protoiit, but we hope for an Improve
ment later. Thero havo beon 25,000
barrols of Nova Sootlan apples upon
i the market and tho pricoa are not1
at all good. Oregon and Callfor
nlsn Newtons have beon on tho mar
hot, the later In liberal supply. Tho j
Oregon fruit showed up very nice
aim mauo iair prices. There is a
lot of worm and rot showing In tho
Callfornlans.
Lhorpool Tho barrol situation In
this market aUo It ory good. Ilart
lets aio doing well und Keiffqrs llko
wlfco. Prospects for the latUir va
riety aro excellent, and 'they will
be wanted henceforward at vory cat
lsfuctory prices.
Apples aro doing wonderfully
well, especially varieties showing
good color. Tnnadlun Block this
week bun brought handsome fJguroH
and tho sumo rommka apply to Vir
ginian York Imporluls. Although
green vnrieties aro stated to bo only
in moderate demand, jet good qual

Apple Orrharil In Illooui in Ortolcr
CAHTKHVILLE, Mo., Oct. 24
An apple orchard In full bloom Is at
tracting many sightseers to the C. M.
Traco homo near Black's crossing.
Tho orchard is composed chiefly ot
enrly June and Jonathan apple treo).
According to Mr. Trace, there is no
particular reason for tho second
blooming of his orchard this year un
less tho trees were so soverly affected
by tho dry wenthor of a fow wcoks
ago that th sap wnt down as It does
in autumn.
The rains probably rovlved tho
trees, causing blostoms to again ap
pear. No no of tho trees bore fruit
during tho summer. Mr. Trace Is
preparing to protect his trees from
frost until the early Juno apples mature.
