APPLE GROWERS
After Inndiiur in - New York from
overseas on the ltith of Inst month.
Lieutenant Arthur M. Genrv. foimcrlv
of Meilford. obtained a ten dnv leave,
during which time he invcstkn'.iM the
box apple marketing condition ii
custom markets. Ho states iu the
Portland Oreconinn that it is tho com
mon belief of market men that there
is n prosperous future for the box ap
ple producing industry, but he charges
that certain agencies that are now
reprepsentinn- the growers in market
ing are not faithful to tho interests
of tho growers.
"Anv apple grower of tho north
west," savs Mr. Ocarv, "who desires
to feel badlv enn f'gure. roughlv, how
many hundreds of dollars he has con
tributed this vcar toward the several
million that speculators arc receiving
in profits. He enn do this bv sub
traet'ng his not receipts from the
market prices prevailing-, as shown bv
the eovernment reports, and then add
thereto a aencrous fee to cover loeiti-
mate marketing expenses.
Agendo Staking Dig Profits
'T do not consider that the term
"speculat'on" applies to all of the sit
uation. It is a common scandal in the
eastern cities that a few market men
who have organized agencies, the bus
iness of which is to represent the in
terests of the growers, are making
profits that will run well into six fig
ures, bv the practice of having these
agencies sell to themselves, or sub
sidiary corporations, and then resell
ing' through the same agents that
would otherwise have sold to the ac
count of the grower. -
"Market men in New York with or
ders in their pockets have been able
fo purchase carloads of applies in
the northwest bv wire at figures that
have netted them $1 a box profit,
without their running any risk what
soever. Exporters have been able to
insist that credits with which to pay
for shipments of apples be placed in
New York banks before the -fruit is
out on board ship. ' . .
Crop. Value (30,000,000
'There were produced in the north
west last year about 24.000 cars of
box apples.-and the crop this year is
approximately 21.000 cbts. That
speculators are getting such a large
shaic! of the. $30,000,000. which is a
conservative estimate , of the gross
value of this year's northwestern ap
ple crop, is not felt so much bv the
growers, because the prices thev have
received have been better than the
ordinary. .- ' ' ' ,
' An oldtime market man told me
several years ago that the growers do
all their 'hollering' when the price is
low. and overlook a lot . when the
prices in the markets warrant their
making up for the lean, hungry vears
that have preceded.
Agencies Engage in Speculation
"This is not an attack on the honest
out-and-out ' speculator, but upon
those Who sell indirectly to themselves
on' a rising market, and for the ac
count of the grower when the price is
off.' A .,,',-..
"There is much complaint concern
ing lawyers and the law, but neither
the bar nor the law would tolerate.
for once even, this practice of a
couple of agencies, which amounts to
nothing more or less than speculating
in the product of the men whom they
represent as agents.
"The impression one gains from
these manipulators is that in their
opinion, the growers ore 'guys.' It is
my belief that the growers are ' not
'guys,' -.notwithstanding the present
muddle as regards marketing. -"Anv
soldier who has been on duty
in England and France during the last
few months has had an opportumty
to realize that the apple growers of
the northwest have been able to raise
the perfect apple, which is an accom
plishment that has not been attained
bv the old world, or any extended dis
trict in this country except in the
northwest. To grow apples to per
fection is a great feat, and it is nec
essary that - the grower specialize
upon this and leave the marketing to
fiduciaries. , ... .. . I
' '. ' Broad Future Predicted
"The growers'' demand that their
product be bought in the northwest
before it Is shipped hus been a factor
in producing a situation that all mar
ket men predicted a few years ago
would be impossible. Speculators have
been willing to purchase the whole
crbp of the northwest for cash on this
basis. ' . . -. '.
"A number , of factors contribute
to furnish a basis for the general pre
diction that is made bv market men.
namely, that there is a broad and sub
stantial feature for tho box apple in
dustry. .. ... . ' - '
"The embargo upon exports during
the last year and a half has made it
nocessnrv .that the whole apple crop
of tho northwest be marketed within
this country. With the home markets
thus extended and with the foreign
markets to be opened in a larger
measure than ever before, tho grow
ers, by inHisfino- upon eficiencv anil
undivided fide.nit" on (he part of their
agents, can look to prosperous times."

up the nuestion of tho procedure for

the coming congress sessions. 'The
discission dwelt largely upon the
numbe of delegates to represent each
power. The proposul in the French
program, fixing the numbers variously
at five, three, two and one represen
tatives, according to the part dIuvAI
bv the nation in the war, brought
forth certnin objections and the coun
cil ndiurncd without ratifying it.
It is hoped that the council today
will he able to finish the discussion
of the questions regarding the arm
istice begun yesterday and that it
perhaps also will reach an aaremcnt
on the peace conference, program.
If so, it- is probublc that the first
preparatory meeting il be held Tues
day afternoon bv the plenipoten

United States. France. Great Britain,
Itnlv and Japan.
The proceedings yesterday were for
tho most part in English, which is
spoken by Premier Clcmenccau of
France; Premier Orlando of Itnlv nnd
Stephen Pichon, the French foreiun
minister. Arthur H. Frazicr. secre
tary of the American embassy, acted
as interpreter for President Wilson,
translating the speeches that were
made in French.
Germans Most Tardy
It is unofficially stated that under
the conditions of the armistice Ger
many had up to January 12. repatriat
ed 458,000 French prisoners, leaving
28,000 remaining in Germany; that
there are several hundred pieces of
heavy artillery vet to be delivered, as
well as 300 mine throwers, that 1.907
locomotives out of the 5,000 stipu
lated have been turned over, 01.050
railroad cars out of 150.000 and 4.
422 motor trucks out of 5,000. The
1,700 airplanes culled for bv the arm

Efforts of the Trench press to
bring to the fore the nuestion of the
Status of entente and American troop
in Russia and the ndvisnhilitv of
sending such troops into Poland t"
check the Bolsheviki advance, it is
understood, have been without success
so far. The United States, it is sani.

UPON DISEASE IN
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. As a re
suit of revelations made bv tho op
eration of the selective servii-o draft
act, the United States publii; health
service, under the leadership of Sur
geon General Rupert lilue. is starting
n enmpiiign of education in more thtin
30000 industrial plants of the country.
Bv this means several millions of em
ployees will be informed of the dan
gers ami eonswiiieiu'es of venearoiil
discuses. .
The selective service act revealed
that more than five-sixths of more
than 200,0(10 rases of venereal dis
eases treated in the nrtnv during the
last 18 months, were iirouuht direct
from civil life. TlmsSurgenn General
Blue sees that these so-called social
diseases are a national menace, and
all available government nmi'liini-i-v
is being called into use to extend the
campaign against their spread. Tho
government declares that the preva
lence of venereal discuses calls for
action similiar to that taken in com
batting tuberculosis, smallpox and
other infectious diseases. Thev must
he fought in the open.
The United States public health ser
vice through its division of venereal
diseases created bv congress, is di
recting the educational campaign in
industries bv using the inachiiierv
sct up during the V'ur bv the war de
partment commission on training
camp activities. In industrial plants
employing large numbers of men and
women provisions are being made to
install clinics for examination and
treatment. More than 500 of Ihc

try have, up to date, agreed to-tulcc
