od Iftver Slacier. FRIDAY, JAMJAKY 17, 1902. Tlie Oregon Apple. From the On-gnnlan. People in Portland see littleof the fine applt-s produced in Oregon. The hext fruit hat) Binall wile in this city, owing to the demand for it ubroad, the conse qtien'tlv high price, and tlie local abund ance of second grade apples. Indeed, the apples for which Oregon is f anted, cume to Portland oiily in samples. The great producing districts of the state are so situated that most of the fruitex ported does not come through Portland on its way to the pastern states and Europe, and Portland dealers do onlv a small part of the business. Production of apples on a large scale for consumption abroad has only just Itegun, and there is no definable limit to it. All that Oregon can produce w ill but whet the appetite of the world, so relatively small is the potential output of the state cam pared with the demands of consumption. Apples have carried "Oregon'' to the mouths of the multi tudinous world, but not all Oregon has done it. In all the 116,000 square miles of this state two comparatively small producing districts the one at Hood ltiver.the other aboutMedford.Southern Oregon, and a third on a lesser scale, Union county, these three have made tJ fulue at Orwtfoii upploe. Oregon is famed abroad perhaps.more for apples than for anything else. A native of this state, in an Eastern city, forgets hislonelinessin the companion ship of his red-cheeked cousins, which show off every fruit stand from afar. To boast of kinship with these superb prod ucts of modern Edeu is one of the privi leges of the native Oregonians abroad, and the highest tribute to their pedi gree. All the apples exported from Oregon are labeled "Oregon." It is a popular misconception, say shippers, that Call fornia labels are attached to Oregon ap pies. The reputation made by Oregon apples abroad would seem to bear out their testimony. The fruit is packed in the districts where it is produced, by skilled hands who know how to grade nml urnuiL-u it according to the demands of the trade. From the Medt'ord district in (Southern Oregon apples have been ..vi.orti.il for many vears. Hood River liuu not i.ninved fame so loliit, but in many Eastern markets its products seem to have a small preterence. I'.x portation of apples is increasing each vf.nr. The outside demand this season is especially strong, owing, perhaps, to the short crop in the East. Although the grade of laucy Oregon stock is above that of fruit produced elsewhere, and, therefore, out of competition with the latter, the shortage of the Eastern crop is taken as a stimulant to requisitions upon Oregon.- The Orient has consumed sample quantities of Oregon apples in the past few years. Several shipments by Portland merchants have been made to Siberia, China and Japan this season. The apples were not of the best variety for export, but they found much favor in the Orient. Freight charges across the Pacific are so much cheaper than to New York, about three-fifths, that the market in the Orient would be more profitable if it could be enlarged than the market in the Eastern states and England. The loss from deterioration ' is greater on shipboard than on cars, but it does not correspond to the differ ence in freight rates between Oregon and the Orient and Oregon and the Kustern states. The three outside markets for Oregon apples are in the Eastern states, Europt and the Orient. Each of these has its own ideal of what an apple ought to be. The Chinese, for example, prize small green apples, preferably Virginia Green ings, above all else. The English like vellow apples the best, and Yellow New towns is cheir choice. In the KitHt ern states the deep red apple, with its brilliant lustre and its blending hues, is the favorite Southern Oregon exports more apples to Europe than any district in the state. Hood River devotes itself more to the red varieties and the East ern market. Opinion differs as to the reason for the higher estimation in the East of Hood River fruit than of Southern Oregon. One local dealer says Hood River is a more mountainous district, and more subject to climatic changes, such as are adapted to production of hardy fruit. Another says that, although the Hood River fruit'is better looking than the other it is not equal in taste. A third says it is due to the way Southern Ore gon growers pack the boxes. And a fourth maintains that a comparison be tween the fruit of the two districts can be only tentative, because of the variety of elevations which the two sections af ford. The last merchant says that the fruit of the two places is equal In quali ty, but that apples can be chosen from either w hich will suffer or profit by com parison with the apples of the other. The reason w hy the Willamette valley is not a large producer of apples for ex port comes down from a former genera tion. Farmers of the valley have not yet learned, or, perhaps, have not direct ed their efforts toward growing apples on ' a large scale. This same disposition is seen in other methods of husbandry, and will lie recognized by any one who re Hectsonit. It pays' to pack and ship apples to an otitMile market only when they are grown on a large scale. There are many varieties of apples in the val ley of excellent (Utility, but the growers wiio produce a given kind in large enough measure for export are less than the number of lingers on one hand. VVnen the pioneers came to the Wil lamette valley they planted jE.it enough trees for family needs, or for the econ omic conditions of the time. Their sons have inherited this habit. The old orchards are preserved as heirlooms as if with religious devotion. They have become asylums for apple pests, and all the ills that the fruit is heir to. When they have been uprooted and renewed, they have liecji replaced mostly on the same plan of old Oregon. The tourist sees this even from the car window, exemplified in crooked, scraggy, gnarled trees, bent with the burden of years, clinging to the remnant of liie like old men pat their day. Put although little or no valley apples go to the Eastern states or Euroe, it is believed that the quality of the Irnit of w hich this district is capable of yielding, w ill cope w ith the fastidiousness of the export tra le. The problem is to produce the halt dozen lt varieties in sullicient quantity lor shipment. Ot course, this problem includes preservation of the apples from the pests which allliet it, the dot ruction of tlieorehanls which now brtv d these pests. and the study of how to care lor and mature and ack the fruit. Ill each of these lesHCts the valley farmers are Wilfully deficient. It is contend' I by some exerts that the valley is not adapted to the prodiic tii ii (if the be-t apples, such as come from Hood River, and the.Mediord dist , rict. Its damp climate and low eleva tion incited :u:i!n-l apple culture Foot hills are said to lie the most congenial environment of the fruit. Where the climate is more rigorous than in the val ley it i mparts hardiness to the apples. high grade apples, and many carloads have gone East from there. It is be lieved that Wallowa county, when trans portation facilities shall be more avail able, will also enter prominently into the production of apples. Elsewhere in the Northwest, Northern Idaho and the Palouse country yield excellent fruit. In many places of the Northwest the cod lin moth has not yet made its appear ance. It is going around fast however, and is catching up with the virgin dis tricts. , In order to learn the conditions of the export apple trade and of production of fruit in this state, a reporter inter viewed several merchants n few days ago. F. II. Page, of Page & Son, a firm which does a large exirt business in u..n(lt..rn Oroirnn. said: "After manv vears of effort we have built tip an Eastern and European mar ket for Oregon apples. It has come by assiduous attention to the production of ti,u lu.ut tiosHible frnit and to the pack- It tonlf considerable effoH for -..r to learn these things. The openina apple market merely exempli- the trueism that there is a demand f,. nil thincra crow n in Oreiron that are nrndneed arid Hacked right. We have shipped from Medford this season about too eurloads. "Whv is it that valley ooiu ore not sold in the Kast?" the reporter asked. "There are several reas mm." was the response,"each one asini portant as the other and to recount 11 would take a long time. fM.iuf r.f them is that farmers do nnt nrniv Driven varieties in sullicient mmntitv and ill proper quality. It does not pay to pick up for export one box Ins lit. McMinnville. another at f ',.rvullin. another at Albany and anoth er at Salem, even it tne apples are me finest on earth. At r-aleni, recently, i t,.l an nntinn on IfiOO boxes oi so-called '.excellent amiles. Tney were indeed good but out of the l.ouu uoxes oniy ooo were suitable for shipment. This is an illus trntinn of the. reason the valley does not, send apples eastward. iAitmeshow von srime am iles thaf are apples. Forth ' ... i.''- 1 - l.V .. V..II....J with air. raue openeu a uo. ui i.-n Newtowns. "You see," he continued ivhut. miner!) apples these are. inoi blemish on them. They are intended for extort to Europe, and 1 value them here at 12 per box. Which is more than 1 could get in me roruanu iiirnei,. cec how they are packed.' The reporter saw an ordered array of 24 apples, sev eral of them peeping from their paper wrappers, lieneatn tneni were tnree tiers, each of a like number of apples.all neatly ordered. Hetween the tiers was blue paper or cardboard. On whichever side the box was opened, the apples were in the same arrangement. "Ore gon cannot produce apples in over-supply," he continued, "high-grade fruit ui'll alwavs find a market." J. A. Hell, of l'.ell & Co., said: "Apples at Hood River and in Southern Oregon are shipped away almost entirely by growers, direct to the tvast aim r-urope. The old growers in Southern Oregon have been in the business long enough to have fixed relations with the trade, and they do not have to deal through Portland. The East wants chiefly Hpitz- enbergs, Yellow Newtowns and Jona thans. It does not take much fancy to Haldwins, Northern Spies, Red-Cheeked Pippins or Belltlowers. Most of the highest grade apples here are from Hood River. I regard the shortage of the Eastern trade as a stimulant to the de mand for Oregon fruit. It certainly has improved prices. The best apples comes from the foothills and mountains. This is why Hood River fruit is of such Hue oualitv. The industry in the Wil lamette valley is not organized proper ly to gain Eastern trade. Quality is not. n n to the best, and besides, there are not enough extensive growers." J. W. Selover, of W. N. Sayre & Co., said: "It is a safe estimate that South ern Oregon will export this year at least IM carloads oi lenow ncwu no, enbergs and Jonathans. -Many of the yellow variety will go aDroau. ioru ap ples have gone out this year than ever before and shipments will keep increas ing. None are sold under the California label. As to the Eastern short crop, it is not so short as once estimated, but it is short enough to help the Oregon prod uct. East year we shipped about 40 car loads from Union county which, found ready sale. A large part of the Hood River fruit is of red stock. I do not be lieve there is appreciable difference be tween Hood River and Medford apples." W. B. Glafke, of tilafke & Co., said : "The Portland market is supplied mostly with apples from the Willamette valley, Eewis river and places on the Columbia river. Little Hood River or Southern Oregon stock comes here. The St. Helens district is a new produc er of fine stock. In the Portland mar ket there are all kinds and prices of apples. The Orient offers large possi bilities for trade. We have sent several quantities there this season. The mar ket there opens but slowly, however. A year ago wo consigned to China $100 worth of apples. Half of the consign ment decayed or was stolen. We made the shipment simply to test the market. We lost by the transaction, but received several orders this year. Farm ers here have not learned to pick and pack their apples. They frequently lace the boxes at the top and bottom with good fruit and fill in with culls. Commission men are called scamps, but such doings as this show that the farm ers are also in the game. A few days ami we received about 40 boxes of apples from a farmer. They were tine apples but the farmer, to wedge them tightly in the box, had keyed them up w ith ap ples cut in two. In each box were 12 or 15 apples thus wedged. This is an ex ample of the ideas of packing which pre vail among tanners." .Mark Levy, of Mark Levy & Co., said: "This market does not deal in enough high-grade apples to make ship ments eastward. 1 forwarded a lot of Lady apples in November, w hich brought a fair price, but not enough for my trouble. The handicap in tlie valley is that we have not enough new and ex tensive orchards. I would advise a mountainous country forgrow ing apples. Farmers do not know how much it re acts to their disadvantage to try to sell scrubby stock, by palming it off for first-grade fruit." of Trout Lake Hems. Jan. 12, 1002.
