((rapes were realy grown in Idaho,
ana stated that after an exhaustive
inspection of the California vineyards
a few weeks previous to bis visit, he
nan seen noiuing mere o excel and

uearear to tne hairopean wines than
any grown in California, and these
wines were awarded one of the 28
prizes at the Pan-American Kxposi
tion at lluffalo acaiust GOO entries.
J. Schaeffner, of Clukstou, isauthoity
for the statement that his vineyard
makes 1,500 gallons of wine to the
acre, and that the cost of growing
his grapes, manufacturing them into
wine, allowing interest on the value
ofthelaud, will not exceed $5 per acre.
This w ine w hen two years old is easily
worth 75 couts per gallon. Prank
Eberle, near Juliutta, made 3,000 gal
lons of wine from three and one-half
acres of grapes, bolides selling large
quantities ot tne tnut. which also
shows tlie enormous profit on the in
dustry. The dreaded pest of the
grape-grower the phylloxera is un
known in Idaho. Idaho prunes are
already known on the Kastoru market,
some varieties showing an unusual
and and plea-ing combination of
sweotuess and acidity. Chemical
analysis of the Dawson variety proves
that it appoxiiualcd the high sugar
content of the 1'ieucu prune, while
uniting with this quality it lias an
acidity equal to that of the Italian
fruit.
The excellence
on exhibition at
Chicago World's
alo, Charlestown
of Oregon fruit up
tlie St. Louis and
fairs, Omaha, Ilutf-
anu i aria exposi
tions, have added much to the
state's reputation as a fruit producer.
Hood Kiver won l(i medals on fruit
at the Chicago World's fair, including
sevou on apples and the highest award
on strawberries. The largest apple
and the largest chorries exhibited at
the same fair were from Oregon, and
the largest pear from Washington. E.
F. liabcoek, Walla Walla, Washington,
took the first prize on apples over all
the world at the Paris exposition. At
Uuffalo the state received 27 gold
medals agriculture, (i; foods and ac
cessories, I; horticulture, pomology,
viticulture, 18; forestry and forestry
products, 2. Silver medals to all ex
hibits, :s:(, of which 18 went to horti
culture; bronze medals, 75, of which
15 went to horticulture. At the same
exposition Oregon won the Wilder
medid olfered by the American Pom
ological society for tho most perfect
fruit. At the Charleston exposition
the Orogon horticultural and pomolo
gical exhibit captured 34 gold, 14 sil
ver and one bronze medal.
With the continued development
of the fruit industry the next decade
us in the past, with the continued
cure of producing extra fancy quali
ties, there is no reason why Oregon
should not become as famous for its
fruits as California and Florida are
for their oranges. For the "year 1904,
Oregon's fruit crops amounted to
2,41:1,500: Prunes, 8102,500; apples,
IRt;t5, 000 ; pears $245,000; peaches,
180, 000; grapes, 8110,000; chorries,
8125,000; other fruits, $40,000.
.Mrilforil out for the Prizes.
"Hood Kiver has a reputation for
Hue fruits which she must work hard
to maintain," remarked Henry Howe,
who is up from Hosoburg to do some
work on his homestead at Mount
Hood. "The Medford people have
some very lino fruit, and they will
make every effort to defeat Hood Riv
er for the prizes at the Lewis and
Clark fair," continued Mr. Howe.
"There is one serious thing the
Medford growers have to contend
with, nnd that is the shabby way in
which most of the farmers put up
their apples. They pack fruit in that
country in any sort of a box, soap
box, coal-oil box and the like. They
have not learned how to make an
attractive pack.
"Neither have they learned to
spray as the Hood Kiver orchardists.
Throe times in one year is considered
sutlicient down there, and thon they
lose all faith in sprayinf because
there are just as muuy worms in the
applos as before they sprayed at all."
Air. Howe came to Hood Kiver iu
1880, and is therefore entitled to be
called one of tho pioneers of the val
ley. He is at present employed as
clerk iu the Koseburg land ollice. He
still looks upon Hood Kiver as his
home.

which irritated my throat and 1 was
dually compelled to stop, as I could not

Harry Steele, who came from Ohio
to Hood River with A. L. Staurfer
last month, has puchased 11 acres of
tho Ike Nealeigh place near the llir
rett schnolhonse, and will make a
truck garden this summer. Mr.
Steele is a florist of experience, and
expects some day to branch out in
that line. Ho placed an order Thuis
day with Frank Strang for 200 apple
and 50 cherry trees. The laud he
purchased is naturally rich, and a
truck garden should be a paying in
vestment. I have a few pieces of cut glass left,
which I wiil close out at the lowest pos

AT $5.43 A BOX
During the mouth of February,
Hood River apples gold at wholesale in
London for 22s 6d a case, equivalent
to 15.43. This is on the authority of
Henry A. Penn, who in a letter to
A. I. Mason, president of the Hood
River Apple Growers' union says :
"No doubt you will be glad to know
that your apples still stand unrivalled
on our markets. They are command
ing higher prices than ever, and we
have paid as much as 22s Gd a case
for them during the last few weeks.
Now, finding from the remarks made
in your address at Boise regarding
your returns, someone is making an
harvest out of your fruit, even after
making allowance for freightage. "
AIM TO REGULATE
THE FRUIT MARKET
The Northwest Horticulturist of Ta
coma makes the following announce
moot :
Fruit shipping associations are con
tinuing to improve in their methods
from year to year. This is due both
to practice and because of increased
bulk of product. Evoy year there is
better co-operation between different
fruit sections. It is probable that the
Hood Kiver f ruit Growers Union,
the Puyallup Association and the
Vashou Association will unite on one
representative salesman each at Hel
eua, Butte and Great Falls, also at
other points east.
At local points it is likely in each of
seveal places that one broker will act
for several associaions. Fruit gowers
are determined as much as possible to
tlx prices In each of the dinerent mar
kets. Jobbers and commission mer
chants buying will handle on a fixed
basis and as soon as any market is
likely to be overstocked, the represen.
tative wilt advise shipping managers
send fruit elsewhere. One of the lin
portant features for any fruit shipping
association is to adhere to strict rules
of picking and packing. The inspec
tion should be very thorough when
the boxes are put into crates. A little
difference or error here caused much
loss to one association last yoar. And
it is a fact that all members of a ship
ping association suffer alike when
there is one poor packer. Individual
members must not only watch their
own pack, but should adopt a system
preventing a single momler from
putting iu fruit unfit to ship, for the
penalty falls on all alike for any error
committed.
Two Young Men Want Positions,
Can two or more young men of
excellent habits and with good edu
cation secure employment among
some of your orchardists or farmers
where they could be out of doors
most of the time," writes C. A. Ham
ilton, care Mutual Life Insurance Co..
32 Nassau street. New York City.
Ihey are young men Iwho can be
reilea upon ana after they get broken
in will be valuable to any one who is
desirous of good reliaple help. They
are anxious to "go west," and if they
don't get "cold feet" will become
residents of your state. 1 am father
of one of the boys."
Mr. Hamilton's letter was dated
March 11, and he says: "Winter is
still with us, and the Hudson river
ten miles up is solid with ice, any
where from 1G to 22 inches thick.
Professor DeVao, our local weather
prophet, predicts one more blizzard
for this month. It makes one shiver
to think of it when I look at your
weather report. ' '
Rural Northwest Fruit Notes.
According to the Medford Mail, be
tween 2500 and 3000 acres of new or
chards have been set out iu Jackson
county, Oregon, the past season.
The strawberry crop at Florin. Cal
ifornia, commenced ripening earlier
and faster this year than ever before.
It is probable that it will U out of
the way before Oregon berries begin
to ripen, although if we continue to
have warm sunny weather and no
frosts Oregon strawberios will bo on
the market two or throe weeks earlier
than usual.
It is rather peculiar that while we
have had much less rainy weather
than usual in Oregon this winter,
there has been much more than the
odinary amount of rain in California.
The conditions are at present more
than ordinarily favorable for a fine
fruit crop the coming season.

Rather Because of Superiority.
Pacific Farmer.
The value of having an abundance of
any kind of produce for sale is demon
strated in the shipment ot apples from
Hood Kiver last year, where over a
hundred carloads of fruit was disposed
of. The sellers did not have to run
around over the country, because there
was suthcent fruit to calf buyers to that
point. The bulk was sold f. o. b. to
Eastern and Southern representatives.
Arkansas Marks Bring $1.50.
The Apple Growers' Union has com
pleted the v ork of shipping last year's
apple crop, the last bunch of Arkan
sas Illacks being disposed of last week
at $1.50 and 81.25 a box. This is con
sidered a very good price. The fruit
shippers will now take a well-earned
rest until the berry season opens
shortly after the first of May.
