cans, the apple increased but little.
SuHlciont quantities of apples to sup
ply the coast markets were being rais
ol In r.thr narta of the state, princl-
mlly in the counties aujaceui io dbu
liiiv. and as the demand
u;,, a ilmit.nri. there whs no special In
centive to plant commercial orchards
in thin iliutrii't.
In 1873-4 two of the apple grower's
i. nnAUnt mnth and
IllUhl UlfJttUCU Junvn, wuimB
San Jose scale, made their appearance
in California orchards. Mainly
through negligence on the part of
growers, such havoc wag created by
these insects that by 18M0 the Indus
try was practically abandoned in what
had been the foremost districts of the
state. As a result of the calamity
which befell thoso sections, together
with consequent stimulated demand
at high prices, onr apples first came
into prominence and the businoss re
ceived that Impulse which afterward
transformed l'ajitro valley Into the
loading apple producing district of
the West. Our elimatio conditions
proved not so favorable for the rapid
multiplication of the above named
posts and the loss to the orchardist
from this source was very light for
many years.
At present the number of apple trees
in this district reaches close to !W0,
UOO. aud the area covered exceeds 12,-
(KJO acres. Approximately seven
eighths of these trees are Newtown
I'ippins and Hellflowers iu about the
proportion of three of the first to
two of the latter. The remainder if
made up of every variety found in the
catalogue, with White Winter I'ear
maln, lied Pearmaln, Missouri Pip
pin, Haugford Seedling aud Lawyer
predominating. From present pros
pects the yield this season will amount
to l,"rU,(X)0 boxes, or about 27IX) car
loads llut slightly more than one -third
of the trees have attained full bear
ing. Figuring on the rapid increase
in ylold of the large acreagos which
are just reaching the bearing age, the
Pajaro apple output within the next
live years will amount upwards of 5,
1)00 000 boxes.
The Newtown Pippin on account of
its superior keeping qualities, may be
sent to the most remote parts of the
globe. It finds best markets In Eu
rope aud tho eastern stutes, but there
is a growing demand In Australia,
Asia, South America and Islands of
the PaoiHo.
Markets for the liollllowor are con
fined mainly to the territory reach
lug from this coast to Chloago, al
though the demand is gradually ex
tending eastward from the lust named
place.
The poorer grades of apples are
shipped to markets within the state,
or are used for canning, jams, jellies,
cider, vinegar and the dried product.
Though Pajaro can produce New
town Pippins and Uellilowers which
cannot be excelled by any spot on
earth, yet through an unfortunate
combination of circumstances, the re
putation of our fruit has sull'ered ma
terially during recent years. Soma of
the misfortunes came through causes
which could not be obviated, others
are due to avarice and shortsighted
ness on the part of some of those most
interested.
Lust season, shortly before picking
time, an unprecedented hot spell pre
vailed for a day or two. The result
ant Injury to the apples shipped out
was not Dorooptiblo until the fruit ar
rived at Its destination iu distaut
markets. It ranidlv deteriorated,
much to our discredit, but too late
to remedy the evil oonaooueneea to
the rmmtatlon of our apples. Again,
the greater portion of the apples have
been handled by packers who buy the
fruit on the tree, paying a lump sum
for the crop. Prices range pretty high
in that event, the packer raying from
cue hundred to two hundred dollars
per acre, dopoudiug upon variety and
prospective yield. After paying i
hiuh urioe and witli the whole crop.
good and bud, on his hands, the
temptation to the packer Is very great
to smuggle inferior fruit into tlie Pox
es marked ' choice.'
Particularly would this inferior
pack be expected when brokers aud
buyers rrom outside markets wink
at tho deception and accept the pack
hcouiiHO they cun get the goods at a
few cents cheaper on the box than
they would have to puy for choice tip
ples. There are reliable puckers iu Wat
souvilln, and if outside buyers would
deal only with those who put out
houestly packed goods, the unscrupu
lous packer would soon be eliminated.
Very few orchardists pack their own
fruit. The growing tendency is to
handle on a plan somewhat similur to
that of the fruit exchanges. In thin
cuse reliuble men have established
huge pucking houses iu town at con
venient places for shipping, Tho or
chardist delivers his crop at this place
in boxes, loose. Prom this time the
packer takes charge of the fruit, fur
nishing labor and material for pack
lug aud also llinliiig a market for the
product. These houses are sending
out a sti ictly reliuble pack and the
plan is proving satisfactory to all con
cerned. Apples are packed In due boxes
10x11x22 inches in dimensions and a
box holds about llfty pounds. Koi
export each apple Is wrapped iu paper.
The grade is determined by the num
ber of rows required to till the end
or a box.

While the apple orchard does uol

things considered, there probably In

and no branch of fruit growing more
pleasant to pursue nor yielding ax
