TAKES A SHOT AT HOOD RIVER FRUIT NOT THE BEST SAYS LOWNSDALE But F- A. Franz Sajs "Yes" and I)em onstrates that Figures as Usual are Truthful. M. H. Ijownsdale iu a oouimuiiica tion to tbe Oiegouiau Sunday endoav ors to ebuw that apples elaewbeie are toe equal of Hood Kiver apples and states nis reusous as as follows: It is an amusing, as well as an un worthy spectacle, to see Tbe OreKou ian defending itself aitaiust even a faucied slight to tbo reputation ol Hood Kiver apples. For several years tne Uregouiau baa Leeu very indus triously worked by tbe advertising bureau of 11 cod Klver, aud it must be admitted worked witb a masteil; baud. Laudation; of tbut fruit grow ing section at tbe expense of 0 ber lo calities bad become suuh a babit that wbeu a slip was made iu which tbe Willamette valley received a dole ol praise, it was to be expected tbat tbe great paper would be called to ao jouut. But, seriously, it Is gratifying to uote tbat a paper of tbo staudiug ot Tbe Oregouian should even at this lite date berald tbe faot tbat as flue spies can be grown in the Willamette valley as iu auy section of the Btate. l'be claim tbat liood Kiver valley and tbe Kogue Kiver section are tbe only real centers of apple growing has been due In a great measure to a lack ot information as to tbe real status ot tbe fruit market, and not, I imagine, to any desire to ignore or slight tbe Willamette valeliy. For lnstauoe, it is not generally known tbat two orchards in the Wil lamette valley p reduce nioie Spitzeu bergs tbaii tbe whole Hood Klver oouutry. It is not generally kuowu, but is neverless a faur, tbat at leant one grower has for many years receiv- e1 exactly as much for bis apples as nave tne growers 01 auy other seutiou in tbe Btate. It is not generally known tbat, notwithstanding tbe great cry about 93 applus,and tbe puz zle about tbe poor man's supply, uood Klver Is oueriug today prune apples for 85 oents pet box, while tbe same Iruit la selling lu 1 ambill at considerably higher figures, Witb trumfpot blast it is announced tbat Uood Kiver apples are the best iu the world because they keep until midsummer." (A ratber ticklish as sertion for an hortlcultual authority to make.) It is not generally kuowu in this oounection tbat in a test made some years ago under tbe direc tion ot Uood Kiver people, and in one of their own waiehouses, North ern Spy apples grown at Soappoose and shipped to ilood Kiver. beld up longer and better in every way than tbe choicest Uood lilver Iruit. Now. we ot the Willamette valley do not consider the NorthernSpyia good keepei, and wonder what would have been tbe result if some or our valley keepers had been in tbe test. I sug gest to my good friends lo Hood Kiv er tbat It might be well to oouduot a quiet little test ou tbe keeping quali ty of their apples, aa compared witb tbe same varieties grown iu Yamhill, tor instance. 1 have at this moment a few apples in my warehouses which 1 would gladly lend to suoh au experi ment. The swagger of a braggart mis never appealed to me. Ills fume bus never beeu deserved, it has not j(en;ul no- litio to say that my section could produoe better apples than auy otlior locality In tbe world. I bave tratoiud In too many fruit growing Ittud and bave too otten seen the fruit of 01 Lor localities to make such au idiotic ua sertiou. Kut so muon has bun pub lished by Information bureaus and by horticultural writers generally iu laudation of Uood Kivet us tbe very best apple suction in the state, tl.i.tj I propose after my picking season Is finished, to make an exhibition In tbe most public manner possible wbiob will demonstrate beyond ill cavil, beyond all sneer, beyond till Ignorance, and, 1 nope, to tbe iirltul- lation of my rivals, tbat as 11 no tip ples are grown today iu old Van i. 1, as In Kogue Kiver valley, Hood Ui.er valley, or auy otne valley tn tbe sen e ofOregou. M. O. LOWNSDALK. K A. Franz, of the Apple (Jrowers uulou objects to Mr. Lownsdale's statements and in a communication anwsers bis article by presenting the below ptinted facts: Sinoe tbe Biennial Fruit fair at Hood Rivet several comments bave been made aud comparisons diawu about tbe toal value of Uood Kiver apples Most of these remarks have been prompted by the jealousy ot sec tions where apples are grown, while others bave been made with the lull and honest conviction tbat tbey can produoe a better urticle tbau Uood Klver. in regard to tne uregomau bavins beeu "industriously worktul for several years by tbe Hood Rei advertising bureau," 1 v.Uh to .my tbat one ot tbe missions of suoh gtest daily newspapers as tbo Oregonian is to acquaint tbe out.-ldo world with tbe resources of its own state, and by doing so bring in new settlers, invite eastren capital to invest here aud take advantage of tbe many opportun ities offered. That is what tbe Ore eon 'an has doue in a creditable man ner, not ouly for Uood Klver, but lor tbo entire Umpire state ot tne Pacific. But 1 why did tbe Oregonian do it tor Hood Kiver? Because we bad something- to back up our assertions and statements. We could deliver tbe goods and did deliver tbe goods, and are delivering tbem today. Hood River is credit to tbe state of Ore gon, and deserves all the publicity she Beta. 8 be has earned it honestly. and by bard work. Not through tbe agency of an advertising bureau In inducing newspapers to make false statements about her, but by tbe hard work of Its Industrious growers, paok era and 4hippers of fruit. All tbat may be a thorn in the aide of soma of the other fruit growing sections ot Uregon. JJtit tbey oau soon get rid of it if tbey will only wake np, plant varieties tbat are suit able to their local oonditiona and then work la their 1 orchards early. late, and at all times, use brain as well aa muscle in tneir work, aud when tbey have accomplished some thing, sliow it to the world, and if It is of merit, no oue will feel any hap pier over it tbau Uood Kiver. Hood Kiver baa never used any methods to gain publicity tbat were uot honorable and atriouy above board. All we have ever done la to give information to those aeeking it, and to snow our pi oauct at every op' purtuuity tbat presented itself, aud tbat la what every loyal citizen should do tbat has tbe interest aud future ol bis towu, couuty, or s ate at bear. Kogue Kiver and liood hiver valleys are spoken ot aa tne apple growing oeuteia ot Oregon because they have suown to tbe world tnat tbey are pro ducers of tine apples, and lota ol tbem. Tbe Oregonisu and other newspapers, aud iu fact, every public spirited citizen ot Ureguu, would be ouly too glad to add other sections ol this great state to this roll of bouoi. Tbe assertlou tbat Hood Kivet ap pies are tbe best keepers waa made iu tbe lirst plaoe by buyers of our fruit. If tbe man tbat planks down from 2.50 to 3.U5 a box foi ,UUU boxes ul Uood Kiver apples says so, and furthermore says tbat one of tbe rea- sous that be pays us those priceajs because our apples do keep alter oth ers are all gone, theu 1 tbiuk we can readily believe it. itiat we bave ottered prime apples at 85 cents per uox is quite ttne, aud tney went like hot cakes, in faot we did not bave euougb to go around. That ia easily explained, ilood Klver farmeia made tbe same mistake tbat was made in other apple growing sectloua teu or Ulteen years ago by planting ever; variety mat tbe nurseryman bad in bis catalogue, so aa to have early, midwiuter, late, green, red, in faot, all tbe varieties ot tbe apple kingdom in their orchards. We bave fouud in tbe laat tour or five years that all ol them weie not $3 varieties, so we grafted over some of tbem, some we dug up, aud some we just let grow and bear. Those are tbe 85 cent va rieties, aud even they must be a little betti r tbau tbey are iu some locali ties, because these same varieties have beeu bought iu tbe Willamette vuliev this season by tbe carload at 65 oentr a box, aud 1 know of sections where tney are ottered at 50 cents a box. Uood Kiver people sav least of all about their apples being better than tbey ar tn other sections. We feel so happy ovei our good fortuue, wt are bo full ot joy it makes some of ut almost speechless. But it is tbe press wmou is pieusea to snow ou ' the re sources of its owu state that la draw ing ita conclusions from tbe prices we are reoeiviug for our goods. There is uo man, woman, or child in Hood Kiver that is uot willing, yea, glad to tell the fruit growers ot this or any other state bow we achieved oui sue. oess, ao they can improve their own mcihoda. Every fruit grower in Hood Kiver vlley knowa and admits that a good Ui..m varieties of apples grow better iu other localities, but we ad mit it cheerfully, aud not with tbe leuwt thought of jealousy. It la to be hoped that every fruit-grower of thlc statn will make exhibits of their fancy apples at every -opportunity, one ol which ia at tbe annual meeting of tbe State lloitlouitural society held iu January. This so-called uotorlety that Hood River apples have enjoyed in tbe past has aocomplished two great things; it ia bringing thousands of dollais ol outside money, mostly from .Europe, to a oouiinuuity of industrious, in telligent fruit growers, and made tbe name ot the great statu of Oregon re sound h11 over tbe oivlized world, seo oud ouly to tbe Lewis aud Clark fair.
