TELEGRAM MAN ON THE OREGON APPLE Jobo W. Kelley, a Telegfani mau outdid biniselu iu rei:urtius tiie an. pie exbihitlou at the meeting of the State Horticultural i oulety tie makes interesting reading ot what is usually pretty dry subject. Mr. Kelioy says: It is a simple matter to recognize delegates to the animal n;eeting of the Oregon Htate Horticultural society. Tbe oioutb cf every delicate vtaters. Xbe moment a delegate enUra Wood men ball, UuventU ttieet, near Alder, be is greeted by tbiit in et-eribahle perfume exbuled only by tbe gieat Oregon apple, and compared with which tbe perfumes of Arahy ate like onto tbe odors' of a Chiuese fiew Year celebration. Mo Maubattau nor Mi.rtiui can place so keen an edgejon tbe appetite as the scent of the boxed fruit on dis play. Involuntarily tbe delegates munch air and an empty seutmtion manifests itself, 1 be, most obronio dyspetio would feel tbe pangs of star ration once be entered the Woodmen ball. But for tbe exercise of super human self restraint, tbe spirit of which martyrs tau made, it would be necessaiy to call in a f bitocu of police to protect the fruit from a bungary crowd, and then, who would protect tbe apples from the bluecoats? Table after table is weighed with boxes and plates of apples from Southern Oregon, the Willamette and idood Kiver. No similur congress of apples bas ever been asembled in tbe state, not even during t ho Lewis and Clark exposition. These apples are pize winners. There are approximate ly 25,UO0 in tbe display and not one is tenanted by a worm or marred by San Jose scale. They repreweut the high es stage of apple culture in tbe world. Eacb apple is perfect. Each would bring in tbe opeu market an average ot a dime, an the display could not be bought as it t-tauds much cheaper tbau &2,0i)0. These apples would make enough cider to give every man, worn an and child in Portland a substantial drink. The display would make enough apple pios (o adorn every ta ble in tbe city, and still have some left over for tbe suburbs and nearby points. No such fate is in store for tbe apples, however, tor they are too valuable. Apples with soales, worms and other imperfections are good enough tor cider, and inferior fioit will do foi pies. When you pay 3 a box for apples, you eat 'cm not cook or crush them. These displayed apples are tbe pride ot Oregon and they are caityiug Ore gon's name und fame to the principal marts of trade, drown and sprayed in the Heaver state, tbey travel by rail to the most expensive hotels of New York, to commaud anything, from "two-bits" up from tbe epicures, or they cross tbe Atluutio ocean to grace tbe tables of King Edward, or anyone else in Windsor or London, wbo can afford to pay tbe price. "Avaut t, the repast I" exclaims His Majesty, "Varlet, set befuie mo an Oregon Spitzunbetg from tamed Hood Kiver or Willatnf-tte valley,-and peel me a cornice pear from the orohards of tbe Rogue Kiver." And Oregon apple aie swell eating, even for royalty. It makes even au auarobist feel Ike a king to sink bis ivories into one. These apples on exhibition are the post graduates of lust season's crop. Tbey are especially relecteri. One box represents ibe choice fruit from two average boxes. They have been sorted and resorted until tbe finest of tbe uns"ld harvest is spread before the eyes to tempt tbe spectator to commit potty larceqoy. And then there is tbe sizes 1 Whoppers, iu every instance, except tbe Lady apples. Thousands of the apples have a girth of Alderuianio pro portions. Thirteen, fourteen and fifteen in ches iu circumference are quite con.--nion, aud it you can't believe it iako a tape measure aud wrestle with one. As for weight, they frequently run over a pound and a quarter. Eigh teen and twenty ounce s ecimens aie pleutitul. Weigb 'em for yourseir. A box o? apples woigbs about 50 pounds. Some boxes have but three layers, witb 14 or 15 apples in a layer, making the average weight considera bly more than a pound eacb, 'Ihese big apples, however, are not ovei growo, nor abuormal. Tbe immense size does not depreciate their quality. They have quality commensurate with tbe quantity. Ono applu will do for three or lour people; so, after all, economical in the long run. Even if a reward of $100 was offered to any. one capable of consuming two of these apples the reward would never have to be paid, because one apple is a meal iu itself. Oregon's commercial apples are tbe Spitzeuborg and the Newtown. These bring the highest market rate. Any kind of apple ran be grown in tbe state, and tuere are several dozen var ieties on exhibition at Woodmen ball to attest tbe proof of tho assertion, hut tbe g owers 'devote their time principally to tbe fruit which makes them the most money for tbe same amount of space, time and expense. No apple is sold out of Hood Kiver for less tbau $1 a box, aud not many at that price, except tbe Ken Davis, ' which goes .at 85 cents. The prices range iu tbe lituihoibood of S'2 15 and $X25, freight on boatd. Tbeee, like tbe rest of tho Oret;ou ppple and peui crop, are shipped to Chicago, New York aud London. Hood Kiver exhibitors bate 125 boxes of fruit in tbe hall, which cou'd not be pur chased for 8500. Parenthetically it may be mentioned that there are a few boxes of Cornice pears from tbe Rogue River district which sold in New York a few months ago at $1, the highest pi ice ever paid for pears. They netted their grower 82,5a). Ap pies ate on exhibition which today can command a ready sale In open market in New York at SI 50 and $5 a box. Ever body t'an't Grow Apples. Editor Glacier: Now that the Ore gon State Horticultural society, held at Portand, has bad its annnual meet ing aud passed into history, a timely oi d might not be out of order. It may have been supposed by many of the readers of some of our great newspapers from tbe amount of print ers ink u-ed, that there would have liaan an immnnKA BIHllfi exhibit from all parts of this stale; that the rivaliy and competition would have been sharp and interesting. It now appears that if Hood Kiver bad not brought forward ber exhibit tbe apple display would have been a complete iarco, and yet the remark is often published rlitfornnt Inrnlities of this State. "we can raise just as good apples as tbey can in Hood River." While this remark Is quite questionable iu many respects, an opportunity has been giv .t riiiioiont rimoa tn m tu e forward and show the goods. Various excuses are made, but 1 guess when tbe test is to be made they fear that they will be weighed in the balances ana iouuq wanting This, perhaps, ia about at it should be. Hood Kiver piodaoet two commercial crops, applet and strawberries. 1 bese crops and prices growers of them have been enabled to get aiten considerable work and a lim ited amount ot intelligence bas snrHoed to keep tbe inhabitants pros fering. We are confronted with the Idea that a large part of tbe eartb ia going to engage in tbe apple business. Of course this kind ot talk makes us ratber weak in the knee tor fear oar living may suddenly be cut abort these periodical spells tbat we bear of, tbe oouuty inspector going fortb to have tbe old mossy orchards spray ed, pruned, dug op and burned, will continue. Afer tbis is aoooomphsbed then tbe orchards will sorely bf tine aud thrifty, tbe fruit nice aud clean and tbe price very remunerative. The thought that 1 want to empha size is that soran paits or localities of tbis eartb are better adapted for tbe growing ofoertain crops than others, ibis matter is pretty generally known and folluwed quite etxenisvely. There are localities where pecple think tbey can raise and grow almost everything and such is tbe faot. The mistake that is often made in such localities ia that men undertake too many different kinds of tusineea and when labcr Jis scarce something Is apt to be neglected, tbat Is 'what usually hap pens to the apple orchard. Conse quently if people oannot give tbe ap plo orchard considerable oaie and at tention it would be better for the business and better for tbe people to follow some other line of business. J.
