' Tbe ohair appointed E, li. Sbep ard, J. L. Caitor and U. K. Caatner aa a committee to draft a memorial to the memory of the late E. II. Sea re, foimer president of th socie ty, hi. A. rranz tben read tbe follow ing excellent and well prepared essay : There is probably no community where tbe Importance ot bigh class work in grading aud packing (rait hag been brought borne ao forcibly as in our own beautiful valley, By bringing it home loroibly is Meant in tbe matter of dollars and cents to the grower, a ntgn reputation in tbe world over ot our fiuit. aud tbe great satisfaction of having accomplished something that is way ahead ot any thing ever accomplished in thia Hue of work in any fruit glowing district. Aa tbe evolution or making vehicles baa been going on for years from tbe crude two wheeled oart to tbe splend id finished carriage of today, from tbe roughly ewed mocoasin to tbe comfortable, well made shoe of today, so has tbe packing of fruit progressed from dumping it iuto a barrel or box to the well packed, seleoted as to ool or and size box sent out from the packing bouses of Hood Kiver. The name of Hood River today represents tbe highest standaid of excellence In the packing of apples, strawbenea, cherries and other fruits. In order to accomplish the beat result in any line of.busiues, it is necessary first of all to study tbe wants and taste of tbe cousumer, of tbe man wbo nays yon bis cash for your goods. The aame kind of a product may have to be put up in a different style package for different markets; all those details must . be studied continuously in or der to get tbe best returns for your products. - The retailei is the man who gets In olose touch with the aotu il consumer, he is the man a horn it is neoeassry to interview in order to find out what size paokges sells the most readily, what syie paoK is toe most acorptanie, what size fruit sells first out of cer tain assortments, what influence 0 neat clean package baa in making a sale, whbt value a neat label on the outside of the box bas to attract tbe consumer. Of course, it is almost out of tbe question for tbe producer to get In close touch with all the retailers of bis goods for that reason be must rely mare or less ou toe wnoiesaie dealer or broker who distributes tbe goods. But after once knowing tbe lequire roents of tbe trade in a certain looalt ty, it is an easy matter to comply with those requirements and impiove them at every opportunity. No matter wboncuys your goods, whether it is north, south, east 01 west, the same f uudumeutal principles apply in all oases, fancy fruit, honest pack, and a neat, clean paokage. Tbe reputation that we are enjoying today has been built up on the above three essential qualtitioa of tbe liutt busi ness. But because we have attained that bigh reputation, we must not be oontent to rest on our laurels, or get lax in our methods, but we must forge ahead and try to improve at every op portunity, for tj be stationary means to go backward. The honesty and re liability ot our pack is so well estab lished that this season one buyer bought apples, the deal involving in round numbers $50,000, on our guar anty that we would deliver tbe fiuit according to the conditions of con tracts made, be paying for the apples as aoon as tbe fruit waa placed 00 board cars without seeing them, for two weeks afterwards, and some of the fruit that went into storage waa not iuspeoted tor three months after being loaded and paid for. - One dy a stranger walked into tbe omoe of tle Apple U rowers anon wanting to buy several cai loads of ap tiles. Atter being told what we bad to sell and what the prioea were, he suid, "Ship me all yu have." Being asked if be did not want to inspect tbe fiuit, several cars being In tbe wareboune at that time, be replied, "It is not necessary, I know what your fiuit is." . , , Anotber iruic uuyer mane me re mark, alter being told the price of a certain variety of apples, that be could buy the same variety at 35 cents less per box in the state aorosa tbe river (wblch, by tbe way, was a va riety 01 npplea we were selling at 85 cents per box1. Upon being atked wby be did not buy tbein when be oouid secuie them nt such a bargain, Pa replied. "1 oan make more money on your fruit at 85 cents than I could on tbo otber at ou cents, because J am sure of the grade aud pack,'1 and he bought all we had to spare. These conditions have been brought about after years of carefui study of tbe reuiiiiemeuts of tbe trade, by coo- ecientiously working up to an ideal ot perfection in packing and grading our fruit. Honesty ia one of tbe most eg sentinl points in packing fruit. No matter bow good a reputation an arti cie may enjoy, as soon as tbe trade finds worthless goods are put on tbe market on tbe strength of that repu tation, oonddence is lost at once, aud It would take years to repair tbe dam age done, for confidence onoe lost, tbe buyer will always bi skeptical, and afraid that it will happen again. Fancy fruit, fancy pack and a fancy package should always go togetber. Leave out either one and you depreci ate tbe value of tbe package t once. Let os consider for moment what Derfaot Daakana of frail nnnalata nt r lrst of all, tbe bail itself mast be perfect la shape as to Ita type; its si 10 niusi oa or mat men, clear, wax appearand that at onoe attracts tbe eye of tbe buyer; tbe color most be aa perfect aa possible ; t mast be saand. and tbe fruit most have keen picked at the proper time to Insure a certain keeping quality. Now as to tbe po, tne gieat stumbling block or. &u new rruit districts, it bag tak ea a several year to brlns our oaab to where it la today, but 1 wish to aa- are jou right bere that our pack Is yet tar irom perreoi. :. 10 see Just ten, 9fty. Or even a hundred boxes - micht give the impression that . there waa notblng left to Improve upon but by eeing a wooia reason a pact pass be fore my eye. I find that there ia at ill growera and packer in our midst that don't seen, t realize tho Importance of keeping our pack ap to tbe highest notoh. 1 don't want to convey the Idea that I think those thinga are aone mancionaiy, but It la a fact that a great many of our sroweis are new in the business, tbey don't know tbe importance of keeping up our stand ard, and tho hard work It took to Driog u.wnere it ia fniay. And even some of our older growera may have become aomawbat Uokiog to vigilance in grading ineir iron, by reason ot year of oontmued success In the bus iness. We must all realize that w are one great family, and what hurt one will eventually hurt all, and what hurts all will ooine back to tho door ot tba Individual. The different pack in use now make it poaaible to put up an even pack of all the different sized applea, and great care aboald be taken that 128 aize applea are not found in a box supposed to contain apple of tbe 88 plze, and rioe versa. Tbe grower aan be of great aaalstanoa ot tbe packers in sorting tbe tint' before placing it on tbe packing table.- The making or breaking of th reputation of our paok lies to a great extent in the banda of oar packets. Ibey are the ones that aotually do the work and should know how to do it welL Tbey should be boueat to tbe work, and oaretul in their methods. They should realize that -our reputation, our future, is wrapped up in every apple they plaoe to a box. Ihey should never forget that there la more at stake In packing a box of apple than just the five cent that is in it for tbem. In regard to grading as to quality, it la a well proven faot that Just one poor apple baa many a time spoiled tbe aale of an entire box, and perhaps tbe buyer ha judged an .entire oar load by the appearance of that one box. The loss sustained In inch a case may amount to perbapa only 10 oeuie per oox, out suon losses are not necessary at all, beoauae no matter bow many applea have to be ouiled out In order to make them fanoy, tbe second are always salable at a fair figure, or ean be taken to the elder mill; but even bad they tdf be thrown away,-the price of the fanoy fruit will inorease enougb to offset tbe'dlrler enoe In price. The importance of a neat, olesn paokage, decorated with a tasty label, baa perbapa in no inatanoe been dem- ouerated more clearly than by the caiload of Jomioe pears shipped to New rora two yean ago by Mr. u. 11. Lewi, of Medford. " Those peer are of fine eating quality, and sold tor about 18 per box, it I remember right. But would they have sold for that price had tbey been packed any old wayf, k No; never I 1 They were packed in clean, well finished, half boxes the box had a oeat laberon it ; tbe fruit was wrapped 10 fancy paper; tbe bcx wa lined with decorated pa per ; the fruit bad layer paper between tbe layeis; oa tbe top layer was placed a fanoy ' mat. Xbe were tbo things that foroed tbe price of those peara to where it never bad been before. When- tbe consumer starts out to purchase fruit, tbe box s with a neat label oatobe hi eye first, and if upon In ipeoting the fruit it oonies up to bia -requirements, be purchases at once; while the aame quality of fruit displayed in an ' unattractive, dirty box right by it tide will be unnotlo ed. It is human nature, and wo must cater to it, if we want tot reap 1 tbe benefit from it. .

Mr. Franc wa tben asked conoern ing tbe Imperfections existing in pre paring oar trait for market and re plied that there were too many elzee of apple in tbe box, t bat tbe paok waa not ot sufficient uniformity, and that tbl oonditlon wa largely due to tbe faot that tbe growera did not as sort for size, and that too many sizes were placed on the packing table at tbe aame time, that all Imperfect ap plea should be removed before under taking to pack.
