M in ton in hia annual report Monday afternoon, "must be given the blame for the lack of preparation for the 31a t annual meet ing of the Oregon State Horticultural Society. 1 have been 10 busy that I could not give the matter my closest attention, and my associate have been too busy to reply promptly to my let ters. And I know, after walking your streets and teeing the applea piled in vacant business houses that you of Hood River will understand." The opening session, scheduled for Monday morning, was postponed, Mr. Minton and A. P. Bateham having been the only out of town men present. While Pres. R. C. Washburn, of Cen tral Point, arrived for Tuesday's ses sions, be was absent Monday, and J. L. Carter occupied the chair. Tbe horticulturists were welcpmed by Mayor Durable, who, while be char acterised himself as a fountain pen farmer, lauded the society for the work it had done in lifting the business of farming to a higher plane. M"I hire my work done," said Dr. Dumble, who has developed two ex tensive tracts here, "and wield my pen to pay the bills, but 1 realize the great good your organisation has done in standardising and making more per fect the pack of fruit." For the most part the first afternoon meeting touched on the technical side of orcharding. Talks on spraying were given by Leroy Childs, of the experi ment station, and F. A. Frazier, a spray manufactureer of Seattle. Only a hint was given of tbe serious car shortage problem. In his annual report Secretary Minton suggested as a possible prevention of future such trouble that the transportation com pany be forced by law to pay the ship per a demurrage charge for all days of delay in getting rolling stock after it bad been ordered lor products. Mr. Minton also urged that steps be taken to secure legislative appropriation to be used in paying expenses of the society. 1 H. M. Williamson, of Portland, read a memorial tribute to the late Dr. J. R. Cardwell, one of the founders of the society, and a short address, recal ling the work of Dr. Cardwell was given by E. L. Smith. A memorial paper for the late Frank W. Powers, former secretary of the society, pre pared by Homer C. Atwell, was read by Secretary Minton. (J. U. Brown, horticulturist of the lo cal experiment station, delivered an address on tbe influences of commercial fertilisers in orcharding. The following out of town fruit men registered at the society headquarters Monday: O. D. Minton and H. M. Williamson, of Portland; Dr. C. H. Bailey, of Roseburg; Dr. C. A. Ma- crum and A. P. Bateham, of Mosier; J. N. Pomeroy, of Scappoose; A. B. Gardner, of Corvallis; Geo. R. Castner, of Pendicton, B. C. ; E. E. Mills, S. C. Graham and Sidney H. Boddinghouse, of White Salmon; B. Lees, of Beaver- ton: F. A. Frazier, of Seattle: C. F. Galligan, of Dutur; J. E. Slade, of Husum; A. II. Harrison, of Louisville, Ky. ; Clement West and Edw. L. Bach- man, of Dee. The thirty-second annual meeting or the State Horticultural Society will be held in Salem next year, and Robert Paulus, manager of the Salem Fruit Union, was named as next year a pres ident. Other officers elected were: Dr. H. Bailey, of Rdseburg, vice presi dent, succeeding V. M. Johnson, of Corvallis, and C. D. Minton, of Port- snd. reelected secretary. A. P. Bate ham was reelected to the board of trus tees. Other trustees are Judge Chas. McNary, of Salem, and Albert Brown ell. While the horticultural convention was slow in getting started, but few members having shown up for attend ance Monday, Tuesday's sessions have created more than usual interest, and the Commercial Club quarters have been crowded, more than 100 local orch ardists having been in attendance. Following a talk on pruning this alter noon by A. B. Gardiner, of the OreRon Agricultural College, discussions on tbe more absorbing topics of the day, grad ing rules and marketing, were launched in addresses delivered by the following: E. H. Shepard, Wilmer Sieg and C. A. Malboeuf, the latter general manager of the Western Oregon Fruit Dietirb utors. Dealing with the subject. "What Shall We Pack in Apples," Mr. Shep ard made the declaration that the eost of growing a box of apples was 30 cents and that another 90 cents was required in the expenditure of packing and mar keting. Unless growers can get this price for a box of a certain variety, he said, it should De eliminated, air. Shepard further declared tnat growers, unless they were selling tneir cuu ap pies product for at least 69 cents per box in the open market, packed, they would find it more profitable to dispose of it to by-products plants at the rate of $6 per ton. Touching on tbe subject or a standard system of grading rulea for the four northwestern apple states uregon, Washington. Idaho and Montana Mr. Sbeparo said that such plana were im possible of practical solution. "II such a system is adopted," said Mr. Shepard. "it will soon be found that it will be necessary to aet it aside, aa wss the case in Washington last year. Each district roust make its own grading rulea. ur course, we snouia have some standardized law that will prohibit the shipment of-pples that earry diseases. Mr. Shepard further suggested that a saving in tbe preparation of apples for market would be effected if instead of the three sradee extra fancy, fancy and C arade as now is generally in cluded in norbtweatern grading rules. but two sradea were used. He sug eested that the extra fancy grade should consists of as perfect apples as possible, and that the beat of the C grade fruit be packed with the fancy, the combination to be called "a stand ard arade." Mr. Shepard would have the worst of tbe C grade product dis posed of to bv-Droducta plants. Mr, Sieif. while he agreed with Mr, Shepard in tbe main as to tbe former's refussl to accent a standardised system for the Northwest, he declared that grower! would never get away from the C grade apple. "The instant that you put a C grade apple in the fancy pack, be declared. "you are going to lower tbe entire. box of apples to the third grade. "0n& am Mr. Sieg went even further than Mr. Shepard, however, in decrying th pro posed four state standard grading rules. "We must await each season and aee just what our erop is going to turn out, and then make rulea to con form to the erop. Otherwise we are not going to live up to our rulea." Mr. Sieg threw the first stsrtlers into tbe sessions of the eonvention, when he characterised the effort of the Office of Markets of the United States De partment of Agriculture to aid fruit growers by supervising tbe orgamza tion of the rrult Urowrs' Agency at Spokane aa failure. He referred to te Growers' Agency aa a "deutral neuter." "Gentlemen," he modified his re marks, "1 do not desire to be mean. Hut the government has done us no good because of tbe fact that it ; has failed to include in its organization some 60 per cent of the shippers and growers ol tbe northwest, and this 60 per cent is tearing down all that the Growers' Agenoy is trying to build np. . i i i iou cannui cava goon amesmansnip without good organization. Tbe indi vidual districts themselves must get together, and then work in cooperation through some method of centralization." Mr. Sieg declared that the North western fruit industry 'sworst enemy was the grower who refused to organ- ze. The moat malicious and meanest man 1 have ever run across. "the said, is the man who perhaps has been ac customed to tbe softness and eaBy things of life, but who has eome to the appto district and has made a failure. You will And him against everything." During bis address. Mr. Sieg stated that despite talk of the stringent car shortage, a total of 11,800 carloads of apples had already been shipped (this season, more than had been shipped out during the entire marketing season of last year. Mr. Malboeuf, whose subject was. 'Has High Apple Grading Paid During 1916," made the emphatic assertion that it bad. "To lower grading." he said, "would mean a step backward. We find that Cashmere and Mosier fruit sties agencies have been building for years on the maintenance of stringent grading rules, ihey have been suc cessful. Do we find that they want to change?" Mr. Malboeuf paid a tribute to the apple men of the White Salmon com munity. He declared that they would emerge next season as one of the strong fruit districts of the northwest. This year." said Mr. Malboeuf, 'the growers of White Salmon have welcomed the closest inspection. But next year they are going to further standardize their grade of apples by building at central points four com munity packing houses." Business gave way to sentiment at the horticultural sessions Tueedsy,when A. uuarrenburg, a walnut grower of Vancouver, presented the organiza tion with a gavel made from the oldest apple tree in the Northwest. Mr. Qaur renburg in his presentation speech told the story of the old tree, now 90 years old. Still alive and bearing apples at Vancouver barracks, it was planted by one of the men of Capt. John Mc Laughlin, governor for the Hudson Bay Co. The sessions of the Horticultural So ciety came to a close yesterday. Ad dresses were made on the last day by the following: B.S.Johnson, A. H. Harris, Robert Paulus, J. K. Magness, A. C. Allen. J. T. Holt and A. B. I Cordley.
