Fruit Growers
BY-
Northwestern Fruit Exchange
No. 13 Advertising Our
Apples--' 4SkooRum"
TO FRUIT GROWERS:
Many and many a time I have heard
and you too have heard criticisms
coming from eastern people to this
effect: "Oh, yes, you people in the
Northwest can grow apples that are
good to LOOK at but not to eat."
Did you ever stop to analyze the WHY
of this criticism? We have, and I am
convinced that it arises from the fact
that consumers are sold such apples as
Gano, Arkansas Black or Ben Davis,
in November, at which time we in the
Northwest will admit that the apples
MAY be "good to look at" but cer
tainly "not good to eat." Now, our
analysis should not stop here. If it
does, it will probably result in con
demning the retailers who sell to con
sumers unfit varieties. Let's carry our
analysis to its conclusion and inquire
"Why does the retailer sell the wrong
varieties at the'wrong time, and'whose
fault is it that he does so?" In my
judgment the answer is that the re
tailer doesn't know any better Just
remember, if you please, that a sur
prising percentage of all the fruit that
is retailed in this country, especially
in the larger cities, is sold by foreign
ers: Greeks, Italians, Russian Jews
and others. Most of these vendors are
ignorant ; many of them speak English
very poorly if at all. Practically all
of them are EAGER TO LEARN, but
nobody bas taken the time or trouble
to teach them. Very few of these men
know one variety of apple from an
other, though they are excellent judges
of COLOR and APPEARANCE, and
their experience has taught them that
the average consumer knows even less
than he does about QUALITY, CHAR
ACTER or SEASON ABILITY of the
different varieties. So, he continues
to buy on appearance, and the consum
er does likewise, with the result that
the business of the apple growers of
the Northwest is injured through cur
tailment of consumption due primarily
to IGNORANCE. This ignorance is
by no means confined to the foreign
elements in the trade; it is appalling
to what extent it prevails amongst
every branch of the trade ; even
amongst the jobbers. Only a very few
of the leading jobbers have any real
understanding ot varieties, their treat
ment in storage, which should be ship
ped under refrigeration invariably and
which may be shipped under ventila
tion, which are useful as dessert fruit,
which are best for baking, for pies,
for sauce, etc. So, right down the
line from iobber to consumer, and
most of all, with the consumer the
most important of all factors there is
almost complete IGNORANCE on the
subject of apples. How can we expect
discriminating intelligence to be dis
played under such circumstances? And
now, my friends, WHOSE FAULT IS
IT THAT THIS IGNORANCE PRE
VAILS? Just face that question im
partially, will you. Whose business is
it to educate the trade and the con
sumer as to the merits of -our mer
chandise? Why, there can be only one
answer : it is the business of the
PRODUCERS of the merchandise, and
nobody's else. Do you, perhaps, use
IVORY SOAP in your home? Do you
use it sometimes for cleansing laces
and other delicate fabrics and for
other special purposes? WHY? Be
cause the retail grocer told you? Or
because the manufacturers, through
their advertising, have TAUGHT you
the uses of their article? Just stop
and think how many articles you use
j in your homes and on the ranches that
you are using intelligently because the
MANUFACTURERS have themselves
educated you to use them. This edu
cation of yourself by the manufactur
er's has cost them money, and a great
deal of it, but every manufacturer rec
ognizes the absolute necessity of
spending money for this purpose. It
is'nt the retailer's business to educate
the consumer; it isn't the jobber's
business to educate the retailer. It is
their business to pass on the merchan
dise from the PRODUCER to the
CONSUMER.
If then, you will admit that it is the
business of PRODUCERS to educate
the trade and the public concerning the
merits and uses of their products, you
will have gotten the viewpoint that
will enable you to proceed to the ques
tion of ways and means. Manifestly,
apple growers throughout the country
have not Deen equal to their opportuni
ties. In the past few years the con
sumption of bananas has grown from
almost nothing to 125,000 carloads an
nually in this country alone ; the con
sumption of oranges exceeds 75,000 car
loads. The consumer who eats for
breakfast a banana, or an orange,
doesn't as a rule, eat an apple too. So
then, the battle is on for the coveted
prize the consumer's appetite. While
apple growers have been resting on
their oars and following lines of least
resistance, banana importers have built
up a great, aggressive organization,
and captured a large share of the pub
lic appetite ; orange producers both in
California and Florida have spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in wooing
the public favor. It is high time that
apple growers were taking steps to ex
ploit the merits and many uses of the
King of Fruits. There is little doubt
that nearly everybody connected with
the industry in the Northwest, more or
less clearly recognizes these princi
ples, and for several years there has
been a growing demand : "Our apples
should be advertised."
Meanwhile, ;the EXCHANGE, which
believes that an ounce of DOING is
worth a pound of TALKING, has, for
FOUR YEARS been steadily, though
CONSERVATIVELY and CAUTIOUS
LY, exploring the advertising field,
testing and experimenting, correcting
here, improving there, and all the time
MAKING THE WORK PAY FOR IT
SELF AS IT WENT ALONG. And
not only pay for itself, but pay a
premium in addition.
In my next article I am going to tell
you how the SKOOKUM plan origin
ated, and something of its results.
Faithfully yours,
W. F. GWIN.

COL TUCKER WRITES
OF MANILA TRIP
The letter following was written the
editor of the Glacier by CoL W. F.
T 1. - FT C A MiMt wki .tali
Mrs. Tucker left El Corregidor, their
Upper Valley home, on a trip to Ma
nila, where CoL Tucker was formerly
stationed as paymaster of the Islands
Department oi me unitea states
Armv.
If word is to be mailed, 'tis time for
me to begin, in order to be sure of the
first mail from Honolulu I recall that
I said from somewhere during our
travel, I would write you letter. It
may be because of our rather unusual
trip that this prove to be of interest.
We had a very pleasant trip from
Portland to San Francisco via Flavel
and the big steamer Northern Pacific.a
very luxurious ship. For those who
like the sea as we do this is a very good
route. We had ten days in San Fran
cisco, very pleasant in meeting with old
friends, those in service and civil life.
Sailed on December 5 at noon. With
the exception of 17 days, have been
aboard this transport, now our 42d day
at sea. Am really sorry to realize the
end of the trip is a matter of say 12 or
13 days more at sea. we had in the
eight days en route to Honolulu, very
rough weather ; for several days only
the best of sailors were in evidence.
Very fortunately I was ready for meals
at all times a good test On board
were many officers, their lamiiies and
some civil officers bound for Oriental
stations. Several officers I had not met
in 10 to 20 years ; we had gone through
our active service in the meantime.
Needless to say there was much to talk
over.
December 13 we arrived off harbor at
Honolulu and were at the dock by 8.30
p. m. We had only the 14th and until
noon the 15th to see the sights and to
meet as many friends as possible in
this short time. In the ten years since
my last visit there, Honolulu has more
than kept up with the rapid growth
and civic progress of the Orient, al
ways indicative of prosperity. The
auto has done wonders. Roads very
Eerfect. Now the tourist can, in a
rief time, see so much that is of in
terest, that he has the desire for a
longer visit. In fact, when we arrive
in Honolulu on the 4th, if our mail
tells us all is well at home, we shall try
to arrange for a month there, or until
the transport due March 4 sails for San
Francisco.
Our route to Guam (lat. 14 deg. N)
usually takes 14 days. We arrived at
the Island during the night of the 12th
day, having been helpled along by a
strong wind from the east. Our way
was along the 20th degree of latitude
on the edge of the tropical waters.
The temperature of air and water
taken each four hours would be very
nearly equal ; the day 80 degrees, at
night just right to sit out on deck.
Ladies in their pretty gowns, men in
white cotton or duck, the nights in
tropical waters are very enjoyable.
When one retires the windows and
cabin doors are left open. Air is pure
and delightful.
During this part of the trip new
faces began to appear fn deck to re
ceive hearty greetings on their arrival
on board (Poor People all this time
were ill in their cabins.) We could get
up a dance when the sea was quiet
enough ; sometimes when it was not,
much to the joy of the young folks
who had a laugh at the confusion that
would come with a big wave. If one
can be content with fine rest, good
people, cards, books, no worry and
good feed, nothing to do,' ho duties of
any kind, then a long voyage by sea is
commended; for those who are poor
sailors, 1 would say "No" unless there
is something to compensate for dis
comfort at the end of the voyage.
Guam is an island we took in 1898.
Now its best known use is for a cable
station ; one line going to Manila, the
other to Japan, both working to the
east on one cable. A small harbor has
been cut out of the coral shell and
sand so one can come within two miles
of the landing; small boats plying
through the reefs that come to the
surface all around. From the landing
to the naval station some five miles we
used to go in carts. Now 30 or more
(not autoes) but something they call
"Fords" with natives at the wheel,
took us very quickly over good roads,
through a jungle of tropical growth, a
very interesting drive.
Here Mrs. Tucker and I found friends
of many years ago. Surgeon and Mrs.
Peck, of the navy. At one o'clock we
were entertained by the Governor Gen
eral, Captain Smith, who also com
mands the naval station. I had known
him and Mrs. Smith years ago. Our
eight hours ashore were very happily
and profitably spent.
At 4 p. m. the 27th of December we
were on our way to Manila. Of course
our Christmas was passed at sea. We
had aboard some 400 men who were en
route to their first stations. The good
people aboard arranged with Santa
Glaus to come in his submarine' and
bring cheer from the realm of those
good things we all have loved. Santa,
true to his promise, arrived aboard af
ter our dinner on the 24th, saying he
had to come early because of so many
other visits to make. He brought to
each child, soldier and sailor, at least
some candy or toy, and for the older
ones a happy chat in verse.
This has been my first voyage at sea
when the wireless kept us in touch
with land and the other ships. So one
does not feel that he is out of touch
with his people. We could be reached
any day. Any trouble to our ship
would be known in a brief time. One
of the greatest of the many wonders
of the electrical age. Our friends at
Guam finding we were aboard, sent a
radiogram to come right to them. The
Governor General in same way invited
some 30 of us to a formal luncheon,
after which a naval band started the
informal dance. My, how sweet the
ladies looked in their tropical dresses
We danced until 3 p. m., then hurried
to catch the launch for the transport.
Our voyage from Guam to Manila was
pleasant. We arrived there ahead of
time, being only five days en route.
Manila has been so wonderfully im
proved broad streets, a new and
beautiful hotel and splendid auto ser
vice. We found many old time friends
there and our days were filled with
visits and sight seeing. I made a for
mal visit to the Governor General, Mr.
Harrison, and found him interesting
and cordial. On January 10th, I was
invited to attend a formal dinner at
the Palace, given in honor of Admiral
Wnterhalter, who had just arrived in
Manila Bay in command of the Asiatic
fleet. The evening was a delightful
one for me, as I met many of the dis
tinguished officers of the army and
navy, as well as many civil officials.
We enioyed seeing Ft. Wm. McKinley,
and the new Army and Navy club.
The stay was all too brief, and it was
with real sorrow that we bade fare
well to Manila and old time friends.
The Sheridar left the wharf amid
showers of flowers, the band playing
and the friends crowding the dock,
waving their "bon voyage
We arrived at Nagasaki, Japan, af
ter a five-day trip. All were lined up
for a long and careful inspection by
Japanese doctors, for Japan has suf
fered recently from cholera brought
from some Asiatic . port. We were
pronounced O. K. and went ashore.
The stores are ever attractive there
and we found the rickshaw riding
quaint and good as ever. Nagasaki has
gone down during the last 10 years :
the old and comfortable Nagasaki hotel
is closed, the stores complain of hard
times and the people seem poor. Light
snow had fallen on the heights and
wintry chill hung over all.
We are now only three days from
Honolulu, and again the charm of th
tropics pervades the air. Some excite
ment prevails this a. m. ; a real Ger
man stowaway has been found aboard,
and 1 will tell you of this later.
Saturday a. m., February 3, we
passed Bird Island at 7.30 this a. m.,
the first of the group to see. We are
now in mild weather, clear sky, un
der very perfect conditions. We should
arrive off the harbor of Honolulu very
early in the morning. Word has come
by wireless that 55 military passengers
come aboard at Honolulu. As I am
not traveling under orders our space is
needed. We will therefore stay for
the next transport, or a month. Mrs.
Tucker joins in kind remembrance to
friends.
The stowaway was evidently a Ger
man trying to get towards home. A
hard road to travel just now.
GRANGE AND CLUB
COMMITTEE DISAGREES
The unanimity of action that has
characterized the deliberation of
the joint legislative committee of the
Hood River Commercial club and the
Pomona Grange during the past sev
eral weeks, when bills before the leg
islature were under discussion, was
brought to an end Thursday by the
bill, which provides a bond issue of
$6,000,000 for road construction, the
bonds to be refunded by a special tax
on automobiles.
The Commercial Club committee for
warded endorsements of the proposed
measure, while the Grange committee
adopted a resolution, urging that the
legislature refer the bill to the people.
Victor McCone, Portland socialist,
addressed the Grangers of Hood River
county assembled at the regular Po
mona meeting at Pine Grove Wednes
day, creating a hostility against the
proposed road bond issue. Mr. Mc
Cone asserted that the bill had been
drawn at the instance of attorneys for
organized road contracting interests.
He made reference to California's
huge bond of $33,000,000 for the con
struction of roads and implied by his
remarks that road contractors had car
ried out of the neighboring state $28.-
000,000 of this sum. Although R. E.
iscott, secretary of the Commercial
club, who is also a granger, challenged
mis statement, tne resolution or the
rural body, asking for the referendum
on the bill, was adopted following Mr.
Mcune s address.
Except for a talk by Rev. E. C.
Newham, pastor of the Methodist
church of Pine Grove, the road
bond issue formed the sole torjic of
discussion at the Commercial club's
last 'legislative luncheon," held at
the Hotel Oregon. Red hot debates
took place between the representatives
of the grange and the club.
ihe fine Urove minister appeared
before the legislative committee to
raise his voice against war and to ask
the committeemen to act in such wise
as might prevent a spread of the con
tagion of the war feeling. Rev. Mr.
Newham denounced the trend toward
universal training for America's young
men, declaring that such a law would
reduce to ineffectiveness the conscien
tious views of many against participa
tion in such service. He declared that
the regulations in force at the Oregon
Agricultural College, making compul
sory military drill on all students in
attendance at the institution was
unjust.
Severe Cold Quickly Cured
"On December first 1 had a very se
vere cold or attack of the grip as it may
he, and waB nearly down sick in bed,"
writes O. J. Metesilf, Weatherby, Mo.
"I b-iuglit two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and it was only a few
days until I was completely restored to
health. 1 hrmly believe that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is one of the best
medicines and will know what to do
when I have anothei cold." Obtainable
everywhere.
Crause Heads Growers' Committee
Members of the Dee and Parkdale
granges have appointed a joint com
mittee ,oi rruit growers, whose duty it
will be to settle possible differences
that may arise between growers and
the fruit sales organizations with
which they are affiliated. The com
mittee is composed of the following:
H. C. Crause, chairman, and H. H.
Hann, of Parkdale, and J. R. Edgar,
F. L. Park and W. F. Shannon, of
Dee.
"Too often," says Mr. Crause, who
was in the city Friday, "growers are
prone to withdraw irom their cooper
ative organizations and thus create
confusion before they know what their
real grievances are. We hope to end
such practice."
The Best Recommendation
The strongest recommendation any
article may receive is a favorable word
from the user. It is the recommenda
tions of those who have used it that
makes Chamberlain's Cough Remedy eo
popular. Aire. Amanaua uiernart,
Wavnesneld, Utiio, writes: "Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has been used in
my family on and on for twen'v years
and it has never failed to euro a cold or
congh". Obtainable everywhere.
