At a budget meeting of the court held the latter part 01 last December, it was proposed that the county apportion form this year's tax levy the sum of $1,000 as a part pay ment on the proposed farm, sites for which have been offered the court at figures from $2,500 to $7,600. How ever, to have acquired the tract the county court would have been pressed to the necessity of executing notes or pledging the credit of the county to the amount of the balance of above the tlUUU partial, payment. District Attorney Derby's opinion was to the effect that such a procedure would constitute a nullification of the intent of the tax limitation act Experimental work in Hood River county will not be discontinued. While no farm plot is available, the county has appropriated the sum of $2,000 an nually and this sum is supplemented by an appropriation of $3,000 from the legislature for maintenance of local experimental work.

CONTRACT The Fruit Growers' Exchange, or ganized in 1913 and which ha market ed its fruit continuously since through the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, has gain signed a contract forthe2com ing year with the Seattle central sales agency. "The action was taken with the unanimous consent of our 187 grower members," says Kenneth McKay. "Our cooperative organization has grown to its present capacity from an initial membership of 25. We have been well pleased with the service the Northwestern Exchange has given us, and now we are anticipating the affili ation of a number of other growers be fore the strawberry marketing season begins." Accompanied by J. O. Mark and W. RWarner.III, members of the Exchange directorate, Mr. McKay has just re turned from Seattle, where he attended am annual convention of the represent atives of district cooperative agencies of growers affiliated with the Seattle central selling concern. "I have never attended a meeting characterized by such lack of dissen sion," says the'local manager. "Thirty affiliated growers' agencies were rep resented at the convention, and I did not hear a man express dissatisfaction with the past year's business. Basing my predictions on the rally with which the 1916 apple marketing season is closing, on the firm business footing that the Northwestern Fruit Exchange has gained in tfie past few yeas and on the success of its advertising cam paign in the distribution of the Skoo kum brand of apples, the outlook for our concern the coming fall seems par ticularly flattering. "It was announced at our convention that an innovation in handling the Skookum advertising would be put into effect the coming fall. Hereto fore the Exchange has only branded its extra fancy grade of certain standard varieties as Skookums. Next season the fancy grade as well will bear this label. A tax of 10 cents per box has been levied against the kextra fancy product in past years to raise an ad vertising fund. Next season this as sessment, cut to five cents, will be levied against both the fancy and ex tra fancy. Last year the sum of ap proximately $75,000 was expended by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange and its affiliated growers agencies in ad vertising Northwestern apples." The Fruit Growers' Exchange has closed all of its pools for the 1916 crop except on such varieties as Newtowns and Spitzenburgs. Gross returns on the respective grades of the following varieties have been announced as fol lows: Anjou pears combination of extra fancy and fancy, 165s and larger, $2 per box: 175s and smaller. $1.75: fancv of 165s and larger, $1.75; 175s and smaller, si. 50; choice or 165s and larg er, $1.10; 175s and smaller, $1.

YORKER PROTESTS IMPORTED FRUIT The inroads in recent yean of mar keting agencies of Pacific coast state box apple sales agencies in the mar kets of the larger eastern cities has aroused to indignation New York apple growers according to E. VV. Birge. Western box apples have been selling in the very cities of the New York apple districts, to the exclusion of the home grown product. At the 62nd annual convention of the Western New York Horticultural Soci ety, held recently at Rochester, Chas. Wilson, of Albany, state commissioner of agriculture for the state of New York, expressed an indignation at such a condition. As an evidence that the New York growers will probably en deavor to meet the competition of the extra fancy Northwestern product by the adoption of different grading rules. Mr. Birge1 shows the following clip ping from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "Secretary Wilson said that vast quantities of apples were imported yearly into New York from the West in place of home products. " 'My indignation was aroused last winter when 1 walked along the streets of Rochester, for right here in the heart of the New York apple belt were apples, raised not in local orchards, but on the Pacific slope, from the or chards of Washington and Oregon, three thousand miles away. Every fruit stand seemed to be supplied with this fruit, while our own apples were unobtainable. " 'I immediately sent agents of the department to investigate. After a study of the situation they brought back reports that thousands of boxes of western apples are sold annually in Kocncstcr. Apparently thay are pre ferred to our own. There must be a reason for this. i " 'Among other conditions dis covered and reported was the informa tion that restaurants preferred three grades of apples. There are the first class hotels that demand a large, fine apple that can be baked and served with cream at 20 cents, the larger res-' taurants that demand an apple of me dium size that can be served at 10 cents, . and the smaller restaurants want the smaller apples that can be sold for five cents each. In other words, this part of the trade demands apples of uniform size. Color has something to do with the demand, es pecially tor the table fruit, and the general uniformity of the pack has a bearing. There is no reason that can not be controlled for the condition that exists. What is true, of the Rochester apple market is true also of those of Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, New York city and other places." CITY FOLKS GROAN AT NEW TAX BILLS First tax statements were recieived Saturday by the citizens of Hood Riv er, and the 40 per cent increase in the taxes on city property over last year has raised a chorus of complaints from city residents. The sharp increase in city taxes was occasioned by the fac tion on the part of the county court, headed by former County Judge Stan ton, in levying the funds for county road construction under the heading of a general fund and omitting the road fund. Through this procedure the city is made to pay a lion's share of the road money. Because of this method of collecting the road funds, the city's taxes are increased this year to the extent of $12,000. The total tx to be collected by Sheriff Johnson this year reaches the sum of $240,000. Earl fo. to Build Yakima Plant Z Wilmer Sieg, who will leave the Ap ple Growers Association on May 1, the date of the expiration of his contract to accept a like position with the Earl Fruit Co., confirms the report that fie big fruit concern, which has planned to invade the deciduous territories of the Northwest next season, will erect a large cold storage plant at Yakima the coming spring. "The Earl Fruit Co.," says Mr. Sieg, "is expecting a heavy tonnage of Bartlett pears from Yakima, and we realize that this class of fruit can be handled only where proper storage facilities are available at the produc ing ' Berry Carnival is Proposed Because of the inclement weather that often prevails over the valley at the season of apple blossoms, the snrr- gestion made by William Davidson, a carrett orchardist, that Hood Kiver citizens the coming year hold a formal strawberry carnival in celebration of the harvest of Clark Seedlings instead of the usual blossom fiesta, is meeting with an increasing approval. Mr. Davidson proposes that visitors to the valley during the carnival davs be given free of charge their fill of ripe strawberries. "We have cows a plenty in Hood River, too," says Mr. Davidson, "and there should be no scarcity of rich. golden Jersey cream to pour over those oer.ies.
