LIMITATION ACT
PRECLUDED FARM
Even though the legisltature had
Been fit to grant an appropriation of
$5,000 for the maintenance of a branch
of the Oregon experiment station in
the valley, according to an opinion
rendered by District Attorney Derby
for the county court, the court, under
the recently adopted initiative six per
cnt tax limitation measure, would have
been precluded from making a pur
chase of tne site of a proposed exper
imental farm. 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. Twelve prominent
East Side orchardists have organized
an association, offering their orchard
tracts to experiment station reDresen-
tatives for demonstration work, for
the purpose of aiding in the solution of
Sroblems on which work is now being
one.

EXCHANGE RENEWS
N. W. F. E. 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

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.
