WOOLPERT EXPECTS
LIMITED EXPORTS
. Although other northwestern apple
shippers have expressed themselves as
having given up hope of exporting ap
ples to England this season," A. E.
Woolpert, of White Salmon, northwest
ern purchasing agent for Dan Wuille &
Co., London fruit merchants, is of the
opinion that American apples will be
admitted to England as soon as the do
mestic supply of fruit is consumed.
"1 am advised," says Mr. Woolpert,
who is visiting the local office of Dan
Wuille & Co., "by -my home office-that
the apple crop of England this year,
while it ia of noor Quality.' furnishes
the people with the necessities of fruit
acids -needed in a welt regulated diet.
The home crop, however, will be all
used up by the latter part oi Decem
ber or at least by some time in Janu
ary. Then,- although the embargo will
not be lifted, England ia going to im
port American apples." 1 am advised
that the food administration fully real
ises the necessity oi fruits.1 bey must
have apples, and they can only be had
from America. -- ; - k
"Our - firm imnorted anDmximatelv
900 carloads of apples last year. We
expect to be permitted under license to
handle a percentage or mis numoer
this year.i From advices I receive I
believe the percentage may run as
high as 60 per cent We are making
preparations for the time when the
English domestic apple crop will have
been consumed and are storing ade
quate stocks of fruit at Atlantic ports.
Because of the Englishmen's prefer
ence fof the Newtown, my firm advises
me that the fruit of Hood River and
White Salmon, where this Variety pre
dominates, will be first to go abroad."

"The Argonauts" Monday and Tues

and the violence of the days of gold.
