Trans-Atlantic t-hippintr eon cerns hamilinu apples, he stated, have issued instructions that no hnxed ap ples will lie received for export unless the boxes are wired or roped. "While il will cost a few cents per box," said Mr. Wuille, "it will pay well to loimw' tnese insiruciioiis anii iniike the packages secure. The stand ard Northwestern a ple box, withont wirinir or roping, is not suitable for export. We have had M per i'ent darnatie from broken boxes and waste i apples. This will run I0 loss to the bio boxes. The transportation com -panics, while thev do not always pay, wish to shut oil' the annoyance of claims from such a source. "While in Portland Mr. Woolpert, J.

Mr. Wuille praised Hood Kiver p-rowers for their hit; ll standard of Kiade, and urged that the standard In maintained. The Knelish consumer, he declared, had come to think lloml River antiles a bit better than those of any other place on the nlobe.

Mr. Wuille expects LM-eat expansion m overseas tiuil sales as the country emerees from wartime conditions. "We have adopted vour aclaire, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away he said, and when 1 recall that we have 7.00(1.000 mouths to feed in I .on don alone, you will see that your entire crop here m Hood Kiver would not k far toward lillii tf our demand if all i the people were made to take coni zance of that advice.
