MARKETING TALKS
Talk No. I. The Label on the Box.
The first Northwest box apples startled the Eastern
markets. Quality, rade and pack did the tric k.
Labels were not used at first. They are Indispen
sable now. For some time the mere name ol the
district was the best advertiser for the apples. To
day the label is.
The perfected rade and pack was rigidly followed
for a lon period. There are all sorts and conditions
of rade and pack now. All sorts of labels. 1 he la
bels have all sorts of reputation. As Kipling wrote:
"There's sad decline in son of man since Adam .
of earth."
There's been some decline Moo in the apple packs
since the industry was In its infancy. Ihe best
known labels top the market today. Always did,
always will. What the trade expects is quality plus
correct observance of the pack and grade rules.
Nothing more is necessary, nothing less. 1 he "thou
shalt nots" of the grade rules must govern, lli.it
commandment brings the price when followed.
Our "BAR-NONE" label will be limited
to Al quality, grade and pack.

"Here's Real Tobacco"
says the Good Judge
That gives a man more
genuine chewing satis
faction than he ever got
out of the ordinary kind.
Smal lc r chew .lasts longer
so it costs less to chew
this class of tobacco.
And the good, rich to

of satisfaction.

't he cankers which are seen on the
tree and the spots which appear on the
apples in the winter are Htarted by
a spore too small to he seen by the
naked eye. These begin to be given
off by the old cankers shortly after the
rains start in the fall and continue to
come from these old cankers in abund
ance for two or three months and to a
certain extent all winter when the
i weather is warm and moist. Some of
' these spores are washed and spattered
about by the rain and blown around in
i the wind. If these spores chance to
' light on an apple or on a limb where
I the bark is not too tough and dry and
I the weather remains damp and moist
j the spore commences to grow in the
j same way as a grain of wheat; and its
roots, called mycelium, penetrate the
bark or skin of the apple and thrive in
the inner bark or tissues of the apple.
The growth of this root system de
I stroys the cells of life in that spot and
i usually by March a small spot can be
j seen on the tree. This spot grows
quite rapidly in the inner bark during
the late winter and early spring; 15 ot
a dark brown color and of a soft
mushy texture.
After the tree growth is well started
in the spring the spot seems unable to
grow farther and the bark in the dis
eased portion gradually dries up and
cracks awav from the healthy bark
which commences at once to grow back
over the wound. As a rule these cank
ers reach their full size the first year
but a new canker may start right be
side the old one and appear to be a
part of the original canker. The bark
in these spots appears dead but the
disease is really much alive and iB ma
turing its fruiting system under the
bark. After the bark of the trees be
comes softened by the rains in the fall
the fruiting bodies are pushed up
through the skin of the bark and then
burst and discharge the spores which
are then free to be blown or washed
about.
One of the unfortunate things about
this disease is that the old cankers,
though they do not enlarge, continue
for three successive falls to give off
spores. Thus it is that an absolute
control of the disease by spraying one
year will not prevent many new cank
ers from coming the next year if not
sprayed. Spraying does not kill the
old cankers but simply coats the bark
of the treewith copper sulfate which
destroys the tender spore when it
lodges on the bark. It is entirely pos
sible to clean up a seriously infected
orchard in three years by thorough
spraying. At the end of his time the
old cankers will be dead. Because the
cankers are active for so long it is
easier to be rid of the source of infec
tion by cutting out the cankered wood
where there is not too much of it in an
orchard. These cankers remain alive
on dead branches even when cut off,
and unless put under cover or de
stroyed will continue giving off spores
when wet.
From this it is seen that if there are
cankers in an orchard which are three
years old or less that there will be
many spores present which will surely
infect the tree and if the apples are
not all picked before the rains there
will be many infections there also.
Someone is going to take a loss from
these infected apples. They may have
to be repacked in the warehouse here
or they may be shipped and then rot
but wherever it occurs the growers of
Hood Kiver are going to take the loss
eventually.
If it was only a loss to individual
growers the condition would not be
so serious, out the loss is tne loss or
reputation of Hood River apples among
the buyers of our fruit which results
in a reduced demand for the apples of
all. As Hood Kiver is the only large
apple producing district in the North
west effected with this disease, we can
realize our position in the eyes of the
buyers of Northwest apples unless we
keep our fruft.free from this disease.
Next week 1 shall attempt to bring
to your attention the value of the sum
mer Bordeaux, time of application and
possible damage from its use. It will
be generally recommended for use in
the Willamette valley this year and
also by your own Experiment Station
here for orchards seriously infected.
Tamp Ground Sanitation
Sanitation of camping grounds is a
problem now being considered by the
people of Oregon. With the opening
of many new highways has come the
problem of accommodating the scores
of campers and tourists who wish to
spend their vacations out of doors.
Many cities have made attractive
camping grounds, but aside from this
the responsibility is left to the indi
vidual. Carelessness in camp sanitation is
the cause of most of the typhoid epi
demics. The old saying, "an'ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,"
proves its worth in a case like this.
Care in the selection of food and water
supply and in disposing of garbage and
sewage is the best safeguard.
Pure water is often difficult to find
so it is usually best to treat all drink
ing water, suggest specialists at the
agricultural college. Boiling is a safe
and sure method. Chlorine tablets,
which can be bought at any drug store
will kill most germs.
School Fair Outlook Promising
County School Superintendent Gib
son, 'who has charge of the event, says
that practically every school in the
county is taking an interest in the ap
proaching industrial school fair.to be
held in September. Children of the
rural sectionshave neat garden tracts,
where they are raising vegetables for
exhibit.
Two boys and two girls will win free
trips to the state fair on agricultural
exhibits. A free trip will also be given
to members of the canning team
awarded first prise at lb fair.

We have been marketing Ideal Graders for
the past six years. They have grown more
popular each year.
Our machines are a favorite in all North
western fruit sections. We have shipped them
in numbers to foreign apple districts,
The 1921 model of Ideal Grader is ready
for distribution. It will carry a number of
improvements. We mention at random some
of them: The machine can be adjusted for
sizing while in operation. Two adjusting
screws do the work. Our new sorting table
is a feature that will be noticed at once.
We hope to place as many as possible of
the machines we manufacture in Hood River
and for this reason would urge that local grow
ers give us their order at once, in order that
we may include them before we are booked
to the limit of our capacity.
