BOXED APPLES NEED
MORE ADVERTISING
The recent meeting of the Washing
ton State Horticultural Society held in
Spokane whs well represented by fruit
growers of the four Northwest states
and Hritish Columbia, the producer ot
boxed apples. The discussion brought
out many things of interest to grow
ers, especially along lines of increasing
the consumption of our product and
its accompanying return. It was the
unanimous opinion of all growers pres
ent that the time is now ripe for the
formation of an 01 ganizat ion of North
west producers whereby ways und
means may be devised which will en
able them to mure extensively adver
tise and distribute their rapidly in
creasing product, the Northwest boxed
apple. With this idea in mind a com
mittee representing the interested
. 1 ,. 1 . - urns annolntao. This committee
made up for the most part, of growers,
WHS as follows: .1. Ln nomas, u
ton. Wash. ; W. 11. Wicks, Idaho; C. L.
Shovell, Montana; A. r. Harss, Van
couver. B. C ; E. A. Wiggins, Wash
ington, and Leroy ( lnhis, ol Oregon.
The duties of this committee are to
place before the various shippers and
growers, both private and cooperative
organizations, the purposes of this
movement, they, as growers and ship
pers, to send representatives to the
first meeting on organization which is
to be held in Spokane early in
February.
It is not the intention or purpose of
this organization to undertake the
marketing of this otiput of the North
west or todisrupt or change in any
way preterit marketing organizations,
but to develop an organization of fruit
growers and dealers who will standard
ize their product with icference to
quality ami grade and to finance a
project which will permit extensive
national and internaional advertising
of our one great commodity, the
Northwest box apple.
The needs for concerted effort in the
proper advertising of this commodity
are many and ate becoming more an
parent each year. A glance at grow
ers' returns which have been received
during the past few years show that
some radical changes and improve
ments must take place In order to pre
sence this great industry and place
it upon a profitable basis. The causes
for the present existing conditions can
be largely placed upon the shoulders of
the fruit growers themselves and can
be largely corrected by them if they
are willing to do so. Our apple ton
nage has increased tremendously dur
ing the past five years. We have paid
particular attention to cultural prac
tices and have developed quality and
quantity production to the highest
standard existing in trie world.
The fruits of this effort are particu
larly gratifying and we find the North
west producing 40 per cent of the entire
production of the country. But what
has been done to coordinate this pro
duction with systematic advertising
and distribution'.' Nothing. On the
contrary the little advertising that has
been done has had a tendency to bring
about competition in box producing
sections, one with another and a natur
al competition in our common market
resulting in injury to all. During the
period of infancy in the box apple in
dustry this local competition in adver
tising, in quality, and quantity of out
putput added vigor to the game; today
it is killing it.
The correction of this difficulty rests
largely with us as f r lit growers. With
our interests combined anil coordinated
in a way which will nermit of a wider
distribution and consumption brought
about through channels of vigorous
advertising we will be able to face the
future with its increasing perplexities
in a way consistent with modern bus
iness practices, the improvement of
our present marketing conditions, as
well ss the production of a perfect
product rests with the grower himself.
Collectively great strmes can be made
in improving the situation. Acting in
dividually we will continue to receive
the discouraging teturns with which
we are familiar.
PRUNING SCHOOL
WILL BE HELD
(By Gordon ( i Brown)
Word has just been received from
C. L. Long, extension horticulturist of
the Oregon Agricultural College, that
he has no open dates in his schedule
before February 25, which he can give
to Hood River for the pruning school.
It will be remembered that this school
was postponed on account of the big
snow storm of two weeks ago. He has
been generous ennugh, however, to
offer to come to Hood River during hu
Christmas vacation in order to give
this section the benefit of his services.
He has agreed to come and spend four
days with us, December 27 to 30.
In view of these facts it is fitting
that Hood River lend every support in
making this school a success. Every
body is invited to come to the meetings
and get the most out of them. It is
not hoped to make expert pruners out
of amateurs in four days but it has
been demonstrated that the funda
mentals of pruning can be grasped
very quickly and put into practical use
by those who come prepared to apply
themselves.
The four days will be scheduled off
in a similar manner to that previously
annoum'ed. l'arkdale will be given the
first two days, Tuesday and Wednes
dav, December 27 and 28, and Hood
River the remaining two days, De
cember 82 and 30.
The first half day in each section
will be reserved for preliminary dis
euision indoors, Mr. Long will briefly
outline the work at that time and the
prlneplss involved. All growers should
make it a point to attend the indoor
sessions because there will lie no fur-
ther opportunity for detailed discus-
ion In the field. The remaining one
and one half days in each section will
j be spent In the orchard where demon
strations hihI actual work liy those at
tending will be carried out. Please
bring your own pruning outfit. This
will include long and short handled
shears, saws. etc. The indoor session
at l'arkdale will be held in the Mclsaac
hall and the 0M in H00J River in Li
! brary hall, the former in the motning
j of December 27 and the latter in the
' morning of December 29. These meet
ings will open promptly at '.) a. m. Be
ion hand. Upon the success of this
.. ... r ... J
school depends trie iuiure 01 sucn dem

STORED APPLES
PRESENT A PROBLEM
While the apple market has shown a
material strengthening the past sev
eral weeks in heavy distributing points
on the Atlantic seaboard and in Chi
cago, C. W. McCullagh declares that it
will be difficult to tell how strong the
demand will develop later on in the
season because of the heavy storage
of Nurthwe tern apples.
"If all the carloads of apples that
have been shipped had been sold and
were now going into consumption,"
